Claude Noel offers more on the disappointment in Pittsburgh: "I never watched the tape back from last night and my thoughts today aren’t really much different than last night. The game was what it was. It was a hard situation to stop. I may take time today to look at the game, parts of the game. I gotta dig in and just take a look… I mean, you’ve got to give them credit. They’re a good team and that doesn’t change today." [WFP]
Paul Friesen on the Jets being down, but not out. But seriously, it's bad you guys. [Winnipeg Sun]
Catching up with Carl Klingberg as he completes his first full professional season in North America “The difference is this is with same team all the time, the same league all the time. You have to always make sure you’re prepared and not getting too comfortable because things are always the same. “But that’s a test for every player coming into this league. I must say I like it better over here, even if it also takes more energy out of you. You need to stay focused every game, ready to go to work.” [The Telegram]
