The 2 game pre season for the CFL came to an end over the weekend as the nine CFL franchises made their final cuts.
The last full contact game was Thursday night and shortly after, those that had dreams would soon be disappointed. Bringing down their rosters to the leauge required 40 players after the two a days, film sessions and grueling exhibition games. The football is played for real Tuesday night, but before we kick off 2004 a look back at the pre-season games, who impressed the coaches and who quickly found gas money in their locker envelopes.
OTTAWA 28, MONTREAL 24
TORONTO 33, HAMILTON 10
SASKATCHEWAN 27, EDMONTON 17
WINNIPEG 29, CALGARY 14
TORONTO 31, HAMILTON 23
SASKATCHEWAN 24, BC 14
MONTREAL 38, OTTAWA 10
BC 39, WINNIPEG 28,
EDMONTON 22, CALGARY 19
On pre season success alone, we should be watching the Argos and the Riders in the Grey Cup game come the third week of November. Both teams were 2 and 0 in the pre season, though Saskatchewan faced the tougher competition of the two teams. But as we know, pre season results are not of much consequence once the regular season kicks off, so the Riders had best put the party plans away for a few months at any rate.
Saskatchewan kicks off the year in Toronto Tuesday night, the long march to November begins at Skydome, for the Riders and the Argos they hope the road leads to Ottawa.
