Say it ain't so said no one ever who is paying attention.

He got the job done, it was the D failed to get the job done in the playoffs.
The excuse train is rolling.

Yup especially your last sentence and in his spare time he saves dogs. Add an award for that BO gets himself a trifecta.

DB clamps down = limited fanfare but very high production. 

 
 

I'd have taken Judge over Awe.

Blew a tire and popped a nut.
You should have access to the TSN broadcasting crews headsets in what to say.
 
Rod: What just happened there Duane?
Duane: Well it seems he blew a tire and popped his nut. That will take him out minimum three plays for sure. Back to you Rod.
I think we’d all agree this would help immensely spruce up the professionalism and accuracy of what’s really going on at field level.

Or my all time favourite, ‘declined, turd down’.

I think hockey fights these days are way too staged and contrived but Ehlers scrapping, as Howie Meeker would have said, now that's hockey.
Also my yearly rant that many hockey experts will disregard with a chuckle and eye role, but why not employ an aggressive PK box, ie pressure the puck handler.
There's risks I know but no harm in shaking it up a bit and trying cuz our pk right now aint doing it.

And no turd downs.

well...ZC is healthy this yr...so there is that factor....he also looks pretty dialed in and pumped too....as long as he plays within himself and doesn't force it...I like our odds
 

The longer they hang around, the more dangerous they will become, similar to how the Argo EF game went.
Again, treat this like a business trip, quickly sap any confidence they may have in winning this game by quickly dictating the tone in all three phases, do not take the foot off the gas until final whistle. Then enjoy the celebration.

I think there is some positional factors that come into play.  I don't think we will ever see Proulx as a line judge.  He was the Backup Referee in the Montreal-Toronto game.
The ratings are based on how they performed throughout the year, and it looks like Kroeker made less mistakes.  Perhaps Vallesi was better as well, or maybe Proulx declined the job for some other reasons.
Kroeker is from Saskatoon, so if there was going to be bias on his part, it wouldn't be for Winnipeg.  That being said, both are professionals and call a good game no matter who is playing.

Just treat the game as a business trip then celebrate after.

I really like Kroeker. Comes across to me as even keeled, no nonsense, personable type guy.

Agreed, I think Andre Proulx is the best in the league, but Kroeker isn't a a terrible second option.

There won't be any 'olding this Grey Cup! 

Instantly thought of...

I'm reminded of Speedy B in the 2019 cup when he blew a tire and popped a nut. ..His "No Mas" moment.
Mayba the faj will go with a "No Maas" too?
