Orange is the new White
Winnipeg is 0-6-3 versus the Getzlafs in regular season and playoff action since July.
With your permission I'm putting that on Twitter!
You may want a professional to fact check it but……feel free to. Haha
Ottawa RedBlacks have signed Chris Williams!
Hey Rod, I read yesterday that Bettman is overwhelmed on how season tickets (If Needed) were selling in Las Vegas . And then I read elsewhere that they had a possible goal of 10,000 and that has already stopped at 8,000. They seem to think that they will be supported at about 60% by Canadian Visitors, but I don't think that will happen if the dollar stays or gets worse than it is right now. What are your thoughts. And thanks Rod for running such a great site as this one.
Wonderful to see Chris Williams back in the CFL for 2015! The new rules may make him unstoppable.
I was here in Regina for the last grey cup, in Vancouver for the gold medal game and at the jets game yesterday and that hockey game was like nothing I ever ever seen or heard. Getzlaf loses or not there is no where I would love to be more than back at next game in WPG.
Roddy – do you still take VIGR Elk Antler pills? If so – how often and how many a day. Just curious – looking at buying a bottle. Thanks.
I sure do. Although I didn't bring them to Vegas and I'm missing them.
Do you take them in the morning or throughout the day – how many a day do you take?
