MONTREAL — Patrick Levels has fond memories of his two CFL seasons in Montreal.
Down the stretch — the Redblacks have two games left against each of Montreal and Hamilton — there will be plenty of scoreboard watching. Ottawa will be eyeballing what Hamilton, Montreal and Saskatchewan, in particular, do the rest of the season. The Ticats are now two wins up on the Redblacks. The Roughriders, who still could cross over into the East Division playoff picture, are three wins ahead, but have just two games left — both against the very-good Calgary Stampeders.
“I was watching the first half and I was cheering for a tie,” said Redblacks quarterback Nick Arbuckle. “I felt like a tie was probably the best thing that could happen because it keeps from getting another win and it keeps Hamilton from getting the momentum of winning another game. If you’re looking at the standings and seeing what works, the best chance for us to make the playoffs in the position we’re in is to make sure there are three teams from the east that go to the playoffs.
It’s been challenging for Ottawa to score touchdowns in recent weeks, actually, through much of the season. Since its win in Montreal in September, Ottawa has scored three touchdowns in three games. Against the Als last time, the Redblacks scored three touchdowns, but one of them was by their defence on a Montreal fumble. Arbuckle had 313 yards passing. And, in that game, Ottawa forced four turnovers. That’s the sort of effort that’s needed again Monday.
