It'll be very interesting to look back on this trade and judge which team came out the winner..That will take time and anyone rushing to a decision will most likely end up with egg on their face...As things stand now, I believe each player has his own strengths...we'll see by the end of this season whose strengths shine the best...GO JETS

Digging a little deeper and my take is that this trade was affecting play....Laine played the first game and definitely was showcasing his talent....did a helluva job too, but his team mates had a good idea of what was going down...I noticed a definite uptick in all of the guys on the bench when Laine was suffering his 'so called' injury (not buying that one)... I think a lot of this behind the scenes stuff was affecting play.. Winning in Ottawa twice was a good thing and I think everyone is happy all round....Laine was being protected so he didn't get injured before the deal could be made...same for Dubois....and now that it's a done deal, I bet Laine is back on the ice for the Jackets pronto....Not too happy with the 3rd rounder for Roso ...thought we should have had a second BUT it is what is...I think it's a good trade for both clubs ... Dubois is certainly going to be happy going to a better club and if the money works out for a long term deal with him...we're laughing

Just face it ...Laine wanted out for some reason....and it's not like we're getting scraps for the guy

Dubois is no slouch....I think if we were getting someone for Patrik, Dubois works for me

IF the trade includes Roso....then we better get a high pic in return....Dubois for Laine...I don't have a problem with...kind of a saw off...BUT attitude by each player has to be considered...With Dad on the Moose....I think there'll be no problem in that respect...Maurice is a heckva lot better coach than Tort...can't stand that guy ...We shall see

My nose is hardly ever wrong...

I don't know guys.....Laine being out of the line-up (are they keeping him there because a trade is in the offing).....Same as Dubois...essentially being out of Columbus's lineup (going for an ice capade skate when on the ice for the Jackets,essentially)...hmmmmmm...I smell trade winds blowing and both sides are trying to keep their players who want out of their respective towns (apparently) under wraps....Could be I'm dreamin'.....and would hate to see Patrik go...BUT Dubois is one helluva player...I hope the heck we know what we are doing IF this is the case...Seems a stretch but ya just never know

I hope Patrik hasn't picked up that bloody virus....He did seem to be struggling a bit and going at half pace....so could be upper body...After the game he had on opening night this is a bummer

I believe Rasheed Baily has signed.......Kenny Lawler would be nice BUT with Rogers and Ellingson out there who knows

Besides these guys....and I agree these should be a priority.....who's left M.O.A.B.

Besides these guys....and I agree these should be a priority.....who's left M.O.A.B.

Patrik didn't play like he wants to leave.....(ahem)...Just like I said when we picked up Stastney ..the whole picture changed ...His play against a very tough team in Cal. said a lot last night..I think Laine will be around for quite awhile...GO JETS

Anyone remember Dereck Sanderson of the Bruins ...All the talent in the world but squandered it all and ended up sleeping on a park bench with a brown bag....Tragic...Some of the stories about him being in golf tournaments where he would buy the best set of golf clubs in the club house and then just give them to his caddy after the eighteenth ... Partnered up with Super Bowl winning qb. Joe Namath in a high end New York restaurant , then walked on it ... Kane should read how Sanderson's career ended and give his head a shake and grow up...You can go from penthouse to outhouse with the wrong lifestyle

Mark Liegghio....now this kid has a leg...Watched some of his field goal efforts from last year and he was putting them through the uprights from the fifty with ease...Ham. really wanted a shot at him at the draft but we picked their pocket...Could be the future here

Way to go Willie.....He gets it...the team and league are in survival mode....Bombers have a great core of players....Bodes well for us again this year IF everything goes well with the vaccinations and we get off the ground....Gotta believe it will

Guess Sayles doesn't like to be on a winner and winning Cups....Hard to figure BUT Kyle must have his reasons....Maybe Sayles was looking for a 3 yr. deal and we didn't want to go down that road

Guys are stepping up for a haircut....has to happen to make this season work (hopefully there is one)....Walters is working these contracts befitting of the time....One year contracts that can be renegotiated in a better time is the way to go....Everyone in the league is going to have to pull together and even then it's going to be touch and go...I expect Andrew to be next and I don't see a problem...He's the guy that makes this club go and you can never part with the heart...Go Kyle

IF my agent is cooking up crap to feed to the media.....there's the door buddy....It seems there's a large chasm between Laine and his agent...I believe a new agent will be employed soon by Patrik...it would be in his best interest

Streve had a rough outing yesterday...no doubt about that....It looks like he is more suited to OUR game than the hyped up league to the south....Chris may be given another shot and if not successful he most likely will be looking at coming back to the CFL ...We shall see

Using a race car analogy for 19' ...we had a Cadillac of a team that seemed to be purring along...ran into a few bumps in the road and added a Michael Schumaker (Collaros) to take the wheel when our other drivers couldn't go...We turned up the heat in the stretch and came away with the big prize....I felt all year we had a winner that could take it all...we just needed that one piece behind centre and it came along at just the right time...Like all others I was a tad skeptical when we brought in Zach BUT in the final game at IG against Cal. and Collaros chucked that beauty to Adams in the endzone with Darvin doing the tightrope and hauling in that pin point pass for six, I knew we had something special there...The rest just fell into place...We had a great bunch of guys in 19'...still have IF we can reup them....Hopefully we can retain most (would like them all) and still pull off a repeat....It's still going on strong with this club and not impossible to repeat....Kyle must really be burning the midnight oil trying to put that winner back together...With all of the restraints there exists now...it won't be easy but hope springs eternal

I beg to differ.....winning the Cup is a helluva lot better than finishing in the top rung...The whole point to any season is the culmination of it ending in a Grey Cup win....Ask any first place team that finished without the Cup and they'd say ..'yeah it's nice to finish first ...but winning the Cup is the main aim...everything else is anticlimactic '....So there's that AND your statement is incorrect

Has anyone got the 'spoof' of the Riders 'too many men Cup loss'... being portrayed as 'Hitler's last days in the bunker'...That was a gem and worthy of a re-post and good laugh

Exactly.....I hope he gets a chance in opportunities that present themselves...like in the last game...Failing that we have to find the dough and bring him back here (I know ho ho....would take a Mike Riley type contract and that ain't gonna happen)

Regarding the field goal.....the shank says different...He wouldn't have had to kick a 50 yarder IF Streve lines up behind two of those big o line guys and pummels the line....Murray may be a running qb. but not the type Chris is....He's already proven he can get a yard with that club....why not try it again...Piss poor coaching as far as I'm concerned and probably one of the reasons the Cards will be also rans

Cripes...Streve could have fallen into the end zone and stretched for the td....And besides he's already run a play where he picked them up a crucial first down...He just doesn't get enough of those chances when I feel he should...Just my take
