My Department Plans on Stopping My Funding but Has Delayed Phd Defense Again
No surprise that Zach led the pack
Zach Collaros' excellent operation at the Saskatchewan Roughriders' mini-campsite was to be expected, according to columnist Rob Vanstone.
Robservations …
• Past all accounts, quarterback Zach Collaros was the all-time player at the Saskatchewan Roughriders' recent mini-campsite in Bradenton, Fla. Before you lodge Grayness Cup tickets, keep in mind that there was every reason for Collaros — by far the most experienced actor at the two-twenty-four hour period camp — to stand out. He wasn't facing a pass rush, nor was he operating against proven defensive backs. It was a given that he would excel under such favourable conditions.
• Roughriders head coach, general manager and vice-president of football operations Chris Jones continues to insist that at that place is a competition for the starting quarterback'due south chore. Information technology is the right thing to say, considering that Brandon Bridge is also part of the Roughriders' quarterbacking equation, but the inescapable reality of the situation is that Collaros is non existence paid $430,000 to serve as a fill-in. Bridge is an intriguing prospect, simply Collaros is on a dissimilar plane developmentally and in terms of remuneration.
• If the Roughriders' brass cannot upgrade the offensive line, which is still a question mark, it will not matter who is playing quarterback. It is imperative that the Roughriders observe a reliable left tackle, along with someone who can replace the recently released Peter Dyakowski at correct baby-sit. Offensive line aside, the Dark-green and White does not announced to have a major weakness.
• NHL officiating hasn't been this bad since, er, final year. Too many obvious penalties are either missed or ignored. The standard of enforcement should not change once the playoffs make it, but the referees typically become more lenient — with the actual or tacit approving of their bag-over-head supervisors — at this time of year.
• Information technology is fashionable to dump on Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Jake Gardiner, who was minus-5 on Midweek in a season-ending, vii-four NHL playoff loss to the host Boston Bruins. Gardiner had a nightmarish night, to exist certain, simply the criticism should be directed toward the Leafs' well-compensated hockey-operations staff for not fortifying the team's blueish line leading up to the trade deadline.
• The Stanley Cup playoffs' all-time matchup will take identify in Round two, in which the Nashville Predators and Winnipeg Jets — the NHL's top two regular-season finishers — will collide. Nashville volition prevail in seven games, with goaltender Pekka Rinne being the divergence. I guarantee information technology.
• Profuse thanks to Estevan Bruins goaltender Bo Didur, who before this calendar week granted me one of the about entertaining interviews in my 98-twelvemonth career. Didur is now a member of my personal goaltending hall of fame, along with Ed Staniowski, Bernie Parent, Gerry Cheevers, Glenn (Chico) Resch, Tim Winters, Mike Risdale, Bernie Germain, Connor Hellebuyck and Father Vaughan Quinn.
• Quinn, formerly of the Flying Fathers, was the featured attraction at the Agridome (now Brandt Eye) in 1988. For one of his gags, he tended goal with a bucket over his head. (That approach has since been emulated past those who play goal for the Philadelphia Flyers.)
• It is a springtime evening in Wascana Centre and, ahhhhh, in that location is the unmistakeable pong of marijuana. And, alas, information technology will only go worse when pot is legalized.
• And can something exist done about the loud, oversized vehicles that speed through Wascana on an otherwise tranquil spring evening?
• Three acronyms that can destroy a sportscast: (1) MLS; (2) CONCACAF; (iii) TFC.
• No self-serving column would be consummate without mentioning the Christmas Cheer Fund sports memorabilia sale, which is slated for Sunday (10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Conexus Arts Centre, Jacqui Shumiatcher Room). Donations of memorabilia are still being accepted (please call me at 306-781-5216, or e-mail me at the address below). Saturday'south self-serving cavalcade will focus on the most interesting items that will be on sale Lord's day. Curlicue credits …
