Hoping we see Fox in the game with The Seal on the benchin civvies but might as well be wishing I get a night with a supermodel. Heck, my chances are better on the later.

Damp cold my ass, we played hockey outside back in the day when they used that crazy number to tell you how cold it was and that day was like 3500 + we had ice dripping off every stitch of clothing,scarves,eye brows, we had to warm up every ******* 20 min in the shack... when its -40 and windy in Winnipeg there isn't anywhere in the world with people, that's colder....🥶🥶🥶

Couple years back we were ice fishing at the Selkirk Float Plane Base on NYE day.... Was so cold, the propane froze and we couldn't start the heater. I have spent a lot of cold days in MB in my life, but I don't know if I have ever felt as cold as I did that day...

Try Thompson lol...but yea -40 is a crap load colder than -10 by any and all metrics

Hell, I played pickups in -35....though the Southern Comfort helped.....

Me too. I think we all probably have. Living in Manitoba what choice did we have? lol

Homebrew.  Thee Manitoba antifreeze.

Looks like about 1700 tickets left for Saturday. Should be close to a sellout. The weather looks amazing.

It looks really nice. Too nice, IMO.

I am trying to balance any advantage I think bad weather would give us, vs the death stare I will get from my wife for dragging her to a freezing cold stadium.

That's easy. I pick cold weather. Your wife doesn't scare me. But, don't tell her where I sit, please. 

Hamilton had an interesting piece about memorble division finals but did make the error that this is 4 straight WF when it is in fact 5.

It's much easier for the crowd to create a loud commotion on defense when your hands are not frozen solid. Always remember to look on the sunny side of life!

Well Parker does seem to have speed and physicality.....

yup...But would rather he is in for Houston, with Rose staying put...Houston is a big liability and a risk for big plays against, and is probably our worst tackling defender on the team...Not liking the blinded by stats thing here

Rose has been just fine...also been there done that.....

Glad to see that Bailey is practicing.  What’s up with Demski?

Lil ankle issue, but nothing that will keep him out of lineup....he doesnt need physical reps/work at this juncture....just the mental reps and be there for the scheme install...same with Bailey

What’s going on with Schoen?

I think it 50/50 right now....I was picking the brain of a player when we were training....he wouldnt say yes or no, but said we should be fine on injury front.....and when I got specific just smirked and said guess we will see sat.....thats all I got

Obviously I'd like DS/rest of #1's healthy but as predictable in any season depth will be tested.

I hope our depth shines when need be. That's where our scouts, GM and coaching staff show their football prowess in who they bring in for depth. 

Let Al Couture work his magic I have a feeling everyone will be good to go.
