Montreal VS Edmonton Eastern Semi-final-final update

November 15, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Well the Als pulled it off, hats off to Edmonton who put it on early in the game. Unfortunately for the Eskies, there defence let AC get into rhythm and when that happens it’ll take more than a skipped beat to stop the Alouettes offensive heart from beating. They finals score was 36-26, with the Larry Taylor returning two punts for a touchdown. Something the Alouettes have not done in the playoffs in a long time. Alouettes head coach Marc Trestman was the spotlight of media ridicule early in the season, when many CFL experts predicted that he would not be able to convert the gamestyles from the NFL to the CFL. Well he proved all critics wrong this season, the Alouettes locked up the east division with three (3) games left in the regular season, they were able to rest all their important players with AC getting 20 days off. His hybrid schemes confused everybody, even his own players in the beggining but the confusion payed off, giving the Alouettes one of the most diversified playbooks the CFL has ever seen. The Als defence finally figured out Edmonton’s offensive schemes, early enough to clog the holes and give the right to host the grey cup. Calvillo had a great game, so did Richardson and obviously Taylor, there are many unsung heroes when a team can make it to the big dance. Hopefully they will all be recognized when the Als countdown the clock on how much time they have, until they can celebrate with the grey cup.
