CALGARY -- The dream scenario for the host city of a Grey Cup is having the home team in it. Pat Tillman Jersey . The Saskatchewan Roughriders made the Regina organizing committee and their fans happy Sunday with a 35-13 upset of the Calgary Stampeders in the West Division final. Chants of "Henry, Henry" rang out in the visitors locker room at McMahon Stadium. Saskatchewan will face the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and quarterback Henry Burris in next Sundays Grey Cup at Mosaic Stadium. The Roughriders will attempt to become the third host team in a row to win the CFLs championship trophy. The Argonauts beat Calgary in Toronto last year to take the Cup and the B.C. Lions won it in Vancouver in 2011. "Thats another part of the storyline, but for us, its about having a Grey Cup at home," Roughrider quarterback Darian Durant said. "We know how hard it is to come to Mosaic for opposing teams. To have forty or forty-five thousand Rider fans, its going to be great." The Ticats punched their ticket to this years championship game with a 36-24 win over the Argonauts in the East Division final earlier Sunday. This years Grey Cup features teams that finished second in their respective divisions and needed to win division semifinals and finals to get there. "We know Rider Nation is fired up," Durant said. "They deserve it and its going to be a fun week." Saskatchewan last played in the Grey Cup in 2009 and 2010 and lost to the Montreal Alouettes in both games. Calgary boasted the best regular-season record in the CFL at 14-4, but could not hang onto the ball Sunday. The No. 1 offence in the regular season turned the football over seven times and had possession of it for just eight minutes and 43 seconds in the first half. "Its hard to explain," Calgary head coach John Hufnagel said. "Obviously were a little bit in shock the way the game unfolded. Having that many turnovers to ruin the game (and) to have that type of tackling by our team, its hard to explain." Trailing 22-6 at halftime, Hufnagel replaced starting quarterback Kevin Glenn with Drew Tate, but the Stampeders managed just one touchdown in the second. Durant completed 24-of-30 passes for 280 yards with touchdown passes to Rob Bagg, Weston Dressler and Chris Getzlaf. Running back Kory Sheets scored on a one-yard touchdown plunge. Kicker Chris Milo made two field goals in the fourth quarter after his first of the game was blocked. Calgarys Rene Paredes made both of his field-goal attempts. Tate threw a touchdown pass to Joe West. Glenn completed 7-of-13 passes for 180 yards and was intercepted twice. Tate was 5 for 11 for 90 yards. Calgary was minus-4 in rushing yards in the first half. Stampeder running back Jon Cornish, the CFLs leading rusher this season, mustered 67 yards in the game. Sheets finished second in rushing to Cornish, but romped for 177 yards Sunday. "Tonight was just about the team winning and team goals," Sheets said. "There was nothing individual, nothing personal." Calgary was without starting defensive tackles Micah Johnson and Demonte Bolden because of knee injuries suffered in the final game of the regular season. The Roughriders keyed on replacements Junior Turner and Freddie Bishop III. "They were missing their two big plugs inside and we knew that going in," Durant said. "We wanted to exploit that, especially with two guys that havent played all year. We knew they werent in the type of shape they needed to be to stop the run." The Roughriders lost both games at McMahon during the regular season, but their most recent Oct. 26 was by just four points. "The games where we played them earlier this season, we felt like we gave them the games," Durant said. "All along, we felt like we were the better team." Calgary had set a franchise record for the fewest turnovers in a season with 27, which was also the second-lowest in league history. But receivers Mo Price, Jeff Fuller and Brad Sinopoli each fumbled after the catch and turned the ball over. With just over four minutes remaining in the game, returner Larry Taylor lost control of a Roughrider punt. Paul Woldu knocked it out of bounds to give the visitors the ball on Calgarys 32-yard line and Saskatchewan converted the turnover to a field goal. Glenn was intercepted twice and also had an attempted touchdown throw to the end zone knocked down in the first half. Calgary also turned the ball over on downs once. "You go from the highest high to the lowest low," Glenn said. "Right now, its pretty low. Saskatchewan had a banner season in takeways with 53 --their second-highest in 17 seasons -- and they made the most of Calgarys errors. Roughrider defensive back Dwight Anderson, who screamed "Calgary sucks" into media microphones after the loss Oct. 26, thought that Stampeders receiver shouldnt have worn long sleeves. "It was a cold-weather game. The ball was going to be slippery," Anderson said. "Guys were wearing sleeves out there so the ball wont sit well on the sleeves. We just had to go after the ball." Kickoff was under a sunny sky and a temperature of minus-8 with an announced 33,174 in the stadium. A light south wind made it feel more like minus-14 and the temperatures dropped as the sun lowered. Saskatchewan beat the Lions in a cold division semifinal at Mosaic last week. Durant felt that battle-hardened his team well for the West final. "I heard the weather was nice here for the past couple weeks and they werent used to playing in this weather," Durant said. "Going out there and practising in Regina and playing against B.C. in basically minus-20, we were ready for this. "We think the weather played a factor in their ball security."

