I really do believe that O'Shea can keep these guys focussed, I hope I'm right. Keep the foot on the gas pedal and put the newbies in their place.

How do the redblacks propose to stop an all city fullback?

yeah no kidding, likely ends up one of the top backs again this week and no one can take him.

What? won't be back home I am guessing

I think people have a skewed perception of what actually constitutes a top 6 player... everyone looks at the deep teams and wants that but most teams don't have those kinds of players in their top 6. There's a lot of ordinary players play top 6 roles.

and the explanation is ******* ********. CFL has too much turnover yearly to bother including anything outside of what happens this season.

Sure, they can play a top six role for us if we decide to run a McDavid campaign.all three are legit top 6 players on most teams in the leagueRibiero is an idiot, who will be trending downward soon if not already, and Legwand... You might want to omit him from your statement. **** that Legwand has been underrated his entire career, he's a good player. Not a star but he's a damned good 2C option.

Edmonton is unattractive for one simple reason: all the losing they've done. Once they start winning players should be flocking there for one simple reason... Alberta has the best tax rate of any region with an NHL team. Players in Alberta keep more money in their pocket than anywhere else.

the five guys burgers I really like, and the fact that you actually get a crap load of fries is fantastic. Nothing pisses me off more as a larger fellow than getting a dinky little cup of fries and expecting to be satisfied by that.

apparently he was even offered more money by some other teams according to rumours. That was a neccessary evil for the Oilers though. They desperately needed actual NHL players for their middle 6 and it costs you to get them in FA.

'MURICA!

The concern for the Jets is that a lot of the competition in the west made moves to improve themselves. Not that I think they would be wise to make a big splash or sign people just for the sake of signing them, but the west didn't get any easier to play in after today and the Jets aren't the only team there that can count on improvement from their young players in order to get better.

FA price vs. RFA price. Just wait what is it one more year? and Toews and Kane will be making way more than Statsny. Salaries go up all the time, that's why teams will try and lock people up to long term deals if they feel they're worth it. Overpay in the short term hoping it works out in the long term.

yes I had that thought watching that game.

Chiasson is better than a spare part. Gotta remember too that Spezza has only one year left on his deal.

Honestly the big name FAs seldom wind up being worth the money you spend on them. The best guys to target in FA are the under rated guys you can get on a decent contract.

Hamilton gets absolutely embarassed, like they were so bad I was having 2013 Bomber flashbacks and they get ranked ahead of Winnipeg who dominated their opponent from start to finish? Come on now. I get that power rankings don't mean anything but if you can be one of the most impressive teams in week one and still get ranked behind teams that get hammered then it's not even worth looking at.

The key to beating Ottawa will be simple, when you get a shot at Burris don't miss. The old bugger is pretty elusive but if you tackle well he'll go down just like anyone else.

Insert sound of sideshow bob stepping on a rake.. Do you know there are some top 10 Simpsons episodes lists that don't include "Cape Feare"? That is a crime. Simply a crime. The problem with a top 10 list for simpsons episodes is that there's so many great ones... but yeah Cape Feare should be on any list.

I think it's pretty clear that Wally the coach was more valuable than just Wally the GM.

hearing a lot of excuses from the self proclaimed best fans in the league...

Hamilton might have a chance against Edmonton, and what if Ray comes back and does his 80% completion thing against the riders? I'd favour the Riders but Ray is Ray and he might just decide to win that one if the riders come in fat and sassy after stomping the tabbies. And let us never forget that the Bombers might Bomber up their game too.

We were wondering out loud if he is too concerned with getting himself into the NFL that he's kind of lost interest in the Als and is just half assing it. Might be time for the Als to shake things up at any rate.

Yeah I am a bandwagon jumper, let's go with Allen as well.
