CALGARY - The Calgary Stampeders carried the contents of their lockers to their cars at McMahon Stadium with mixed feelings Monday. A good season, yes, but as star running back Jon Cornish pointed out, people will remember this years Grey Cup winner before they remember Calgarys 14-4 record in the regular season. "The (Stampeder) teams that were 15-3 back in the 90s, who is going to remember those teams?" Cornish said outside the locker room. "I had no clue those teams existed prior to us coming close to the record because we didnt win championships those years. For me Im getting older and I care about my legacy. "I understand that winning championships is part of the game in the CFL. Those are the guys who are remembered. For me, this really emphasizes what next year means." The Stampeders were in a next-year mindset because of a 35-13 loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the previous nights West Division final at McMahon. The Roughriders and Hamilton Tiger-Cats will play in Sundays Grey Cup in Regina. Calgary carried the seasons best record into the playoffs and was a Grey Cup favourite as the next-closest teams were 11-7. The Stampeders ranked No. 1 in many statistical categories. Cornish won his second straight season rushing title and is a double nominee for the leagues Most Outstanding Player and Most Outstanding Canadian awards. Offensive lineman Brett Jones is a finalist for rookie of the year, defensive end Charleston Hughes for the defensive player award and kicker Rene Paredes for the special teams player trophy. Its the first time Calgary has finalists for five major awards and those will be announced Thursday in Regina. Calgary won games despite a three-man rotation at quarterback in the middle of the season because of injuries and constantly plugging holes at other positions for the same reasons. But the best team in the league at protecting the football chose the wrong game and the wrong opponent to suddenly develop a case of the drops. Seven turnovers against the Roughriders, who led the CFL in takeaways this season, was Calgarys undoing. Saskatchewan jumped out to a 22-6 lead, which gave them the luxury of running the ball a lot against a Stampeder defensive line missing two premiere tackles with knee injuries. "Going into the game, if I was scripting it, I would have liked to have seen my offence on the field more than their offence and that way keeping our defence on the sideline," Calgary coach John Hufnagel said. "I didnt really want the script to be them having a lead and having the ability to have patience with their running game. "The turnovers partially created that scenario we didnt want. When you play good football teams in big games, you need to protect the football." Hufnagel completed the second season of a five-year contract extension signed when the NHLs Calgary Flames bought the team in the January, 2012. Initially hired prior to the 2008 season, the Stampeders have gone 73-34-1 in the regular season under Hufnagel as coach and GM. The Stampeders have played in two Grey Cups during his tenure and won it in 2008. Calgarys playoff record with Hufnagel is 5-5. He says he has about 14 players entering free agency this off-season, with defensive back Juwan Simpson and receiver Mo Price among them. But the more pressing matter for the Stampeders is which quarterback Hufnagel will choose to protect in the expansion draft Dec. 16? Calgary can hide only one from the Ottawa Redblacks when protected rosters are submitted Dec. 9. Kevin Glenn, Drew Tate and Bo Levi Mitchell all started and won games for Calgary this season and all three are still under contracts. When asked Monday if hed made a decision on which quarterback to protect, Hufnagel said no, but that expansion-draft meetings would start immediately. Tate was anointed Calgarys next starting quarterback when the Stampeders traded Henry Burris to Hamilton in January. 2012. But the brittle Tate hasnt been able to string together starts because of various injuries over two seasons. Kevin Glenn came to Calgary in the Burris trade as insurance and has posted a 20-8 record and a 2-2 playoff record. The 33-year-old veteran struggled in his last three games for Calgary, however, and Hufnagel has to look to the future of the franchise. Bo Levi Mitchell, 23, won his three starts. He also came off the bench for an injured Glenn in the third quarter against Montreal in July and threw a pair of touchdowns in the win. "For right now, Im a Calgary Stampeder. Thats what it says on the contract," Glenn said Monday. "Who knows whats going to happen? I doubt all three of us will be back, but we just have to wait to see what happens." The Edmonton Eskimos, Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Ottawa are in the market for a new coach and the Montreal Alouettes could be if the team decides to hire a new one instead of GM Jim Popp continuing in that role. Stampeder offensive co-ordinator Dave Dickenson and defensive co-ordinator Rick Campbell would be attractive options in those markets. "I believe we have some candidates that other teams would want to talk to," Hufnagel said. China Jerseys Stitched .

The Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames engaged in a wild first-period brawl Saturday night which later carried over to Canucks coach John Tortorella being involved in an altercation in the hallway outside of the Flames dressing room. The opening minutes of the NHL game, which the Canucks won 3-2 in a shootout, was like a scene from the movie Slapshot. It brought back memories of when teams like the Broad Street Bullies and Big Bad Boston Bruins waged wars on the ice. "I dont think anybody expected that," said Flames defenceman Chris Butler, one of eight players ejected from the game. "Its been a while since something like that happened, five guys pairing off." The Flames raised a red flag by putting their fourth line on the ice to start the game. The Canucks countered with their tough guys. Game on. Just two seconds had ticked off the clock when all five skaters from each team taking the opening faceoff dropped their gloves and began throwing punches. Calgary heavyweight Brian McGrattan was left bloodied in a fight with Vancouver tough guy Tom Sestito. After the fight Sestito patted McGrattan on the back of the head. Minor league callup Kellan Lains first game as a Canuck was brief. He was tossed for fighting with Calgarys Kevin Westgarth, who has no points in 21 games for the Flames. Also receiving game misconducts were Vancouvers Dale Weise plus defencemen Kevin Bieksa and Jason Garrison. Shown the door for Calgary was Westgarth, Blair Jones, Ladislav Smid and Chris Butler. "They started their goon squad over there," said Sestito, who leads the NHL with 167 penalty minutes in 47 games. "I just dont think were going to be backing down from guys." Ironically, Sestito and McGrattan remained in the game. In the aftermath of the brawl Tortorella could be seen yelling at the Flames bench. Later in the period, Calgarys Mark Giordano punched Vancouvers Alex Burrows in the face.dddddddddddd Burrows was wearing a facemask to protect a broken jaw. It was his first game since Dec. 1. The bad blood wasnt confined to the ice. At the end of the first period CBC cameras captured Tortorella attempting to go into the Flames locker room at Rogers Arena. McGrattan pushed him away. Flames goaltender coach Clint Malarchuk came out of the Flames dressing room after Tortorella and McGrattan were separated. Malarchuk followed Tortorella, but was restrained by several members of Calgarys staff and McGrattan. Much of the altercation appeared off camera, but another camera showed Vancouver defenceman Chris Tanev pulling Burrows back toward the Canucks dressing room. Tortorella refused to comment on the incident but made no apologizes for the lineup he started. "I know the other guy across the bench," he said. "Its easy for people to say well put the Sedins out there and its deflated. I cant put our players at risk like that. "With the lineup that he had, Im not going to put those types of players at risk and thats what ensued. Im not proud of it. Ive apologized to every one of the players involved in it. I dont feel great about it at all." Flames coach Bob Hartley was left shaking his head over Tortorella charging his teams dressing room. "I just dont understand," he said. "I got out of there. I dont need to get suspended or fined. "There is nothing to be settled there. I just dont understand what was going on." Hartley also defended his starting lineup. "Those guys are playing well for us," he said. "They got a goal last game. Were not scoring many goals. We had zero intentions there. "As far as I know they were the home team. They had the luxury to put whoever they wanted on the ice." The teams combined for 188 penalty minutes in the first period. Vancouver was called for 95 minutes in penalties. ' ' '
