In all of Sunday's excitement, I forgot to mention that on Sunday, September 28th 2008, not only did the Canadiens-Bulldogs get that preseason game, but both the Impact and the Alouettes won their respective home games that day as well. For the Als, they clinched a playoff spot for the Grey Cup after destroying Saskatchewan 37 to 12 and are currently positioned in 1st place (tied with Calgary for 18 points). The Impact won against Seattle (apparently the previous champions) in a 3-1 game which qualifies them for the USL First Division semifinals. I don't think I ever heard of the Impact scoring more than 0-0 ties... But the Als! The Als really want to be in the Grey Cup, eh? It takes place in November, right here in Montreal.
Tonight, those hockey robots from Detroit are in town. Yannick Weber is still around. Carey Price is in nets. Defence will proceed to take 5 and call it a night. Good luck young man, the rink is yours. May the Schwartz be with you.
