The Grey Cup is live with the Calgary Stampeders and Hamilton Tiger-Cats playing in the 102nd edition of the game for the CFL championship and this ends the 2014 Canadian Football League season and the matchup is from BC Place Stadium in Vancouver in British Columbia and starts at 6 pm ET from TSN and RDS for the live stream.
This will give a new champion for the fifth straight season and the Stampeders come in after being one of the best teams in the league this season. The team won over the Edmonton Eskimos in a big blowout with a 43-18 score and now they are ready to play for the Cup. Bo Levi Mitchell had five total touchdowns in the game and the Stampeders have continued to show their dominance on defense as well and now they matchups with the Ti-Cats.
Hamilton comes in after getting a win against the Montreal Alouettes and that saw two touchdowns from Brandon Banks and Nic Grigsby in the game and now they are into the final. These two teams have played before in this game back in 1999 against each other and that was the last time Hamilton won, while the Stampeders won in 2008 and now are looking to take it again.
The Stampeders won the two matchups between these teams this season, but the Grey Cup is a totally different animal and this would give Hamilton the biggest win of the three matchups. Calgary has been playing well coming in and they have won six of the last seven games and in that time they are allowing just 20 points per game and they are the favorites coming in. The team overall is second in points allowed this season and they were more impressive in the regular season as well.
Last season the team won 14 games but lost in the playoffs and now Calgary comes in while averaging nearly 40 points per game. Jon Cornish is one of the key players, as he has helped the team average over 140 yards on the ground per game and he led the league in rushing for three straight season. Last season the Saskatchewan Roughriders won over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for the Grey Cup and now the Ti-Cats get the chance to get things done after previously losing.
Cornish and Mitchell obviously are key and this should be a close matchup with the Ti-Cats coming in playing well from last week. The team has confidence and the stage of the Cup will not be a big deal for either side, as they each have played in big games before. Cornish won the most outstanding player away and had over 1,000 yards and any chance for Hamilton comes with trying to stop him.
