The Alouettes’ turn to party (hard)
Again, on other Montreal-related news, the Montreal Alouettes, our CFA darlings, are playing at the Gray Cup final, this Sunday, starting at 6:30 PM Montreal time. Their opponents will be the Saskatchewan Roughriders, and we’ve already beat the twice this year, so I cross my fingers.
In the last 8 years, the Alouettes have been at the Grey Cup final 5 times, that’s over 75% participation rate (I don’t feel like whipping out my calculator to double-check this), but they’ve won only once. So yeah, I think we’re due for another Grey Cup parade through downtown Montreal. Cause one thing’s for sure, the Canadiens wont be making us parade on Sherbrooke Street this year.
We already had the Impact win their championship this year, to not much fanfare, but if the Als win also, that will make 2 out 3 our “professional” teams winning. Not bad at all.
