This game is almost sold out. Only a few dozen seats remain. Is anyone going to Montreal?

I was waiting for you to start this thread because you started the semi-final thread.
I am going to the game on Saturday, then off to the Grey Cup the morning of November 13.

This is going to be a great match-up for the East Final IMO.
Two deep, talented teams. Both with high powered offences but also some very good D talent.
Could be a high scoring affair like the Semi, but you never know? I don't think Kelly can expect to just throw all day to wide-open receivers against that (league best, IMO) Als secondary. I hope the Argos test the Als D with plenty of run. And the Argo D has to be able to do something different than last week to stop a strong, pass heavy attack, and Fajardo is a real run threat (where Dru Brown just is not).
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgooooos !!!

Thanks Will. Happy to do it. I don't post as much as others and certainly not as much on the X's and O's although I do understand the game. Enjoy Montreal and all of it's trappings. You are not on a business trip like the team is.

CFL Picks are in by the writers/staff. Split decisions for both games. Not surprising.

Montreal's defence has struggled against the run this season so I expect that the Argos will run the ball much more on Saturday than they did this past Saturday.

But they did a good job against Oliviers in the season finale against Winnipeg. It will be quite the chess game.

The Argos are hosting a viewing party in the BMO Club for lucky ST holders. Drinks and food provided! They have held other events before, but I haven’t made the cut, luckily I got invited to this one. Anyone else going?

Thanks, I'll actually just be going for the day from Kingston. I didn't want to spend for another hotel room given the turnaround from this to Grey Cup.

Personally, I'll be watching from Hoops on Bremner. Have Leaf tickets afterward so here's hoping that the 4 of us in our Argo gear at a Leafs/Habs game are getting congratulated and not mocked.
Game wise: I'm curious how the Als set up to stop Chad and Co. I think that the whole game hinges on that and whether or not we can get to Cody.
