Shocking!! Could definitely see Strowman winning it... I like how they've built him up since the brand split. Angle appearing would be awesome, winning the Rumble would be unbelievable.

Woah I totally disagree. I think Bray Wyatt is one of the best characters in WWE right now and I know I'm not alone in that.

I may have predicted Angle before they announced him for the Hall of Fame but now I don't think he will be wrestling in WWE again. Seems like the HoF induction is generally the end of the road. Correct me if I'm wrong on that but I can't recall anyone wrestling post-induction. Ric Flair maybe? My prediction for Rumble winner is the Undertaker because I don't think his body can take being tossed over the ropes!

Game 48 : Alexander @ The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Team
There are thousands of fans on the waiting list for season tickets. Attendance will not be an issue for a long, long time. And we have possibly the best ownership group in Canada. I also don't think Chipman will tolerate much more losing from Chevy. He doesn't need empty seats to take action. If we miss the playoffs this year and the next, Chevy is gone.

Game 7 : Dallas @ Armia's Army
20 goals? Is that the standard for a #1 goalie now? I'm not talking about releasing the guy but I just don't see him developing into a legitimate #1, ever. Remember, free agency and trades are an option for improving in goal. Chevy has made it seem like it has to be Pavelec or drafted prospects, but it doesn't have to be that way. There are other options. How many goalies have switched teams and found success since 2011? And we have stubbornly stuck with Pavelec and hoped for a 5th round pick to be the savior. I still have hope for Comrie but like you said, he's not ready yet so why not explore other options? Perhaps not now but in the off-season.

Smackdown was great last night! Loved the Nikki Bella vs Nattie segment. Seeing The Miz get involved in the WWE championship picture is... awesooooome! Last but not least it looks like Randy Orton is ready to consummate his plan to destroy the Wyatt Family from the inside. I expect fireworks at the Royal Rumble between the Wyatt Family. Speaking of the Rumble, it's been awhile since we've seen such a star-studded lineup. 18 entrants confirmed so far and they're all legit stars. Who will win? I honestly have no clue!

Game 7 : Dallas @ Armia's Army
Or the ability to use his glove. Or is there an excuse for that one too? Maybe a better goalie coach could work that out of him, maybe not. All I know is his glove-side is dreadful and all the shooters in the NHL seem to know it too. Of course, he was a fifth-round pick for a reason. Maybe everyone outside of Winnipeg just doesn't understand his greatness.

Yeah, I don't see any indications of the team being constrained by the budget. If Trouba had signed long-term as planned then we would be right up against it.

Do the Crosby thing and keep him out for the rest of the season.

The Video Game Thread
FF6 remains my favourite but at this point you have to accept those days are gone. I picked up FF13 and hated it with a passion. I didn't even really like 12. The last one I enjoyed was FFX, which I really, really liked. It's a different style of game now but if you accept that you're not going to be playing a game like FF6 or even like FF7 then it is an enjoyable play-through. It's more like a Skyrim/Fallout with a better story.

I beat Final Fantasy XV last night. Best one since FFX, IMO. Not sure if anyone else is into nerd-ing out that hard, but I really enjoyed it.

He signed an extension in Montreal already so I think it's fair to assume that they were talking before the trade occurred

Game 45 : The Howling @ Bark At The Moon
Pretty broad question. Consult Google. But the short answer is "Zero stanley cups and near-zero playoff success."

If not Nichols, who would you like to see as our QB in 2017?
Jennings single-handedly stole the West semi-final from the Bombers. He's not going anywhere. And Austin isn't giving up on Collaros yet. Toronto is still unsettled, I'd concede that, but I'd say 6 teams are nowhere near being in the market for a new QB. And did you really just drop theorycraft into your post?? I love it
-
Game 45 : The Howling @ Bark At The Moon
Keefe is the only one who could potentially be an upgrade on Maurice, but personally I think he's overrated simply because he's in Toronto... the Marlies coach is always touted by the media as the 'next big thing'. The rest make me barf in my mouth. I'd be more likely to look at a guy like Kevin Dineen (assistant in Chicago) or Gerard Gallant (unemployed, centre of controversy in Florida earlier this season).

Rogue One *SPOILERS*
I get the general idea but isn't there ~20 years between Episode 6 and Episode 7? Maybe Snoke gained the bulk of his power in that time, and he was too weak to have any real effect around the time of the original trilogy.

But only in Ottawa... he claims its OTT or retire. BC - Jennings EDM - Reilly CGY - BLM SSK - ??? WPG - ??? TOR - Willy/Ray MTL - Durant/Adams HAM - Collaros OTT - Burris/Harris So unless Nichols wants to go back to playing for Chris Jones, the guy who dumped him once already, I really don't see how he has any leverage whatsoever. Nichols and the Bombers will get a deal done.

Have to agree.... Durant will almost certainly be extending with the Als within a day or two

Checkstop program checking for silly infractions, sure I agree that is an abuse of their power. Photo radar as well. But what you're missing is that the issue here IS the specific infraction. Just like you don't want people to say "well, there's a law and he broke it", I don't want people to say "he got a ticket? Well, that's just a cash grab." It's situational. And in this situation, the ticket was warranted, whether you agree or not. The amount of snow shown in the photo is beyond acceptable levels.

Ah ok well if it's never happened to you then the issue must not exist.

I believe that Ray can still be an elite QB behind a good OL. The idea of Ray throwing to Dressler, Smith, and Darvin Adams intrigues me.
