Season Opener : BC Lions vs STAMPEDERS

[getbak]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that helicopter shot of downtown at night wasn't live.


Man, that was one hell of a first half performance by Cornish. He's going to be giving a lot of money to the Red Cross tonight.

[Bertuzzied]

What an awesome start to the CFL! 2 awesome games and now a crushing of cocky ass BC. Suck it Lions and Corey Banks!

Awesome first half for the Stamps. Cornish is a beast with 111 yards rushing in the first half. So far he's untouchable. Drew Tate i think is playing good and making good decision so far. Other than a couple of bad passes he's been solid. The speedsters Joe West and Mo Price already scored TDs. One for Mo and two for West. I think the OLine are doing a great job opening holes for Cornish and also Tate some time. So far, young centre Brett Jones and the addition of Federkeil been good. Federkeil is making Tsoumpas a lot easier since they don't double team him in this game.
On defense, the bookends Charleston Hughes and Shawn Lemon are frustrating BC's OLine and Travis Lulay with their speeds. DB hasn't been tested much tonight.
Special team : I am very impress with this Hecht guy. He seems to be on Tim Brown's a$& all night.

As a Lions fan, I have to say that if this is going to be a blowout, I want Cornish to rack up 300 yards just so he can give all that money to the Red Cross. Stamps fans are lucky to be able to cheer for such a humble and selfless individual.

As for the game itself, this isn't what I was expecting. I knew the Lions were going to have some troubles on the O-Line, but this is out of hand. Huge huge props to the Stamps. Their defense is stingy.

[PeteLFan]

Stampeders better turn this thing around right now.

[OzSome]

Well, BC just scored a couple of TDs..one on offense and one on defense. It was one of those lame duck pass by Drew Tate that Lions defender intercpted.

[OzSome]

TD Cornish!!

Stamps have success in this game whenever Cornish is involved. BC defense have to worry whether the Stamps will run the ball or pass it.

[MissTeeks]

I forgot just how much of a beast Cornish is. Keep raising that money for the Red Cross, Johnny!

[OzSome]

The real Sack Master Charleston Hughes strikes again. That's 3 for tonight. Love that move he made on Olafioye.

[OzSome]

Woohoo!! Stamps won!!

Top Player tonight.

Tate was good but did he ever make his receivers work hard for some of their catches

He ended up throwing in an extra $80 to bring it to an even $2,000: http://www.stampeders.com/article/co...o-flood-relief

I didn't see the game and was wondering how Brett Jones did last night?

[Da_Chief]

From reading other sources and watching highlights, Jones was great. TSN highlights show him snapping the ball, taking his initial block then heading upfield picking up another block to create a wide open lane for Cornish's 2nd TD.

Man, we're loaded with NI talent.

With an exception of 1 play, Jones was excellent. He played like a veteran. I really like the additions of Jones and Federkeil.

[PeteLFan]

The line was great and dominated a fierce bc front 4 which is usually how they win.

This team will go as far as Cornish can take them, because Tate and his arm strength of a 10 year old girl won't get us far.

I like to think that we have the best NI in the league, only BC and Montreal are close. It's pretty easy to tie Canadian talent to on field success and Hufnagel and the stamps have done a great job drafting and developing.

^^^well except last year...
