  1. I believe there was some doubt...most of these guys have other careers to fall back on if need be. I'll just be glad to get some football underway....hate the lapse in between hockey seasons and football helps fill the void.
  2. Looks like we'll be getting underway soon... http://globalnews.ca/news/1380991/cfl-cflpa-reach-tentative-agreement/
  3. Wow, LA just never says die. Been a great playoffs, one of the best in years. Close/OT games, 7 game series, lots of goals. Excellent.
  4. Wow, what a game for Willie!

      .. I hope he retires after his second cup, and joins the Canucks as the "Official Good-time Willie" .. PR department executive eventually.

  6. So sad. I have a friend in Moncton...right in the area they closed down, her husband's a cop. I was worried sick but it turns out they'd headed away for a few days to Newfoundland. This is just God awful... http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/06/05/moncton-shooting-victim-was-a-rcmp-dog-handler-with-young-growing-family/

    Scares my rabbit. He hates her. I think it's more of a distraction technique than anything beneficial to a game. E-nough already. HV: Kim was my Mom's favourite...always in her corner. What cave did this guy crawl out of...sounds to me like he feels a bit threatened by his female counterparts. Get back in the kitchen and make me a sammich? Really?
  9. I will do nothing but wish Geroy well. Just because he's retiring in Rider green doesn't discount what he's meant to the Lions' organization or how I feel about him. Perhaps he wasn't "decided" yet and signed with the Riders thinking he may have a season OR TWO left in him. A lot can happen over the course of a year that may have pushed him in this direction. Business decisions were made but that won't change the fact that I watched some of the most exciting football ever because of his contribution. All the best, Geroy. Will miss you, Superman.
  10. SO happy that one of my favourite bands is making music again.
  11. OMG, Lu participated in "design Eddie's new mask". Awesome. (Woops, checked for an image but see Poetica had linked to it)
  12. Well said, C19, and something I've stated in threads that are trying to stir up yet another goalie "controversy". Why would we do that? Feed that beast? It's bad enough that the team has to contend with negative press and other teams, let alone the fan base rocking the boat. Support, don't scrutinize. There are people in place to identify issues and then address them...we don't need to do that. Although a discussion board includes discussion of all sorts, the negative tends to generate steam at times and just look what happened when the masses called for MG's head. Not that I'm convinced decisions were based on the chanting, but I think that may have been the final shove. I hate the Kes stuff because he, himself, has said this is all news to him. I accept that and, until further notice, don't need to look beyond it. He's one of (if not) our best ... let's show him the love instead of writing see ya later cards? I support this thread 100%. Although I do think that, as above, where there's smoke there usually IS fire I look back to Lu to see things can change in a heartbeat. So ride out the waves and let it be. And now I have a Beatles' song stuck in my head for the day.
  13. Fins score on the PP then Ovie comes right back to tie it up. Great game going on here....

    Great job, was just coming in here to celebrate with all y'all. One down, several more to come I'm sure.
  15. This guy gets it. So you get rid of some of our best players and then they regain full health to kick our butts for others teams? Because Burr would come back to bite us in the butt. He's a hard worker and we need him on our side.
  16. They were discussing this on a TSN panel today....said it was ignorant and that, in cases like that, it's best for the player with a grudge to just fore go the whole handshake line up vs spewing it out as Lucic did. Very disgusted in how he conducted himself and the consensus was there's no place for it. Unfortunately, I had to leave, but they were going into the whole "are the handshakes antiquated?" topic. I don't think so. I think it's a traditional show of respect and sportsmanship that is closure after a game but, most importantly, a series. Sure, rivalries are born out of those intense series, but continue on ice when things resume...at the point of handshakes, it's all been said and done until the next puck drop.
  17. Had a feeling, often goes that way...chance at one end then break out/score at the other. Great patience on that goal...and Ellis seals the deal.
  18. Me too, just wish I'd been more on the ball...was up early making coffee but somehow thought it was a 10 start. Great action in the 3rd here...will be a barnburner finish!
  19. Haha me too ^ (obviously, we ARE the good luck the team needs...just waiting for us fans to arrive). High five.
  20. Woooo Bieksa ties it up for us! Turned the game on (thought it was a later game?) and it's in the second...we were losing 2-0. Scored as I turned it on then boom (boom), another one.
  21. The coach sets the tone. If he's yelling on the bench, poking them and pointing his finger maybe it had the opposite effect of what he was going for? I liked/supported him but, in seeing what went down and knowing what I now know, they played the way he yelled at them to play. And it wasn't how they'd done it in the past, he changed that. You don't use your top scorers to block shots and penalty kill and play them till they're worn into the ground. They are not machines. The players are instructed by the coach in how to play, he owns that part. I think there was friction (already)...sounds like it. You need unity and the team to all be on the same page. MG's gone, Lu's gone, Kes was being talked about - now Burr. We'll never be able to assign blame in this game but the way things completely disintegrated with someone new in place would suggest he played a role in that.
  22. I'm picking #8

      Me too Joe. What a nice run for him, even though he got pushed early.

  23. Well that was awesome...quit my job today after investing 5 years in a thankless position and got hired someplace else within a couple of hours. Not going to miss a beat. Luck is on my side today so I think the team should sign me while they can.
