So much awesomeness last night.
Wisely, I booked today off (definitely needed after last night). Haven't been that amped up for something Ottawa sports related in quite some time.
-> If Powell stays healthy, this offence has the potential to be dominant. Not to get too far ahead after one game, but there are so many weapons at WR and on the outside in general, I'm not sure how an opponent can load up out there with numbers and then contain Powell. He was breaking ankles last night. As an aside, brilliant game plan to have Harris rolling out and using his legs more than I've seem him do in a single game. Basically neutralized a good SSK pass rush.
-> Collaros was absolutely blown up last night. It seemed like every play there was pressure coming from somewhere else, delayed pressure....that's basically what I expected from Thorpe's D. Ferocious last night.
-> Field position is so important in the CFL. To have a guy like Leone who can punt for 50-60 yards at any given time is the equivalent to having a successful power play in hockey; it just puts you in the driver's seat more often.
-> Seeing Carter get burned and rattled so often was awesome (I'm sure for the 7 other fan bases, too lol)
Just a beautiful night and atmosphere last night. Not to give Hunt too much credit (the fans have always been here football-wise), but I hope he surfaces with a new Sens ownership group, whenever that materializes, in a president role or something front-facing. In terms of any of that, he's like the anti-Melnyk. The operation they run on Bank Street is A1.
Pumped for tonight. Double header of CFL games and the NHL draft.
