Okay here's what happened. Montreal punted the ball. Winnipeg caught it and he figured he is not going anywhere and saw another Bombers player so he did a lateral pass. That Bombers player punted the ball back with one other Bomber was onside. They are hoping that guy who would have recover the ball and bring it home. Montreal player caught it. To me he could have just run the ball or go down there. What this guy did is the one I am questioning.... why would he punt it back??? He is lucky the Bombers player caught it instead of sailing to the end zone. If that ball sailed to the end zone, Bombers would have scored a single point and Montreal loses by 1. O'Shea was ticked off because that Bomber player was about to kick the ball again (actually I can't even remember if the ball got kicked again). There was no need for the Als player to kick that ball again. It was a stupid thing to do. The game was tied with less than a minute left.
I see your question regarding the first Bombers punt it was not necessary but I think they were trying some trickery play and trying for that guy(I think it was Flanders or something) that was onside to recover the ball and hopefully go all the way and get the ball to FG range with a few seconds left. He was not punting it back to score a single. I wouldn't mind that play at all. If it works perhaps they win without playing OT.

Montreal would of got the point had it went thru the end zone
