Hmm yes true. How do they handle basketball and football in the States? Same issue?

CHL should be disbanded altogether. Let them play high school/college hockey like every other sport. I've never liked how they run this league. Kids getting drafted at 14/15 years old... it's just wrong.

Would never make it past the players association

Maurice's time working with TSN has made him a smooth-talker and he knows how to woo the media. Unfortunately just not a very good coach.

Yeah I knew what you meant but the end result was just so lopsided I had to say it. Certainly if you asked anyone here if we could go to free agency and essentially buy a first-round pick, we'd do it in a second..

Nine-time CFL all-star OL traded for WR Nathan Hoffart who never did a damn thing in the CFL. Fantastic result for the Riders - says Rod Pedersen.

Lol. Scott Flory. Rider fans just loooove him.

What a mess in Montreal. Young, talented, possibly ratio breaking tackle and they can't afford to bring him in.

Armia is terrible, he's the worst player on the team

COME ON

Wow that's a pretty bold claim for a guy who really hasn't played that much

If you go through the process of doing a mock expansion draft, it's interesting to see that there will likely be a surplus of defencemen to choose from... good forwards will be much harder to come by. Vegas will have their pick of some good D, but their top six forwards will be a nightmare (although free agency may offer them some good choices).

4 free wins, what's wrong with that?

Ride your bike to the game

My main gripe is that there is very little time for practice and evaluation between the two games.

He's scheduled back in 6-8 weeks. Career-threatening is "Not sure your brain can survive another hit, not sure you'll ever skate again, etc."

They have a really hard time putting together a pre-season schedule that makes any sense. Our games are 5 days apart. EDM plays 4 days apart. Pointless. 3 Thursday night home games in a row in summer. Count on sub-25000 crowds for those. Lame. 3 Friday night home games which is nice. Week 13 bye is okay. Not a huge fan of week 1 bye... in the 3 seasons since OTT joined, we've now had to deal with the week 20 bye and the week 1 bye. 9 teams and we get the bullshit all the time. I hope the CFL realizes we're keeping track. SSK - CGY - TOR - BC - MTL to start the season. That's not so bad.

It only applies to "career threatening" injuries, which this never was... so really it never applied here.

It's not a joke Sweep this is serious shit Ah ha, yes then I was correct

Is Helle playing?

Pretty clear from this thread that the only people who really don't like the OT rules are the same ones who don't actually watch NFL. Probably would also argue that CFL players are just as good as NFL players... the game's just "different". Here you go MO... everyone wins:

I love Saturday afternoon games! Hoping for no Thursday nighters.

Unfortunately I agree... but money talks, and we got the money!

When people argue "But the other team didn't get a chance!!!!!!!!", all I read is "I got too many participation ribbons growing up!"

One of the most ridiculous articles I've ever read. Who is this guy? He clearly has NO CLUE what's going on. I think he needs to get out of the house more often.
