Shift-4

Recommended Posts

Was at the game great atmosphere!  Just a ton of fun.  Haven't been in a few years...been to 50 Canucks games in the interim. 

 

Canucks have a weird group of odd ducks this year who seem to have trouble closing out a game.

 

Refreshing to watch a home town team get the job done when it counts.

Butler not feeling 100% too...curious to see what's up with him.

 

The team gutted out a win. They wanted it more, you could see that. Home crowd really makes a difference too.

 

Was listening to some post game on 730 in the car and David Menard (I think it was him) was saying he got emotional when they came out on the field and everyone was waving towels. He said he hadn't experienced an atmosphere like that and he really took it all in. Very cool.

He got destroyed on the play that he fumbled. Looked like he tweaked hi knee. I was amazed that he played through it and ran so well.

Heard his post game interview with Moj.

He seems okay and he should be ready to rack up some big yardage against the Blue Bumblers. 

Yeah I don't like the idea of Butler playing at only 70 percent with an injury vs the two time champs in cold Winterpeg.

 

You need another back who is fresh ready to go. May be a good time to incorporate a guy the Bombers won't have any CFL film on like Brian Hill. Edit oops the Lions released him from the practice squad back in late September.

 

Ex NFL guys don't seem to last long in the CFL whether it is because teams are not patient enough or their entitlement as ex NFLers?

 

If the Lions are smart they will continue to keep balanced and run the ball to protect Rourke. Also a second back would keep Butler fresh and mitigate his effectiveness through injury.

 

Just look at Hollins guys who haven't played and are dropped into a game can make a big difference they have the juice and the fresh legs.
