Here we are at the end of the road to the 107th Grey Cup in Calgary and if the Calgary Stampeders weren't going to be in it. This is my consolation match-up. Looking forward at seeing this match-up when I give my preview as these are the two franchises that have the longest Grey Cup droughts in the CFL. Somebody is going to have to win it, right? The Eastern Final pretty much went as expected with the heavily favourited Hamilton Tiger-Cats taking care of the Edmonton Eskimos ending their attempt at being the first crossover team to make it to the Grey Cup. Western Final was a different story as that game was a closer match-up with heated rivals in the Winnipeg Blue Bombers going on the road to take on the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Winnipeg was able to stop Saskatchewan in the red zone and score at critical times to edge out Saskatchewan and continue their magical run to the Grey Cup. This sets up an epic match-up on Sunday, November 24th, 2019 for the 107th Grey Cup in Calgary at McMahon Stadium to see which team and fan base gets to end their lengthy drought. Hamilton is looking for their first championship since 1999 while Winnipeg is looking for their first championship since 1990. Both teams have been to a Grey Cup since their last championship but have suffered some tough defeats in the process. In addition to breaking down the match-up and see who has the edge in the game. I go over the history of playoff games between the two teams and give my feelings at the end on what a win will mean for each city and fan base. Looking forward at seeing this unfold as this is the ninth time that the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Hamilton Tiger-Cats will play for the Grey Cup but it's the first time they've met in the championship game since 1984. My playoff history will also go over divisional match-ups as both teams we're in the same division but this is the first time that these teams will meet in the playoffs since 2011. This match-up has history but been rare in most recent years. Intro: Legend application found on iOS and Google Play.
