Hamilton, ON - The Hamilton Tiger-Cats look for back-to-back wins for the first time this season when they entertain the Edmonton Eskimos at Tim Hortons Field on Saturday night. Deadrin Senat Jersey . You can catch all of the action live on TSN 1, 3, 4 and 5 at 7pm et/4pm pt. Hamilton has won a total of just three games in 10 opportunities this season, failing to deliver consecutive victories at any point. The Tiger-Cats actually have the same number of points earned as both Montreal and Toronto, but Hamilton has a game in-hand after shocking Saskatchewan last weekend at home, 28-3. Enjoying their best defensive effort of the season by far, the Ticats also have to keep in mind that they were going up against a backup quarterback in Tino Sunseri, after Darian Durant went down with an injury the week prior. The Hamilton defense saw an opportunity and went on the attack, limiting the backup signal caller to a mere 9-of-21 passing for 88 yards and an interception. The unit sacked Sunseri five times and limited the Roughriders to only 201 yards of total offense. One of those sacks was credited to linebacker Taylor Reed who finished with a total of seven stops, on his way to being named the CFL Defensive Player of the Week on Monday. Zach Collaros was in charge of the Hamilton offense yet again, converting 29- of-36 passes for 287 yards and a pair of TDs, both of them going to Luke Tasker who had just three total receptions. Special teams played a prominent role in the win as well for the Ticats, with kicker Justin Medlock accounting for nine points and returner Terrell Sinkfield bringing back a punt 57 yards for a major. Sinkfield, who fielded 12 punts and generated 151 yards on those returns, as well as another 16 on a kickoff return, was named the CFL Special Teams Player of the Week for his efforts. While the Tiger-Cats were charging toward a lopsided win, putting an end to a two-game slide, Edmonton was also halting a two-game losing streak as it topped Montreal at home in a 33-16 final last Friday night. Edmonton, which is tied for second place in the West Division standings with Saskatchewan, started off the meeting slow, but came on in the fourth quarter by scoring 21 points. Quarterback Mike Reilly was back in the saddle and recorded a pair of rushing touchdowns in the final period to push his team back into the win column. Reilly, who finished second on the team with 56 net rushing yards, also connected on 22-of-32 passes for 271 yards. Although he was held out of the end zone, Adarius Bowman caught 10 passes for 131 yards, both of which were game highs for the receiver. The Edmonton offense produced 458 yards, just slightly more than double that of the Alouettes who tallied 228 yards on 63 snaps. Bowman has become the premier pass catcher in the CFL this season, his 75 receptions and 997 yards easily distancing himself from the pack. Bowman may be tied with British Columbias Emmanuel Arceneaux for the league lead in receiving TDs with six, but he has more than twice as many catches and close to 400 more yards than his counterpart for the Lions. Because of the efforts of Bowman and his teammates, Edmonton is currently ranked second in the league in scoring after 12 weeks of action with 26.7 ppg, while the Cats are in the bottom third of that list with 22.1 ppg. Although it may not be a clear indication of how well a team performs, the fact that the Eskimos are at the top of the chart in time of possession (30:59 per game) and Hamilton is bringing up the rear (24:11), could have an influence on this weeks meeting. Edmonton won the first meeting of the season between the clubs with a 28-24 victory in Week 2 at home. In that contest, the Esks survived 11 penalties, for 102 yards, by intercepting three passes and recovering three fumbles. It also helped greatly that kicker Grant Shaw converted four of his six field goal tries and finished with 16 points overall. The Tiger-Cats used a trio of quarterbacks as Jeremiah Masoli, Dan LeFevour and Collaros combined to hit just 17-of-34 passes for 241 yards and a single touchdown, while being sacked four times In terms of the all-time series, taking into consideration only regular-season meetings dating back to 1961, Edmonton now leads by a count of 55-30-1 with three wins in the last four matchups. Brandon Fusco Jersey . The $145.7-million Tim Hortons Field was slated to open this month, a year before it was to host all 32 mens and womens soccer competitions. The delay has forced the Hamilton Tiger-Cats football team to use a smaller facility for the first two home games of the season. Ito Smith Falcons Jersey .

