CALGARY - The Calgary Stampeders are a win away from capping a stellar season with a Grey Cup.After matching the franchises best record of 15-3, Calgary will play the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the CFLs championship game Nov. 30 in Vancouver. The Stampeders were efficient and versatile in a 43-18 win over the Edmonton Eskimos in Sundays West Division final. With the Eskimos limiting the top rushing offence in the league, the Stampeders won it in the air.Calgary claimed the Grey Cup in John Hufnagels first year as head coach and GM in 2008.Upset losses at home in the West final to Saskatchewan in 2010 and 2013 — when Calgarys records were 13-5 and 14-4 respectively — were deflating conclusions to outstanding campaigns.Despite a regular-season record of 88-37-1 in Hufnagels seven seasons at the helm, Calgarys only other appearance in a Grey Cup was in 2012 when they lost to the Toronto Argonauts.Weve been working for so long and weve experienced so much disappointment, Stampeder running back Jon Cornish said. I want to win this Grey Cup, not for personal gain, but for every single person in this locker-room, every single person on the support staff and every single coach. Theyre the people that deserve this.The Stampeders went 15-3 three straight seasons from 1993 to 1995, but did not win the Grey Cup under Wally Buono.Stampeder quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell threw a pair of touchdown strikes to Eric Rogers, had touchdown throws to Cornish and Marquay McDaniel and ran the ball in for a TD of his own against the Esks.Cornish scored his second touchdown of the game on a two-yard run late in the fourth quarter. The CFLs rushing leader was held to 54 yards on 14 carries, but Cornish made his impact in the game as a receiver.He totalled 120 yards on four catches. One of them was a 78-yard rumble for a touchdown in the second quarter.Edmonton starter Mike Reilly was 20-for-33 in passing for 216 yards and was intercepted twice. He threw touchdown passes to Paris Jackson and Adarius Bowman in the third quarter when he was injured on the last two plays.Reilly did not return for the fourth quarter, when backup Matt Nichols completed nine of 15 passes for 92 yards. Hugh ONeill kicked a 42-yard field goal for the visitors.Cornish, who is from New Westminster B.C., said he spent some time at his mothers condominium in Vancouver in the off-season, looking across the water to B.C. Place and thinking about the 2014 Grey Cup.I sat out and just thought about what it would feel like to go to B.C. Place, Cornish recalled.The Tiger-Cats earned their second consecutive trip to the championship game with a 40-24 win over the Montreal Alouettes in the East Division final.So this years Grey Cup will feature teams who have been disappointed in it recently.Hamilton lost 45-23 to the Saskatchewan Roughriders last year in Regina, while Calgary fell 35-22 to the host Argonauts two years ago.We had the trouble in 2012 winning the Grey Cup and they had trouble winning it last year, so were both hungry, Mitchell said. Neither team is going to be celebrating this win too long. Its going to be a great game. Its going to be a dogfight.With weather a non-factor indoors, the Stampeders will be the favourite against a team that was 9-9 in the regular season. Calgary was 2-0 versus Hamilton this season with scores of 10-7 and 30-20.The Stampeders offence had the ball for 12 and a half minutes in Sundays first half compared to Edmontons time of possession of 17:34. Mitchell made the most of his time with the ball.He threw for 284 yards and three touchdowns on just eight passes as well as rushing for one himself. The 24-year-old Texan won his first career playoff start completing 14 of 22 passes for 336 yards and four touchdowns without an interception.We had to make some hay in the air because we werent doing very much on the ground, especially in the first half, Hufnagel said. I thought Bo played an excellent football game. He threw the ball with great accuracy, he handled the pressure, kept his poise and didnt make any major mistakes.Winning the division and earning a bye week in the post-season helped Calgary get healthy on offence as Mitchell had multiple targets with which to work.The temperature at Sundays kickoff was zero under cloudy skies with a light wind out of the south. Attendance was announced at 31,004, but there was ample room in McMahon Stadiums stands.Reilly can inflict damage with his legs, but his mobility was compromised by a late-season foot injury thats been reported as a broken bone.The Eskimos quarterback looked winded when he was sacked by Simpson late in the first half. Reilly remained in the game to throw a pair of touchdown passes in the third quarter.He was tackled hard by Shawn Lemon and sacked again by Simpson on the final two plays of the quarter. Reilly was taken by motorized cart to the visitors dressing room early in the fourth quarter.Reilly indicated hed reinjured his foot on the Lemon tackle.It made my whole leg sore, knee and everything, Reilly said. I dont think that it really did much damage and then the last play that I was in, Im not really sure what happened, but when I went to stand up I just couldnt put any pressure on it.Eskimos head coach Chris Jones was Hufnagels defensive co-ordinator from 2008 to 2011 and held the same position with the Argonauts when they beat Calgary in the Grey Cup two years ago.Edmonton held Calgarys running game in check, but the Eskimos backfield was beaten by the athleticism of receivers Rogers and McDaniel and the relentless legs of Cornish.Unfortunately we didnt play our best football tonight, Jones said. Calgarys a very, very well coached and very good football team. Youve got to give all the credit to them. They came out with a good game plan. They executed and kudos to them.Notes: Calgary defensive tackle Charleston Hughes played in the first half for his first game action since injuring his foot Sept. 13, but did not appear in the second half. Hufnagel said following the game the CFLs defensive player of the year in 2013 injured his other foot . . .

Jonathan Quick, Los Angeles Kings (5) - A goaltending clinic tonight from Quick that started with a not a very busy first period. Quick only faced four scoring chances in the first frame, including a nice one-timer save on Derek Dorsett and two big saves on Mats Zuccarello - one that he creates by himself with a rebound off the glove that he reaches back with his paddle as it hits the post and the other with a terrific blocker save on the power play. He put on a show in the second, though, facing 12 scoring chances in the period, and making huge saves on Derick Brassard (twice), Brad Richards and Martin St.Louis. Quick looked like the 2012 Conn Smythe-winner in that period.dddddddddddd The third was more of the same with big saves on Zuccarello, Richards and Marc Staal. Scoring Chances were 22 to 10 for the Rangers, but it was the Jon Quick Show tonight. Henrik Lundqvist, New York Rangers (3) - Not a busy game for Lundqvist, but he made a good save on Jeff Carter down the wall blocker-side and only faced two scoring chances in the opening period. He had no chance on the late goal by Carter, as it hit Dan Girardis skate and changed direction. Lundqvist faced six scoring chances in the second period with two goals against and no chance on either. Both were deflections that he was just unable to get to. Lundqvist faced two tough shots in the third period from Carter and Mike Richards. A tough game to sit and watch when the guy at the other end is playing great and everything that comes your way is a deflection or chance against.
