Don’t tell Calgary linebacker Micah Awe that Friday night’s game between the Stampeders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers at McMahon Stadium doesn’t mean anything.
Although a victory for Calgary over Winnipeg in the season finale for both teams won’t affect the standings or the playoff picture, Awe said it’s important for the Stampeders to build on the momentum they have established by winning their previous two games to clinch third spot in the CFL’s Western Division and a playoff berth.
“There’s a sense of gratitude among the group right now,” said Maier, who’s listed as Calgary’s starter for the game. “However it happened, it happened and now here we are. “It’s been a roller-coaster but at the same time it teaches you one thing, which is control what you can control and keep working because if you don’t keep working, that guarantees not having an opportunity,” said Awe.Awe, who has 118 defensive tackles, is also aiming to break the team’s single-season record of 123 set by Alex Singleton in 2017 and 2018.
Oliveira leads the CFL with 1,980 yards from scrimmage, so he can crack the 2,000-yard plateau with just 20 more yards either on the ground or through the air. While he hopes to get some touches against the Stamps, Oliveira wants to make sure that he’ll be healthy for the playoffs. “I think coaches are just trying to do what’s best for their team long term,” said Calgary coach Dave Dickenson. “I don’t feel like there’s ever a meaningless game. I think you can get positives or negatives out of every game.
