- Snow on Thanksgiving. Lovely. Just friggin' lovely.
- Michael Bishop couldn't look off a defensive back if his life depended on it.
- Weston Dressler is a phenomenal talent.
- The Riders' special teams were embarrassingly inept. No blocking on kick returns, boneheaded returners, and feeble kick coverage. Yuck.
- It's pretty sad when your fullback has the hit of the game for your team.
- First place in the west will have to wait for another year. I'm still not certain the Riders won't be the crossover team this year.
- Having said all that, it's not like they're the Hamilton Tiger Cats or anything. At least Saskatchewan will be in the playoffs.
- I see the Pats blew another lead the other night. That's becoming a habit.
- A four day weekend with the munchkin ends in the morning. Forget the Riders and Pats, that's some really bad news!
- When I spoke to my mom earlier today it was sunny and 26 degrees in London. It's not fair, I tell ya!

Pete - Doesn't this all have a familiar refrain for the Pats? Good but not that good. Talented but not that talented. Giving up as many goals as they are scoring. Blowing leads with regularity. A poor record on the road. Sitting in the middle of the pack of a weak eastern division.
Derkatch and Perkins have this team playing only slightly better than .500 and it is becoming easy to see that this is not an elite team. I have heard the BS about some scout saying this may be the best team in the eastern division. Firstly that is BS and secondly how poor is the eastern division? Scoring 31 and giving up 30 will get you in a dogfight for a conference playoff spot. How sad is this organization when we compare it to Vancouver or Spokane?? Any thoughts?
I'm willing to give them a bit of a grace period, in order to adjust to DD's system. However, if we're still having this discussion in December, then we pretty much know where this season is headed.
You can't compare the track records of the regimes in Vancouver and Regina. There is no comparison. Vancouver has become a model that all other WHL clubs should aspire to.
