Monday musings

A busy start to a short work week:

• The Calgary Stampeders were the class of the CFL this year, and reinforced that fact by shutting down Montreal in the 2nd half of the Grey Cup game.
• What will Anthony Calvillo's legacy be, given that he has lost five times in the CFL championship game, while only winning once?
• I suppose Henry Burris is capable of winning when it counts.
• A fun thought to ponder - If Roy Shivers hadn't chased Hank out of town, would the Riders have won their second straight Grey Cup this year?
• I'm loving my home theatre set up. Thanks again to Joe and the gang at Radio Centre!
  
• A Paczko family tradition - putting up the Christmas tree while watching the Grey Cup. Do I know how to party, or what?
  
• Memo to Hockey Regina (tier) coaches: Please don't use your team as a vehicle to further your own kid's "career". It makes you look like an ass.
  
• No such issues to report from the rec divisions, at least not yet.
• The Regina Pats annual Agribition road trip is off to a less than stellar start. Latest in a series.
  
• Ever notice how often the announcers on CJME say "Uhhhhhhh"? Wow. That's some serious ad-libbing talent over there!
• And yet, I keep listening.
  

Pats beef up on blueline

Those fans who wanted the Pats to add some veteran toughness on defense will probably like this development:

Pats add a 20 year-old

Regina, Saskatchewan – The Regina Pats have filled their vacant 20 year-old roster spot today by picking up Scott Gabriel off waivers from the Portland Winter Hawks. The 6’5” defenceman had one assist and 21 minutes in penalties in eight games, and was an assistant captain, before he was put on the waiver wire by Portland. Last season, he played in 60 games with a goal, 5 assists and 244 minutes in penalties.
