St. Boniface canadians squeezed past three 01 me to accumulate 13 penalties including could have been More majors and probably would have had the clock not shown that they would serve no useful purpose. Of the 13 sentences canadians Drew eight and played men Stort for the last animates and 25 seconds.

All of us want to win the Grey do we some act if they do some act quite the opposite. Frankly the whole set up is rather confusing. It is infinitely better to Plajer in an i environment of Harmony and Confidence where each Man can i be taken at his word than to spend Good time and Energy at bitter bickering trying to assure oneself that the bombers mean Well towards their employees although they Don t mean Well enough to put it in Black and White. It seems that our r advances have led to this Point. If so we have strayed from the originally intended course. If not there is a Grey cup in the near future. I wonder.
