Als struggle in Canadian Football League East continues
Sandro DeAngelis kicked a 38-yard field goal with no time remaining as the Calgary Stampeders defeated the Montreal Alouettes 40-37 in a see-saw CFL battle last night.
Calgary took a 30-25 lead into the fourth quarter, but conceded a safety at 2:55 and Montreal marched back off the ensuing kickoff to see O'Neill Wilson make a two-yard touchdown pass and put the Alouettes in the lead.
But QB Henry Burris was at his scrambling best as he led a drive that ended in his own one-yard scoring run with 1:58 left to play.
Damon Duval tied it with 51 seconds left with his fourth field goal of the game, but Calgary had time to march back for the winning field goal. Former Alouette star Jeremaine Copeland was booed by Montreal's 59th straight sellout crowd of 20,202 when he caught a four-yard TD pass at 9:15 and, as promised this week, did one of his trademark dances in the end zone. Copeland signed as a free agent with Calgary last winter, claiming Montreal made no real attempt to sign him.
