Noeller Posted March 13, 2020 Report Posted March 13, 2020 curious about NHL playing in the summer and how that would affect CFL....

Floyd Posted March 13, 2020 Report Posted March 13, 2020 I can't see how NHL would affect CFL games even if playoffs are in the summer... you might have one or two games that conflict in markets Noeller and captaincanuck12 2
Rich Posted March 13, 2020 Report Posted March 13, 2020 Could affect attendance in terms of not being as high up in the news cycle. Floyd and Noeller 2

Can't see this corona-virus being that bad.
Dirty30 Posted March 13, 2020 Report Posted March 13, 2020 The Argos would be screwed if the NHL and NBA seasons were extended.

Stickem Posted April 10, 2020 Report Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) Whatever happened to this guy.....seems like he fell off the earth...I see that the Esks. have signed Armanti Edwards today....not a bad little receiver...Thought they might be in the Walker game.....I doubt they'd be now with the inking of Edwards Edited April 10, 2020 by Stickem
SpeedFlex27 Posted April 10, 2020 Report Posted April 10, 2020 Walker can sit in anonymity for all I care. We have more important things to worry about. Maybe he wants to play in the XFL. Oh wait...

SpeedFlex27 Posted April 15, 2020 Report Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) Regular season starts Labour Day. Play a 12 week schedule. All regular season games played in Canada. Then switch the playoff games to Arizona & California with the Grey Cup played in the SW or California before Christmas Day. If empty stadiums are to be used, this makes perfect sense as college stadiums will be empty except for the Bowl games. That would allow us to extend the season so late. Just a thought.

That's just dumb. Play for the Grey Cup in the US? No thanks. And even if this was a good idea (which it isn't), how many US stadium fields can be adapted to allow for Canadian demensions? I'm thinking that there cant be that many. Noeller 1
Noeller Posted April 15, 2020 Report Posted April 15, 2020 More and more, I'm leaning toward scrapping the 2020 season. The border isn't going to be open in time for the US players to get up here, and they aren't going to allow fans for at least a year, if not more....and the CFL isn't a league that can get by without fans in attendance. At this point, I think we'd be lucky to only lose 1 season... Bigblue204, Stickem and Mr Dee 3
Jpan85 Posted April 15, 2020 Report Posted April 15, 2020 They also can't afford to not receive the 40+ million from TSN rebusrankin 1

At this point, I think we'd be lucky to only lose 1 season... I’m almost at that point. Sad really, but it seems inevitable. It almost seems surreal. At the very least, we go through this after achieving our goal, and that was winning the league prize. They cannot take that away, nor attach an asterisk to it. It’s a clean, deserved win...and it’s ours. Noeller 1
Firekid Posted April 15, 2020 Report Posted April 15, 2020 I got a call from the Bombers couple days ago and the lady told me they are planning on starting the season on July 1st as of right now. She did also indicate that anything could happen before that lol! I guess they know as much as anyone else. Noeller and rebusrankin 2
NorthernSkunk Posted April 15, 2020 Report Posted April 15, 2020 It wouldn't feel right watching any cfl teams playing for the cup in the states. Tracker 1
