WHAT A WAY TO HAVE TO LOSE THE GREY CUP

(Photo: http://www.cfl.ca/) - Anyone have some kleenex ......

The Montreal Alouettes are Grey Cup champions. Anthony Calvillo bounced back from a shaky start and Damon Duval kicked a last second field goal to give the Montreal Alouettes a stunning comeback victory in the 97th Grey Cup.

Saskatchewan Roughriders had already won the game, with Montreal missing the field goal attempt, only to have the Roughriders penalized for to many men on the field. With the penalty, it moved the ball 10 yards closer and this time and Damon Duval didn't make a mistake this time, 33-yard field goal was good capped a fourth-quarter rally from a 10-point deficit in a 28-27 win over the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

"The disappointment of this loss is going to affect us as long as we're on this planet," said an emotional head coach Ken Miller said after the game." Total 100 per cent disappointment."

The Roughriders sent an extra lineman onto the field for the second field goal attempt to try and block it, but failed to take another player off. Special teams co-ordinator Kavis Reed took responsibility for the gaffe and refused to say which player should have come off." The player's name is not important," Reed said. "What's important is that a mistake was made and ultimately I think I'm responsible for that mistake." It was not a heat-of-the moment thing. I was going through the mechanics of counting. I asked people to verify the count and that mistake was made. "Guys going on the field are communicating to the guys coming off the field that we're running the play. You communicate going on the field that we're running the block. Those guys who are not on that team know to come off. Obviously someone didn't get that."

The Roughriders took over the Calgary Stampeders' dressing room upon their arrival in the city and it was nearly silent after Sunday's game. A few players stood facing their lockers for some time before heading to the showers."I'm not going to lie to you. It's unbelievable right now," returner Jason Armstead said. "You've got to play four quarters until that last tick is off the clock."Ironically, Saskatchewan was the least penalized team in the CFL this season."My stomach is still turning because I thought we won the game," said defensive end Stevie Baggs. "I was like 'oh my goodness, we won' and then I see flags on the carpet and wondering what's going on." Until we see the film we don't even know who the extra man was."

Montreal was favoured to win the 97th Grey Cup after posting a 15-3 regular-season record and dominating the B.C. Lions 56-18 in the East Division final.Saskatchewan went 10-7-1 and defeated the Stampeders 27-17 in the West final. The 'Riders hoped their inexperienced quarterback Darian Durant would rise to the occasion and that the team would be elevated by the sea of green-clad fans in the stands. That did happen for much of the game.

Durant, playing in his first Grey Cup, ran for a touchdown and threw another. He held his own against Montreal counterpart Anthony Calvillo, who was making his seventh appearance in a CFL final.Durant completed 17 of 29 passes for 201 yards and ran for another 57.The good work of three quarters came undone in the fourth, however. Saskatchewan led 17-3 at the half and 20-10 after three quarters, but Montreal scored 18 points in the fourth quarter."

It's a tough feeling. It's hard to describe. It really is," said Durant. "You have to look forward to next year. It's going to be a tough one to swallow, but time heals all wounds. It's going to take a little time. It's a little added motivation to come back and get it right."While the penalty will be the talk of the game for years to come, Jerald Brown's interception of Durant in the fourth quarter led to a Montreal touchdown that allowed the Als to pull within two points.The CFL's best defensive lineman this season said the Grey Cup began slipping away before the last minute of the game.

REGINA PATS - 0 vs. SPOKANE CHIEFS - 4

vs.

Regina Pats at Spokane Chiefs, tonight at 9:00 p.m. (Regina Time) Spokane Arena 8:35 p.m. pre-game show, radio 620 CKRM by broadcaster Rod Pedersen. In their only meeting last season at the 'Dome the Pats gave the sold out crowd a treat with a 2-0 win. Jordan Eberle and Garrett Mitchell with the Pat goals and Linden Rowat stopped all 30 Spokane Chief shots for his first shutout of the season.

GAME SUMMARY: Regina Pats had been out shooting Spokane 8-1, but it was the Chiefs who scored first. Tyler Johnson, cut to the net through the Pats team and back handed at 11:05, assisted by Levko Koper. Final shots - Regina 10, Spokane 7.

In the second period, a bad turn over by Regina's Defenceman Alex Pym at Spokane Blue Line resulted in their second goal. It was Kenton Miller, a break-a-way unassisted at 2:10. All Regina Pats could do was have Jordan Eberle hit the cross bar, while Brett Leffler hit the goal post.

Third Spokane went up 3-0 when Steve Kuhn walked through the Regina Pats team and scored at 14:41, assisted by Kyle Beach and Jared Cowen. Regina Pats Coach Curtis Hunt pulled goalie Dawson Guthle after the goal and it back fired as Ryan Letts scored at 15:15, assisted by Johnson and Kenton Miller.

