TORONTO -- Ricky Ray will have plenty of time to savour the first 500-yard passing performance of his CFL career. Ray completed 39-of-45 passes -- including a club-record 21 straight -- for 505 yards and three TDs as the Toronto Argonauts clinched first in the East Division with a 36-21 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Thursday night. Toronto (11-6) will finish the regular season hosting the Montreal Alouettes next Friday night and head coach Scott Milanovich said Ray wont dress for that contest. That means Rays next game for the defending Grey Cup champions will be Nov. 17 in the East final at Rogers Centre. "I can tell you right now Ricky Ray will not be playing next week," Milanovich said emphatically. "Hell be standing beside me on the sidelines without gear on, we can end the speculation right now." Milanovichs decision also means Ray will finish the season with a 77.7 per cent completion average, breaking the CFL single-season mark of 73.98 per cent held by Calgary offensive co-ordinator Dave Dickenson. Predictably, the humble Ray downplayed the career performance. "It was just one of those nights we had a lot of opportunities to make plays and were able to finish most of them," Ray said. "But we left a lot out there, we had a couple of turnovers and I missed Chad Owens on an easy touchdown. "We still have a lot of things to clean up." Discipline is certainly one of them as Toronto was flagged 14 times for 139 yards. Winnipeg wasnt much better with 12 penalties for 95 yards in a very chippy affair that saw both teams penalized often for vicious hits on a night when players, coaches and officials all had pink-coloured apparel as part of the CFLs initiative to bring awareness to womens cancers. "Weve got to be more disciplined," Milanovich said. "To win a game with that many penalties just isnt going to happen very often. "If we keep having the penalties we had tonight we wont go far in November." Winnipeg coach Tim Burke wasnt pleased with all the penalties either, saying hell be addressing it with his team. "There is going to be some light pocketbooks this week," he said. "I chalk it up to being unable to control your emotions. "Football is an emotional game but you have to be able to control your emotions." Ray broke the Argos record of 19 straight completions in the third and finished one short of the CFL mark when he threw an incompletion to running back Chad Kackert, back after missing two games with a shoulder injury. But Argos receivers Jason Barnes and Andre Durie both lost fumbles deep in Winnipegs zone following big completions by Ray that helped the Bombers (3-14) hang around. But Ray cemented the win with a 69-yard TD pass to Dontrelle Inman at 12:16 of the fourth. On July 19, Ray set the CFL single-game passing accuracy record by completing 19-of-20 passes in a 35-19 win over Winnipeg before suffering a knee injury. Toronto finished atop the East Division for the first time since 07 and just the third time since 97. More importantly, the Argos cemented home-field advantage for the conference final by sweeping the home-and-home series with Winnipeg after dropping two straight games to Hamilton. "This was our goal at the start of the year to get that one playoff game at home and we were able to do it," Ray said. "There were stumbling blocks along the way but to rebound after the two losses to Hamilton and come back and get two big wins was big for this team." Rays brilliance before a Rogers Centre gathering of 18,478 overshadowed the nastiness of the contest. But there were some anxious moments in the first half when play was halted as Toronto defensive back Neiko Thorpe was treated for a head injury. Thorpe was hurt while tackling Winnipeg running back Will Ford. His head was immobilized and he was placed on a backboard, then a stretcher before being carted off the field. He was taken to hospital for examination and released after test results were negative. Winnipeg, 2-7 on the road this season, was eliminated from playoff contention with last weekends 26-20 home loss to Toronto. But Milanovich said his team fed off the criticism it received for not securing a more emphatic victory in Manitoba. "I dont think you can measure a teams will to win and the heart of a champion," Milanovich said. "Weve got a bunch of guys that are new but make no mistake theres a lot of champions still on that roster and these guys found a way to win. "You dont win 11 games by accident. Were young on defence, weve got eight new starters but I have faith were going to get this thing done. Ill stand shoulder to shoulder with this team anytime." Toronto boasted two 100-yard receivers in Inman (four catches, 152 yards) and Chad Owens (11 receptions, 105 yards). Kackert also had a solid return with 79 yards rushing on 11 carries and seven catches for 55 yards. "I thought Kack ran great, it was exactly what I was looking for," Milanovich said. "He was decisive, he was north and south, he picked a hole and he hit it, he sliced through the defence and brought that burst that we needed." Winnipeg quarterback Max Hall finished 17-of-32 passing for 257 yards and two TDs. Wallace Miles was the Bombers top receiver with six catches for 100 yards and a touchdown. "I thought our offence did a pretty good job," Burke said. "Defensively we didnt rush the passer very well and we didnt cover very well . . . thats why you give up 505 yards." For Miles, scoring his first-ever pro TD was a moral victory as it came with his mother, who made the trip from Georgia, in the stands. "Its very bittersweet," he said. "A milestone in my life but it came in a loss." Romby Bryant had the other two TDs for Toronto, which improved to 4-4 at home. Swayze Waters booted the converts, four field goals and a single. The other points came on a safety. Rory Kohlert had the other TD for Winnipeg. Sandro DeAngelis added the converts and two field goals while Mike Renaud kicked a single.