Osasunas Alvaro Cejudo drove the ball onto the crossbar in the fifth minute and his team squandered several long-range strikes before he was denied one-on-one by goalkeeper Jaime Jimenez in the 50th.Got a question on rule clarification, comments on rule enforcements or some memorable NHL stories? Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca. Hi Kerry, Ive reffed a lot of hockey, but I saw something in Team Canadas semifinal loss to Geneva in the Spengler Cup that Ive never seen before. Canada came all the way back from a 5-0 deficit and with about a minute left it was 6-5 Geneva with the faceoff in their end. Canada pulled their goalie and somehow ended up with seven players on the ice for the faceoff. Before the puck was dropped and before play resumed the refs called a too many men penalty against Canada. They then moved the faceoff to the opposite end of the ice into Canadas end and put them shorthanded..virtually ending Canadas chance of tying the game. In my knowledge of the rules this cant be done. I know this is European professional hockey but is there a specific rule that says that is a penalty? Thanks, Clayton Brown --- Hi Kerry, I would really like to hear your thoughts on the penalty to Canada with 30 seconds left in the Spengler Cup semifinal game. I believe the call was too many men/delay of game? Have you ever seen anything like it before? Ryan, Moncton, NB --- Clayton and Ryan: I have never seen a more absurd application of too many men/delay of game rule as the bench minor penalty that was assessed to Team Canada with 35 seconds remaining in a one-goal game at the Spengler Cup. The written rule that pertains to line change procedure (5 second rule for teams to make a line change during a stoppage of play) is almost identical between the IIHL and NHL rule books. If appears there is a major difference however in how the IIHF referees, or those at the Spengler Cup, are instructed to enforce a potential infringement of IIHF rule 412—Change of Players During Stoppage of Play. The (automatic?) bench penalty assessed to Team Canada coach Guy Boucher, when he inadvertently placed seven players on the ice for an attacking end zone faceoff with just 35 seconds remaining in regulation time, defies any common sense application of the playing rules and even how the rule is written. Similar to the NHL version, IIHF Rule 412 provides that following a stoppage of play, the referee in the neutral zone conducts the line change by allowing the visiting team five seconds to make a player change. He then raises his hand to signal that the visiting team can no longer make a change and allows the home team five seconds to make a change if they so desire. (In the NHL the Home team is allowed eight seconds). When a team attempts to make a player change after its allotted period of time, the Referee shall send the player(s) back to the bench and issue a warning to the coach. Any subsequent infraction of this procedure at any time during the course of the game shall result in the team receiving a bench minor penalty (IIHF rule 92. Isaiah Oliver Jersey. . I am uncertain if Guy Boucher had been warned previously for a slow or improper line change. Even if that had been the case, my common sense and experience would dictate that with 35 seconds remaining in a one-goal game it was not the time for me to become overly officious and lay the hammer down. The spirit of a rule must be considered and balanced with sound judgment as to when it must be applied throughout a game. A bench minor penalty assessed in this situation did not serve the best interest of the game and either the referee or his superiors that instructed him to do so should rethink their position. The primary purpose of this rule is intended to speed up play and not allow a coach to stall during key times or situations in a game in order to rest players that he might want on the ice or alter the game momentum. It allows the home team the advantage of last change to match lines and is intended to prevent further delays in this regard. The NHL implemented the rule following a study which timed the lengthy delays that occurred between the whistle ending a play and until the linesman dropped the puck for the next faceoff. There is a big difference between coaches that defy a referee by placing additional players on the ice after his allotted time and the initial confusion Boucher demonstrated at having an additional player on the ice in this crucial situation. Following the bench penalty imposed against Team Canada, Chris McSorley, coach of Geneve, then decided to take a 30-second timeout as was his right but it was a move that further delayed the resumption of play. One of the referees responsibilities for conducting a line change is to ensure that the team has the correct number of players on the ice. If I, as the referee, allowed a team to have an extra player on the ice through a line change I would take it as a personal failure of my duties and simply ask the coach to remove the player of his choice in order to resume the game. On many occasions I had to warn a visiting coach that sent six players onto the ice for a change (one extra D-man) prior to seeing who the home club placed on the ice. It never got to the point where I had to assess a bench penalty. On this play, it was actually Coach McSorley who awakened the referee to the fact that Canada had seven players on the ice and resulted in the penalty call. There must be a level of common sense implemented when enforcing the playing rules. In this case, whoever is responsible for this nonsensical application needs to rethink the spirit and purpose of the rule as it pertains to the best interest of the participants and the game at large. Cmon Ref and everyone at TSN extend our very best wishes for a Happy New Year to all.
