sweep the leg

I'd make that trade for Hanifin.

I thought GIbson got the most pressure of anybody on our dl against Hamilton. He looks really fast to me. He took a couple of penalties, but that can (hopefully) be fixed.

That's what he said last year as well...so in his mind he doesn't think that Marve has progressed. It makes me think they will never think he has progressed whether he has or not. They probably hate him and it's become personal.

Watch out for Tyler Pitlick.

Drew Tate

Do you mean b/c he's white?

Not a chance the Riders are letting that guy get away. Even if they handle their PR a little differently the message is the same, "hands off". If that were true they wouldn't have cut him.

Welcome to the forum. Now I'm going to pick apart your trade offer... Carolina would have to give us the 5th overall just to take Semin & Ward for nothing in return, never mind three players with actual value. Their cap numbers are ugly, they're both over 30, and neither one is very good anymore.

Injury??... I was actually just thinking the other day... do the Bombers dress Thomas, Westerman and Brown on game days?... will there be any import back ups on the DL? I'll be really surprised if we don't use a di spot on a de. I'm guessing we use our di's for rb, de, db, & a returner.

Ten Canadians in the starting lineup tomorrow. Be interesting which ones keep those jobs for the following week.

Great value for him imo.

Great size and passable skating. He also has decent hands for a 4th liner enforcer. Probably a top 3 fighter in the league. Takes way too many bad penalties though and doesn't seem to have much for hockey sense. Overall, I'm happy with this signing. He'll probably be in the press box for most of the season anyways.

LOL - a poll conducted this far out before the election and before the summer months even really start is completely meaningless. The NDP have stirred up some discontent with a lot of fear-mongering over Bill C-51 but almost everyone will have forgotten about it after a few days at the beach. Here in BC the NDP were leading in the polls big time well into the election, and it was only when people started to realize that the NDP might win, and all of the crap that would bring with it, did everyone wake up and start going another direction. I don't see that being much different on a federal level. The bill itself is nothing but fear-mongering. Federal servers were attacked today by Anonymous over Bill C51. I blame Harper. On the plus side, I have sfa to do until it's fixed.

So....are you guys saying you don't have tickets for sale?

JFG? What do we consider experienced? If he had to be a starter before we got him then it's probably Morley.

Fanboy nonsense... Toews needs to pick up his offensive game if he's ever going to win an MVP.

Fleury? Bobby Clarke. Three MVPs, 1,200+ points

Lawless said yesterday that Jabar Westerman is on the trade block again. Apparently he got himself in more trouble.

I had no idea they were the same person. I remember him from Stampede Wrestling.

Eight beers in 1 hr 40 mins is a pretty solid feat. It's harder than it sounds.

OMG, is that geezer Strike Force?

That's funny... cuz I asked Bauming about him and Gibson on twitter and Bauming said neither were back at practice... I guess he wasn't paying too much attention... then again, I guess they could both be right... maybe Johnson is back in town but didn't practice today... O'Shea said he was practicing. I thought it was Penton who asked when Johnson would be back, but given what you're saying, it might have been Bauming. O'Shea laughed at him and said he must have been asleep during practice.

Just finished watching O'Shea's interview. He said Johnson was back at practice today.

Penton just said that Brown has chronic calf problems, which probably led to his release.