Stamkos scored the deciding goal in the tiebreaker to give the Tampa Bay Lightning a 4-3 win over the Florida Panthers. Valtteri Filppula also scored in the shootout. Stamkos was just 5 for 27 in the shootout coming into the game, but he made some nice moves to slip the puck past Jacob Markstrom on his left side for the deciding goal in Tampa Bays fourth slot. "Its something that I struggled with in the past but practice does help with certain moves," Stamkos said. "I probably wasnt going to be in the first three but I was glad to go in there and help the team win in any situation. Its nice to see one go in and even nicer to help your team win in that situation." Stamkos, Radko Gudas, and Martin St. Louis scored in regulation for Tampa Bay, which has won five of six. Anders Lindback stopped 29 shots and turned aside three of four Florida shooters in the tiebreaker. Stamkos also had an assist. Lindback got his first win of the season. "We got another two points. Obviously for me coming in and winning a game, its nice," said Lindback, who started in the second half of back-to-back games in place of Ben Bishop. "He stopped a couple of their guys in the shootout," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. "Thats where you need your goalie to stand up and win a game. He did that for us tonight." Brad Boyes, Nick Bjugstad and Shawn Matthias scored, and Markstrom made 25 saves for Florida. Boyes also had a shootout goal. Jonathan Huberdeau, Aleksander Barkov, and Dmitry Kulikov all missed. The Panthers lost for the fifth time in seven games, including two shootouts. "Unfortunately, we end up on the wrong end of these (shootouts) right now, but theres guys that are pushing hard and thats what we have to keep doing," Panthers coach Kevin Dineen said. Fllorida rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the third period.dddddddddddd The Panthers closed to 3-2 on Bjugstads goal at 5:39 when he tipped in Scottie Upshalls shot from the point. Florida tied it when Boyes grabbed an errant puck and backhanded it under Lindbacks pads from in front at 8:51. Boyes leads the Panthers with five goals, but this was his first in seven games. Tampa Bay stretched its lead to 3-1 during a power play in the second period. Gudas took a wrist shot from just inside the blue line that deflected off Floridas Mike Weaver and got past Markstrom at 9:58. Gudas got a game misconduct at 12:51 of the third when he slashed at the boards in front of the Panthers bench after being squirted with water by Upshall, who received an unsportsmanlike conduct call. Florida closed to 2-1 on Matthias first goal of the season. Matthias grabbed a puck in traffic in front of the crease and slipped it behind Lindback at 13:48 of the first. It was Matthias first goal in 23 games, dating to last season. "Its tough going down 2-0 early like that, but we played really hard and battled back," Matthias said. "Its tough to have the final outcome happen." The Lightning scored two goals on their first three shots, including on just 41 seconds into the game. Stamkos passed from the top of the right circle to St. Louis, who poked in the puck from in front. St. Louis has scored in three straight games. Stamkos made it 2-0 at 4:35. Markstrom blocked a shot by Ryan Malone, but the long rebound went out to Stamkos in the right circle for a slap shot. The Lightning improved to 8-3. "Its probably the quietest 8-3 record in the league and we like it that way," Stamkos said. NOTES: Stamkos leads the Lightning with eight goals and 17 points. ... St. Louis has seven goals and 14 points in his past 10 games. ... Matthias previous goal was March 30 against New Jersey. ...
