Pretending like it's a certainty is just stroking egos. For what it's worth, I think Cole should be SAM. But i'm not going to say he's the difference maker in those games. The team still had the best record and went to it's 4th GC in a row while starting more Canadians than anyone else. We all know anything can happen in a winner takes all Championship.

I think it’s all made grey by the fact that the last two gc losses were soo close that any single change of an under performing factor likely turns a loss into a win. If biggie played at a peak modp level for instance I think we win. But I don’t particularly blame biggie for the losses.

I refer to Nats and Amerks on the roster ahead of guys due to loyalties....personal likes.....rewards.....and it played a hand in the last 2 cup losses....Jackson use...and by default hamstringing the dline...Hurt guys playing at expense of healthy ones..Biggie...Bailey..Demski..Schoen....Going for hollow stats and hype (Houston) over Rose...ZC playing in previous Cup when it was clear after 1 quarter he was limited....multiple guys dressed who never stepped over the sideline....let alone needed to even bring their helmet First eye test this yr looks like maybe we finally learned from past failure, because in all honesty we should be gong after our 5th straight cup win in a row....and what better thing to rag on the dickweeds out west about than to say we have won more cups than them in the last 5 yreas than thay have in total in over 100 yrs...plus we have 12 others in our pocket lol BigBlueFanatic, rebusrankin, wbbfan and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the mafia has learned how far loyalty should extend and when to cut it off. The raptors just rode championship loyalty into the toilet. We haven’t adapted as fast as the stamps did, but I think we got there. Noeller, Tracker, Blue-urns and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bustamente Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 I think Mike Miller will be an excellent ST's coach, sometimes when you the best at your position it doesn't translate into the coaching ranks, this will not be the case with Miller wbbfan, Noeller and Piggy 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope it wouldn’t have. Would it make Zach pull his head out his butt in the playoffs? I don’t think so. 39 minutes ago, bustamente said: I knew someone would bring up Gretzky...........fair point Gretzky was never really the rah rah leader of men type. Messier was.

Noeller Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Apparently Oliveira and Demski on the Injured Veterans List to start camp.

WinnipegGordo Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Bombers signed dlineman Jabari Ellis today. He tried out for the Giants in 2022 then played 2 games with Montreal. The Als cut him last summer. JCon and Noeller 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
