The official who normally monitors the 20 second clock instead counts down the 20 seconds.

Ah!  So there is a 20 sec clock, it's just that's a human one.  Cool.

Does anyone know if these things are replayable later?  I'm really bummed I missed it.  CFL+ doesn't seem to let you rewatch.

You want to reach the youth market yet you force people to only watch live?  Kids don't do live.  Lame.  There's no rights/ad issues with these PS so why don't they let you watch later??


CFL+ is promising 48 hour playback on demand for regular season games. I haven't signed up for TSN yet, their streaming service seems to be getting worse every year, will see if I can get by using just CFL+ this season.

Hey... what about now with Philippe Gagnon's arm sliged up?

Ya, I tried a ton of stuff to get the Mon game page/link to play something, but it won't do anything other than "event not started yet".

If anyone else gets these things to play post-stream, let us know!!

I have loaded the game a few times (last night & tonight) to check some details and I have had no problems at all.

Hey, thanks!  So it might be a problem with my Firefox.  I decided to try it with Chromium and boom worked no problem after I entered my details.

Often all my ad/js blockers in FF break sites, even when I disable everything.

Thanks again!  Watching the CGY@BC game now.  Good thing I still had the URL around in FF to paste... looks like they've hidden the link to it in the pre-season page already.  I have no idea why anyone would want to time-limit content (to 2 days!) in the first place, but hey, this is the CFL!

Same issue, I was using FireFox too.

Gagnon will be out until LDC with a torn bicep. They have signed CDN. OL Noah Zerr to fill his spot.

Please answer the 5W's, I can't imagine what you're trying to say.

He was making a jibe that SSK OL depth went from nice to dire overnight.  As Ridermania said, Gangon got a booboo that puts him out for months.  Add that to McEwen already out the season and it looks like more of the usual OL woes for SSK.

And I'm assuming Yoshi is fine already, otherwise they'll really be in doodoo.

So they re-signed Zerr after releasing him a few days ago.  (Paperwork person in the office is like "really?".)

P.S. Don't tell SSK, but Rice is still available.

You have to wonder how nervous Harris is in Sask. He's somewhat fragile in his old age. Their best hope is to keep his jersey clean. They are still a playoff team though. Pretty excited to see how this season unfolds.

It might be a bit odd seeing Andrew Harris on the Riders sideline.


Trevor... last season, now and then he ran the ball when there was an opening.

I hope he doesn't do that... each time he did it I was wondering if he would get up.

Can't say I've ever heard of Philippe Gagnon before but I see he's had a long career with the Als.  Much like Yoshi probably trying to cash in on his last few years and it seems Sask. still likes to collect players well past their due date.  Won't be surprised if they sign Chungh as his replacement.

Where you been? He's played 106 games over 8 seasons. I'm not sure if Chungh is going to play in 2025.
One game at a time.
