Stampeders, Redblacks settle for 31-31 tie in Grey Cup rematch
OTTAWA — Neither team left the stadium feeling content on Friday night.
The Ottawa Redblacks and Calgary Stampeders settled for a 31-31 in the season opener for both teams — the second straight year the two clubs played to a tie in their first meeting of the season.
“It feels very, very eerie like last year,” said Stampeders coach Dave Dickenson. “We came in here and fought back and both teams probably think they could have and should have won. Opportunities were there for both teams and then you finish with a tie, which probably doesn’t taste well for anybody.
“Ties, no one’s real happy with those.”
