Ovechkin passes Sakic to move into 10th place on NHL points list

It was also his 33rd career hat trick.

Nice that he's climbing the ladder, but he has also played 136 more games then Joe.

Rider fans are already chanting "back to back", my anticipation for next season is heavily focused on their demise.

[I think it's a KW bluff]

I think it's a KW bluff.  I seriously doubt we spent to the +$400k cap -- even with the extra 1GIR usage.  And if we did then it's almost criminal that we overspent on mediocre players.

My bet is KW was $200k away from original cap, then spent ~$200k on 1GIR, and thus has the whole +$400k left to dole out to pre-2026 re-signings.  Assuming he now believes that the $400k is FOR REALZ.

If that's the case he should be announcing a number of re-signings shortly, but so far nuthin.  Maybe with their contracts up in the air O'Shea and Walters didn't have the chance to sit down with Wade and fully re-evaluate the roster, but they should be wrapping that up shortly.

Never known Walters to bluff or make up stories, he comes across as very open and truthful, the opposite of O'Shea!

He deserves it.  If I was forced to pick right now between Kenny and Keon at the same price... I might go with Keon.  Keon is more versatile and can take more punishment.  Kenny has slightly better hands and more circus.  But as we saw, circus won't always win you games.

I don't see how BC can afford McInnis AND Keon though.  McInnis didn't earn his huge $ this season.  Trade him away and sign Keon.  Some team in ratio heck will do it.

My new philosophy for WFC is no overpriced RECs -- so I don't want him.  Spend all the $ on OL -- that's the key to winning.  BC OL almost lost the WSF because of porous OL, then they lost the WDF partially because of it.  Having 2 superstar RECs didn't help Rourke much when he didn't have time to throw.

Justin McInnis was 3rd in receiving yds league wide. if BC wants to get rid of him, he'd be my #1 target in FA.  At times he can look clumsy and slow but he puts up the numbers year after year.

To note, when Condell and Zach worked together 2014-15 the Ti-Cats went 9-9 and 10-8 under HC Kent Austin.

They also went to the Grey Cup in 2014 and played a hard-fought East Final a year later, albeit in a losing effort. Collaros also didn't play in that game due to a season-ending injury in September of that season.

FWIW, Collaros' stats were solid during those two seasons (101.9 QBR in 25 regular season games). I'm curious if a reunion between him and Condell would be positive, particularly for Collaros.

Why would you retire on top? Plus have a good core group? Collaros was fine, except as soon as he looked up he had three defensive line in his face.  Give him protection and he will be fine.

  Plus add an offensive coordinator, not a non experienced water boy grad. Sorry. You need some experience, as a play caller, not an experiment. You saw what we got. Oh, and I won't buy another pinnacle lounge seat either, with what we had as coaches, and a crap tackling group of flimsey DBs. And yes I did quit attending after four home games.

Repeating is very difficult. Retiring at the top is better than retiring at the bottom. Age and family considerations after a long career. With age comes greater risk for injury. Past injuries related to concussions etc.

2019 College

2025 UFL

Talk about uninspiring football.

Someday, maybe the CFL can play games to empty stadiums across the USA!

Good resume. Hard to get excited about guys who come up at this age though.

Worth noting both Condell and Collaros were with the Ti-Cats in 2014 and 2015. That familiarity could be helpful.

To note, when Condell and Zach worked together 2014-15 the Ti-Cats went 9-9 and 10-8 under HC Kent Austin.
