I would like this 1000 times if that was an option... seriously though, I've always thought Saskatoon would be a great market for another CFL team... problem is they're all Rider fans already...

maybe he figured if he avoid them long enough he could get the bonus... Greaves lined up at TE in some formations in Edmonton... but if memory serves me correctly, he was strictly a guard in Winnipeg...

What's that saying about how all stats are 100% accurate and tell the complete story?...

Bomber buzz is not John Hodge... his name is Eric Matthews... for those of us that grew up in the 90s, it's not this guy:

How do you know this job offer didn't just come in this week??

have to agree with most here that the least you can do is call the guy... even if it's the AGM, doesn't have to be Popp or Trestman...

The only thing that would've made this move perfect is if he had asked for a release, signed with the Riders, received a lofty signing bonus... then retired...

he tweeted something last night about having plenty left in the tank... I don't follow him but I think it was a re-tweet... It seemed to suggest this move was done...

Certainly unfortunate... but as @Jpan85 pointed out, we still have Denny and Stafford to go along with Dressler and Adams... I wish Mr Smith all the best

I'm starting to think that way too... luckily by time the draft rolls around, we'll have a pretty good idea of Gray's status... if he's a late round draft pick and gets a signing bonus, he won't be in the CFL for at least 3 years...

Or some people just have their financial priorities straight...

As an expect in these things... I can state, unequivocally that he is definitely more Canadian than Nik Lewis...

Kind of a cool website.... but just to twist this a little more, how do we know this site has their facts straight??

I would say very... he has prototypical tight end size and pass-catching ability... however, how is his blocking? That, I don't know about...

Right now, we have #1, #6 and #15... that's a legitimate shot at 3 high end players... I would rather have that then stockpile a bunch of 3rd and 4th round picks...

I see... I think Alzner would be a great signing... but I don't think it's realistic...

I don't get it... is it because there's no chance he'd sign in Winnipeg??...

punctuation would help... I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say here... Bombers will be bringing in Ekakitie for a private work out if they have interest?? OR he is not coming to Winnipeg for a private work out which suggests the Bombers are not interested at #1??

I'm a little surprised no one has mentioned the questionable Sidney Crosby slashes in consecutive games... here's my unsolicited thoughts on it... I thought the one against O'Reilly was pretty dirty and unnecessary... probably deserved a fine.... I was ok with the one against Methot.... It was a typical little hack that you see dozens of times a game... unfortunately the result was much worse though.... but really, I'd attribute it more to unlucky contact than anything dirty or malicious...

You're kind of in the same boat as my brother in law... he is not really a sports guy but has started watching and cheering for the jets since they came back... and I would be willing to bet he would not have known that rule either... that's kind of what I was thinking with my initial post...

If you think most of the Winnipeg crowd has a hot clue what's going on... you haven't been to Bomber game in a while...

I think they do... maybe not all of them, but I know I've watched in the concourse before... the funny thing though, it's about 2 seconds delayed... so you'll hear the fans start cheering then I look up and see a big play... so kinda takes some of the intrigue away...

You could be correct, I'm not saying you are wrong... I just disagree that it's "clear Hellebuyck is a bum"...

I disagree fully with your first statement.... but agree completely with your second statement... I think Hellebuyck has shown he has the skill but struggles with consistency... the more I think about it, the more I really, really, really would like a new coaching staff new year... If we can bring in a goalie to play 50-55 games and have Hellebuyck play the rest, hopefully with a new goalie coach, I think we may still have a future starter on our hands...

serious question (no offense intended)... are you new to watching hockey?.... a goalie getting a penalty and having the 2 mins served by a skater on the ice is one of the most basic rules that has existed for as long as I can remember... or maybe it's just something that's slipped under the radar for you... I guess it doesn't come up too often....
