MONTREAL — The Montreal Alouettes and Hamilton Tiger-Cats should know each other inside and out by now.
Montreal hosts Hamilton in the CFL East Division semifinal on Saturday at Molson Stadium in a fourth game between the two teams this year — fifth if you include the pre-season. It’s also the third straight year they’ve met at this stage of the playoffs, with Montreal winning at home last time out.
“You try to go back and forth a little bit, each coach does, each coordinator does, about what they've done in the past, what you can do to be a step ahead, or if your plan's sound and what you have to adjust.The Alouettes came second in the East with an 11-7 record to exceed expectations after undergoing full-scale changes, from ownership to starting quarterback, last off-season.
Hamilton hasn’t had the same consistency, but has shown a higher upside than Montreal by beating Winnipeg and B.C. this season. The Ticats have also had a stronger second half since Milanovich took over play-calling duties from former OC Tommy Condell."It's likely to be a battle and could come down to the last possession,” said Ticats president of football operations and head coach Orlondo Steinauer.
An offence with him, a strong receivers group — including all-star wideout Austin Mack — and 2021 CFL rushing yards leader William Stanback, should still be enough to cause issues for a Hamilton defence that ranked sixth in opponent net offence.
