Ricky Ray threw for two touchdowns as the Argonauts beat the B.C. Lions 40-23 in CFL action Friday night. Toronto made amends for a loss in Calgary last weekend, when they led by a wide margin early only to suffer a late loss.
The club missed the playoffs for the first time since 2007-08 last season, resulting in the dismissal of general manager Mike Gillis and head coach John Tortorella.
PENTICTON, B.C. - Hunter Shinkaruk has a second chance to make a first impression. The 19-year-old left-winger was selected by the Vancouver Canucks 24th overall at the 2013 draft when Mike Gillis was the team's general manager and John Tortorella was its head coach.
VANCOUVER - Kevin Glenn ended the B.C. Lions' touchdown drought in fine fashion. Glenn threw for 261 yards and two TDs as the Lions downed the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 26-9 on Saturday night at B.C. Place Stadium.
VANCOUVER - By ending a scoring drought and managing to win their first game in a month the Vancouver Whitecaps hope they have planted a seed that will bloom into a Major League Soccer playoff berth.
A week after being displaced by a then healthy Lulay as the CFL club's starting quarterback, Glenn is back in the rescuer role that he has played most of the season as the Lions prepare to host the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Saturday.
