Three storylines to watch in the Eastern and Western finals.
Feel free to use this thread to discuss this week’s games or anything else going on in Canadian Football!
After an all-too brief amount of time on the Lions bandwagon, I have no choice but to throw my full support behind the Als. The Riders winning a Grey Cup in Winnipeg is not a tolerable outcome.
That sentiment makes perfect sense as a Bombers’ fan. I loved the way you expressed it; I chuckled a few times. If Alexander’s leg is good enough, I’d say the Als have a good chance of the Cup. I was pretty blown away at how much team chemistry I saw after they bested the Ti-Cats in the post-game interviews and on-field celebrations. This is a takeaway I had from watching the Blue Jays. When players and coaches very very convincingly say they’re “all rowing in the same direction, playing for each other, love the team” - I think that’s powerful ingredient for playoff success
The Als do seem like they might have momentum on their side (Alexander’s injury notwithstanding). The Riders…maybe it’s wishful thinking, but it seems like they might have peaked a little early?