GREY CUP WEEK END

Now this feels like football weather -

GREY CUP WEEK END IS HERE.



Parts taken from the Calgary Sun Newspaper -

The Saskatchewan Roughriders and Montreal Alouettes continued their Grey Cup preparations Friday with a bit of a twist — chilly conditions and even some snow flurries at McMahon Stadium.



The Front of Calgary McMahon Stadium

Sounds like Mother Nature finally got the message this is Grey Cup week. Especially in Calgary, this is exactly what we expected.



“I was waiting until (the cold weather) showed up. I knew, at some point, it would. The key thing is it’s not brutally cold out here. This is manageable.”

Players on both sides were wearing warm headgear and extra layers under their football equipment.

Coaches and support staffers bundled up in thick winter jackets. Even Roughriders offensive lineman Chris Best, a born-and-bred Calgarian, was spotted in a tuque.

“Man, you’ll freeze,” Now this feels like football weather.



Riders Coach - Ken MILLER, holding the Grey Cup - Once again,

YES.

But not everybody was complaining about the sudden change in conditions. Riders head coach Ken Miller couldn’t conceal his smile when asked about the arrival of the wintry weather.

“I think the men really enjoyed the atmosphere out there and, surprisingly, we were able to get some good work done,” Miller said.

“Yeah, it did feel like Grey Cup week and there were several comments that this is what Grey Cup week should feel like.”



Gene Makowsky - Photo: Roy Antal, Regina Leader Post

Offensive lineman Gene Makowsky, who was raised in Saskatoon and is the longest-serving member of his province’s only pro team, was also enthused about the blast of snow.

“I love this time of year,” he grinned. “For most people, when the snow starts flying and you have to start wearing winter jackets, it’s not the greatest time. But I love it because I know it’s playoff time — it’s when the games mean the most. Ever since I played in high school, I love it when the weather turns.”

Forecasters are calling for a sunny sky for Sunday’s Grey Cup game, although the participants insisted they’re not worried about the conditions.

“The weather is only a factor (Saturday),” said Alouettes receiver Kerry Watkins. “After kickoff, nobody will think about what the weather is like. It’s more mental than anything. You have to be mentally mature to put it all behind you. You have to realize everybody is in the same boat.”



The Last Grey Cup Victory in downtown Regina

or should I say the Grey Cup Victory in downtown

Regina next week. .... GO RIDERS .........


****************************************************

The Mayors of Montreal and Regina have a friendly bet going over whose team will win the Grey Cup.

Regina's Pat Fiacco and Montreal's Gerald Tremblay have wagered two pairs of season tickets on this year's CFL championship game between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Montreal Alouettes.

REGINA PATS/SASKATCHEWAN ROUGHRIDERS - CKRM BROADCASTER ROD PEDERSEN - DOING DOUBLE DUTY THIS WEEK-END

CALGARY - Grey Cup week peaks today and I'm headed out of town.

This blog post comes to you from departure gate C21at the Calgary Airport as I (CKRM broadcaster - Rod Pedersen) get set to fly to Seattle to catch up with the Regina Pats for two weekend broadcasts (tonight in Everett and tomorrow in Spokane) before returning to Calgary Sunday at 12:55pm in time to call the Riders in the Grey Cup nationally. ("I wish you all the best, Rod this week-end, as you will need it," Ron Scoreboard Johnston)

This trip to the States has been called "ridiculous", "crazy", "unforgivable" and "dangerous to your health" by my friends the past few days but duty calls and the Pats need me.

Besides, there's nothing going on football-wise between now and the game anyways. Friday and Saturday are all about the fans and the party.

I don't need to be around for that. I don't like crowds to begin with. As for calling the game Sunday across Canada, I get the first half of the game.

REGINA PATS - 4 vs. EVERETTE SILVERTIPS - 2

Regina Pats will visit the Everett Silvertips tonight at the Concast Arena - 9:35 p.m. (Regina Time) 9:00 p.m. Press Box Sports Bar Pregame Show on 620 CKRM with Rod Pedersen as the broadcaster. The Pats and Silvertips have met 6 times in total since Everett joined the WHL for the 2003-04 season, with the Pats holding a 2-3-0-1 record.

GAME SUMMARY: A Regina Pats break down in their own zone, had Everett's Shane Harper score at 11:36, assisted by Radko Gudas and Chris Langkow. A delayed penalty resulted in Everett's second goal by Langkow at 16:03, assisted by Gudas and Harper. Regina Pats scored 13 seconds into their power play to make it 2-1. Cody Carlson scored at 19:55, assisted by Jordan Weal and Jordan Eberle (the assist put Eberle in first place in the WHL scoring race with 47 points in 23 games). Regina out shot Everett 17-8.

