Record is still intact as it was the latest game 7 winner ever. Tonight's goal also wasn't the latest gwg ever scored in the playoffs either. Kadri scored with 0.1 seconds left against the Blues in 2019 & Jussi Jokinen scored with .2 seconds left in 2009 against New Jersey.

Just because he was released doesn't mean he was at rookie camp. He missed most of last year so maybe he wasn't going to be ready for main camp so cut him now and use that roster spot elsewhere.

Yep, only 24 (iirc) and local - no risk & worth taking a look at for the L's.

And just like that, Rosery is released by Edmonton.

There's no guarantees with any player, neg list or not. The neg list is a mix bag (just like anything else, whether it's draft or free agency), some guys live up to expectations, some don't and some we never see come north. We may think highly of them but not all players have the same potential/ceiling. A first round draft pick is not viewed the same way a 5th rounder would be even the club thinks high enough of both to select them, but they are not viewed the same. IMO, neg list guys are usually players that teams feel like they could be very successful IF they ever came to the CFL. As for why we didn't sign him as an import? Who says we didn't try? He may have been given advice that getting his global status would be better for him, given that, as far as global players go, he'd be at the top end of talent so his chances of making a team would be greater.

So Strevy looks healthy but Schoen & Lawson have been moved to the injured veterans list - I hope we're not in for another season of way too much JT on the field. Chris Streveler ready to start for Winnipeg Blue Bombers if called upon - 3DownNation

The fact that we had him on our neg list before it was discovered he qualified for Global status, shows that they thought highly of him as an import so yeah he could very well beat out other players.

Also the fact that no penalty was mentioned in the policy. Want players to take it seriously? Let them know the consequences for not following the rules. He's clearly too strong for his own good now - so gassed up during GC that he nearly ripped his finger off trying to throw the ball.

Yeah, it came up as an unknown number so he ignored it (as most people would). The fact that they weren't using multiple contact points is bush league. Call MOS or Walters and say we're trying to get a hold of ZC - guarantee he answers that call.

One game suspension for ZC. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/2025/05/07/collaros-takes-off-field-hit

Edmonton Elks release Canadian OL Tomas Jack-Kurdyla, sign 10 others - 3DownNation 1st round pick from 2020 - spent most of last season on the IR and only played 4 games so I wonder if this move was injury related?

Its happened 7 times. Boston in 2023 & Tampa in 2019 are the latest examples.

No almost for the Kings, they are out

5 reps would be 5 more than they'd ever see in an actual game (ZC excluded) so they might be happy with that!

He was on the list of neg list names that got revealed in December.

Maybe, maybe not. Municipal politics is much different than federal politics and doesn't pay nearly as well so she may not be interested in that sort of thing.

Finally the Leafs are good for something!

He already did! Walters was 2 steps ahead of everyone and let Charbonneau go because he knew Shay would fall to us. 🤣

How about Ferguson? He didn't even have Veresuk listed anywhere on his list of 72 players and he goes 2nd overall.

Alford goes 1st overall which means Hodge & Ferguson are both 0-1 in their mock drafts. PSA: it is not advisable to take a shot every time they have guessed wrong. 🤣

They took DL Kemari Munier-Bailey in the first and punter James Evans in the second.

The CFL has moved the draft up a couple hours tomorrow due to the Leafs game. Starts at 5pm CST now. Newest draft rankings are out as well. https://www.cfl.ca/2025/04/28/elic-ayomanor-vaults-to-top-spot-in-spring-edition-of-cfl-scouting-bureau/

He apparently has moved on from football based on an IG post he made but it's odd they wouldn't have just moved him to the retired list. His post said: “You shaped the boy and tested the man. Thanks for a lifetime in moments.”
