About two posts up, as I'm reading, I think to myself "good... **** those guys... I hope they get Vegas vs Florida or some **** that nobody in Canada gives two fucks about..."
The Wilder thing is all bullshit but I'm not going to piss and moan about it. Instead I hope he absolutely tanks and doesn't live up to his contract in any way.
I live that Winnipeg had the smaller sized arena. Create demand. That's the best model for now. Their cash flow isn't harmed that much by it, and players would rather play for a full, smaller crowd than a half full smaller crowd....
I'd give him more overall (or up front??) money if there was some kinda guarantee that he's gonna stick around awhile. Like, exchange up front cash for term? Something like that...
I don't think "it's too bad", necessarily.....there's more to hockey than scoring. I love a good defensive play and great goaltending. Scoring is fun, but now they really gotta earn it. I'm a HUGE fan of Wayne Gretzky, but let's be honest, some of those goals he scored back then......that was awful goaltending.
not sure what it is about these two teams, but (arguably) the two best goaltenders in the league this year have looked like ass in every one of the meetings so far. Their numbers are atrocious on the season, head to head...
Just doubling back on this. Finally had a chance to listen to the whole thing this afternoon and again it was really well done. Some great comments from MOS, Lapo, Buck and DB97, I thought. Bob talking CFL with people is something I will always love listening to. You get so many CFL voices that legitimately believe they're celebrities (not just Rod P... There are a few...) and when Chandler Fenner tells Bob it's an honour to talk to him because he s a living legend, Bob is legit embarrassed and doesn't even wanna further that idea. We are so blessed to have Knucks, I'll tell you what...
For sure, and sometimes a team needs a change just for the sake of change....no question about it. But it'd be tough to justify that whoever you hire after Q would be as good...
I remember Friedman talking, not that long ago, about how people were calling for a coaching change in Chicago and he said it was one of the most insane things, because if for some reason they were to let him go, he'd be unemployed for about 5 seconds. Said basically every team in the league, save for maybe Toronto, would want him...
My most recent post, what I mean, moreso, is: The Trinity aren't normally ones to go to the ends of the world for someone. Note Walters panted "Take it or leave it" offers......that's generally what they're about. I'm not saying Muamba isn't good...I'm saying "I'm surprised to see the current Bombers regime participating in a circus..."
2018 Edm, likely Calgary the year after..... Going west 3 years in a row doesn't make sense. But who in the east wants it? Ham and Montreal don't... Toronto and Ottawa just had it...
Ah man.... Urban Bowman was the guy who rode his bike to the stadium all the time right? He was like 100 15 years ago... Cripes. Guy bled Blue and Gold, tho... Much respect.
