Mallett runs wild in win over Als
Courtesy Toronto Star: Some hard running by Martell Mallett set up Emmanuel Arceneaux’s winning touchdown catch late in the fourth quarter as the B.C. Lions defeated the Montreal Alouettes 19-12 Friday night in a wild victory that moved Wally Buono into a tie as the winningest coach in the CFL. Mallett set up the winning [...]

Als lose tough one at BC Place
Courtesy Montreal Gazette: It played out according to plan – just as it always does when the Alouettes venture to this city. And yes, it was a crazy game, as it usually is when these teams meet at B.C. Place Stadium. Montreal’s string of futility at B.C. Place Stadium remains intact after the Als lost, [...]

Trestmania’s taking hold in Montreal
Courtesy Regina Leader Post: In an eight-team league where you meet each one at least twice per season, it would be hard not to know at least something about the other head coaches. Based on getting to the Grey Cup as a rookie coach, Marc Trestman of the Montreal Alouettes would have turned everyone’s head, [...]

Als place Proulx on the 9 game injured list
Courtesy Montreal Gazette: The story has now come full circle. Etienne Boulay was the Montreal Alouettes’ starting safety before an unsuccessful tryout with the New York Jets last season. And now, he is again, after Matthieu Proulx on Monday was placed on the nine-game injured list, with a torn medial collateral ligament in his left [...]

Defence holds off Roughriders
Courtesy Montreal Gazette: It was a night of firsts for the wily old Alouettes veteran and the rookie quarterback. Slotback Ben Cahoon, the ageless 37-year-old, finally scored his first touchdown this season, while quarterback Chris Leak, in his second year with the Als but playing his first professional game, passed for a touchdown on his [...]

Alouettes hold off Roughriders
Courtesy Regina Leader Post: The Saskatchewan Roughriders had to settle for a moral victory instead of one that counts in the CFL standings. The Riders adopted that stance after losing 34-25 to the Montreal Alouettes on Friday at Molson Stadium. The Alouettes improved to 7-1, good enough for first in the East Division and the [...]

Respect on both sides
Courtesy Montreal Gazette: Eddie Davis and Ben Cahoon are more passing acquaintances than friends despite their veteran status in the CFL. They are among the league’s longest-serving players after having started their CFL careers in the 1990s. Cahoon joined the Montreal Alouettes after being selected in the first round (sixth overall) in the 1998 CFL [...]

Perseverance pays off for Als’ Bowman
Courtesy Montreal Gazette: It’s the classic story of perseverance, determination and dedication. Of playing anywhere, in any league, often for nothing much more than pocket change. “I had no choice. I still had football in my system,” said rush-end John Bowman, in his fourth season with the Alouettes, but a man who has generated little [...]

Trestman has the faith
Courtesy Montreal Gazette: It was a different time and place, the conditions drastically altered. But it was hard on this night not to allow the mind to drift, drawing some sort of parallel. In September 2005, an Alouettes team coached by Don Matthews scored late in the fourth quarter at B.C. Place Stadium – a [...]

Bombers blown out by Als
Courtesy Winnipeg Free Press: The Winnipeg Blue Bombers can spin it, sugar-coat it and insist until they are bright red in their collective mugs that they are oh-so- close to putting it all together. Sorry, fellas, even the most fervent diehard ain’t buying that load of bunk right now. In fact, based on the evidence [...]
