I can't see Gowanlock or Laing getting defensive reps ahead of or in lieu of Bailey...Laing may be hard pressed to make roster this yr but is a great PR guy to see if he develops..he may just turn the corner with professional coaching and environment If Bailey is what many think...and ceiling is high ...then him on roster over say a Schmeck...Thomas...Gowanlok...that's a major win in my eyes...and i think 3 import olinemen is a last resort..and would overall make us weaker

55 game 1. Josh game 3. Stanley? Don’t care cuz fleury stepped up

learn a bit about Mr Adams here.

It's always a question of how we deploy our ratio. The global player comes at a cost of an extra Canadian so that's going to be a tough choice. We added some Canadian DE's so it may become an either or choice. We have Gowanlock and Laing looking to win a spot. All of this folds into whether we move towards a 3 import OL. That eliminates an import or even the global elsewhere on the roster in order to retain a Canadian back up.

I’d be somewhat surprised if Scheifele doesn’t play tomorrow. The non contact jersey makes sense given that he likely had a concussion. Why would you want him to take any unnecessary contact? If he was still experiencing any symptoms, he definitely wouldn’t be practicing. If he’s good after practice, and tomorrow morning, I’d expect him to play.

I think Scheifs will return Game 3/4. JoMo... may be game 6. Let's hope these guys come out strong Game 1/2. Need to win both at home!

Jack-Kurdyla played exclusively at RG in U of Buffalo.

My guess is SMS was a part of it too. He was on a 150k per contract with a 25k TC bonus coming. His injury, salary, and the fact that others stepped up well in his absence and may have passed him on the DC, made him expendable. He's not a bad player, and is likely a victim of losing his job through injury. Happens a 100x a year in football. Someone will pick him up.

He pulled down pretty good money for the amount of reps he was likely to get.

I would think that is likely. He was extended last year on a two year deal but was back in the tub for most of the year. They likely just moved in a different direction and decided to save some SMS and roster space. He could be worth taking a flyer on. Not sure if he is better than anything we already have though.

Edmonton Elks release Canadian OL Tomas Jack-Kurdyla, sign 10 others - 3DownNation 1st round pick from 2020 - spent most of last season on the IR and only played 4 games so I wonder if this move was injury related?

Who?

I was surprised to read that the Bombers have set an all time high for season tickets at over 23000 & counting. I find that low. I'd have thought 25-27000 might have been their previous all time high. Just tells you the razor thin margins that CFL teams operate under. If we drop just 4000 season tickets, we're back to just breaking even or losing money. One or two bad seasons & the gravy train is over.

I was reading that the Riders had lost close to 10,000 season ticket holders since Covid 19. They're back up to around 15,000 now. The Riders aren't cash kings anymore. They lost $1.1 million in 2024. Lots of fans did not like being told they needed a vaccination passport to go to the games at Mosaic Stadium in 2021 & haven't returned. A large percentage of their fanbase are rural & Conservative based & not allowing fans in to see Rider home games if they were unvaccinated caused a lot of negative feelings. I suspect that the same thing happened in Calgary with vax passports as attendance collapsed for the Stamps in 2021 & it's never really come back to anywhere close to what it was in 2019. Then again, Stamps owner Murray Edwards does nothing to bring the fans back anyway. Edmonton is much more complex. Name & brand change occured in 2020 that a lot of the fanbase hated & still do, Constant losing seasons, Four years without a win at home. Terrible mgmt & coaching decisions starting with Brock Sutherland as GM in 2019 & Head Coach Jaimie Elizondo. Continuing with Chris Jones as Chief Cook & Bottlewasher. Factor in vax passports pissing Elks fans off & it was & still is a recipe for disaster.

I wonder if we reach out to try and bring it TJK

Leafs win but lose a goalie https://www.nhl.com/news/anthony-stolarz-injury-status-update

Wednesday 10:30-12:30 bison field. Thursday 10-12 Friday 10:15-12:15 These are the times I was told for rookie camp.

My guess is with this timing he wasn’t gonna be physically ready or didn’t put in the work they were looking for. the elk also signed Jonathon rosery who I wish we never cut.

wait the lottery was today? eh who cares the Jets aren't in the top 16 anyway (I heard they're picking 27 in the first round anyway)

Who, if I may ask?