The group of Slava Fetisov, Igor Larionov, Vladimir Konstantinov, Sergei Fedorov, & Slava Kozlov were a dominant force for The Wings at one point in the 90s. http://www.cheaparizonacardinalsjerseysauthentic.com/ . Everton Preview West Ham manager Sam Allardyce has been around the game long enough to not get too high when things are going well and not get too low when they arent.The Winnipeg Jets scored six times in a season-opening win, but the offense has nearly disappeared during the clubs current three- game losing streak. The Jets hope to get back to scoring on Sunday when they welcome the Calgary Flames to MTS Centre. You can listen to the game live on TSN Radio 1290 Winnipeg starting at 5pm CT/6pm ET. Winnipeg recorded a 6-2 win at Arizona to begin the season, but has been outscored by a combined 9-1 margin in losing its next three tilts. The Jets were shut out for the second time in three games on Friday, losing their home opener against Nashville by a 2-0 score. The Jets outshot the Predators 31-27, but had nothing to show for it on the scoreboard. Pekka Rinne made 31 saves to post the shutout for Nashville, while James Neal and Mike Ribeiro scored the goals. Ondrej Pavelec made 25 saves for the Jets, who ranked 15th in the NHL in scoring last season with an average of 2.67 goals per game. After Fridays loss, Winnipeg head coach Paul Maurice suggested his team needs to take a kitchen sink approach to scoring until the offense gets untracked. The simple answer is weve got to put more of the basic stuff to the net so that we can find a way to bang some ugly ones in until the offensive guys get that good feeling around the net, said Maurice. Bryan Little and Blake Wheeler have accounted for five of Winnipegs seven goals this season, with Little leading the way with three markers. The Jets are playing the second part of a five-game homestand tonight. They have only hosted Calgary once in Winnipeg since relocating from Atlanta prior to the 2011-12 campaign, dropping a 5-4 shootout decision against the Flames on Nov. 18 of last season. However, the Jets won the next two meetings in Calgary to take the season series with a 2-0-1 record. Calgary, which relocated from Atlanta after the 1979-80 campaign, had won four straight against the Jets before losing two meetings to end last seasons series. The Flames played Friday night in Columbus and had a two-game winning streak snapped after dropping a 3-2 decision. Calgary did fight hard to get back in the game, scoring twice in the third period after falling behind 3-0 in thee early going. Cheap Arizona Cardinals Jerseys China. Matt Calvert gave the Blue Jackets a three-goal cushion less than eight minutes into the second period, but Mason Raymond and Josh Jooris, making his NHL debut, scored in the third period for the Flames. Calgarys Mark Giordano hit the post with less than two minutes remaining, but the Flames couldnt get the equalizer. We put on quite an effort, but we just couldnt get that tying goal, said Flames head coach Bob Hartley. Karri Ramo gave up three goals on 26 shots for the Flames, who are 2-2-0 on a five-game road trip that ends tonight. Jooris, an undrafted free agent, was recalled Thursday from Adirondack of the American Hockey League and he scored in his first foray into the NHL. Giordano hit Jooris with a stretch pass and the 24-year-old beat Columbus goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky on a breakaway. Hes a good young man. He wants to learn. He brings a lot. Hes responsible defensively and he gave us a big goal, Hartley said of Jooris. Meanwhile, a much more heralded Flames rookie is still looking for his first point of the season. Johnny Gaudreau, the 2013-14 Hobey Baker Award winner as the NCAAs top mens hockey player, has failed to reach the scoresheet in five games this season and was a healthy scratch on Friday when he was replaced in the lineup by Jooris. Gaudreau, a 21-year-old Boston College product, did record a goal in his only NHL game last season, scoring against Vancouver in Calgarys final tilt of 2013-14. Gaudreau could be back in the lineup Sunday after Jooris suffered an upper- body injury against the Blue Jackets. In other news, Calgary defenseman Deryk Engelland missed Fridays game due to a lower-body injury and is questionable for Sundays test.
