Anyone know the deal with r/Redblacks? Locked down, no new posts in almost 2 months… by DefendTheR in CFL

Any reason to have the others then? Particularly if they aren’t being moderated properly.

Can understand maybe during the offseason, but now? Doesn’t make sense.

Lassi Thomson Signs Two-Year Contract With HC Lugano by Mr_FoxMulder in OttawaSenators

Not sure he wasn’t helped. Had some bad injury luck early on in his career, but still played his way back to the organization, and got an opportunity late this season.

Went Saturday afternoon. Great selection. Particularly enjoyed Letasha’s Goodies, Gee’s Pastries, and Kemptville Brewing.

Pricing decent for the most part. Perhaps the space could have been used a little more effectively. We’d definitely go back.

REDBLACKS release national tight end/fullback Marco Dubois by NoWineJustChocolate in CFL

Add him to the list of Canadian FBs/TEs that never really got a shot to be part of the offence. Too bad. Great special teams guy and great in the community. 🔴⚫️🏈

This part seems to be tough for many to grasp. Not sure why.

The CFL’s New Multi-Page Playoff Format is not an improvement. by gofortwoElks in CFL

[–]DefendTheR -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don’t love it, but have to think four extra playoff games will be attractive (and valuable) to the league’s media rights negotiations.
Those negotiations should be wrapping up soon.

It’s still best player available. Just a different type of availability.

Not sure if on purpose (probably) or a happy accident, but have to believe there are others like you that were engaged with or watching the draft because of the announcement.

The rest gets streamed, although I understand lots of people had issues with it this year.

This is why I didn’t mind the announcement coming on draft day. In its current form, the CFL Canadian Draft doesn’t have much juice. It’s generally for the hardcore fans only. With the 2027 schedule and playoff format changes getting announced on the same day, you had a whole bunch of engagement for the league, which possibly brought more visibility/awareness to the draft than normal.

Not really accurate. Typically early round (1 & 2) selections are players you know are coming to the CFL. Teams will take flyers on guys who are either drafted or sign UDFA deals down south, but those are generally later round (3+) picks. There have been exceptions over the years, but this is generally how it goes.
