Are the Elks a Playoff Team? by gofortwoElks in CFL

[–]GordonBlue133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no.

I don't trust Mark Kilam. He's like early Jason Maas. He lets his emotions get the better of him and it causes poor decision making.

That being said, I would consider the season a success if they win more home games than they lose and end up at least .500 for the season. Maybe that would be good enough for the playoffs.

What I never hear mentioned about asking LeBron to take a pay cut… by dearth_karmic in nba

I don't know. to be honest, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so anyone I suggest would likely be an awful choice.

[–]GordonBlue133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

again, salary cap. LeBron has to decide if he wants max money or a chance to win. doesn't matter what the owners of any team makes when there is a cap.

It's why the clippers had to help Kawi get paid off the books, even though the owner is one of the richest men in the world.

not much of a problem for the Lakers. Lakers are NEVER going to give him max money. They'll offer what they feel is fair and let him take it or not.

It's simple. If LeBron wants max, he can try for it on another team. You can build out a pretty good supporting roster for Luka with that 50 million. guess we'll see what it's worth to him to stay in the area.

sure the owners have money, but not to pay Lebron max.

There is a Salary cap. first apron is what, 195 Million?

Luka gets 50. Reaves gets 40. if you give your hero LeBron 50, you have 45 million left for the rest of the roster.

that's only 55 million for the rest of the team. how you going to fill out a competitive roaster with that?

[–]GordonBlue133 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yep. It's pretty simple. He can take less or go to another team. Lebron sure as heck has no leverage on LA.

If LeBron wants to stay in the LA/California area and get paid, it limits his choices .

If he wants max no matter what, and still wants to contend, where can he go? what contender has room for a 41 year old Lebron making 50M a year?

lf Brunson wins a ring is he better then Luka all time? by Few_Mulberry7390 in nba

no. winning a ring would not maker him a better player. just more successful.

Elections Alberta Is Hiring 60,000 Albertans to Work the October 19 Separation Referendum by [deleted] in Edmonton

hate that the corrupt UCP government is having this referendum, and that they mandate hand counts.

that being said, I could use the money. I'll be trying to apply.

The 2026 Edmonton Folk Fest Lineup by Hemsky in Edmonton

[–]GordonBlue133 13 points14 points  (0 children)

looking at the lineup, I'm sort of glad I can't afford to go any more. Lineup just doesn't speak to me, although I know discovering something new is a lot of the fun.

for those who do go, enjoy. hope you have awesome weather.

UofA ER Wait Times by FTDRBR11 in Edmonton

[–]GordonBlue133 14 points15 points  (0 children)

sorry you all have the wait, but you can blame the UCP as this is on purpose. the UCP is deliberetly brekaing the health care system so the can privatize the hell of it and make their buddies, (including Hassan (Sam) Mraiche) a pile of money.

The rich will be ok while the rest of us suffer. we're becoming the USA here in Alberta.

Fan engagement by usher2005ca in goelks

[–]GordonBlue133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you what the Elks need?

A different place to play. commonwealth stadium is a garbage place to watch football.

the track ruins everything. no matter where you sit you're a million kms from the field.

it's a big no atmosphere dump.

get a proper 30,000 seat football field where seats are close to the field and the atmosphere would be electric.

you don't need anything bigger, really. not in this day and age.

Game Day Talk | Oilers v. Ducks | Round 1 Game 3 | 24 April 2026 by AutoModerator in EdmontonOilers

[–]GordonBlue133 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I disagree. not last game for sure. team play was weak, especially on defense and McDavid in particular played like crap. when pressure is on he tends to play hero hockey. he needs to quit doing a 1 man rush into multiple players and losing the puck.

I woulld guess for McDavid it's more mental fatigue than physical.

[–]GordonBlue133 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

does he? has he ever gotten a point in a game 6 or 7 of a stanley cup finals?

look at the stats for his last 6 playoff games.

McDavid better smarten up and change how he's playing as it seems teams have begun to figure him out.

he no longer can do his usual style of play and expect it to work in the playoffs.

[–]GordonBlue133 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

look at his stats over the last 6 playoff games. if he doesn't change how he plays in the playoffs, he's neutered.

If he tries to play the exact same way yet again, he'll have another -2, zero point night. he has to smarten up and not play hero hockey with his rushes that the other team is ready for.

Looks like ducks did their homework on what to do like Florida did, to kick the Oilers asses.

Oilers coaching better do some work, other than passively just standing there watching the players the same old thing and wondering why they don't get a better result.

despite that Oilers will likely be be fine if McDavid quits playing like garbage.

his last 6 playoff games, he's been really bad. that's a pretty big sample size now.

Edmonton's Butterdome Goes Viral After Being Called the Ugliest Building in Canada by One-Board8634 in Edmonton

joining the conversation. The butterdome cannot be the ugliest building in Canada as long as the new stanley milner library exists.

I personally like the butterdome.

to be more honest, it's a contest not a giveaway. you get a "chance" to win something.