Regina Pats tied the game at 2-2 as they went 2 for 2 on the power play. It was Jordan Eberle 16 seconds into the power play at 8:55 of the second period, assisted by Matt Scrueby and Weal. Once again Regina Pats out shot Everett 16-8.

Regina went up 3-2 on the third power play of the game. Eberle scoring at 3:42, assisted by Weal. Jordan Eberle (a hat trick, his fifth point of the season) scored an empty net with 9 seconds remaining in the game, assisted by Davidson. It was Pats 3 for 5 on the power play, while Everett was 0 for 8 on the power play. The win had Regina pass Moose Jaw into third place with 33 points.

REGINA PATS - DAY SEVEN of the U.S.A. TRIP

We change things up and take a quick video look at game night as the Pats took on the Seattle Thunderbirds.

REGINA PATS - DAY SIX OF THE U.S.A. TRIP

Well, it begins with a 3 hour bus ride from our home this week in Kent, Washington to Portland, Oregon to take on the Winterhawks at the Memorial Coliseum, with a quick stop in Olympia, Washington for pre-game meal.

Lets talk about Memorial Coliseum...it's an old building that many in the Portland area want to tear down, but I think it's fantastice, with tons of character. With just a little polish, it can be a great place to watch hockey.



The ice surface would be the first thing to change..the ice is 185x85, which is 15 feet shorter than every other ice surface in the WHL. The boards are very soft with funny hops everywhere and the benches are awful.

The way the stadium looks, it just drips with the history of the Winterhawks...and the Portland Trail Blazers, I was half expecting Bill Walton and Cam Neely to walk out of the dressing rooms.

TEAM WHL READY FOR THE RUSSIANS

Team WHL Ready for Russians as 2009 SUBWAY® Super Series Continues on Wednesday, November 25, 2009 - In Regina, the game can be seen live on Channel # 109 (Access TV). TSN is a 4 hour delay.

Victoria, British Columbia - From the WHL Web Site. - http://www.whl.ca/ -

The 2009 SUBWAY® Super Series enters its final leg Team WHL welcomes the Russian Selects for Game 5 of the six-game series on Wednesday, November 25th, in Victoria, B.C.

Wednesday’s contest between Team WHL and the Russian Selects can be seen on Rogers Sportsnet (Live on SNET-P; 7:00pm PST).

So far, the Russian team has come up empty-handed through the first four games of the 2009 SUBWAY® Super Series. Russia opened the series with two losses to Team QMJHL – a 3-1 loss in Drummondville followed by an 8-3 defeat in Shawinigan last week – then dropped a pair of 5-2 decisions to Team OHL in Barrie, ON, last Thursday and in Windsor on Monday.

Although the Russians may have lost four games of the series, the team has shown plenty of skill and talent. Medicine Hat Tigers forward Linden Vey is looking forward to suiting up for Team WHL in the 2009 SUBWAY® Super Series, and knows the Russians will provide a test.

“I think anytime you put a Canadian team against the Russians, it’s going to be a special game,” said Vey, who will join Tigers’ teammate Wacey Hamilton on the Team WHL roster “It’s usually going to be a close game and a hard-fought battle.

“I know the Russians have played four good games versus the QMJHL and OHL so far, and I’m looking forward to seeing what we can do against them,” added the Los Angeles Kings draft pick.

The Russians have some strong players on their roster, and will provide a test for Team WHL’s solid group of rearguards. 6’2”, 180-lb forward Maxim Kitsyn leads the Russians with three goals in four games, while Kirill Petrov and Maxim Karpov have each chipped in two goals.

However, Team WHL also boasts some formidable talent right through the lineup. With elite players such as Regina’s Jordan Eberle, Brandon Wheat Kings’ duo of Brayden Schenn and Scott Glennie, and Calgary’s Brandon Kozun , the WHL’s leading scorer, on the roster, The WHL is well-stocked with scoring talent of its own.

Craig Cunningham of the Vancouver Giants has enjoyed a terrific start to the 2009-10 WHL season, currently finding himself among the League’s top scorers, and will look to contribute in his first experience with Team WHL. He is also excited to get the opportunity to play with many of the WHL’s best players.

“It’s a huge honor to be selected to this roster, because there are so many great players in the WHL to choose from,” said Cunningham, 19, who joins Giants team mate Lance Bouma on the roster. “You look at the lineup and see guys like Schenn and Glennie, Eberle, Teubert, and others, and you look forward to getting out there and joining them.

“Someone asked me the other day who my line mates were going to be, and I said I didn’t know but it didn’t matter because you know you’re going to be playing with some great players, either way,” said Cunningham.

