I also don't think you can discount (i) how well Ottawa played in the 2016 GC , and (ii) how that loss has made the Stamps even better in 2017. Look at the playcalling by Dickenson and the composure by Bo in the West Final. The defence not breaking after giving up the two early touchdowns. The Argos should be happy just making it to the Grey Cup, the Stamps have been focused on winning it for the past 12 months.

Ha! You're just a young guy -- there have been many more heartbreaking losses over the years... 1990 against the Kings, 1991 against the Oilers... The Stamps losing all of those playoff games in the mid-90's when they were the best team in the league...
