Goalie

They also finally played a good team. Montreal is good. They beat 2 very good teams in Tampa and Buffalo. Carolina has had the easy route with Ottawa and Philly. Both Tampa and buffalo over 100 points. Over 200 combined. Ottawa Philly were ranked 8 and 7 pretty much. Combined 180 ish points. Montreal has had the harder route. They have faced adversity. Carolina has not.

Elgersma looked legit. Can make all the throws and easily. Wilson? Not so much. Probably saw the new kid come in and throw 40 yard darts downfield and said yeah I’m out of here. Oh well. lol at MBT or any other veteran cfl backup. Why would they do that. Why does the QB need cfl experience cuz the QBs out there are not potential starters. Why bring in guys you know who will never start. If Zach gets banged up it’s TE or BP time. Crazy thought. Maybe just maybe TE and or BP can be starters in the league. Worst case they are crappy cfl backups who just are backups their whole career or maybe they can be franchise QBs. Cuz CFL desperately needs new blood at the QB position, recycling never was and never will be’s is just crazy talk.

Apparently the G force he experienced caused his sinus issue to get worse. They won’t release autopsy results so it’s something they don’t want ppl to know.

That right there. Totally forgot last years O was a total crap show. It’s almost like you gotta go back 2 seasons to really remember. I think anything that happened last year is maybe irrelevant. Speaking of which I never noticed the former OC the other day. Saw the RBs but didn’t notice him.

San Jose isn’t taking another forward when they need D and currently they pick 2. I’m not even convinced the leafs take either winger over a potential Schaefer like D. PS. Game 1 ECF. Montreal 6. Carolina 2. Rest is bad.

To be fair, no way should team Canada be winning 6 5 in OT against Norway so lack of Scheifele at the Olympics not the only issue with hockey Canada

Except 650k isn’t terrible for sports. I mean in the USA it’s really just the nfl games that draw millions of viewers. The other leagues don’t. 650 is more than the nhl mls and other leagues whether you accept it or not.

Shocking. Unvaccinated Americans dying from flus. Shocking I tells you.

Clercius. Something happened there. While I don’t think he’s a starter, Cobb and Corcoran aren’t either but guess there was some truth to the rumours about Clercius and Zach getting into it a bit last year. If that’s the case they should trade Keven’s for a pick b4 releasing him.

Nobody has said that but reality with Zach is he’s just about cooked so better hope Elgersma can play cuz the other 2 can’t. Why you so anti Elgersma. What did he do to you or your son? Honestly. I don’t know why ppl find it hard to believe the dude who looked good in nfl pre season could possibly look good here also. Reality is if it was a true open competition, talks would need to take place cuz Zach hasn’t looked good. Ppl talk about practice is different. Sure but if you can’t do it in practice how can you in game. Reality with Zach is his best years are likely behind him. Is Zach gonna all of a sudden not be terrible at accuracy and putting the ball where his receiver can get it, will he hit dudes in stride? No. They wait for his throws and have for 2 years.

The way I see it. Zach and Elgersma are locks. I’m not sure why ppl Find it hard to believe Elgersma throws a better ball than the other guys but he does, limited yes but he looks like the guy most ready to take over if Zach got hurt. Zach looks like his arm is a bit shot, he really is throwing his whole body into the long throws, it’s gonna lead to some bad picks and some Zach getting wooped moments I’m sure so backups better be ready. Terry to me has shown nothing to very little in his time here, the reality is he should look head and shoulders better than all of Perkins Elgersma and Thorne because he’s the only one with any cfl experience but limited viewing, he can’t throw a ball 15 yards. Really struggled with 2 maybe 4 throws i saw him make. Elgersma was hitting dudes in stride, Zach was, well they were open but the ball took a while to get there once or twice, believe 22 made a nice pick on 1 but if ball was on a rope, it’s a TD. I guess, guys get open but have to wait for the ball with Zach, it takes a minute to get there, Elgersma was hitting dudes in stride 35 40 yards down field, Zach was kinda all over the place accuracy wise. Perkins looked like the best of himself Thorne and Wilson. Could see a world where Terry is cut and Thorne is PR’d. Zach Perkins Elgersma. Perkins the short yardage guy tho. But again that’s 30 minutes prob more but less than an hour for sure of viewing lol.

Some talk Jets and Sharks talking pick plus players swap. We need forwards. San Jose needs a solid D man. Could see 2 plus Forward for 8 plus Samberg or Pionk honestly. Then we take Stenberg. If staying at 8 id hope Viggo Bjork falls because of his size and I’d run to the podium to take him. Did not look out of place at all against Scheifele Celebrini and the stars at the Worlds. Could be Helle straight up for 2 plus Askarov even. Who knows. Might have asked for a trade. Unknown.

