Grey Cup bound but this game aged me a couple of years
So they owe me a cup

A horn needs to be shoved up somebody's neither regions.....

pressure, but keeps breaking contain.  Annoying.  But another Elks punt forced...
....and Salsbury has the ball stripped....Parker recovers.  Turnover.
Parker's best game so far. Zac is still in there.....why?

Can't say enough about the job that Kyle Walters has done. Of coarse this is just a small sample of what he's done.  But picking up Zach at the deadline last year was huge on us getting that Grey Cup win and then picking up Sergio Castillo under the gun this year again had a massive impact on us getting another Grey Cup win. These two moves can't be understated.
