Didn't get to watch the game in optimal conditions, but generally speaking going into I thought the odds of going 4-0 with BC going 0-4 were very slim so not surprised with the actual result.

However, in general I liked what I saw. This...

Definitely EST. Never was fond of Gregor and Karius was kind of boring and Gazzola taking over for Karius is a downgrade as I find Tom to be even more condescending than Gregor. I like EST moreso because they have some fun with covering sports....

K for Kelowna maybe? Interesting....

100% agree. In Alberta, Elk attacks represent more than 60% of the total reported attacks against humans.

A Mountain Lion would only defeat an Elk during an ambush attack, but if the Elk sees the Lion first it would win....

Yeah, I was in an argument on another site and there's a couple on there saying the team needs to change the name because it isn't fearsome or gramatically correct and because they oppose the whole premise as to why the team name was changed in the first...

Wow. So he's one of the few out there to be a fan really only in the time that they have been the Elks. This is how in time the name gets some traction and history. That's awesome.

I get the people who want to go back to the Eskimos, but...

To be fair, adjust at half time was exactly what they did last week leading to 5 straight scoring drives and ultimately a win. Generally speaking anytime a team dominates a half without burying the opposition, you should expect the script to flip....

This team has a legitimate defense. 3 games played than they've allowed less total points against than any other 3 game team and 3 of 5 2 game teams. The only way they won't be number 1 with a bullet at the end of the week is if Saskatchewan limits Kelly...

One caution with this methodology is that with espeically with a 9 team league that has a somewhat small sample size for games, using last year's records will always skew the result in favor of the best teams and poorly for the poor team.

Tough to say. 2024 Winnipeg popped the balloon in the back to back just as Edmonton got back into the hunt. But last year they beat Winnipeg late in the season to stay in the hunt and move to win game back of the pack. Granted it was at home and both...

Limiting it to just Killam's tenure 6-4. Not amazing, but light years better than Jones 2-19....

Don't see it mentioned anywhere but with that win on Saturday the Elks improved to 9-6 at home over their last 15 home games. Not dominant, but good enough for people to believe they have a chance to win any given game at home.

An even...

Exactly, in the absence of any camera angle to show it definitively you have to go with the guy that was literally a couple feet away from where it occured....

BLMs start to this season is also pretty impressive. Back to back perfect games and Game 1 wasn't terrible other than the 1 pick that flipped the script on what should have been a 3-0 start....

Same here, with the early end to Oilers' season, I was so excited for this game, but now I'm getting annoyed that it's going to be absolutely brutal weather wise.

The only good news is that the Elks have had a lot of practice in ****ty...

Nah. Football is an outdoor sport. We're just having a weird year for weather....

[bone]

At least in the last year or two, the clouds have disipated at kickoff more often than not like they used to pre-Tillman.

I'll hold out hope it will turn for Saturday....

[bone]

Looking like another real sloppy one. 5-10mm during the day 10-15 overnight....

[bone]

I agree, but I'm putting that on the OC. Doing the exact same play to the same result what, 5 or 6 of the last 7 or 8 plays to the same result. Mix things up. The one play they went away from it they got some positive yardage, just not enough because...

Score really flattered Ottawa as Edmonton generally outplayed them on all three teams.

• Hard to read much because of the opponent and the conditions, but I'm having a hard time reading the Fajardo disses. I'm not fond of Fajardo, but in those conditions
