w00t! Als play Stampeders next week

Anthony CalvilloPassion. Pouvoir. Fierté. Nos Alouettes!
Pride. Passion. Power. Our Alouettes!


Two games yesterday set up the 96th Grey Cup, which will be played this coming Sunday (Nov 23), at Olympic Stadium in Montreal. In one, the Alouettes won a 36-26 Eastern Final victory over the Edmonton Eskimos. In the other, the Calgary Stampeders beat the BC Lions 22-18 in the Western Final.

The Als have played Calgary twice this year and lost both times. Not blowouts, but still ... It's been 14 years since the host won a Grey Cup. The Als didn't play all that well the last time they were in the Cup, and they were a bit sloppy yesterday. Knock on wood, for sure.

(Here's a good game summary of Als-Esks, and an analysis, if you're interested.)

It's been years since I've been to Olympic Stadium - went there a few times to watch the Expos - yeah, that long ago!

It should be a good game. Are you going to live-blog it? ;)
