Game starts in about 3 hours. Not the premiere match up of the week, but an important game for both teams as the loser falls further out of the playoff picture. MBT starts for the Elks while Powell starts for the Ticats.
Reading on Hamilton threads that there is a risk of severe thunderstorms. Let’s hope it’s a good game and not interrupted by weather.

Hamilton vs. Edmonton is an early preview of the Toilet Bowl game that should be played at the end of the year.
Still a proponent of having a Toilet Bowl game played 3 hours before the Grey Cup. The winner of the TB would get the #1 pick in the upcoming draft.

Tornado touched down in Ayr, Ontario this morning. About 35 miles west of Hamilton. Weather very unsettled here.

Welcome back. Well, not really, but enjoy the game. It’s a real league with teams based in the actual cities as named.
Sorry not sorry your trash hub league did not work out, but they did actually build another real league.

that hit looked like a clothes line. Is this wrestling? Isnt that a horse collar tackle? High hit on the first play

The return of E-Z is far overshadowed by the very first offensive play.
You gotta know that ain’t good.
Hope he is okay

It’s not a horse collar as he didn’t grab him from behind and pull him down, but I thought it was a penalty. There’s one on the books called unnecessary roughness and if that wasn’t textbook UR I don’t know what is. Not a clean tackle. Imagine if everyone tackled like that on every play. There wouldn’t be enough players left to finish the game.

Just tuning in… What a somber start. Wishing all the best for the injured player.

Jeez…
I wonder what happens now. I’ve never seen the ambulance be brought out in the CFL like that. I assume they’re treating it as a suspected C-Spine injury, which is why they were stabilizing the neck + putting him on a board.
This is the worst part about football.

In the meantime during this unfortunate and sad timeout, we’ve captured yar signal, for those watching, in the United States.
Long snappers and punters out on the field now

the Elks should have an act of honor, decide not to play and give the game to Hamilton.
