One of the worse penalties Ive seen in a while. Way to derail your teams momentum.

the prestigious MBB poll voted decisively in favour of Montreal.

Would be interesting to see how the MBB predictions fare against the cfl.ca ones...

Historically, we do better in our picks and this year is no different but it's close.

On CFL.ca, Pat Steinberg is in the lead with 56 correct picks.  The rest of them have 53 or 51 correct picks. For this game, they are pretty split (3 MTL and 2 HAM).

On 3DN, JC Abbott leads with 57 correct picks.  The rest of their group ranges between 46-54 correct picks. They are picking the Als in this one by a margin of 8-2.

Well silly me for thinking these finals were on Sunday.  So I missed the first half of the East Final.  I did see the highlights and realize I really don't like Montreal's arrogant QB.  What a ****** bag!

 

[Noeller]

I am seriously missing something about Alexander... (Maybe that says something about me...??) What is he doing that people are getting mad about?

[Noeller]

You watch Alexander run and/or throw at any given moment ... How could you not want this guy leading your team?

[JuranBoldenRules]

Too bad he doesn't have pro level hamstrings.

[JuranBoldenRules]

Brutal non call PI on Dequoy there.

[bustamente]

Watch the Als win and the Riders win and Alexander can't play next week

[BaconNBigBlue]

Congrats Als on a win.  Not fancy, but you got it done.

[Dr Zaius]

Poor Hamilton fans. They've been taking it on the chin for 5 years now.

[JuranBoldenRules]

Can't believe Hamilton didn't challenge for PI.  Major game changing play.

[Super Duper Negatron]

The second the Ticats kicked the FG to tie I knew they'd lost.

Back-up QB's have faired well the last few years so hopefully that continues if that scenario plays out.

Yeah, my gut feel was also that Als would move it into FG range, and use up the clock

But the Cats LB had a chance to make a stop, on second down around midfield.

MBT with a good game plan and a defense that gave up only 13 points today...you could do a heck of a lot worse...

[Arnold_Palmer]

I’ve said it for awhile. If Davis Alexander is healthy, Montreal is the best team in the league. We would have had a chance against Hamilton today if we found a way to pull that one out. 

[Brandon]

I kind of feel bad for TI-Cats fans for having such a long drought.

All I could think of was Biggie whiffing in 2022

TiCat fans know how Bomber fans felt during the last few Grey Cups.

I think they knew already from the two before that

Well, in 2019 they got their asses kicked.

right before his hamstring re-injury he made a nice solo run for a first down in the red zone ... and he clowned it up on the sidelines, making big eating spaghetti eating motions at the crowd.    Then he got hurt on the next play.  Felt a little like karma. In conclusion, needs to turn his Madden cinematics down about 25% and I bet he doesn't finish the game next week.
