If by good you are including training that involves being responsible, safe, alert and courteous, I'm with you on this.

There are coaches at all levels who always seem take a shine to the underdog sometimes to the detriment of the team as a whole.

I remember KP telling my son to play as many sports as possible even if football is his fave sport. It was simple yet sound advice. My son playing competitive soccer really helped enhance his footwork in football.

I really do think Lapo has found his calling and will get better and better with experience in the broadcast profession. I really enjoy how he breaks down things for the viewer. It's engaging.

Absolutely, 100% agree. However, the flip side to this and it also drives me insane (no pun intended) is the ones who believe the fast lane is go as fast as I want and get out of my way cuz its the fast lane. So I'm doing 125 /130K to pass someone and someone rides my butt coming in at a much faster speed to get the hell out of the way cuz, you know, fast lane.

Money.

Adding the et al. Chef's kiss. 🙂

I agree with you, I really like him on the panel.

Yea I think he mentioned Markstrom ridding his demons about 497 times thru the broadcast. I get he's a former goaltender but as a bias Jet fan it became real tired real quick.

I love the new nickname. BC Loins. Outstanding. 🙂

Which is encouraging (so far).

Great frustrating period all at once to start the regular season.

One of those games so far. Outplaying them but not burying it. 1-1 is flattering for the Flames thus far.

Does Manitoba have a healthlink line for people to access about their ailments?

No I’m agreeing with, he’s an athlete they can play threw anything, I’m just saying they’ll say I’m good no matter what.

Most Athletes at this level are ‘I’m good’ when asked how they’re feeling after incurring an injury that doesn’t flatten them to the ground.

Ehlers remains healthy, limited injuries overall, Helle plays Vezina level with LB support, 55 returns to form, Lowry rights the ship helping lockerroom health, depth thru LA trade lives up to its billing, D plays steady, pp/pk aren’t liabilities equals: Hope?

Ideally we make 1st, Stumps or Riders take down the lions in a major upset and then come into our Den for a reality check. But at the end of the day don’t matter whom you play I’m hoping.

Yup, that dirty non pi call made in the endzone against Kramdi irritated the hell out of me as a db fan of the game. But I recognize he’s human and I assume he’s doing his best. The lack of consistency in how DB’s and Receivers are called or not called in how they use their hands/arms is frustrating to me. But I don’t blame that on what the final outcome of the game turns out to be. Well usually I hope.

Your first two sentences is I’m sure the goal of every gm no matter the sport. How successful they are for some is another thing.

Not to mention the fact it’s not in Holms dna to be dirty.

It’s more like running away from those Dickee Dee’s (average age about 37) with their, ‘hey kid want to see something?’

The only nuance I would offer is some of us don’t blame the final outcome on reffing but do get irritated by the lack of consistency in what’s called on both sides.

I did like how ZC used KL for intermediate stuff. And I’m wondering about DS is. Hope it’s just a ding he can deal with as we hit the final stretch.

BC not wanting to establish the run was a head scratcher to me.
