Lysack should've gone for the ball on Tucker's TD though, that was a fairly easy knock down, but he went for the hit and Tucker hung on.

Great finish to the game. The Stamps come back with less than 2 minutes and take the lead only to lose on a spectacular catch by Tucker. Still can't believe he made the adjustment, turned from outside to inside and still caught the ball. And Kelly Campbell (the 'rookie' receiver) was fantastic. Just hope his knee injury is not too serious.
The Esks running game still sucks, it was a mistake to get rid of Tyler Ebell IMHO.
The only negative was the poor job Rod Black did calling the game on TSN. Perhaps he should learn some some of the rules first before spouting off with his comments. At least twice (maybe 3 times) he speculated on what a penalty flag had been thrown for, and every time his guess was not only wrong, but also technically impossible to even occur. To be fair all the penalties he was wrong on were the same call, but he got it wrong every time. And Duane Ford, the color guy, should have known too. You can't have illegal procedure (to my knowledge) and still have the play continue, it is a dead ball foul. The calls were obviously either offside or an illegal formation and he kept saying it would be for illegal procedure, despite the fact that the play had continued.

). The game was quite well played for a season opener, not too sloppy, and not filled with procedure calls).
