 If 1 punch is thrown in a game the player is ejected. As a new commissioner I thought Stewart would want to make more of a statement


This weeks fines have been announced yet have they?

As always, we will leave this thread up until the new training camp and retire it at that point.

Quote from: Jesse on July 09, 2025, 08:01:58 PMPutting aside how last year ended and losing Ehlers, it just kind of sucks that our replacement/improvement strategy rests on a couple of 36+ year olds to come in and somehow make us better?

It's definitely not better lol. As far as the new additions in the bottom six go, it's essentially a wash with the guys they replaced. I'd be far more excited if we just inserted one our prospects. At least I'd be sorta excited then.

Essentially, it's Toews "in" for Ehlers. It's a net loss to no one's surprise. I'm a fan of the Toews signing for the intangibles but as a bolster, not replacement.

I would keep Iaffalo on the second line due to his speed and skill and keep Nino in his 3LW spot. I'm high on him and he's not Ehlers but he shines if he gets top talent around him. Toews will need that if he's to get to form. Speaking of, I'd also keep Namest as 2C and Toews as 3C in Lowry's spot until he's back, just to give him time to get to gamespeed. Iaffalo-Namestnikov-Perfetti is a speed line that will better hide the Ehlers loss. Although the argument can be made that our second line was consistently inconsistent all last year and so maybe a shake up is what we need there.

Happy at least a suspension happened.
Ya, its like the old saying, there's 3 sides to every story, your take, the other guys take, and then the truth!!

In a postgame interview with Alouettes reporter Joey Alfieri, Adeyemi-Berglund claimed that Turay made it into Montreal's locker room where he was "screaming profanity" and "throwing punches at coaches and players."

This just seems not true. He made it to the entrance and looked to be going in but that was when he was jumped. It's on the video.

* Maybe I need to lighten up a bit, but I found the post-game
celebrations to be a little much. They had a stage set up, and players
were posing for pictures as the commissioner proclaimed Calgary
"Stampede Bowl champions." Champions? It felt too much like a Grey
Cup celebration, which is a lot of hype for an event that might not
even stick around. Fortunately, the Stamps won, because there's no
way a team coached by Mike O'Shea would have gotten up on that
stage
. Something to consider, as Winnipeg is expected to be
Calgary's opponent in the Stampede Bowl for the next few years.

I was wondering the same thing. Or if they even would have a had a celebration at all. How many fans would have stayed?
