For you CFL fans out there WHO do you think will win their semi final and end up in the Conference Finals?
WHO in the Grey Cup?
WHO in the Grey Cup?
In recent years Montreal has had the advantage/curse of playing in the weaker conference.The problem is Montreal has been the favourite so many previous times with Calvillo at quarterback and yet they've only won once.
I don't mind the current cross-over format. It means that the bottom 2 clubs are excluded from the playoffs (and with 6 of 8 clubs making the playoffs, the bottom 2 should be excluded - this year the Bombers were 7th in an 8-team league; they should not IMO gain a playoff berth at the expense of the 8-10 Lions). The x-over format also strongly favours an East-West Grey Cup (even if Winnipeg is sometimes the eastern team).Under the current set up the crossover is stupid. Winnipeg was one win behind Edmonton.
Crossover should be changed for instance if fourth place team in one division is six points better then third in the other.
OK, end of rant.
It is certainly possible. Hamilton played very well against the West. They swept BC and split against Calgary, Edmonton and Saskatchewan. The losses to Edmonton and Calgary were by only 1 point. Montreal of course is the big problem for the 'Cats - the Als won all three games during the regular season.I might be biased but I think HAMILTON might be a dark horse to win it all.
I suspect Calgary and BC win this weekend.For you CFL fans out there WHO do you think will win their semi final and end up in the Conference Finals?

True but I dont think K-G played a FULL game @QB He was the "relief-bullpen" guy.Now he is THE guy!It is certainly possible. Hamilton played very well against the West.

The West is a crapshoot, there is very little to choose between the three teams. When the Stamps play well they are the best of the bunch, but this year they haven't played well with much consistency.
What in the world would posses you to pick BC over Hamilton, Hamilton already beat them twice this year, are playing at home, are getting hot at the right time with 3 straight wins, have the better record. Also BC does not have one quarterback who is currently healthy. I see no reason the Cats shouldn't win this game handily and will give Montreal a tough game in the eastern finals.I suspect Calgary and BC win this weekend.
Montreal should take BC or Hamilton, regardless...but I do lean on Calgary to take Sask again (mostly as it is my team...could be the best game of the playoffs if played well).
Then Montreal defeats Calgary in the finale. I doubt it is as close as last year, unfortunately, as I think Calgary (or Sask) shoot their load in the Western Final and may not have much left.
Not to mention that BC's defence last in the league in most categories (save for sacks where they are 1st).What in the world would posses you to pick BC over Hamilton, Hamilton already beat them twice this year, are playing at home, are getting hot at the right time with 3 straight wins, have the better record.

What he said.MONTREAL vs SASKATCHEWAN next week guys and girls!!!!
I favour MONTREAL
BC just didn't show up today I feel and the ALs just dominated the overall game.Didnt get a chance to watch the west game.
Realizing BC has now been dispatched by Mtl, guess it is too late to say 'told ya so', eh? It was just a feeling I had that the Lions were due to do something right back then.What in the world would posses you to pick BC over Hamilton, Hamilton already beat them twice this year, are playing at home, are getting hot at the right time with 3 straight wins, have the better record.
