With the CFL season starting less than two weeks away, it’s time to preview the season. In the first of a four part series, it’s time to take a look at the teams in the Eastern Division.
Montreal Alouettes
The Alouettes are going for a three-peat in 2011. After winning the Grey Cup the last two years, head coach Marc Trestman’s name came up several times over the off-season as a possible candidate at the University of Miami and the Oakland Raiders. Well, Al Davis settled on Hue Jackson, and the Hurricanes on Al Golden.
Trestman has proven a great ability to win with a veteran team, however I feel he did make a couple of key mistakes in terms of strategy on the sidelines last year.
Another key storyline for the Alouettes is regarding the health of quarterback Anthony Calvillo. The three-time CFL MVP is feeling great after undergoing treatment for thyroid cancer.
The Alouettes’ most significant off-season signing was cornerback Dwight Anderson from the Calgary Stampeders. The native of Spanish Town, Jamaica was third in the CFL last year with five interceptions.
In the kicking game, Sandro DeAngelis replaces Damon Duval who went to Edmonton. DeAngelis was surprisingly released by Hamilton on May 24.

This is one weekend that is marked on every Canadian sports fan’s calendar from coast to coast. On Sunday, the 98th Grey Cup Game will take place at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, and for the second consecutive year the teams will be the Saskatchewan Roughriders (10-8) and Montreal Alouettes (12-6).
This will be the third time that a team from Montreal and a team from Regina would have played in the Grey Cup. In 1931, the Montreal AAA Winged Wheelers defeated the Regina Rams 22-0 to win the 19th Grey Cup Championship. It was the first Grey Cup where a forward pass was allowed and the first title game where a point could be scored from a drop kick or place kick. The Wheelers recorded three touchdowns from Pete Jotkus, Kenny Grant and Wally Whitty en route to the shutout.
Then last year, the Montreal Alouettes squeaked out a dramatic 28-27 win. Saskatchewan thought they won it when Alouette kicker Damon Duval missed a last second field goal, but amazingly they had 13 men on the field, and Duval was allowed to rekick, and drained a 33 yard attempt.

This weekend we’ll find out the answer to major question on many Canadian sports’ fans minds.
Who will play in the 98th Grey Cup next Sunday in Edmonton?
The Montreal Alouettes and the Toronto Argonauts will battle in the Eastern Final at Montreal’s Olympic Stadium (Sunday, 11am, TSN), and the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Calgary Stampeders will duel at McMahon Stadium in Calgary for the Western Final (Sunday, 2:30pm. TSN).
In the East, the Alouettes are disappointed they only had three players selected to the CFL All-Star Team– guard Scott Flory, linebacker Chip Cox and defensive end John Bowman.
It will be interesting to see how Montreal rebounds after losing 30-4 to Toronto in the final week of the regular season. I know Anthony Calvillo, Ben Cahoon, Kerry Watkins, S.J. Green, Jamel Richardson and Avon Cobourne were not in the lineup, but it will be interesting to see how the Alouettes respond after their major offensive core haven’t played since October 29.
