Those are some interesting numbers right there... how can Edmonton be 6-1 vs. the east when the only team that has beaten them is Calgary? All three times they've played? Makes me wonder what other errors are in there.

Dad never cheered for any other teams. Kind of ridiculous to say that he bandwagoned. you really need to calm down and learn how to handle **** like this, man alive, you are so uptight and oblivious to the total lack of seriousness that goes on around here sometimes.

obviously these other teams are signing potential starters, the Bombers only signed guys who suck!11!!!!!

Calgary is just a really well coached team. They have the ability to perform no matter who goes into the game. They won a pile of games without Cornish already this year, no reason to think they can't beat Montreal without him.

I don't really agree with that, and would also like to add that longevity should factor in as well.

With the west being better than the east by such a factor this year it really does hammer home the fact that it's not how many games you win, it's which games you win. If the Riders hadn't swept the Bombers they would be in all sorts of **** this season with Durant on the IR right now, but they won those 3 games and as a result are in a good position where they don't need a whole lot more wins to actually make the playoffs.

You missed the point. Point is that the bandwagon was jumped on during the Oilers dynasty days.

The FB position became more of a tight end position, and it's used less because of the way defenses have adapted. You have plenty of slotbacks who are comparable in size or bigger than linebackes so you don't need a dedicated big body, you can just use your regular receivers.

yeah thank god the Canadian courts have an ability to use common sense.

Glencross is from Kindersley. Do I cheer for Calgary? No, I hate them. born in Kindersley maybe but he always said he was from Red Deer, plus he was an Oiler before he was a Flame so I don't know what that has to do with anything. Fact is there are a lot of gappers who love Eberle and the Oilers because of it. I understand when you say you're a penguins fan, tons of kids are because Crosby, but the Oilers have sucked for a long time it's puzzling when kids pick them up unless there's some other connection.

I like it. The Stamps will win this week, I guarantee it.

Ploen AINEC and I say that being too young to have watched him play, but you can not argue with the championships.

hey you provided the appropriate statements to post in relation to trolls, I'm just following your advice

I am sure we could care less what some joe sixpack rider fan thinks.

Please. Responded to trolls the way one has to. I'm the last person to bring up specific quotes that people here make over there. Get over yourself. Pretty lame to come on a bomber board and post this crap.

Ehlers could be a Patrick Kane kinda guy. There is nothing left for him to learn in Halifax. He's going to be a superstar in the NHL, better sooner than later ;-). I hope they all get a very good look. Because he looked good in a rookie tournament? Come on now. I don't disagree that Ehlers has a lot of potential, but to suggest there's nothing left to learn in the CHL is just crazy. Staying in juniors has never ruined a prospect. Especially one who is on the smaller side. Nothing wrong with letting him bulk up and work on some things against his peers. Eberle isn't the best comparable since I think Ehlers is a better skater, but Eberle was certainly not hurt by finishing his junior career even if he probably could have played in the NHL right away. No because of his body of work last year in Halifax And staying juniors too long can hamper development, that's a fact. I'd like to see him here if he can make the cut. Like I said every player is different. Size never hurt Kane, Giroux or St Louis and they haven't exactly bulked up have they? Name just one player who hampered their development staying in junior. Just one. I don't think the first half of Shiefles season was helped by staying in junior, he was light on his feet and thought he could play the junior game in a mans league. I'm not saying it's bad overall, I just think the players I mentioned aren't going to benefit much by staying there. So because Scheifelle had an adjustment period he stayed in junior too long? Come on now. Every player has that period. Scheifele is a great example of why you do well to leave your guys in jr. those extra couple years. There is not one case of a player being hurt by being left in jrs too long, but there are plenty of cases of guys not living up to their potential because they were rushed into the NHL too soon.

rightly so. You don't need 10 wins to make the playoffs, you need to win the right games. Being 1-5 against the west division thus far certainly doesn't get you into a playoff position. That doesn't make any sense considering that we're on track to miss the playoffs at 9-9. but if you actually beat the people you are competing with then they have less wins right? And you therefore need less to get in. They had a chance to keep both the Lions and Riders down at 6 wins, they didn't do that.

Lots of teams will take the guy, they just won't pay a high price to get him.

well you are missing a game in there since it hasn't been played yet but I find it highly unlikely that those three teams wind up tied. Did Winnipeg already play BC twice? Thought the upcoming was the second. yeah go figure you totally forget the game where the Bombers kicked the Lions up and down the field. You expect me to memorize every game of the season? Just a mistake. why not? it's a small league, amd if you are going to go into head to heads you should get the facts. You can find every result on the cfl website.

We saw it a bunch here with the guy, when he's feeling good in the pocket he is hard to beat. You have one job when you're playing Kevin Glenn, smack him in the mouth early and chances are he'll give you the game.

Hank is too much ego that's the problem there. Guarantee that part of the reason he signed in Ottawa was because he saw himself as the saviour who would lead this expansion team to glory and hey, gettin paid. at the same time. Guy is just an egomaniac.
