The 104th Grey
Cup matchup is all set.
The Ottawa RedBlacks
weathered the elements
on a snow-covered field in
Ottawa Sunday to defeat
the Edmonton Eskimos in a
rematch of last years Grey
Cup. The big story out of
the East Final was rookie
running
back
Kienan
Lafrance stepping up after
starting RB Mossis Madu
Jr. was injured early in the
game. Lafrance exploded
for 157 yards and a
touchdown and was named
player of the game. Mike
Reilly did all he could to
come back from a 25-3
deficit. Reilly threw for 340
yards and 3 touchdowns to
rally his team to a 28-25
score with under 3 minutes
to go. Lafrance ruined
the comeback with a 20yard touchdown run to put
the nail in the coffin of
the defending Grey Cup
Champs by a score of 3523.
The West Final
was the total opposite right
down to the weather. It was
a beautiful day in Calgary
and the Stamps were well
rested. They hammered the
BC Lions early and often
and had a 32-0 lead at the
half. It was over from there
on. Calgary rolled to a 4215 victory mostly thanks to
Bo Levi Mitchell and his
365 yards passing and three
touchdowns. The Stamps
and RedBlacks will play this
Sunday in Toronto for the
104th Grey Cup.
The
Chicago
Blackhawks are the hottest
team in the NHL right now
going 8-1-1 in their past ten
games as of Sunday. Big
injury news out of the league
this week was Tampa Bay
Lightning All-Star Steven
Stamkos tearing the meniscus
in his knee. The 26-year-old
center is expected to miss
4-6 months, no not weeks,
months. Stamkos could make
it back for the playoffs but
will most likely miss the
remainder of the season.
The
Calgary
Flames also got some
less-than-stellar
news
last week. The Flames
leading scorer Johnny
Gaudreau will miss 4-6
weeks with a broken
finger after being slashed
multiple times in a game
against the Minnesota
Wild. Remember the AllStar Game last year? Is the
name John Scott coming
to mind? Well having a
career 9 goal scorer in the
NHL All-Star Game won’t
happen again. The NHL
has officially changed the
rules for voting. The player
must now be active on a
teams roster and not been
sent down to the AHL at
all during the season. Scott
was a one time thing and
it was entertaining, but
it’s time to get real.
The
Dallas
Cowboys are starting
a rookie quarterback, a
rookie running back and
are the best team in the
NFL. Dak Prescott and
Ezekiel Elliott have led
the Cowboys to 9 straight
wins after losing the
season opener. Elliot is
averaging 110 yards per
game and already has 9
touchdowns. Prescott has
thrown for 17 touchdowns
and only 2 interceptions.
Dallas looks to keep their
win streak alive this week
against the Washington
Redskins
Thursday
afternoon.
