  1. I loved the old school goaltending. The 2 pad stack. Staying up on their skates rather than doing a butterfly on their knees & sliding across the crease. Ranford on his back with the puck underneath him. Great to watch.
  2. Kris King looked in great shape as well. Has Tikkanen put on the pounds. I felt sorry for Mike Ford & Willy Lindstrom. Only Ford & Lindstrom played in the WHA with Bobby Hull. It would have been great to get their takes on the game & playing here 40 years ago when it all started. Didn't even talk to either of them. Nice to see Eddie Olcyzk & Numannin back as Jets. It was exciting to see all these all those great players.
  3. Burris took his hand off the football like he was going to throw then changed his mind. Instead of bringing the football back to his chest & holding with 2 hands he just left the football hanging down in his arm & it was swatted out. It was a split second decision that coast the RedBlacks the game.
  4. Henry Burris did what he always seems to do, His fumble in overtime. In crunch time he seems to make a lot of mistakes that cost the different CFL teams he has played on dearly. He knew the pocket around him was collapsing yet he was sloppy protecting the ball with both hands. Thus allowing the defensive player to swat the ball out of his right hand and leads to the loss. He throws for over 400 yards & the fumble is all people will be talking about.
  5. That isn't the way things are done. You don't fire O'Shea as he got a playoff spot. You need to reward him. Not punish him. Also, there's no guarantee that another coach would do better than Mike as he might do worse.
  6. I'm just glad the O'Shea hire is starting to work out. I'm sure he'll be signed to a new contract soon.
  7. That was Terrell Owens when he was with the 49ers. Steve Mariucci fined & benched him after his stunt. I think he did it twice that game running to the Star at midfield. To this day, whenever Mariucci talks about that incident on the NFL Network he still gets worked up about it. He said Owens embarrassed himself & the entire 49ers organization. Mariucci apologized publicly to the Cowboys afterward saying that isn't how the Niners play the game. He said he was very angry with Owens & that it changed their relationship negatively & it was never the same up to when he left the team. He said that even today there's still friction between them.
  8. I'd like to know Keeping's injury. If he's ready to go soon.
  9. O'Shea body of work this season has merited a new contract. He has a winning record & his team made the playoffs. I think he deserves a 3 year deal but not more.
  10. I don't agree. We only have a 5 million dollar plus salary cap. We could sign another veteran player for what he is being paid.
  11. What happened to Keeping? His injury was supposed to keep him out until around Labor Day. Is he backing up or still on the injury list.
  12. I hope that we can move on from Neufeld next season & release him in the off season. He's an expensive veteran player not worth what we're paying him as he's injured all the time.
  13. I'm all for signing Walters but if it's 5 years for Walters & 4 years for O'Shea then I'm afraid that it would cripple the Bombers financially if the team failed in the standings under both of them & a change in both positions had to be made.
  14. No, I would keep the divisions. We have the crossover...
  15. Joe Daley has a sports memorabilia store in Winnipeg. As a former WHA Jet goalie he would have autographed that stick. He'd know what that stick would be worth. If you ever get to Winnipeg get him to check it out.
  16. Read Herb Zurkowsky's column. Jim Popp could have avoided this mess but chose to ignore it. http://montrealgazette.com/sports/football/cfl/montreal-alouettes/alouettes-with-decision-to-drop-duron-and-stafford-chapdelaine-shows-his-resolve?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
  17. Is it just me or does anyone else think Cato is a bit unhinged? Something is wrong with that guy.
  18. This event may be BIG in some peoples eyes. To others it's not. For one thing, it's early. It might have sold better if it was third week of March instead of October just because the season is coming to a close & people are really into it a that time. That's my theory. So we stay at home & enjoy both games in front of the telly.
  19. I'd give Carter a chance ahead of Carter. Everywhere Duron has gone has been a problem. So, I'd never want him signing with the Bombers. I don't think the same of Stafford. I think he's been a good teammate elsewhere & would do well away from the situation in Montreal. Besides, how much of the problems going on there has to do with Cato? He doesn't look like a great teammate either.
  20. I think both Walters & O'Shea deserve extensions. They did what they needed to do in 3 seasons which is how a rebuild should be judged. I look forward to it happening.
