Receiver S.J. Green played well, filling in nicely for recently retired and longtime-incumbent Ben Cahoon at the slotback position, while John Bowman and Diamond Ferri each recorded a single sack in the game.
Calvillo excelled in the passing game, completing 22 of 30 attempts for 312 yards and Jamel Richardson showed once again why he is arguably the best receiver in the CFL, finding the end zone twice on long scoring plays from 46 and 40 yards out.
The Alouettes’ defence also limited the Lions’ offence to a meagre 60 yards rushing.
Canadian kicker Sean Whyte faced his former team for the first time since being traded during the off-season and had a solid debut with the Alouettes, connecting on three field goal attempts, including one from 48-yards out, after hitting the uprights early.

So Montreal wins a second consecutive Grey Cup and they can't even sell out their home opener, they only get 22,000+. Well they can stop bragging about all their sell outs they always have.

I'm guessing that the Als organization must be getting complacent when it comes to selling tickets. Come on guys, just because you're winning doesn't mean you can let up on the sales and marketing.
Apparently that attitude hasn't infected their football operations side yet.
Heartwarming to once again see Wally lose a football game. There is a GOD!