Interesting story. Arland Bruce III https://www.tsn.ca/cfl/article/arbitrator-awards-former-cfl-player-bruce-25000-in-damages/

Knights fans are pretty loyal. They draw pretty solid local crowds actually but yup **** organization that just don’t give a crap about anything but winning. And don’t care how they do it. Honestly Chevy could take a hint at times but Winnipeg is not the premier destination like Vegas is.

lol. Tanner Schmekel goes down and DL depth is now a problem. lol honestly. If it’s a problem we prob shouldn’t be starting Canadians on the DL then. Cuz we don’t really need 2.

Nah. Oh wait Pittsburgh just signed a 42 year old to be their QB again. It’s not just a CFL problem. I stopped by the stadium yesterday for about half an hour and decided to watch a bit of practice. Zach really puts his whole body into the long throws, Elgersma barely puts an effort at all. From my extremely limited viewing if I didn’t know who was starting, 13 looks better than 8 by far. I’d say if Zach got hurt we probably wouldn’t miss a beat and might actually be better. Limited viewing but just the motion difference in the long throws is night and day. All body Zach vs all arm Elgersma. I spoke to a dude who said he’s been a few times and he seems to think Elgersma has been the “best QB”. Just seems to be able to make all the throws with very little effort it seems. I’m cutting Terry right now as he truly can’t throw a ball 10 yards.

Yeah. That Daniels pick is definitely interesting in more ways than one now. Did they overpay. Would he have been there if they didn’t trade up. Who knows, dude seems more like a bring it on game day guy not practice guy tho so maybe when he blows a dude or 2 up in a game , the opinion changes.

Just throwing it out there. 2026 minus 1993 = 33 aka Patrick Roy’s Jersey number. Montreal wins the cup. And against the former Nordiques of Colorado

Let’s go Habs. End the curse. They last won it in 1993 and only they can break the curse. They will beat Carolina guaranteed as Carolina has been off for way 2 long. Colorado Montreal final. Book it. Montreal wins. Guaranteed. They have faced a ton of adversity. 2 game 7s. Carolina has 2 sweeps. Montreal will beat them. Honestly Montreal. How can’t you cheer for them. Bunch of young guys who are having fun and a goalie who don’t take no **** from other teams players plus the best in arena environment in hockey by far and I’m a Jets fan but Montreal has a way more electric atmosphere all game. It’s not close.

Yeah. I don’t think so. I think he’s washed. Dude played in the nfl for a while, 32 years old now, I dunno. Seems like injury related tho. I’m not sure if it’s washed or injured. Was 6 gamed last year so to be an early cut likely suggests he’s not healthy. 32 and prob has a few bucks saved up means the motivation likely wasn’t there anymore. If not for the local team then likely not for anyone else either. I’d rather the rifles kid get a shot.

I’ve watched it on the nfl network we get for free here. Apparently they draw good tv numbers. Not cfl numbers but more than nhl mls pWHL and some other leagues they say. On average. It’s about 650k ish, not bad. But not overly good but with tv and streaming loving live events and sports, they prob stick around longer than ppl think. Aew wrestling draws about that on average maybe less and WBD were happy over 500k. I think 500k viewers is the breaking point. Get below that and you prob won’t last long. UFL at 650k prob means they last a while. Most teams draw 15k but ppl in the markets are watching on tv. Ppl don’t go to games but they watch. It’s interesting. It’s like a league of Toronto where they draw lots of viewers on tv but they don’t go to the games. Perhaps the stigma of being associated with minor league football plays a role. They aren’t pretending to be the nfl tho.

His lack of any sort of stat line outside of 1 game tho means he gets cut by other teams. Korn is just a joke. With that said Ticats picked up Kolo so maybe someone does give schmek a shot. Korn tho is cut. As for Covington, he was cut early so tells me he’s not good. I think he’s washed up. Never lived up to the hype really. Don’t think it changes at his age

Korn and Schmek both get cut on other teams.

Nield is significantly better than Wolitarsky. Like I get the love for Drew but no. Drew was a product of the o system he was put in because when they let him go he went on to do absolutely nothing where Nield has had success with Toronto and Sask now.

Agreed. But year 2 for Vaval and apparently he’s big on film and learning so maybe he is the best option. I’d imagine they keep another guy around tho cuz ya smart thing to do is keep him fresh. But maybe that other guy is a returner also. There’s options. I don’t recall us rostering extra American DBs last year tho. 420 linebackers tho. I think you may see something similar again cuz JSK Wilson woodsy jones Kramdi Shay smith Novak etc etc etc makes me think 420 linebackers again but maybe Kramdi and a guy like smith could by hybrid DB types.
