do or die

Cats will growl Beware the Blue hunter Who stops their prowl

Nichols did a lot for this club. Tough to see him play like this. Looks like that shoulder is shot. His mobility was already shot. Bad combination.......

Both Elks and TigerCats were heavily hyped coming into season. Not impressed with either.

If you include the showing of some of the new guys.....team looked coached up, pretty good

In for a pinch.....in for a pound....

Masoli hits some short passes, a 20 yarder.... .......then he throws perfect 40 yard TD just over #45 coverage An opening drive, that brings back some bad memories Bombers with a couple of 2 and outs on O... Yapping and bumping after the whistle... so far Ticats holding their own at the LOS Collaros rolls away from pressure.... hits Demski for 50 Zach then has all day.... to find Lawler wide open for 25 yd TD. 7-6 for the good guys.... Ham OL doing a pretty job of pass pro.... ZC scrambles from side to side...before throwing incomplete Not much running game from either team Bomber O comes up with another 2 and out Willie Jefferson starts forward, then drops back..... ....and has the ball thrown right to him by Masoil Back to back runs by Oliveria for first down.. But Bomber short pass game...not clicking Sayles with nice shoestring tackle to force punt Oliveria takes screen pass for 20.....the kid is feeling it... ZC avoids sack and hits Lawler for first down Zac then escapes pocket and scrambles for 18 Finally Zac hangs it up for Lawler who wins jump ball in end zone ...to cap 95 yard drive and a 14 to 6 lead. Oliveria bashes for another 9. Kid hits the hole HARD Zac hits Woltman, time running down Bombers skip the 50+ FG attempt....halftime Plenty more yapping and shoving out there.... Both teams trading 2 and outs. Hamilton OL clutching and grabbing.... .....as Bomber DL is dialing it up now Jeffcoat roller skates a Hamilton O-lineman Masoli feeling the heat and running for his life Cats give up a safety Cats shut out for over 30 minutes now.... Jones very active on D... ZC tries to dance around the pocket and is sacked ...as Ham D stiffening....as well Masoli sacked by Sayles, who is having a good outing Masoli pressured... dumps it to Banks, who fumbles, Blue recover But Demski drops 2nd down pass. Banks catches a couple, but Ticat drive stalls Neither team generating much O, right now Banks is one of the biggest whiners ever... Oliveria with another 10 yds and a draw for 10 more Kid is pretty pumped.....and should be Brady O....still going.....yet another 10 yards Blue OL taking over....at this stage Zack hits Wilson down to the 10 But Illegal procedure and can't punch this in Settling for a crappy 15 yd FG 19-6 Good pass D by LB Rocquemore Liegghio gets a great double bounce.....80 yd punt Masoli pressured by Jeffcoat, throws it away 2 minutes left.....Hamilton 2 dump passes for first downs ....but this business is eating up a lot of time.. ...as Bomber secondary laying back at bit Masoli goes to the well....one more time... But throws it right to Rocquemore, for the pick Game Oliveria still pounding for still one more FD. Tiger cats scored on their first drive on O... ....then was shut out for the remaining 55 minutes 0 turnovers by the Bombers.... Who truly are a meat and potatoes, smash mouth football team "Magic" Masoli.......hah Brad Banks..............bah Hamilton victory formation needs yet more practice Underdog Bombers still champs Do or Die still drinking

During training camp......brought in some new gin, due to my dissatisfaction with previous supplies....

BC picked him up?

No problems here. Been spending the off season working my gin bottle curls, on HF Boards.

That size and reach don't grow on trees, either.

Wheeler keeps talking about the "process" I for one, would like to learn more about it...

Laine had a "players coach", with talent around him, in a crazed hockey market. Ended up with Torts, not much around him in a different market. Grass not always greener, on the other side....

Sure, growing pains.........but, we just finished having the pain (worst playoff performance in NHL history, according to advanced stats) , with not much potential upside....except perhaps, Stanley

Knew about Copp's status. My thinking was if the Jets are serious about signing him, they should do it before arbitration, for a number of reasons....

Sure, we can have a quick bounce back if a few things happen, but plenty of questions this off season... The deal is to get younger, stronger and faster, overall... On D. Just show Boo Boo, Forbert, and Benn a map to the exit ramp. Keep Poolman for now( who can skate), and really hope somebody helps him along with his hockey IQ. Protect Stanley. Heinola and Slamberg have open slots waiting for them. Need to bring in another D-man, so we can have enough competent pairings, back there.... Up front. Convinced PLD was nicked pretty badly, confident he will have a big bounce back. Have to keep 81 with 55. Connor looked hopeless without the Chief. Hard look needs to be taken at Wheeler's role and ice time, moving forward Get rid of the glue guys - need to get faster and younger there - Ves, Gus, and Harkins waiting and waiting and waiting.... Stas will be 36, love the guy but we need to divert some cap to defensive upgrades. Copp resigning here or not....is going to create a ripple effect on bottom 6 Perfetti? Up to him. If he can break in.....absolutely give him some PP time. We need more creativity there Coaching I have defended Maurice on HF for a number of years now. I am finding it real hard, right now to continue doing so. Will deal with that issue in another post

We got totally out skated, out battled and out hustled ...........by the Habs...... playing their 4th game in 6 days after playing a 7 game series. No excuses in the world, covers that.

The minor league team lost!

Coughed it up along the boards, one more time. Fitting.

Why do we look so much more tired that the Habs?

Habs got in TWQ CHANGES, while keeping the puck in our end, the whole time..... Joke.

13 shots in the first 47 minutes, in a must win game. Impressive...

Trying to look up the official NHL rule, against hitting Perry.... Jets getting some pretty tic-tac calls on them...

Our new trigger man. Price didn't look too hot on that one...

A man not afraid to shoot! I must protest. Merely thought about it...

Tired of reaching for the gin Bottle just sits in my lap now....
