From the Hockey News: “[Bennett] plays hard. He’s an extremely physical player, great player for the group. I think he got away with a shot, but I’m not going to complain," Marchand said on Thursday. "[Stuff] happens, that’s part of, especially, playoff hockey. I’ve been on the other side of a lot of plays, and I think he got away with one, but that’s part of the game.” Based on BM's specific style of play, he's lucky he hasn't been stretchered off. He's the perfect example of what Ref's need to call more often to lessen the retaliatory infractions to help lessen the violence that can cause serious injury, not only to the player that did the original deed, but to other players who pay the price of their teammates instigation style of play.

Oooooooh zing.

The second in a row that was cancelled?

He stuck with him really well but how do you stop a well placed ball with Lawler on the other end?

I thought they had a Vezina winner in Edmonton?

From said contact sport?

Nah, don't- I'd probably just drop it... Like the Bombers did in last years Grey Cup

Ok I’ll shut up. Actually no, we should’ve had that one too. You can have your nickleback

Noah Hallett back on the 6 game for the nth time, might be time to give up on this brother, he never panned out.

They'll prolly watch the NFL kickoffs this season to help determine if they want to go that route. These are the changes for the upcoming season: The league also announced it was ratifying other rule changes for 2024 directly relating to low blocks and decisions made by the command centre. Low blocks have been adjusted to further define the actions of a backfield player delivering a low block. Backfield players may block a defensive player low who is lined up across, from, or outside of the offensive tackle at the snap if the block occurs in the legal low block zone. The league also removed the requirement for the backfield player to be within the legal low block zone at the snap to make the call easier to officiate, while also heightening player safety by limiting who can be legally blocked low. No yards has now been added to the list of penalties that can automatically be picked up by the command centre if called incorrectly by on-field officials. Replay officials can only become involved when a clear mistake has been made. Tripping the quarterback behind the line of scrimmage has also been added to the list of penalties that the command centre can assist on and is now challengeable by a coach. Coaches are allowed to strategically use a timeout to provide the command centre with more time to automatically review a play that is not challengeable, though only one timeout can be used after the three-minute warning in the fourth quarter. Coaches still only have access to two timeouts per game. https://3downnation.com/2024/05/17/cfl-kickoff-rules-unchanged-in-2024-subcommittee-formed-to-examine-future-changes/

I've got a shiny nickel for each of you who finally decides to shut the **** up about last years cup.

Report: Maple Leafs hiring Berube as head coach Arniel moves up from 10th to 9th

K-Law just bananas

The last time I would have seen it was in the 1980’s when you had to roster 11 starting Canadians including special teams IIRC. The standard make-up was 5 Canadians on the o-line, starting fullback, two slot backs, and on defence the safety and the nose tackle, for 10 there, plus the kicker/punter (one doing dual work, or both being Canadian). And the Bombers once had an extra Canadian start with House/Poplawski at slot, the 5 OL (Walby, Bonk, Bastaja, Moors, Nemeth, and later Bauer, Black, Molle and Rodehuskers), Kehoe, Huklack or Hudson at fullback, Bennett, Flagel, or Allen at safety and Mikawod at nose tackle. Add Cameron/Kennerd and we had 12. The extra starter was Darryl Sampson at halfback, as his mom was Jamaican I believe so he actually qualified as a Canadian starter, so we could roster 13 Canadian starters.

yeah...Kramdi started last yr...but shouldnt have,,,,and shouldnt this yr either....we should be starting Woli...NO....Demski....3 olineman and Lawson as defacto designated starters on each side of ball....really anything after that should not happen unless a NI blows any import at his spot right out of the water...and Can't see that happening...That being said I would like to see an 8th on defence...Hopefu;;y it's Ford as he is our next best Canadian there and would not hburt us in the slightest at boundary corner or SAM and has most upside of any NI we currently have here....That way we can freely rotate in an extra DI which would greatly improve our front.....more than 8 is a waste and making us a weaker starting 24

Good time for CAR mini-rebuild. I'll take Jarvis and a coach please.

If O'Shea passes Grant in playoff wins then undoubtedly he would be the top coach in Bomber history. Bud has 15 playoff wins and Mike sits at 8. You'd think a few Grey Cups would be included in those additional wins.

He started because ford wasn’t here. Kramdi isnt going any where, and he’s the ideal guy to have as the back up db and package guy.

All the talk of kick return changes amount to nothing. Bit surprising, think they should’ve tested some option in pre season.

The O going 2 and out constantly didn’t help either. People like to blame the D but our O was ****. Collaros sucked. If we gonna revisit the cup game I think you need to point more fingers at collaros and the O who pretty much did nothing for 50 minutes. lol people still pretending kramdi won’t be starting after starting last year and signing a new 3 year deal. Seriously?

He did good I mean lawler is that kind of guy. Must be insane to be a db in this camp lol. the tug on the jersey could do with out though. the 3 ol, demski, woli, brady, Lawson that’s a strong 7. Plus ford. Lawson is a beast and played great last year. He should be the starter and see the most dt snaps. But we will Jake that all up I’m sure.

VAN has the best riots.

And I agree there. We can count up a half dozen plays in that game, and any one of them flips the other way, and we very well see a much happier outcome. So many games can come down to those half dozen plays and a strong factor in switching the outcome. The agony and ecstasy of sport.

The sdsu connections up here are real strong.

I’ll be honest. I’m not convinced we have 7 legit starting Canadians. So to start 9 10. That would be handicapping ourselves pretty big time.
