WINNIPEG -- The Winnipeg Blue Bombers have to fill a pretty big hole Monday in Montreal after the recent trade of CFL sack-leader Alex Hall to the Saskatchewan Roughriders. wholesale jerseys . Halls 15 sacks and the Winnipeg pass rush have been bright spots in an otherwise unimpressive season, which sees them flirting with a new yardstick for failure. The 2-12 Blue Bombers have four games left to play and are in danger of setting a new franchise mark for the worst record in an 18-game season (currently 3-15). The 6-8 Alouettes, meanwhile, can officially eliminate Winnipeg from playoff contention with a win. The Blue Bombers will use Greg Peach to fill the hole left by Halls trade but coach Tim Burke said they will also add recent acquisition J.D. Griggs to the end-rush rotation as a designated import. "Its going to be hard to replace Alex, his ability and his production," Burke said Thursday after practice. The Bombers returned to the field following a four-day break after Saturdays loss to the Calgary Stampeders. "I think Greg will do a good job. Hes more a try hard and carry your lunchpail to work kind of guy. Hes going to go hard all the time and thats how be gets his sacks." Now in his fifth season in the CFL, the six-foot-three, 255-pound Peach was a mid-season acquisition after he was released by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He has been part of the rotation and has three sacks and six tackles this season. "I approach it the same way Ive approached it from day one that I got here, anything the coaches want me to do Im doing it," he said Thursday. "Im just excited for the opportunity." Griggs, at six foot five and 262 pounds, is built a little more like Hall but Burke said they have to see how he plays. "We wont know until he gets into a game but I like his athleticism," he said. "He reminds me of Alex a lot as an athlete. Probably a little bit stronger than Alex. "I dont know how good of a speed rusher he is, you know if hes as good as Alex, but the one thing hell be able to do that Alex could do is bull rush." The Blue Bombers may not be mathematically out of the post-season yet, but for many players the focus is also on next year as well as Monday in Montreal. The season hasnt gone well for quarterback Max Hall, for example, but he still thinks he has a future in the CFL and with the Bombers. "Thats why personally I want to play well down the stretch because I know I can be a great quarterback in this league," he said. "And this is an opportunity for me, not exactly the best situation to be thrown into, but its a great opportunity and I want to take advantage of it." He said he knows he needs to be more consistent. Hes completed 81 of 139 pass attempts for 974 yards and four touchdowns this year. The Bombers are still waiting for the player they got in exchange for Hall, Canadian offensive lineman Patrick Neufeld, to recover from a leg injury. "As soon as hes healthy, were going to try and get him out there," said Burke. NFL Jerseys Black Friday Deals .

Go ahead and give two more points to the streaking Chicago Blackhawks. Hossa scored 1:44 into overtime and the Blackhawks beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Monday night to stretch their NHL-record opening points streak to 19 games. Patrick Sharp set up the winning goal with a quick turn along the boards and a drive to the goal that led to two stops by Nikolai Khabibulin. Hossa picked up the second rebound and was again stuffed by Khabibulin before he poked it in for his ninth goal of the season. "It is a great feeling, obviously," Hossa said. "It doesnt matter whos scoring and lately we have a lot of different guys scoring. We try to enjoy the streak, keep playing a simple game and try to find a way to win." Patrick Kane and Viktor Stalberg also scored for Chicago (16-0-3), which has won six straight and nine of 10. Ray Emery made 17 saves to remain unbeaten in eight starts this season. The Blackhawks have earned 35 of 38 possible points so far this season. "It was a great third period," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. "We had the puck in overtime, too. Great pay by Sharpie going to the net, great patience and presence with Hossa to finish." Nail Yakupov and Jeff Petry had the goals for Edmonton, which carried a 2-1 lead into the third period but couldnt hold on for its fourth consecutive victory over the Blackhawks. Khabibulin had 31 stops in the opener of the Oilers franchise-record, nine-game road trip. "Of course you feel pain, having the lead going into the third period," Edmonton coach Ralph Krueger said. "Its definitely something you dream and believe you can close it. But they are an amazingly powerful team. They are very strong on the puck and they never, never let up, at all." Edmonton grabbed the lead for the last time in the second, taking advantage when Brandon Saad was sent off for high sticking. Yakupov, the No. 1 overall pick in last years draft, one-timed a pass from Sam Gagner into the right side of the net at 14:17 for his fourth power-play goal and sixth overall. Chicago looked listless for much of thee second, but rebounded quickly in the third. [url=http://www.cheapnfljerseys2015.us.com/NIKE-NFL-JERSEYS_CLEVELAND-BROWNS-JER... Cleveland Browns Jerseys[/url]. . Michal Rozsival was behind the net when he sent a pass in front to Stalberg, who poked the puck into the mouth of goal as Khabibulin went to his knees to try for the stop. The call on the ice was no goal, but replays showed the puck crossed the line before Khabibulin could make the play and Stalberg was awarded his fifth goal of the season after a short review. The pace picked up after the tying goal, and each team had a couple of solid chances to move in front. Yakupov shot off the post on one power-play opportunity, and Khabibulin stopped Hossa on a short-handed chance. "I think for us it would have been a big statement game if we were able to break the streak," Gagner said. "But at the same time, once we didnt do that, we wanted to find a way to get it in overtime and were unable to do that as well. So it was unfortunate we kind of squandered the lead there." Edmonton moved in front in the first period after Duncan Keith lost his footing and coughed up the puck deep in Chicagos end. Lennart Petrell picked it up and skated in all alone on Emery, who stopped his backhand attempt. The rebound went out to Petry, who sent it over the prone goalie at 4:28. Just over a minute later, Kane skated to the middle of the ice and beat Khabibulin with a slick backhander for his 10th goal of the season. It was his first goal since Feb. 10 at Nashville, ending a six-game drought. "We keep finding ways to win," said Sharp, who picked up his 400th career point on the assist in overtime. "Thats important at any time of the year. Those one-goal games, were on the right side of them. We were thankful to pull it out today." NOTES: Chicago closed out a 6-0-1 homestand. ...
