BC Lions
Can BC punch their ticket to host the West Semi?
Can Edmonton play spoiler? Elks are pretty much just playing for jobs next year.
What can poor Victor Cui do to bring fans back to the stadium for 2023?
Just one fan, but it's a start:
Answered in order
Yes
No
Heaven only knows
I’m not so sure heaven knows either.
i wonder if corny will be back for next game.
I think he’s already been ruled out with a spleen injury. Tre Ford will start, I believe.
i knew he had the spleen injury, but i wasn’t aware he was already ruled out. i’m just surprised corny wasn’t concussed. he took a big hit.
IIRC, I saw a Marshall Ferguson tweet about it earlier today…with a clip of the hit, which I had missed. Ouch! Hope he’ll be fine for next season.
holy crap, i didn’t know that about Bledsoe

I don’t wish injury on any player so I hope Corny has a full recovery but the Elks need to see what they’ve got in Ford and maybe even Locksley.
i love that people call him corny. i only do that because i tend not to capitalize in general so when i was typing on my tablet i got the autocorrect changing his name when i tried to type/misspell it and instead of keep backspacing to correct i just went with it always. but i bet most teammates and elks fans call him that too.
and yea i hope he’s ok and recovers well for next season. he has the physical tools, just needs to work on decision making and putting it all together consistently i think. CFL needs more good younger QBs.

Quite sure the EE will be the most improved team next year
I’m hoping the Redblacks can give them a run for that title. A healthy Masoli and/or a full season of Arbuckle should help.
