Calgary, AB - The Calgary Stampeders try to make it 11 straight wins against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers when the two clubs get together at McMahon Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Robert Quinn Jersey . Catch all the action on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4, and TSN5 as the first part of a doubleheader starting at 4pm et/1pm pt. With the West Division title already locked up, not to mention the best overall record for the 2014 regular season, the Stampeders perform in front of the hometown crowd for the last time before the playoffs. The squad has lost just two times in 16 opportunities, bowing to British Columbia and Montreal. Since the 31-15 setback versus the Alouettes, Calgary has rattled off four more victories, the latest of those being a 40-27 romp over Saskatchewan on Oct. 24. Trailing by 12 entering the fourth quarter last Friday night, the Stamps mounted a huge comeback bid in front of the hometown crowd and eventually grabbed the double-digit victory over the visiting Roughriders. Bo Levi Mitchell converted 21-of-31 passes for 231 yards and a TD, while backup signal caller Drew Tate scored on a one-yard run just before the half. With Jon Cornish out of action, Matt Walter took over and posted 69 yards and two TDs on 12 carries for the hosts. While the Calgary defense did surrender close to 400 yards, Jamar Wall came away with one of two interceptions for the Stamps, returning his 50 yards for a major in the final frame. While the Stamps have had an easy time of it this season, the same cannot be said for the Blue Bombers who have won only six of their 17 contests as they enter this, their season finale. The last two months have been particularly brutal for Winnipeg, the one team in the West Division that will be sitting at home after this weekends contest. The squad has dropped eight straight decisions since taking down Montreal in late August, the most recent defeat coming against British Columbia last Saturday, 28-23. Winnipeg actually held a small lead at intermission and was ahead 17-13 heading into the fourth quarter, but the defense then allowed 15 points to the visitors, en route to the five-point loss. Quarterback Drew Willy completed 13 of his 25 pass attempts for 221 yards and a score, but not only was he picked off two times, he also suffered an unsightly 10 sacks. In addition to Willy being taken down so many times behind the line of scrimmage, the Bombers also lost significant field position (104 yards) due to seven penalties. Granted, the teams list of mistakes was not as extensive as BC which committed 22 infractions for a loss of 155 yards, but they were still enough to keep the hosts off balance. Running back Paris Cotton carried the ball 16 times for 131 yards and a score for Winnipeg as well. The back has scored a total of three touchdowns in the last two games, and is now the go-to ball carrier after the program released Nic Grigsby (744 yards, eight TDs in 14 games for the Bombers) per the backs request just weeks ago. While Cotton is the main focus coming out of the backfield for Winnipeg, it will be Willy who handles that passing responsibilities this time around, barring some unforeseen issue. Taking the majority of the snaps for the Bombers in 2014, Willy has thrown for 3,747 yards and 16 TDs, but he has also been picked off 14 times, although four INTs in the season opener against Toronto dug him a considerable hole from which he has been trying to dig his way out of ever since. Willy may be second in the league in passing yards, but clearly the more dominant passer in this matchup is again Mitchell who has the best efficiency rating of any regular starter in the league at 97.2, thanks to his 20 TDs and only eight INTs. As a unit, Calgary is tops in the league in scoring (29.1 ppg), with a good portion of that number stemming from a league-high 24 rushing touchdowns, thanks in part to Jon Cornish who leads the CFL with 977 yards and five TDs on the ground thus far, even though he has missed significant time due to injury. Working right into the hands of Calgary will be a Winnipeg defense which at this stage is the weakest in the league, allowing 27.5 ppg. In terms of the all-time series between the squads, one that takes into account only regular-season meetings dating back to 1945, Calgary is ahead by a count of 103-89 following a 33-23 victory in Winnipeg just a few weeks ago. During that Week 17 matchup, Calgary dropped 15 points in the first quarter and led 16-6 at the break, and from then on the teams played even. The Stamps had Cornish running on all cylinders that game as he posted 160 yards and a score on 21 carries, while Mitchell converted 18-of-28 passes for another 258 yards and two touchdowns, offsetting his two interceptions. The Bombers