- Don’t feel any real home ice advantages. Confirmed locker rooms would be rotated fairly.
- Emphasized depth on blue line and I got the impression they really don’t expect Valimaki to play
- Appears will be flat cap for next few years. We’re in a fairly good spot with most core players under contract
- Trev said Team are ‘like school kids’ in the locker room, very excited to be back and playing. Taking things seriously and everyone can’t wait to get to Edmonton.
The only thing that could top Bo Levi & the Stampeders celebrating a Grey Cup Championship in the Eskimos' dressing room...
