http://www.2009greycupfestival.com/Grey Cup was hosted by Calgary this year between Sask Rough Riders and Montreal Allouetes. Although you would not know that there was another side playing besides the roughriders - as there was green all over Calgary over the weekend! The weekend started with a parade - led by Elisha Cuthbert (originally a Calgary girl and plays a Calgary Flames player).
Shan won tickets to see the game being played on the saddledome. So we went to watch and sadly there wasn't a big turnout. I guess when the stampeders are not in the cup - who wants to watch?!
The last five minutes of the game - was to me, one of the most interesting sports moments ever. A touchdown was played by Montreal in the last five minutes and they needed to kick a goal to win. They had the chance to win it - by having a kick at goal once the time had stopped or was close to stopping. the kicker missed. Sask had won the game. the crowd went wild.
and then tragedy.
too many players on the field for sask. 13 players on the field.
penalty for Montreal - a second chance at goal AND closer.
they kicked a goal and the game was won by Montreal to the dismay of the roughrider fans in the stadium.