utilized two quarterbacks in that contest, Brian Brohm and Robert Marve, the former leaving early due to a thumb injury. The pair combined to connect on 19-of-33 throws for 258 yards, but failed to put the ball in the end zone. Instead, it was Cotton who did the honors (twice) as he ran for 108 yards on 14 attempts. Kalen Ballage Dolphins Jersey . The appointment of Boullier continues the behind-the-scenes restructuring at McLaren, who recently brought back former team principal Ron Dennis as its new chief executive. Frank Gore Jersey . Ricciardo made it only halfway around the Jerez track before his RB10 rolled to a stop and began spouting smoke from the back. After team mechanics tended to the car, Ricciardo went back out for a mere two trips around the circuit before calling it quits. http://www.dolphinsauthoritystore.com/Authentic-Durham-Smythe-Dolphins-Jersey/ . Head coach Randy Carlyle confirmed the news after the Leafs morning skate on Monday. Kozun was hurt during Friday nights home game against the Red Wings and did not make the return trip to Detroit for Saturdays game.BOSTON -- Golden State didnt need another winning, last-second basket this time. The Warriors led by at least 20 points throughout the second half and beat the Boston Celtics 108-88 on Wednesday night, showing no letdown one day after edging the Indiana Pacers on a field goal with 0.6 seconds left. Klay Thompson hit that 12-foot turnaround to beat one of the NBAs best teams, 98-96. Against one of the worst, Thompson and David Lee scored 18 points each as the Warriors ended their road trip with a 4-2 record. "This win validates last night," Thompson said. The Warriors were determined not to ease up against much weaker competition than they faced at Indiana, which has the leagues best home record. "It was big for us," Lee said. "The starters really wanted to come out and set the tone tonight and not give the Celtics team any life." That plan worked. The Warriors scored the first six points and led 12-2 with just over five minutes gone as they moved a season-high 14 games over .500 with a 38-24 record. "I read where if we lost this game then that takes away (Tuesdays win). You cannot forget how tough it is to win games in this league," Golden State coach Mark Jackson said. "Fortunately, we did not fall in love with what we did in Indy." The Celtics (20-41) provided little resistance and lost for the seventh time in eight games. "It was a struggle for us," Boston coach Brad Stevens said. "Id like to find something that I could say we were better in, but there wasnt anything." Former Celtic Jordan Crawford had 15 points and Stephen Curry added 14 for the Warriors, who won for the seventh time in nine games. Kelly Olynyk scored 19 points for Boston. "We dont want to keep embarrassing ourselves and that is the mentality we are going to have," Jeff Green said. Lee started the scoring with an 18-footer and Andre Iguodala ffollowed with a layup and a dunk for a 6-0 lead. Albert Wilson Dolphins Jersey. Jerryd Bayless then hit a fadeaway jumper for Boston, but Golden State got the next six points on dunks by Curry and Thompson and a layup by Lee. The game was still competitive when Bayless two free throws cut Golden States lead to 42-33 with 5:55 left in the first half. Then Thompsons 3-pointer began a 19-7 run that gave the Warriors a 61-40 lead at halftime. Baskets by Lee and Andrew Bogut made it 49-33 before Rajon Rondo sank a free throw and Jared Sullinger made two for Boston. But then Golden State scored the next six points on a short jumper by Lee, a dunk by Iguodala and a 16-footer by Curry. A 3-pointer by Green cut the margin to 55-38, but Curry followed with a 3-point play. Rondo answered with a layup before Iguodala finished the first-half scoring with a 3-pointer with 10 seconds remaining. The sloppy Celtics committed 12 turnovers in the first half, leading to 15 points, while the Warriors turned the ball over just twice, leading to two points. "What hurt us more than maybe anything were the turnovers in the first half that led to the dunks that got those guys going," Stevens said. "I didnt think our effort was great." The Warriors took their biggest lead, 31 points, when two straight baskets by Thompson made it 80-49 with just over five minutes left in the third quarter. "Theyre hitting their stride a little bit," Stevens said. Now the Warriors head home for 13 of their remaining 20 games. "We took care of business on the road," Lee said. "Our thought is we shouldnt lose any more games at home." NOTES: Golden State has 20 road wins, tied with Oklahoma City for second most in the NBA. ... Jackson rested his starters in the fourth quarter. ... Rondo had 14 points and seven assists, but also had seven turnovers. ... Lee had a game-high 10 rebounds, while Bogut blocked three shots.
