The Calgary Stampeders only beat the British Columbia Lions by 13 points Friday night in Vancouver, but it seemed like more.

A lot more.

The Stamps once led in the game by a score of 48-20 when the Lions got two late touchdowns when the game was completely out of reach.

Friday was another very strong effort by the Stampeder D. Casey Printers was never in sync with the Lion receivers, as he only went 10 for 26 with 191 yards and a major. His poor performance early in the third quarter, led to his benching.

Printers’ first time round in British Columbia was also known for his mobility. His knee clearly didn’t look 100%, and the former product of the Kansas City Chiefs only ran for seven yards on three carries.

The Stampeders also recorded their second consecutive excellent offensive performance, where they have now scored a combined 104 points. On Friday night, it was the running game that showed excellence as Joffrey Reynolds and Jon Cornish combined for 164 yards.

In the air, it was Kenyon Rambo’s turn to lead the Stamps in receiving yards. He had 108 of them with two touchdowns.

The Stampeders recorded their second straight blow out win, but the fact that this one took place on the road, I consider it more significant than their lopsided victory over the dysfunctional Eskimos. Give the Stamps an A+ for Friday night.
