While Montreal has been a succesful organization and top flight football team for the last decade, this Lions team for 2006 is the ultimate CFL machine. There's no weakness to be found on this squad, from a Dave Dickenson at the top of his game, to the remarkable Geroy Simon and his fellow corps of receivers and an ordinary Joe that does nothing ordinary with a running game, offensively these Lions have all the weapons. The offensive line has a mission this Grey Cup Sunday, keep Dave Dickenson in the game, they'll be on the job and keeping the faith with the promise.
Defensively you enter their turf at your peril, from the front line and the linebackers to some of the best DB's in the league, opposition teams this year learned a hard truth, there's no easy way to the Lions end zone.
Wally Buono is the template for success when it comes to coaching, his credentials from his days in Calgary, through to his time in Vancouver spell out one of the best football minds the CFL has seen.
This Lions squad has been the showcase team of his time in BC, they have bought into his proram and stand poised to reach that ultimate prize. They offer up a true team effort, all for one, one for all as they say.
While Montreal will put up a good fight, Anthony Calvillo wouldn't have it any other way, you can't help but think this has to be the year of the Lion. They were simply the class of the league this 2006 season, they not only deserve to be the Grey Cup Champions they will work hard til the last whistle to reach that goal.
BC 35, Montreal 24
Dave Dickenson is your MVP
Brent Johnson is your Best Canadian
David Braley gets his reward for his work with the Lions (and perhaps keeping the CFL alive all these years)
Enjoy the game!
