I've been crazy busy, with work, kids, life, work, kids, ahh, err, ......... well you know how it goes.
Hopefully i can blog a couple times a week, discussing the slide of our beloved Riders and a new hockey season which is upon us.
-------------------------
Ok, first things first! The Riders are 4-9 and are going no where fast. They mathematically can still make the playoffs, but it's highly unlikely. They have to run the table and hope Edmonton only wins 2 of their 5 remaining games. It can happen, but after our last two games, we'd be lucky to win another game this year.
It doesn't matter how it all plays out because it is very evident that we lack the talent right now to continue to have the success that we've had for the last 4 years. Again, we will head into the off season trying to figure out our coaching situation and Rider Nation will be watching what Jim Hopson has in store for this franchise.
-------------------------
A new NHL season will begin in a few days and i'm excited to see the Maple Leafs and their revamped roster. Obviously i'm a delusional Leaf fan but i really believe, if Reimer is for real, that they will make the playoffs. If Reimer doesn't play as well as he did last year, than they don't have a hope as it begins and ends with goaltending.
Brian Burke has added a couple pieces that have improved this team (Franson, Lombardi and Connolly) but i still think they lack a true number one centre, like a Crosby, Getzlaf or Staal.
That's all for now.
Later!
