Interesting tidbit from the local scribes about who was unanimous: 
 

 

So how was Demski not unanimous for MOC? I'm trying to think of who else it might have been.......an OL? Liegghio?

Mike Miller, he da GOAT.

Schoen has 68 receptions to Ryhmes 82. lol

Interesting that Rourke was not a unanimous selection for BC.

MOC I’m gonna assume will unanimously be Rourke. The league will want him to win the award. 

 

 

That, and the fact that he will have earned it, even with only nine games. No other Canadian player did as much as him.

He was out half the year!

Wrong! Technically he only missed 8 games, as he is playing this week........

Interesting that the most valuable player on their roster missed half the year. 
 

They know the rest of the team sucks

Who else would they nominate though?  He shouldn't beat out Collaros but for their own team, nobody else was really worthy.  I'm more curious as to who else would have gotten votes... Rhymes maybe for MOP but MOC?

Rhymes could have easily been their MOP nominee. Canadian I dunno. Bc sucks.

prob Cottoy or Williams on defense for canadian...Bets possibly....but as a whole not a real outstanding lineup

I don't have the stats in front of me, but didn't Whyte have a pretty good year for them? In theory could have been MOC...

You mean more than Farhan vote in BC?

I think they’ll lose to Calgary, unless Rourke is magically back to 100% and can be mobile.

I dunno. I think leggs got screwed a bit. Grant missed a few games

Kinda thought he might get the nod, as well. Just enough "oops" moments to go with Grant (who I have no problem with getting the nomination). Leggs had a great bounce back season and I'm looking forward to the next 10-20 years of his career!

even if he totally healthy...they gonna lose to CGY most likely...unless Maier right wilts and makes some dumb...dumb decisions...BC's mode of winning this yr wasnt sustainable...and was more wing and a prayer than controlling a game

How so exactly?

I don't want to step on Booch's toes here, 'cause he knows more than anyone on this board, but I think the short answer is: BC just isn't a very good team overall. They have a couple of pieces (Rourke, in particular) which allowed them to over-achieve at times, but that's not sustainable. Just a couple of examples, but Calgary and Winnipeg are better overall teams (deeper, more pieces) and will always be able to manufacture a win in multiple ways (as you saw the Bombers do ad nauseum this year) but BC had to pray Rourke would pull some magic out of a hat to get their wins, otherwise they were at best a mid-pack team all year. 

Forgive me, Booch, but I *think* that's what was meant...

pretty much that....most of Rourkes success was an immediate quick hit.....or a deep toss and hope the receiver won the battle....when the good teams took away the quick first read he was average at best....tossed many a pick, and didnt have the big point totals.

And some the games where he had the chuck it up plays they got some serious lenient reffing on a lot of Off PI calls. 

Also feasted on the basement dwellers early, and skewwed both offensive and defensive stats...had EDM...T.O (when they were in dissaray)...feasted...met us and god molly whopped at home...had a bye then got HAM...SASK...EDM...barely beat Ham who have a good defense, and didnt really paste the Lowly Riders, had a 40-41 win against CGY and also lost to said Riders

anyway....not a complete team....all or nothing offense which in cold weather play off ball isnt a recipe for success, and both lines are suspect......in a nut shell....They are almost a smoke and mirror version of 2019 Sask...and will be 1 and done in playoffs
