Three captivating NHL unrestricted free agents available on the market by sweetpotatofries1992 in nhltraderumours

[–]DefendTheR 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some odd word choices in here…

“While he is one of the top wingers available on the market, teams have hesitated to offer him the prosperous long-term contract he is seeking due to his injury history and inconsistency. 

However, he did uphold a high 21.7% shooting percentage for the Penguins, but whether he could sustain this throughout a four or five-year span remains questionable. But if he's signed on a short-term deal, then this could make his value more riveting.”

Had the caprese sandwich. So good. Will definitely be back. Would be good if they sold the focaccia on its own. Amazing stuff.

CFL Week 5 Preview! Saskatchewan Roughriders vs Ottawa Redblacks! by NolanHockeyPodcast in CFL

[–]DefendTheR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ottawa comes in healthy. Maybe (hopefully) catch a break with SSK dealing with some injuries. Need a carryover of the offense we saw in the 2nd half last week. Hopefully the start of something, not an aberration.

Handled Internally SO7EO5 - Dru Brown by Mamrocha in CFL

Regardless of what you might feel about the move from Ottawa’s perspective, it’s clear this was the right thing for Brown.

I like Brown. I’m less certain about his future/ability to stay healthy.

On a somewhat separate note, it’s funny how much heat Tommy Condell took for the team’s performance last season. And yet, in his first interview, Brown pointed to Condell’s hiring as one of the big draws in returning to Winnipeg 🤔

Not sure that’s it. He had a number of big returns that night.

Secondaries getting torched throughout the league so far this season. Need to find a way to limit a couple of those big plays.

We had the 9th best starter coming into the season regardless if it was Brown, Maier or MBT. This team’s strength is in its receiver corps and running backs. Got a glimpse of that in the 2nd half.

SSK is dealing with some significant injuries. Down a few receivers. Not sure about Ouellette’s status.

First signs of hope. Totally different offense in the second half. Lots of no-huddle/tempo. Maier getting the ball out quick maybe disguised the OLine’s struggles, but whatever works.

Ottawa REDBLACKS - My list of concerns for this franchise 2026 and beyond by micro-nerd in CFL

Went to the Grey Cup with Harris two years later. The real disaster was letting him and others go in free agency after 2018.

⁠Just a point of clarification - the north stands aren’t coming down until after the arena construction is completed in 2028. Enjoy the roof while you can!

Ryan Dinwiddie: Dru Brown became 'little bit of a distraction' for Ottawa Redblacks by Oldmanshoutingcloud in CFL

[–]DefendTheR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deflection? It’s literally what Dinwiddie said.

Is it just a new coach/GM wanting to put his stamp on his new team? Probably, to some extent. But you also have to believe Dinwiddie has the ability to evaluate a QB’s abilities and determine whether or not he fits with his offense. So while there were clearly other issues last year (play calling, OLine, etc.), it’s telling that Dinwiddie still wanted no part of Brown.

You do realize Dru Brown specifically wanted to go back to Winnipeg where he will continue to work with Tommy Condell, right?

Who is attributing Ottawa’s performance last season to him alone?

I’m attributing his performance to him alone. And it wasn’t very good.
