sweep the leg

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.

They're not really related moves. They're fighting for different spots.

Tuenei just seems like a victim of very good competition. It's nice in a way that players who sound like they've been very good in camp have to be cut. I'm surprised about Brown as well. The team seems very high on both Johnson & Gibson. Hopefully they both come back...

I like that Brohm had at least one 1st down on each drive.

So you're finally ready to admit you were wrong about Hurl?

why do you get 2 points on a safety? Why 3 when you kick the ball through the uprights? Why 6 when you advance the ball into the endzone? Because it's in the rules that's why. You shouldn't get a point for missing a field goal, but yes a rule is a rule. It's not a point for missing a field goal, it a point for kicking a ball into the endzone and preventing the other team from returning it out of the endzone. A prize for mitigating your failure to kick the fg. I can buy the idea of the point being incentive to make a return, but they should take away the point for having the ball roll through the endzone. Why is there a point for kicking through the endzone on a punt or fg attempt, but not for a kickoff? Weird...

If that's all there is to this, this is a pretty uninspired story. A 3rd stringer wants a chance for more playing time? Scandalous...

Where did this come from?

It sounded like Rodney Lamar had himself a good game. As a mlb, he's probably fighting for a pr spot. I can't see us DI'ing a lb with so many good Canadians there, and I don't think he'll get the starting job over Hurl. I think we can probably pencil in Marshall as one of our two rbs on the 44. Anderson vs. Cotton will be interesting to watch for the rest of camp and the next preseason game. Cotton's ball security issues need to be fixed. Randle sounded terrible in the return game and did nothing running the ball. Couple that with being hurt for part of camp and he's probably behind those two guys now. Marve doesn't look pretty out there, but he still seems to be able to put points on the board. Brohm got us in scoring position three times, but needs to get it in the endzone. Based on last night I wouldn't change the qb depth chart. Pleasantly surprised last night wasn't a series of crushing sacks on our qbs. Sounded like our backups on the OL acquitted themselves pretty well.

Agreed. Good decision to leave the vets behind to allow these guys max opportunities to show what they've got.
