CFL Eastern Conterence Final!
Just how much the rest of the CFL's East Division has caught up to the Montreal Alouettes will be played out before a crowd in excess of 56,000 on Sunday.
The 12-6 Alouettes finished first for a third consecutive season since Marc Trestman took over as head coach. But if any team can keep them from a third successive trip to the Grey Cup, it will be the much-improved Toronto Argonauts, who face the Als at Olympic Stadium.
You can see the game on TSN and TSN.ca beginning at 1pm et/10am pt.
The 9-9 Argonauts, who knocked off Hamilton in the East semifinal last week, split their season-series with the Alouettes with two wins apiece.
"A lot is said about whether we match up with this team, but it really doesn't matter to us," Toronto running back Cory Boyd said Saturday. "We believe in our abilities, our game plan and our execution.
"We've proven we can beat the best and this is just another opportunity to showcase our talent and skills."
The Alouettes dominated the CFL last season with a 15-3 record and carried that to a nervy win over Saskatchewan in the Grey Cup. The rest of the East was so weak that the B.C. Lions, fourth in the West, crossed over and beat Hamilton only to be crushed 56-17 in the East final by Montreal.
