Here’s something I found pretty interesting: With Winnipeg clinching the west division last night, it gives us 3 different top seeds in 3 seasons (Calgary ‘18, Sask ‘19, Winnipeg ‘21) The last time that happened was ten years ago (Sask 09, Calgary ‘10, BC ‘11) That is an absolutely bizarre stat. Between 2012-2018, Calgary won the division 5 times, BC once, and Edmonton once.

Burnham continually signs one year deals with BC - he must really like living in Vancouver but also want to play elsewhere.

I agree. Any given Sunday, but exceedingly unlikely.

Yay

I said it on RF, I’ll say it here. A team will have to play essentially perfect to beat Winnipeg. It’s possible, unlikely, but possible. The Bombers don’t have any glaring weaknesses to exploit.

Winnipeg reminds me of that one really good high school football team that just trounces everyone else.

Burnham either puts in little effort, or catches the ball with his feet. No in between.

Just updating my depth charts here… where do you think Rose slots in? Field or boundary corner? Is Taylor the odd man out?

Nah, they all get their own room per NHLPA legislation. I’m sure it’s even more enforced with COVID.

Collaros was rolling prior to Odell Willis’ cheap shot in 2018. I think we play for the cup should he stay healthy… Starting Brandon Bridge in a playoff game was hooooooo

ZC’s career would be over if he remained in Sask with this OLine… I’m happy for him.

I kept track, Evan Johnson gave up 6 pressures. Clark gave up 3, Ferland gave up 1. Evan Johnson got caved by Mike Rose. But what frustrates me more is Jason Shivers’ insistence on running zone D. It’s terrible. It’s soft. It’s so easy to get 7+ yard through the air on Shivers’ zone D.

Was that the 2009 squad?

As much as I am a Rider fan, I would hate my own fan base if I wasn’t a part of it, and I still hate it. I’m a CFL fan, and a football fan… no luck. Pure talent.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such a large gap between the best team in the league and the next best. No one looks like they’ll remotely compete with Winnipeg.

I was going to head up for the game but Yeesh. Seeing a game at McMahon isn’t a treat when it’s a win, let alone a loss.

This team… just isn’t that good.

He’s never had that clutch gene… back to back Grey Cups lost on his arm, doesn’t go down and win a lot of games.

Nice to see the D finally make some plays.

Great catch, too bad.

Man I hope it’s not his knee. That’s a career ender if it is.

I cannot believe I’m longing for the days of Steven MacAdoo.

No sir… had to work today, going to head to Calgary Oct. 23!

The good news is it’s not too early to start drinking.
