Eakins took the guy who should have been rookie of the year (tied for most points by a rookie and most goals by a rookie) and crushed his confidence to the point he was afraid to do what made him the player he was. Yak is a guy who needs that confidence to succeed and Eakins ruined him. I don't know if he can bounce back or not but at a key point in his career he got a coach that was 100% wrong for him.

The worst part is that the scouts wanted to draft a D that year and the owner over ruled them saying they had to take Yakupov

Go go Riders. Win those meaningless games and play spoiler.

Yak is a good kid. **** Dallas Eakins for destroying him

Did he say there was no force on this earth that could get him into that movie?

You know what, **** it, if I'm going out I'm going out with a Bomber. Andrew Harris.

hey if they're putting him in on a days practise he's not going to know the playbook, it'll be dumbed down for him and he won't have to think that hard.

if you're getting a guy in on short notice he's not going to have to know the whole play book, they'll let him do simple things, such as be the tall guy running deep winning one on one matchups.

how hard does it have to be for Gurley? Just say "you're tall, go run down the sidelines and we'll put the ball up for you to go win."

I dunno how good Laine is at the rest of the game, but when the play was in the offensive zone you always noticed him, especially on the PP. Guy just understands how to make offense work and he's going to put up a lot of points in his career just because of it. McDavid is just stupid, not only is he the fastest guy on the ice but he doesn't look like he's working hard to be the fastest guy on the ice either. Honestly the lineup the Jets sent deserved to get beaten badly and they were. Oilers had a much better group on the ice for the home fans.

not only tall but at 230 he's a big boy. should be helpful with all the smurfs we have already

I said that while I was watching the Edmonton game! The guy should know that if he is wearing a streaking beard it's gotta go when the streak ends.

I made a post on reddit about Jurassic world 2 and I hope to god the studio just trolls everyone and makes the entire thing a legal drama dealing with all the law suits resulting from the events of Jurassic World and they never once show a dinosaur or have any action sequences. That would just make me the happiest because we don't need another dinosaurs eat everyone at a park movie.

That and stop killing the game with too many penalties and replays. But you're absolutely right. Tickets are getting too expensive. It's like 35 bucks to sit in the crappiest seats in McMahon and I'm not saying 35 bucks is a ton of money but it's getting out of that affordable family fun range. CFL has always been about accessibility and the pricing is getting away from that.

serves me right for picking a Bomber last week, I'll think about the matchups and make a pick later.

I finished watching it yesterday and I enjoyed it but it fell off in the last couple of episodes I thought. Won't spoil anything but just lost some of it's appeal based on where they went with the story in my opinion. Still liked it more than Daredevil, but again the 2nd season of that started out really well and fell off after the punisher stuff became a secondary focus. Jessica Jones probably still my favourite one they did on Netflix and that's probably purely based on the villain.

Guess Lapo will have to call a vanilla game plan so no one steals his play book.... oh wait a minute....

O'Shea and Nichols defending the guys they got is no shocker, the fact that O'Shea didn't come out and say "pass" is encouraging. He'll line up whoever Walters brings in for him. Only question is whether or not Kyle Walters thinks they need to add a receiver or not.

if we're going to go two and out anyway might as well pound the crap out of a defense. But Lapo's gonna Lapo

why can't we find bit receivers with good hands like Manny Arceneaux or SJ Green etc etc etc? Why do we have to choose? Kyle Walters needs to get his ass in gear and find some guys who can play from the states because right now the smurf brigade isn't cutting it. Can't have them all be midgets and expect it to work. Was comical to see Smith trying to go deep on Watkins, Watkins just has to be close and it's impossible to complete a deep ball to Smith because of the size mismatch.

we don't use one running back enough to justify putting a 2nd one on the roster. Sad but true. Our receivers are hurting and a bunch of smurfs and we still try and win with a heavy passing game. Should just let the big old boys on the OL tee off and run the crap out of the ball.

The reffing was absolute garbage and it was garbage both ways and both coaches did the complete bullshit throw the flag for something just hoping there's an issue. That needs to be fixed by the CFL pretty damned quick cause it's a joke when something that happens completely away from a play can be reviewed and take the play off the board. Over reaction to one missed call in a playoff game and now we have to deal with horrible reviews because of it. I dunno who this ref was but I was less impressed with his crew this game than I was with the Bombers and that should say something. I ain't saying the Bombers lost because of the reffing, the Bombers were full marks for losing this game but it's hard to watch them lose AND watch the refs run around the field with their heads up their asses.

Alarm bells were ringing when Darian Durant and the hapless Riders started shredding them but they still got enough errors from the Riders and Argos to win the games, but we saw these last two weeks what happens when teams don't make those mistakes. That's the game plan for Winnipeg now, just don't **** around and cough up the ball and they won't beat you.

Yeah I am as big a Wild fanboi as there is and he was awful last night. Just awful.
