Last year the riders first rounder misses camp and obviously stunts his development. Fast forward one year and again the riders first rounder misses camp and is vying for a 1+1 year contract instead of 2+1. God I love Chris Jones.

oh my god PLEASE retire Dyakowski

I thought John Murphy was supposed to be the next great GM in waiting in the CFL. That's changed quickly with his body of work in Saskatchewan for sure.

Is every "entry level" contract in the CFL 3 years?

How do you figure? Hellebuyck has way out performed Comrie at the same points in their careers. Helle played on an equally sucky Moose team.

I thought cole was way better than green. I don't know what the coaches see in green tbh

I used to hate Lawless but he definitely won most people over. He grew into his job well. He was probably the most connected guy in the CFL and was definitely most connected to the Jets. Wonder who replaces him?

he's one year away from UFA. There's no guarantee he re-signs with us anyway. Besides, what would it cost? Our first + comrie+ one of connor/roslovic? It's not a deal we can afford to make. Sure would make us legit though!

Couldn't be happier for all the homers and talking heads of TSN/sportsnet to be shut up for the rest of the year. The leafs had a decent run but there's no guarantee they still 99% healthy like they did this year. They're an exciting young team but it's hard to like them with all the daily TSN bullcrap biased articles and constant leaf info shoved down our gullets. That said, go ottawa!

Was Jones any good? I thought he came in with high expectations.

A 35 point 3rd line center, Scott Darling and Iggy maybe gets the Flames out of the first round, not contender status.

Cox was their best defensive player. Big blow for them but who cares - they're screwed anyway.

It's nice being able to glance over and read other team's fans opinions of their team as well as how they value other players throughout the league. It's hard to try enjoy discussion with Rider fans because they live in an echo chamber with morons like Pederson pomppomping and don't have any other professional sports teams to cheer for so a lot of them have disillusions about their own team, but it is still very valuable resource. Hopefully they get it figured out soon. It would be nice if every team had an online presence, honestly.

Gurley should be on the horn any time now

When he was injured last year his injuries were not concussions, were they? Was hoping he'd be our dressler for the next 5 years.. oh wait, we have dressler!

I think Hellebuyck should be given one more season to solidify himself. Trouba sat 20(ish) games, Little out for over 2 months, Myers missing 70 games, 30 games in 62 nights. Jets were behind the 8 ball right off the hop. Not to mention Buff has had an off year and we've been playing and AHL d for 2 weeks now effecting everyone's performance. Helle hasn't done himself too many favours, but he's at .906 on the year with just a shitstorm of a team this year in his first year as a starter. Patience is wearing thin amongst the fanbase, but there is definitely reason to think that Helle could continue his progression.

Why the Comrie love? Hellebuyck has definitely outperformed Comrie in their junior and AHL careers. The only thing Comrie has on Helle is draft position but so what. That said, Chevy has to find a way to shore up the position next year. Hopefully we can sign a FA like Darling to take the load off and possibly steal the job.

Outshot 47-21 lol

That's just myopic. Not even his franchise record 175 minute home shut out streak? He started off the season with a 1.92 GAA and a .937 over 10 home games. Yes, that is somewhat cherry picked stats, but it shows that he's not chopped liver. Now I'm not proclaiming him some saviour, but he is actually following the development curve almost exactly. He needs a to be a part of a 1A, 1B until he can prove he can play night in, night out, but that is not his fault.

My bad.

.931 sv % isn't good enough? once again, this loss is NOT on Helle. Our 3rd line needs to finish, and our vets (wheeler, perreault, buff) have to step it up

You truly have no clue.

11/14 .786% for Pav. To me this has to spell the end of Maurice. Too many men penalties, Laine playing on the 4th line while continuously trotting out Stafford. Laine's turnover was a CENTER ice interception where Pav left in a total softy on. Oh and I'm really glad Lowry line was playing more than Little's. Give me a break, Mo. This is basic stuff. Heck, chances are Helle only gets next game cause Pav got injured. Julien is going to cost $3 million at least, but honestly do they even have a choice but to pay the man? I'm officially on the fire Mo bandwagon.

Wow, my prediction was wrong 7 hours before game time. A new record!

Prediction: 4-3 loss with a decent effort from Helle, but horrible performance from the team and a late 3rd period goal by us that doesn't really mean anything.
