Montreal Alouettes, Hamilton Tiger-Cats meet for fourth time this season in East Division semi
Montreal plays host to Hamilton in the CFL East Division semi-final on Saturday at Molson Stadium in a fourth game between the two teams this year – fifth if you include the preseason. 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 think a step ahead and what they may try to do differently, if anything. Those are the cat-and-mouse games,” said Maas, who also referenced a long history of going up against Hamilton defensive co-ordinator Mark Washington and senior assistant Scott Milanovich, who calls the plays on offence.
With the Grey Cup in Hamilton this year, the Ticats loaded up by adding two-time outstanding player Bo Levi Mitchell and running back James Butler, but finished 8-10 after a slow and injury-riddled start to the year. 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.
