Providing they spaced out the timeline between the Lobster feed and the football game, both the Stampedes and Ti Cats will be hoping for a positive result from today's match up in Moncton.
Touchdown Atlantic returns again this year, with Hamilton and Calgary the guests of honour, a full week of events, occasional practices and more seafood than probably either team has seen for a long, long time, all of the festivities coming to an end with today's game at Moncton stadium.
Hamilton which has been on a losing skid for a couple of weeks now is probably getting a little nervous watching the Alouettes once again pulling away from them in the CFL east, the Als securing second place again yesterday with an eye on first, while the Argos showed signs of life from below with their win over Winnipeg on Saturday, leaving the Cats to have to watch up and down the standings for the final month of October leading into November's playoffs.
Calgary too has been inconsistent of late, interchanging impressive wins with worrisome losses, mental miscues, turnovers and such marking the negatives, while on the other side of that spectrum when the Stamps are good they look very good and dominating, the problem for coach John Hufnagel is he never seems to know which team is coming out on the field on any given day.
The two points up for grabs today could very well be the difference in the last week of October, letting them slip away could be a most costly thing for one of the two teams in Moncton today.
