It will be interesting to see an injury report. I am hoping we get to see Mital in action.

I, too, would love that. But the fact he was six-gamed makes me think it's highly unlikely. As a first-year NAT, he has the lowest possible salary, so there aren't big savings to be achieved by six-gaming him just in case he's out that long. Plus, guys on the six can't even practise until after four games, so he won't be on the injury report at all unless he's had a miraculous recovery and is already removed from the six. It's a real shame because he looked like a MOR contender before getting injured.

I didn't realize Mital was put on the six game list. It's not easy at least for me to get info about Argo injuries. I guess I should be checking the Argos.ca site for roster news more often.

I don't see Jones listed with an injury so I presume he will be available.

And thanks for the info.

You are welcome! The best way to keep up with roster moves, IMO, is to look at the depth chart posted the day before each game. It has injured lists and the practice roster as well as the active roster.

Argos are gonna thrash these guys Saturday night. MBT is going to take a beating I'm afraid.

also - trains this Saturday will run only as far as Oakville.

We took GO from Oakville to the Jays on Saturday, and it was a similar setup - trains started in Oakville, and only once an hour, and the train was pretty much full by the time it got to Clarkson and it looked like some folks couldn't even get on and had to wait for the next one an hour later.

I know the maintenance has to get done - they're building a grade-separated crossing at Burloak Drive - but it sure is awkward with the Gardiner problems too.

When GO works, it sure is a fantastic way to get to the game and I just hope I live long enough to see all the construction everywhere done.

There isn't much choice with the Gardiner construction taking place over a three-year period.
