  1. I'd still like to see Bedard play at least one season in the NHL.
  2. When I was a young buck the forestry service hired logging contractors to help with forest fires. I was on one of those fires in 1974 in the Princeton area operating my uncles skidder. There were at least 3, maybe 4 contractors and their equipment as well as the suppression crew on that one fire alone. My voice took well over a week to come back from working in the smoke during that time. I'm not sure if these methods are still being used but if not, what a waste of valuable equipment and knowledge of the bush. Those old Cat operators could cut smoke guards around a fire in less than a day. Global warming, and human caused, in my opinion how many young people want to hire on as forest fire fighters?
  3. Now the $5k signing bonus is a constant, as I've heard that money being involved. I hope he makes it, as in the CFL, the NFL goes through many QB's in a season. He's got the athleticism and is a very intelligent kid. Playing against 1st stringers will be the real test for him. I look around the CFL and the calibre of QB's, man, there aren't many teams with a legit #1. Toronto, BC and Winnipeg.
  4. Now that's a huge difference. My sources say much, much less than that.
  5. Actually he signed for $200K. He wanted the chance to prove he was an NFL QB. On to today's game, VA looked incredible in the first half, distributing the ball to his receivers, but, the running game isn't there for the fall games on the Prairies, or back East. Also the return game is non-existent, the coverage is way better since Bennie took over, but they need to find a way to tilt the field on kickoffs, and punts. Big bounce back game from the defense too. I just hope VA is OK, why have a QB with the game out of hand, still in the game?
  6. They've got 6 weeks to be at the cap space. We know how difficult it is for a Canuck team to get out of training camp injury free. Everyone on the "trade Myers" train should wait and see what happens until then.
  7. Confirmed 36 souls have lost their lives, this is devastating. To anyone that has ever vacationed in Hawaii, and to see what's left of that part of Maui, you'll know what I mean. That huge banyan tree in the center of town was iconic to those who visited and had their pictures taken near it.
  8. The Penguins are an injury of their top three, Crosby, Letang, and Malkin, from not making the playoffs, even with Karlsson in the lineup. Is he going to be the SJ Shark of last season or revert back to the guy he was in a few years previous? With Guentzil (sp) out for who knows how long, I say the offense is going to be pretty thin. San Jose loses a huge contract which they should have never taken on, they weren't winning with the lineup they had when they acquired him, and pick up a first next season which might be the middle of the pack if the Pens don't make the playoffs. Who knows what the Habs are doing.
  9. A fraction over 5 meters as the flags are 5 meters from the blocks.
  10. Is there a video of this event? I'm guessing the distance between first and second is probably close to 5 meters. In a pool that's huge.
  11. Zero, zip, natta Elks against the Lions in 6 quarters! Ryan Phillips is head coach material..
  12. Totally unbelievable decision by the coaching staff on that play. That looked pretty serious, one game back and then back on IR.
  13. COULD be a great signing for this price, if he decides to play like he did in his early Blues career.
