Penton says they lost money... Kirk Penton @PentonKirk When you include the loan payment, the #Bombers actually lost $576,000 in 2014. #CFL

Never mind back to back shutouts, he's never won back to back games on consecutive nights at anytime in his career. Good on him. Dude was lights out.

When healthy, it's actually a pretty good team, I swear. They're massively underrated because of what Eakins had 'em doing. The team, post-Eakins under Todd Nelson, has been more than solid. Make no mistake, there's still a long way to go - especially at G and D - but this team is not as bad as the stats would suggest.

People using the stats as a pure indicator of Pavelec's worth are being pretty silly. Again, you have to take in to account so much more than just the goaltender. The level of play from defense, and from the entire team's defensive play. Fuhr always had **** numbers, but is in the HOF and is unequivocally one of the best goaltenders of all time because of what he played behind. I'm not arguing for or against Pavelec, but you can't just post his numbers and say "There! Told you so..." There's so much more to it than that...

Edmonton at full health really aren't that bad of a team. They've been dressing a minor league team, essentially, over the last few games. They've got Bachman back starting tonight, which will help because Scrivens is just toast. Dude is done. One of the biggest problems, though, is their defense has been pure ****. Need some bodies back in a big way...

This could end up being one of the all time great stories.......could also be a complete nothing, but seems like there's potential for a really great story here...

http://www.bluebombers.com/article/bombers-add-to-roster-release-one The Winnipeg Blue Bombers announce today the club has signed International wide receiver Kashif Montgomery, and International defensive back Gabe Lynn. Montgomery (6-2, 200, Virginia Lynchburg, April 4, 1987 in Central Falls, Rhode Island) played high school football in his home state, and was considered one of the best to ever play the sport during his time at Central Falls High School. He was undrafted in 2012 and played semi-pro football for the Rhode Island Wardogs. Lynn (6-0, 204, Oklahoma, February 24, 1991 in Tulsa, Oklahoma) played in 44 games, starting 25, at Oklahoma. He finished his collegiate career with 116 tackles, four interceptions and 2.5 sacks. He was named an All Big-12 First Team in 2013 as a senior. Lynn was signed by the Detroit Lions as an undrafted free agent but was released in July 2014. The club has also announced the release of International running back Sam McGuffie. The McGuffin is no more!!!

For what it's worth, I'm a huge Toby Enstrom fan....and I'm a big fan of everything Byfuglien does, aside from when he tries to play defense. But I also stand by all previous statements. If Myers is as rejuvinated as he appears, then he's lethal, and could be in the mold of Pronger, Niedermayer, etc, and lord knows Trouba has a massively high ceiling, but from there.......it's a pretty steep fall.

Forgot about Myers...my bad. Myers is probably the best dman. But if other teams are looking to trade for a Jets D, the conversation begins and ends with Trouba (...or Myers). I'm not taking anything away from those other guys, but the real point is that Jets fans seriously overrate their players, especially on D.

Also apparently ABC trying to reboot the Muppet Show...

The only legit defenseman this team has is Trouba, then a bunch of semi capable backups. Byfuglien is more a utility guy than a straight up defenseman. The tenders have to do a lot more work than they should have...

Anyone who thinks Pav is to blame in these games doesn't understand hockey. Period.

They have been actively trying to win (one of the few who are) and were 5-1-1 before Anaheim.

Peach is a GREAT depth guy, but if he's starting for you, your line isn't good enough. 17to85 and I were saying that we'd love to see a big breakout year for Jake Thomas this year. Fully expecting Vega to play more like the NFL-level talent that he is, in 2015, and will chalk 2014 up to playing injured/

I'm expecting a bounce back year from Vega. I think (hope) his problems last year were due to playing hurt.

Again, as with the blog, it's highly sanitized with zero hard news content. I'm trying to figure what, exactly, the team gains from all this....is there anyone out there (even casual-at-best fans) that enjoys this stuff?

Watch for DC's blog on this in a couple days...

No, phone hearing, which generally means 2 or less...

hearing is tomorrow...as per Sportsnet.

Button figures at least a couple games for the crosscheck to the neck of TJ Miller...

I've said all along that I have a hard time believing Kyle Walters would be this transparent about their draft plans...

Pretty much my entire reason for existing, right there...I thought it was to agree with everything 17to85 says... Oh Christ, no...that guy's an *******...

There's a good point -- because I really don't think he is. He's using *A* blog to give us the team's PR spin dressed up as *HIS* blog giving us his thoughts. The point is, if you're not going to give us something we aren't already getting elsewhere, then why bother at all?
