    Agree with all but Cote. I mean, if he is the best Canadian player of the week...
    I would say that Cahoon (even though the Als lost ) had a far superior game.

      Even though he doesn't have a fast deep ball, Ricky Ray is the best QB in the CFL, IMHCO.

          Interesting that it was the Riders who moaned and bitched for a salary cap, and since a cap was put in place for them, they only years they've won they broke the salary cap rules.

                      The player who uses the word "eh?" the most times in a game.

                        Congrats to RR.

                        That was the best I've seen him since before the NFL.

                          True. Apart from the plethora of fumbles, that was one of his best games in recent history. It just goes to show you that in the previous two seasons, he was hampered by a variety of constraints, including poor playcalling and a weak offensive line. Now that our playcalling and O-line seem vastly improved, Ray will have a chance to play closer to his true potential.

                            I think I'll wait more than one game before proclaiming that Ray's struggles last year were simply due to play calling and the O-Line. I will also wait for more than one game to say that either of those are vastly improved this year.
