The wheels are apparently turning in Edmonton these days, calculating the prospects of re-uniting a fairly successful one two punch for the Green and Gold.
With Jason Maas spending his time now on the sidelines of Montreal instead of Hamilton, the word out of Edmonton is that there may be some interest in a reunion for Maas and Ricky Ray for next season.
With Maas due back in Edmonton this weekend as part of the Als roster, the Edmonton Sun’s Jonathon Huntington decided to try and squeeze some information out of the Eskimos front office regarding their interest in the former Eskimo back up. The Esks have been a struggling team when the third quarter kick off takes place, a spot back in the day when Maas would jump into the play and bring back the Esks from near despair.
As can be found in your local standings table, the Eskimos have not rebounded in the second half as well as in those years of success with Ricky and Jason’s great adventures. As the Esks continue to stumble their way through the regular season, thoughts of Maas coming off the bench seem to be an option that many an Eskimo fan would like to see in 2008.
In the Huntington article, the underlying tale of the recent Casey Printers signing in Hamilton is that Maas wanted to head back to Edmonton, where his wife and daughter still reside and some of his better days in the CFL were found. As things turned out, Maas went east instead of west, but it seems to be only a temporary residence according to the tales making their way through the CFL grapevine.
In a season where Esks fans are looking for any signs of hope, the prospect of a favourite son returning to Commonwealth may help take the sting out of what so far has been a very disappointing season.
