The CFL's road to the Grey Cup begins its post season run through Montreal and Edmonton this weekend, as the Eskimos and Alouettes play host to the CFL Semi Finals.
Montreal hoping to regroup from what surely was their worst effort in the Trestman era last week in Vancouver, where the Als were thoroughly embarrassed with but one point to show on their day. The Tiger Cats who were no great shakes of their own in Toronto, at least come into Sunday's semi final with the knowledge that the Als can be taken down. Montreal of course, will be looking to reverse whatever bad karma travelled back east from their loss in Vancouver, setting the scene for what could be a very entertaining game.
In Edmonton, it's another Battle of Alberta to entertain is on Semi Final Sunday, both the Stamps and the Esks had designs on first in the West last weekend, the Stamps holding up their end of the quest by holding on against a late charging Bombers team. Likewise the Esks, withstood Saskatchewan's final charge of the season, securing the hosting rights for the Western semi final. Setting the scene for what should be an intense afternoon of football.
