Where's Gretzky, last opening ceremonies in BC Place spawned one of the top threads in CP offtopic history.

That said, no way that last play took 5 seconds, so another blown call. Two wrongs make a right though.

I'll never understand why they've spent this much money on this stadium.

Refs were handing out PI calls like candy all game. Another horrid reffing job. 2 weeks in a row for the Bombers.

I imagine Vancouver still has dreams of getting an NFL or MLB franchise.

What the hell is this crap? Even worse than the Grey Cup half time show usually is.

Also, Empire Field > BC Place, especially for soccer.

That was pretty lame, but somehow still better than the Oilers' opening ceremonies of a couple years ago.

Clearly the choreography and all the organization for the opening ceremonies and closing ceremonies for the Olympics was outsourced outside of BC. It reminded me of one of the Simpsons episode where a young up and coming group of kids was going to salute the best hemishpere in the world at the Superbowl halftime show...the Western Hemishpere!

Lions are about to be tied for first with the Stamps and Esks. 6 straight wins if they hold on here.

Lions and Stamps for first place, next week! Never thought I'd say that a few weeks ago. Lions look impressive.

Question to Stamps fans.

Do you hate the Lions like you hate the Canucks? I understand the hate for the Canucks, god knows I'm with you. But it's not like the Lions have unlikeable players. They don't have a Burrows/Kesler/Luongo etc. I find it hard to dislike a guy like Geroy, Angus Reid, Brent Johnson or Lulay. So, where's your hatred level at for the Lions?
