WE DID SOMETHING!!

Merry Christmas, Al and family! All the best from an hour up the road!

The guttoral yelling... I know some people see that as exciting.... It's not for me. You don't need to have the needle pinned to 11 all the time.

Keilbach was good, but I think people over-rate him based on fond memories of their youth. We tend to cling to these images of yesteryear (see: Iso/SpeedFlex) as being greater than they actually were. Keilbach was solid, but this memory of him being one of the greatest of all time.......I'm not sure that's accurate.

Curious to see if the bubble nationals will work or not. It's going to basically look like the Canada Cup event. Because there won't be any real playdowns, they'll just load it with the top CTRS points teams, which is totally fine in my books. All you really want is the best teams in attendance.

Alabamaberta is right.......******* lunatics out here. I live right in the heart of rural AB, where things are worst. People are going insane about something as simple as having to wear a mask, never mind the more serious restrictions. The screams about the charter of rights and freedoms is straight from the premier himself, who said he hates to "violate people's constitutionally held rights and freedoms..." Oi. Vey.

Still concerned about two teams bringing covid INTO the bubble, but glad they're keeping then quarantined longer anyhow. It's something...

2021 news: Bob Irving has confirmed he's coming back for one more year... Great news. There are few things in life I enjoy more than the CJOB pre game show with Bob, Ed and Doug...

We were the best team in the league until Nichols went down. Struggled with Strev, got much better with Collaros, who is Nichols 2.0

I love that someone is actually sour right now. By gar, it's good to be back into it......

on top of the fact that WE'RE THE ******* CHAMPS (!!!!!!) they also played in the absolute JOKE that is the East Div. Their record means next to nothing...

100% agreement...

my wife and I re-watch the entire run of How I Met Your Mother every single year. I grew up in the generation where The Simpson's is the greatest show of all time, but for me, HIMYM is maybe my favourite show ever, front to back, every episode.

it's more than I was expecting by that time, tbh. I didn't think we'd have enough for gen pop until maybe fall time. I'm honestly only really concerned about my mother in law, who has MS and requires round the clock care in a LTCH. She has basically no immune system and is super-high-risk. As long as she gets the vaccine ASAP, that's my only real concern...

I was like this with Breaking Bad. It took me (quite literally) YEARS to get through the entire run because it was REALLY tough to watch at times. I find Better Call Saul a bit better, but still too intense at times and I need to take a break.

all extremely relevant and concerning questions. Germans with 8 positive players.......so, of course, who does Canada play in Game 1 on the 26th.................?

with players/staff already testing positive, I'm very nervous for the host committee and their ability to pull this off without COVID issues...

I'm actually kind of surprised 'OB didn't try and go the progressive route and put Hextall on PBP (or Colour at the very least...) Makes sense to have Kelly host the coverage from the studio. Allows him to be involved without having to travel. It'll be a good broadcast, for the most part...

I was trying to remember that...I think they were only on 1290 (even before TSN) and then moved to that little community access station awhile back... don't think they were on OB, but I could be wrong.

Kelly is older now, has a family, and is in a sort-of "management" position with 'OB. He's not going out on the road for months of the year. That's a younger man's game. I'm curious how they arrived at Edmonds over Munzy for the gig. If Munzy turned it down, or maybe was never asked...?? Munz is the one with a lengthy hockey PBP background...Edmonds only had the Goldeyes before he started doing colour on the Jets radio-casts. Curious how this will work for them, anyhow....

IIRC, BFFC had a bit of a man crush on him.......

The Riders OL has largely been a pile of dogshit for years now... and they drafted so poorly, it's not getting better any time soon.

If Harris isn't ****** over by the Winnipeg chapter of the FRC, he's the League MOP running away....it's not even close.

Bloi-dei Dorzon was how I thought it was spelled but it's been a minute since his time in the league....

Christmas isn't til next Friday, so plenty of time for KW to get his OTs and RB under wraps for another season........
