The Switch looks interesting... at least it appears that for the most part it will be a decently powered console with a normal gamepad to play games on. The tablet , touch, motion controls crap from the Wii and Wii-U completely killed my interest and experiences with playing any of the games on them.

I thought they gutted 80% of the staff worldwide (not just in Canada)? It's also a shame that they rid themselves of all those staff .... yet kept Dana White.

I lived 2 - 3 years in Ottawa... what I found is that a lot of the city has people who are purely workaholics/business oriented and they tend to focus on work and keep to themselves. A lot of people I worked with had no kids and really were not really into going out and having fun. I remember how one radio station was trying to get a petition going to get concerts to stop by to Ottawa since they never get any of the big acts. It's amazing how much more concerts and other arts come to Winnipeg compared to Ottawa. When I lived there during the Sens cup run the town was really big into the team.... up until they lost. I went to the airport to see the team when they came back expecting that their would be festivities and a big group of fans gathering.... their was maybe 100 people if that. For hockey , it was mostly Leafs fans, followed by Habs fans from Gatineau and a small minority actually cared about the Sens. The arena is good and it's not that hard to access it, my guess is that people just don't give a crap because the city is full of fair weather fans and the older more rich folks are stuck up and just don't leave the house. Their only hope would be to be like the Redblacks and move somewhere centralized and where they can attract the younger university/college kids (the only people in town who like to have fun).

So what *if* they low ball and offer him a 2 year contract..... meanwhile Toronto/Montreal sees a young coach who progressed with a really good season and then offers him a 3- 4 year deal?

I have EA Access... so my NHL is always a year old....

Walters has been with the club for 6 years, I'm pretty sure they know what they are getting with him. O'Shea... I am not afraid of signing him long term since the team has been extremely disciplined and for the most part they always seem prepared and focused on playing football. I have no problem signing him long term. Now Hall and LaPo.... those guys I still am not sold on...

I still found it funny that they had a dozen qbs at training camp and the Micheal Sam and Ochocinco experiments over the last few years. It's almost as if he is/was trying to sabotage the club...

How many teams signed superstars off of other teams in the last five years? I encourage you to make a list and then post it on here. AFAIK most teams draft and/or make big trades to get elite talent. The Joe Mack comparison is ridiculous, the NHL isn't an 9 team league where a player has limited options on where he can go to and cannot be picky and choosy on if they want to live somewhere more desirable.

The TNA demise seems worse then the ECW downfall..

Lol how many other teams made huge splashs in free agency? You do realize that other teams also sign lots of fringe NHLers that also stink?

Should of been traded weeks ago. I see Carter in Toronto next season. We don't need the distraction. Stafford is meh to me and maybe he goes to Hamilton or Riderville.

They would call up Pavs and give Comrie all the starts he can handle with the Moose.

Comrie will see way more action, Pavs will sit around until a trade or injury call up. I can see a late season trade where a team isn't on the hook for all that money.

Good on the Riders for unloading dead salary. Get a few picks as a nice bonus. Edmonton should be fined. Going forward they should have certain players Mic'd up... the more vocal guys who are not the QB or HC. Someone like Westerman would be fun to listen to.

Hey if she influences all the women across the world to stay with their husband while they screw around hardcore for decades... I'm sure many men will be very happy with that!

He was face masked big time.... it was right in front of Harris also... I was surprised that they made no mention of it at all during all the replays they showed.

I do believe I was the first to state that H & L said that Pavs will be sent down to the Moose mid last week... so I will take your steak dinner please and thanks!

What H & L suggested was that if Comrie showed well that one idea would be to send Pavs down to the Moose because he's low risk for anyone claiming him and even if they did then that would be 5 million off the books that they can use elsewhere and that it would be easy to sign a veteran journeyman for injury insurance.

I think a lot of what makes it look like he's better is the fact that he would roll out and have several steamboats to go through his reads and find a target. I also noticed that he is much better at escaping when the pocket collapses... it wasn't like Willy when as soon as an arm touches him he would panic or go down.

Who cares if Harris fumbled or not... the BC player right in the camera shot that they kept showing over and over again was blatantly face masking and pulling the lead blockers head down. So many ticky tack calls and so many missed blatant obvious ones it was a poor game both ways.

BJ Penn should not be headlining any UFC cards regardless of how small they are...

Why would you cut Mayo? I'm sure one of the Rider guys will be hurt again before the end of the season.

Mike you must live close by to me then... If you want a silly school zone the little stretch on Panet/Molson near Munroe is ridiculous. I've never seen a kid cross on that Street.

So signing Gurley will help us with our lack of pass rush and our inability to stop BLM or Reilly? Hazelton was so good that he lost his starting job and then was cut?
