It was a strange announcement. Nobody has ever done that before. Are they going to do that with every free agent they lose? What about the Argos & Ti Cats & the players they lost? That would be a lot of announcements per team. Our team last year? Some new CFL media protocol? It was just weird.

Tell me what players Mace threw under the bus? I'd really like to know...
Looks like most of their free agents signed extensions because they wanted to stay & not leave as you are trying to suggest. Yes, some players left just like any other team. It happens every year especially on a defending Grey Cup championship team because everyone wants to be paid & it's impossible. Mace lost some very good players to be sure but he also kept a lot of great ones, too.
Why am I defending Mace? I defend him because he's a very good coach. To say otherwise would be stupid. I don't have to automatically hate him just because I hate the Riders. I still respect him & what he's accomplished.
Mace has never been in over his head as a Head Coach like Craig Dickenson was. From Day 1, he had a vision of what he wants & he coaches that way. Treats his players like men as he should & they respond positively. He makes them accountable for their actions everyday. Mace doesn't play favourites or gives any free rides, He's also a Grey Cup Champion Head Coach. Which makes it all the more sweeter to beat him when we play the Riders.

The CFL isn't big enough to go on either Netflix or prime. I love the CFL..  but outside of Canada it's just not a draw.
 
 

We should be looking at big streaming services to see if we could make a deal to go on Amazon Prime or Netflix. You just don't know until you try. maybe also trying to get the games televised in Europe. I mean, if TSN televises German soccer (Bundeslegia) why can't the CFL have a tv deal overseas? It's all about reaching out & if there's interest to negotiate a deal. Imagine the CFL being paid in Euros??? 
 

I agree but throwing some cash at Kenny Lawler would have helped a lot.

Nyquist is on the 1st line. What a well deserved promotion!

Last checked in to this thread in early December, saw that the number one topic was Jake Thomas.  Now I come back end of January....looks like I didn't miss anything...lol...

Nobody knows as much as Booch...😉

8-10 here we come 

Other than the fact that high glove = guaranteed goal. He hasn't been the same this season. I wouldn't be surprised if he was on the bench for the Olympics.

When it's HNIC Saturday Night and the Leafs are playing, the PBP crew will always be an extension of the Leafs regional crew. As it was, as it is, as it ever shall be. 
Whatever... Shove it up their ass with a win. 

Schenn tho wasn’t overly thrilled about being traded here last year so there’s prob some smoke around this one. But honestly what playoff team wants a slow washed up D man. 

My takeaway: Chevy expects them to keep losing, doesn't think his farm players are any better than what he has, and thinks calling them up will just shatter their confidence. Better to have the vets take the bullet.
 
Not entirely sure how I feel about any of that.

The fun part of the off season is coming up in a month. It'll either sink our season or not depending upon a GM I no longer trust is capable of doing the job. 

f****** brain dead play by Stanley

And how did that work out?

Demelo taking a stupid penalty and then our coach making a dumb decision not having Toews taking the draw.

Arniel cost us the game. 

Knuckles should stay retired ,period. 

Why is Willson employed? Reading his other posts he's extremely childish and acts like a baby whenever anyone calls him out.   Get rid of him ASAP.  

Absolutely.....you don't tangle with a legend like Bob....Willson is coming across like a punk who needs his arse kicked

Lots of remorse in Minnesota with the play & injuries of JJ McCarthy. Last year, no matter what Sam Darnold did on the field, the fans really wanted McCarthy. Well, they got him. I think the OC & HC in Minnesota Kevin O'Connell was arrogant thinking any qb can play in his system & win when they can't. You need a legit starter to win & the Vikings had that with Darnold. Now the Seahawks have him.

yup....."just follow Kate's lead Y'all" act like a complete moron
