sweep the leg

Dallas has had goaltending troubles since Turco retired.

I think this is the first time I've ever read somebody call Thorburn a floater. He's a decent skater, especially for a man his size.

Has a number been put out for what he's asking? I read "starter money", but what does that mean? He can't possibly expect what Messam or Harris are making.

I do to. I think he'll be similar to Chick; so-so in half a season when he came came back to the CFL after a longish stint in the NFL, but regain his old form in the following season.

Nice try, but not really.

I assume they tried to trade Shologan, which is what I had hoped would happen this offseason. Wasn't impressed by him at all last season, and he makes a lot of money. Edit: suprised about Lochard though.

He had Peach on the other side in 2015 and he put up big numbers. Kind of kills this argument...

Enzo is almost unwatchable for me. Can't stand him. Their entrance bit is way too long.

I like it for the draft and fa, but seldom if ever use it during a game.

Imo Hawerchuk & Malkin are both better than Lafontaine.

Lol at your certainty. A year is a long time and lots can change before he becomes a fa. Think back to this time last year and what the odds were that Durant would be in Montreal and Nichols the undisputed starter in Winnipeg right now.

I think the Argos are in a worse position. They're bad just about everywhere, with no leadership and a lot of pending fa's. A trade for Franklin and some decent work in FA (OL, rb) could help the Riders a lot. Those are big ifs, but imo they have more hope than the Argos do.

If he turns into a great qb, and re-signs long term, that trade would 100% be worth it. Best case scenario is for the Riders to give up a tonne to get Franklin, then see him leave for the NFL in a year. Franklin being a flop would be funny too, but I'm too nice to wish that on the young man.

I'm not sure I see that as a great deal. If you're the worst starting qb in the league you should make the least amount of money. Good for Glenn though.

Guaranteed win night!

Pavelec is back to save the season! Heads will explode...love it!

Pretty underwhelming play from Comrie so far in his AHL career.

What in that quote says he isn't?

The loss is on both. Lots of excuses for Helle, but he's been every bit as bad as the rest of the team in these last two losses.

I was hoping they'd lose him for nothing. This might give Nichols more leverage, but if Jones wasn't willing to pay for Durant, why would he open the wallet for Nichols?

Or they need better goalies for him to coach. Kind of the chicken or egg thing when we're not at practice to see what's going on. Both team's had garbage goaltending last night. Very frustrating game to watch.

Exactly.

Well that's part of the problem then, if you're citing people but don't know who they are. He's prominent in the link you posted. The buzzfeed/CNN story is uncorroborated, not necessarily completely fake. Still poor journalism, but not the same thing.
