Anthems at tournaments make sense. Anthems before every nhl games don’t.

Canada wins.

Marchand scoring the winner in Boston Against team USA would be a nice story. So would Sid cuz he’s the greatest Canadian hockey player of all time.

It’s Covid. Makar had it also.

Games in St. Louis isn’t it. Makar or MacKinnon for Canada cuz Helle against the Avs isn’t good in big games I’ll go Brady or Guentzel for USA. i was hoping 5 1 Canada cuz that would be funny cuz 51st but looks like 3 2 is gonna do it.

Why? Cuz didn’t overpay for a receiver db and oline who most ppl **** on last year.

So only Helle.

Yup. The worst thing the bombers did that game was injure MBT cuz we were winning at that point. Kelly came in and we couldn’t tackle. And the rest as they say is history and you guys had your lunch hour parade at city hall.

I’m under the impression ceresna and brinkman were gonna end up in the same place along with Robbie smith. And they all did. In reality none of the “high profile” free agents were coming here. They were going to the highest bidder and the highest bidder is never the teams who were just in the cup. We lost a receiver and defensive back, both appear to be overpaid, Toronto lost their entire D line. Montreal didn’t spend like morons. Bombers didn’t either, depth appears improved tho. Normally the bad teams spend like fools in the off season and they did. And if that worked then bc and Hamilton would be in cup finals and winning but they haven’t. its like the nhl free agent frenzy. Jets don’t sign any big names (there’s reasons lol) but every year ppl complain when they don’t. But they are currently the best team in the league but in July ppl were pissed they didnt overpay a guy to come here. Teams who spend spend spend on hockey and the cfl, they don’t really win. Baseball the only sport where you can probably buy a winner and basketball but even then you only get Yankees vs dodgers once every 20 years in the final. as for the whole we lost 3 in a row stuff, things happen in single game winner take all scenarios. The undefeated patriots lost to the giants. The 14 and 4 bombers lost to an 8 and 10 Calgary team. Kansas city just got owned by Philly. It happens. That’s sports.

The bombers channel was probably closer to 240 or 250 than 275. And that’s really what it comes down to. If Sask offered him 280 he’d be there. If Calgary offered 282 he’d go there. Pretty obvious they weren’t willing to pay Kenny close to 275 cuz of they were they could have matched that 275 and all things being equal we would have the best weight room and facilities still.

Lowry back skating with the team in a regular jersey. Helle not expected to play Saturday Kyle and Josh to be determined

Yes I’m sure Kenny looking forward to playing in front of 10000 less fans on average probably. Eat em raw right Kenny. With him and Bridges tho, that’s 2 deadly weapons for BO. Dude gonna throw for 10000 yards and finish 6 and 12.

I also thought Montreal signed bennet to the PR last year but maybe I’m thinking of another former bust. But yeah apparently he wasn’t at all. After remaining unsigned for the 2024 season, it was announced on February 18, 2025, that Bennett had signed with the Montreal Alouettes to a one-year contract.[16]

It’s been a fun event helped by lack of anything else sports on lol. Not quite Olympic hockey but close.

The olympics is the rubber match dude.

I feel we win tho. Just get that feeling. Rubber match gonna be required

lol at riders at 1 in the meaningless ride the riders **** February power rankings. Honestly. 3Down never gonna be taken seriously allowing **** like that. 1 guy makes that with the ticats pretty much and that’s a bigger yikes than 2 guys who make more impact on a regular basis.

Binnington does not inspire confidence. They almost leafed themselves today.

I don’t see a fleecing here. Edwards knees weren’t destroyed

Was that not the Matt Nichols era? Dude wasn’t that terrible. It’s cool how ppl forgetting about Schoen also. He was a guy we brought in recently. Wilson. Wheatfall even but RWJ, im thinking I can’t remember the last time we brought in a guy coming off destroying his knees like this. Maybe that Ryan Smith guy ? I’m not even sure tho.

Right. Should compare more to guys from 30 years ago.

KC invisible. Josh and Helle not. USA 3 Canada 1. Binnington letting in goals Helle doesn’t is the difference. really is. Helle is an elite top 3 nhl goaltender prob best currently in the league. Binnington ain’t top 20 even. Keeping Logan Thompson at home was dumb. Not saying he’d make a difference cuz not gonna win scoring 1 but not gonna win letting in 1 awful goal a game also. Binnington has done that every game.

Someone said there are 8 Florida panthers in the tourney and I thought 3 Jets was lots lol.

Canada USA having a pretty fun first. 1 1 after 1. Morrissey really is a top 5 D man in the league.

Reggie White Jr might not compare to anyone we have brought in recently because of the knee exploding issues he’s dealt with. At one point RWJ was a big time deep threat and legit receiver in the league. That was prob 2 3 seasons ago now tho. I think if he makes the active roster it’s a win. I’m honestly not expecting it tho. Boom or bust in my opinion and I’m leaning towards bust, no reason just feel he ain’t gonna be what he used to be. I think the receiver from Sask has some interesting potential tho so I think in RWJs case, there’s just gonna be a few to many talented guys that he has to beat out. I could see him being an early cut honestly or not even making it to camp. But I could see him also being what he was, the injury issues suggest he’s closer to done tho.