As strong as Team WHL’s group of forwards appears to be, the squad’s defense corps looks equally tough and talented. Led by Regina Pats’ blue liner Colten Teubert, the group includes eight NHL-drafted defensemen, with six of those eight rearguards chosen in the first or second round of the NHL draft.

Calgary Hitmen rearguard Michael Stone is getting his first chance to play for Team WHL, and is looking forward to suiting up with such a solid group.

“It was pretty exciting to see that I was named to the team,” said Stone, a Phoenix Coyotes prospect who currently leads all WHL defensemen with 13 goals this season.

“It’s really exciting to see the group…it reminds me a bit of what the Hitmen had on the blue line last season, with such a talented group,” he said.

While it’s certain to be a fun experience playing for Team WHL, all the players know there is much more at stake than a typical All-Star game.

Over the seven-year history of the event, the SUBWAY® Super Series has been used as an evaluation tool for Hockey Canada in their process of selecting players for the National Junior Team.

A strong performance in the series can often lead to an invite to Hockey Canada’s National Junior team selection camp, which immediately follows the conclusion of the series.

“I think it’s something that all the guys will think about,” said Stone, who is looking to represent Canada at the 2010 World Junior Championship in Saskatchewan in December and January. “You have to go out there and play your game, show them what you can do, and try to make an impression.”

Vey also knows the importance of playing well in the series. He knows he needs to play the way he always plays if he wants to earn the call from Hockey Canada.

“I think it would be a great experience to play for the World Junior Team,” he said. “But, you can’t go out there and try to do too much, or get away from the style of play that made you successful.

“You have to go out and play your game, work hard, have a couple of good games, and see what happens,” said the 18-year-old from Wakaw, SK.

Team WHL owns an 11-1 record versus Russia over 12 all-time meetings in the six previous years of the event. Last year, Team WHL posted a 5-0 win in Swift Current and a 2-1 win in Prince Albert in their two games versus Russia.

The 2009 SUBWAY® Super Series concludes on Thursday, November 26th, with Team WHL taking on the Russian Selects in Kelowna, B.C.

REGINA PATS - DAY FIVE OF THE U.S.A. TRIP

Our home base for the rest of the trip is the newly built Sho-Ware Center in Kent, it was opened in January. It's a beautiful building, with black seats in a full bowl, that is trimmed...for some reason..with polished metal. It looks a little goofy, and steril, but if your are looking for a decent mulit-purpose facility this is it. If you are looking for a great hockey rink with charm and character...look elsewhere.

First to our travel day, it was some interesting....and slow travel through the mountains because of a huge snowfall that pounded the area all night and into the morning.

Ams take it on the chin

"I think we are used to it going our way, and when it didn't, we had a tough time dealing with it. We pouted," said Tri-City coach Jim Hiller. "There are nights when bounces go your way and things are easy. Tonight it didn't and we responded with a spoiled-child attitude. Now we have to respond -- that's the next challenge."

REGINA PATS - U.S.A. TRIP DAY ONE and TWO

Things started early Thursday morning as the Regina Pats boarded the bus for the long trip to Cranbrook, B.C., their first stop on their bi-annual trip through the U.S. Pacific Northwest. Packing the bus is an art that Head Trainer, Greg Mayer and Equipment Manager, Leigh Fitzpatrick have mastered. To get 25 player bags, equipment, coaches gear, and everything else a hockey team needs for a 10 day roadie on a bus is quite a thing to watch.

Pats Star Hopes To Nix Deal To Memorial Cup Hosts

This isn't a newspaper but if it was, that would be headline blaring across the front page of today's Sports section.

Yes, this was the story I was alluding to on Tuesday's postgame radio show after the Pats' 5-3 victory over the Edmonton Oil Kings. I said I had some news about Eberle I was sitting on and here it is.

In an article for the upcoming winter edition of Fine Lifestyles Regina Magazine, I profiled Eberle and the Regina Pats. With the club languishing around the .500 mark one-third into the season, there's become speculation Eberle and teammate Colten Teubert could be sent to the 2010 Memorial Cup host Brandon Wheat Kings, of the conference-leading Saskatoon Blades.

"I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about it (the trade rumours)," said the Pats' leading scorer. "Obviously there is talk out there but as far as my thoughts go, I want to help Regina be a Memorial Cup contender.

"This is a story in my eyes because we've had local players on the Pats before who wanted a trade to a contender.

Not Jordan Eberle.

"I've grown up through this system and I owe a lot to it so in my mind I would love to help Regina do well and finish off my career here on a winning note.

"So there ya go. The Scoop Du Jour.

I know there are some factions within the Regina Pats organization who desperately want Eberle and teammate Colten Teubert to stay with the club to finish their careers. However G.M. Brent Parker must at least be thinking about making a move.

At least now, whichever teams are interested will have to come up with a king's ransom.----
