Flames and Stamps...what else do you need? maybe the world series, nfl, Hitmen and CIS football

Flames!
ok so the flames appeared to have turned a corner on tuesday with a 2-1 win at home over the washington capitals. they only gave up one goal, killed a 9 minute penalty and Kipper didnt let in the "softy". but it was one game, the flames are in Nashville tonight and are down 3-0. the flames are 2-3-1. c'mon flames

Stampeders!
well another expected win for the other Red and white Calgary club. they defeated the Bombers 37-16 on a decent October saturday night at McMahon stadium. the Bombers clinched a playoff spot at gametime as the Argos lost badly to the Alloettes. the Bombers fell to 6-10, but will host a western team in the east semifinal. The Stamps move to 11-5, 2 points up on the Riders and Leos after those teams won on the weekend. The Eskimoes are 4 points back and will be the crossover team if they lose on Saturday to the Riders. The Stamps can clinch first in the west with a win over lowly Hamilton (3-13) on Friday. but this is the CFL, so anything can happen. I'd expect a Stamps win though.

in the world series of baseball, Tampa Bay is playing Philidelphia. Philidelphia won game 1 in Tampa Bay.

the Hitmen won again last night, and are 11-3, a great start for a team that was expected to struggle with the loss of some key parts.

the Dinos are another Calgary team that is doing well down the stretch. they are in third place in the west conference with a record of 5 wins and 2 losses. in the final game of the reg season, the University of Calgary plays the University of Alberta(1-6) on saturday. the Dinos are garunteed a playoff spot, and will likely host a playoff game.

of course the NFL is also going on, but dont expect me to cover it, haha.

thats all,
Adam

Stamps poised to take first, flames scoring but lack defense

first off, the big turkey day game - Stamps vs Riders.
winner takes the season series and the leg up on the division, loser falls 2 points back of first and in a three way tie for 2nd.
well this game wasn't even close. from the start the Stampeders took a 10-1 lead, after a game of many turnovers, which the Stampeders capitalized on for 27 points, the Riders fell the the Stamps 42-5. the Riders managed to muster more yards passing than the Stamps (not by much) but could only produce a field goal and two singles. 7 turnovers will do that. you can't win turning the ball over.
after the weekend, including an Edmonton win over BC, the Stamps were 10-5, 2 points ahead of BC, Sask, and Edmonton, with the tie breaker in hand vs the Leos and Riders with only three games left.
tonight the 3rd last week started in what was a close game wherein BC defeated Edmonton 42-28, taking the season series en route to a temporary tie with calgary for first. Edmonton will likely finish the weekend in last, as the Riders play the lowly Ticats (who had thier playoff hopes officially extinguished last week), im giving the riders a win there. Calgary plays Winnipeg tomorrow, and with a win over the 6-9 Bombers will move back into sole possetion of first

The Stampeders can win the division with 2 wins in their last 3 games garunteed. they finish the season vs Winnipeg, Hamilton and BC.

as for the Flames, the picture isn't quite the same, albeit early on.
the Flames have played 4 games and have a record of 1-2-1, after falling to rival Edmonton tonight 4-3. they play a return match in Edmonton tomorrow night. the Flames have scored alot lately, but theyve given up over 4 goals a game on average so far.
luckily there are still 78 games left to turn it around.

in Baseball the Phillies are in the world series, awaiting the winner of the Boston Red Sox and the Tampa bay Rays.

thats all for now, im off to the Stamps vs Bombers game tomorrow

HOCKEY! and CANADIAN FOOTBALL! and baseball playoffs, and nfl, and various college sports....yay for October

alright first off, the Stampeders. they finished off the Argos two weeks ago, then proceeded to lose to the Riders in an offensive shootout this past friday 44-41, dropping to 9-5 on the season both teams played well, it came down to a fumble and an interception late in the game for the Riders, as they took advantage and the Stamps ran out of time, failing to convert an onside kick after scoring a touchdown to make it a 3 point game. the Riders pulled into a tie with the STamps and the Lions, who beat the Argos (no suprise there). the Esks beat up the Bombers to pull to within 2 points of the rest of the west. In the suprise of the weekend, Hamilton beat Montreal in what was a great, well played game by both teams (on offence at least) to keep thier slim playoff hopes alive, now 4 points back of Winnipeg with 4 games remaining.
should be an interesting finish, the STamps play the Riders again on thanksgiving, im looking forward to thanksgiving...a day off, two football games and of course turkey!

as for the Flames, they finished up the preseason with an overtime victory over the Oilers 4-3, to finish the preseason at 5-2. the Flames open up the regular season this very thursday in Vancouver. the Nhl has officially kicked off with 2 games in Europe on saturday, but the rest of the teams start this week in North America.
with the Hockey season starting this week, its time for my picks for the season. I was away most of last season (and the summer) so its really just my guess of how things will go, but who really knows anyways...its a long season, anything can happen.
