october sports update

Flames
better then usual start to the season for the flames as they are fighting for the division and continue to score like mad(except the last two 4-1 losses).
its early but iginla and langkow are playing great early on. the flames have 15 points after 16 games.
not coming as a suprise is the edmonton oilers who are in last place in the league at this point. columbus, st louis and l.a. are doing suprisingly well in the west along with carolina in the east. there are alot of new teams in the top 8s but the first 20 games doesnt give a good read on how good the team are.
stampeders
Finally the playoffs are here!! the last 3 games have been essentially meaningless but still entertaining at least. the stamps blew it tonight in bc 25-24 but easily couldve won with numerious backup players in. sankey looked great at qb throwing 3 qbs and over 300 yards. some bad calls by the refs and lacklustre coaching/defensive play hurt them.the riders got thier butts kicked today by toronto, who i could see easily winning the east final.
the stamps play the riders at mosaic stadium in regina on sunday the 11th at about 2pm. the winner plays the west champion lions in bc the next sunday. winnipeg at home vs montreal in the east with the winner heading to toronto
playoff prediction: calgary vs toronto in the grey cup
in other calgary sports the hitmen won tonight 4-1 and continue to battle for the lead in the division.
the u of c dinos football team got embarrased by the manitoba bisons in the playoffs 27-5 in winnipeg.
the nll almost cancelled its season but it will go on in january=good news for the roughnecks
busy month in sports as the nfl kicked off and boston beat the cinderalla colorado rockies to win the world series 4-0.
the flames play in colorado tomorrow.
