Nothing is as it seems in first week of CFL season

I will be honest, the only way to top the first week of the CFL season is if after the first game between Montreal and Winnipeg, the PA announcer played Disturbed’s version of Simon and Garfunkel’s The Sounds of Silence with the great first line…Hello Darkness My Old Friend.
I picked Winnipeg to win because I thought even though they did not play a lot of their starters in their two exhibition games, they should have their timing after five years and at worst need about a half to re-establish their rhythm.
Montreal’s defense served notice they are not a one trick pony and beat Winnipeg 27-12 in Winnipeg which was supposed to be a rematch of last year’s Grey Cup won by Montreal with seconds remaining.
