Roughriders Mailbag: West favourites? Negotiation list? 'Drive-ending' bombs?
Welcome to another edition of the Roughriders Mailbag where we answer questions readers have about the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Article content After a 4-0 start to the 2025 season, the Green and White have wrapped up their first bye week of the season and are set to host the Calgary Stampeders on Friday. Article content Article content Before we look ahead to that game, let's answer some reader-submitted questions surrounding the Roughriders entering Week 6: Article content At this point, yes, the Roughriders are the West Division favourites. Especially after what went down on Thursday night. Article content In fact, the Roughriders might have increased their odds of being the favourites without even playing this week. Article content At 4-0, the Roughriders have gotten off to a good start and look to be contenders this season after falling in the West final last year against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Article content As for Winnipeg, after a 3-0 start, the Blue and Gold lost 37-16 to the Calgary Stampeders on Thursday night in a game that certainly didn't make the five-time defending West Division champions look like they have in recent years. Article content While it's a long season, at this point, Saskatchewan is the favourite followed by Winnipeg. Or would Calgary now be second considering they are also 3-1 and just beat Winnipeg. When B.C. has a healthy Nathan Rourke, they will be better. And then there's Edmonton. Article content While Saskatchewan may be considered the favourite, since the Bombers are five-time defending West division champs, all roads lead through Winnipeg when it comes to claiming the West Division. I get that it's a new team every year but Saskatchewan needs to find a way to beat Winnipeg in the playoffs, which is something they haven't been able to do in years. Article content The playoffs will decide who advances to the Grey Cup but there are a few measuring-stick games coming up for the Riders. After Calgary in Week 6, the Riders head to B.C. in Week 7. Saskatchewan will then host Edmonton before visiting the Montreal Alouettes on Aug. 2, which could be a big test for the Riders. Article content Article content Following games against Hamilton and Calgary, we then finally get the Riders-Bombers matchup on Labour Day followed by the rematch the following week, which is a series that could determine who finishes first in the division. Article content By then, we'll have a better indication of who the favourite is, but at this point, the Roughriders are definitely the favourites. And they even gained some steam during the bye week.

‘Winnipegger through and through': Jonathan Toews introduced as part of the Winnipeg Jets
Jonathan Toews was officially introduced to the media and public Friday as a member of the Winnipeg Jets. The kid from St. Vital is officially home. The Winnipeg Jets introduced Jonathan Toews to the public and media Friday, as he got to put on the Jets jersey for the first time as a player. 'It's surreal to be sitting here right now putting on this jersey,' said Toews Friday afternoon. The Jets announced last week they would be signing Toews to a one-year deal. Toews, who is from Winnipeg, hasn't played in the NHL since 2023 due to health concerns. He's had a storied career with the Chicago Blackhawks, captaining the team to three Stanley Cups. Now that he is part of a new team – a team he grew up watching as a kid – he said he's excited. 'This is another moment that kind of brings me back to, like, it's that new feeling like you're being drafted again.' Toews said he is not only feeling blessed to be able to play hockey again, but to do it with the Winnipeg Jets means even more. 'I'll always be a Winnipegger through and through. It's a dream come true to come back and play in front of my friends and family and be part of this city once again.' Jets' General Manager Kevin Cheveldayoff said this is a special day for the Winnipeg Jets, the city of Winnipeg, and the province of Manitoba. 'One of the most decorated hockey players in Manitoba's history is coming home and that's an exciting thing,' said Cheveldayoff. Once it became official that Toews would be signing in Winnipeg, Cheveldayoff said it was an emotional feeling. Now he is just excited to see what Toews can bring to the team. Toews was asked what he thinks he will be capable of when he returns to the ice. He said he isn't focused on goals and assists, but rather the process of getting back into the NHL routine. 'You kind of forget the grind in the NHL season. So you're 15-20 games in, and it's just non-stop. And knowing it's an Olympic year too, the schedule will probably be pretty condensed on either side. There's a lot of little things like that. But you do the best you can and get out on the ice, in the gym with good players and guys at high calibre and just keep working on your game, day in, day out,' said Toews. Toews will be wearing his usual 19 this season, which previously belonged to David Gustafsson. He said Gustafsson was happy to give up the number and Toews will soon work out how to pay him back for allowing him to stick with 19.
