Monday musings

  • Can we now say the Michael Bishop experiment is finally over?
  • The Riders were thoroughly manhandled on Saturday, but were also largely the architects of their own undoing.
  • People calling for the heads of Ken Miller and/or Eric Tillman are stupid. There really is no way of sugar-coating that one.
  • With an above average quarterback and a legitimate outside threat (sorry Adarius Bowman, it's not you), the Riders would be travelling to Calgary this week for the west final.
  • Players who may have played their last game in Rider green: Michael Bishop, Darian Durant, Chris Szarka, Matt Dominguez, D.J. Flick, Scott Gordon.
  • Positions requiring an upgrade in the offseason: quarterback, short-side receiver, defensive (boundary) end, defensive tackle and safety.
  • Less than seven months to training camp!
  • My mood brightened considerably upon returning home from Mosaic Stadium in time to watch the Leafs throttle the godless Habs.
  • Hey, how about those Regina Pats?
  • The Pats have moved into first place in the WHL's east division, and are playing up-tempo, exciting hockey. I'm looking forward to Friday night's game against Seattle.
  • What sucks worse than getting up at 5 am to take your son to hockey, only to find out his team's goalie didn't show up for the game? Answer: not much!

Sounds like something coming down on the trade front this afternoon. It was reported the Pats were interested in Broda out of MJ and the Warriors were interested in Bosch. The it came out that Broda would cost too much. Hell if they give them Bosch even up it would be too much. Then the nane Neal Prokop came up. He would be a third/fourth line center on the Pats, so hardly the impact player they were looking for and not fair compensation for Bosch. Then there is going after a forward when they need a top four d-man. I can't make sense out of the names bantered about but Bosch for non impact Prokop! The Warriors would win that one hands down.
