OTTAWA -- The Edmonton Eskimos spent the past seven days in Ottawa and waited until the last possible moments to leave as ungracious guests. Ben Jones Titans Jersey . A 27-yard field goal by Grant Shaw with 20 seconds remaining in the game gave the Eskimos a 10-8 win over the Ottawa Redblacks Friday night. After a 33-23 win over the Alouettes in Montreal last Friday, the Eskimos moved onto Ottawa where they stayed in preparation and anticipation of their game against the Redblacks. The Eskimos drove from their own nine-yard line in the dying minutes after recovering a fumble as the Redblacks were looking to get some insurance points late in the fourth quarter. "I was just doing my job and all the credit goes to the offence at the end and they put together a drive that put us in short field goal range and those should be automatic," Shaw said. "It was definitely a defensive battle and both offences struggled to find the end zone, but thats just how it goes sometimes. I cant wait to get back to my wife and get back to my own home. Ottawas been fun but were all excited to go home." A Hail Mary pass on the final play of the game was batted down by the Edmonton defence to give the Eskimos (6-1) their second win in a row. The Redblacks (1-6), who got two field goals and two singles from kicker Brett Maher, led from the opening drive of the game but still saw their losing slide hit four games. Maher collected all his points in the first half as the Redblacks defence put in their best performance of the year in not allowing an Edmonton touchdown. "Our whole defensive backfield, all six guys, were first-year CFL guys so I was proud of them with stepping up and not being phased in the moment," Redblacks coach Rick Campbell said. "I am proud of our guys. They work hard, theyre trying to do the right things and thats kind of our formula of the way to play football to be competitive and give ourselves a chance to win games, to stay away from penalties, to play well on special teams and obviously we want to get it to where we can win a game." There were several key plays in the second half, including an interception, fumble and turnover on downs by the Eskimos, but none was bigger than the Redblacks first turnover of the game. "Weve had the same situation happen and its frustrating," said Redblacks quarterback Henry Burris, who was 18-for-28 passing for 255 yards to surpass 53,000 career passing yards. "Not finishing drives and little mental mistakes has been killing us. It was visible the things we did on offence moving the ball against a great defence, but when you dont finish all drives and you let a good team like them hang around theyre going to find a way to win in the end." Edmonton quarterback Mike Reilly completed 26 of 35 passes for 271 yards and an interception. A 28-yard field goal from Shaw was the only scoring of the third quarter and it pulled the Eskimos to within a single point of the Redblacks at 8-7. After some missed opportunities the Eskimos looked poised to take their first lead of the game, but a third-and-one gamble on the Ottawa 12-yard line could not be converted as Pat White was brought down an inch short. The Redblacks took over on downs and were aided by a roughing the passer call that kept the drive alive. That drive though, that stared on their own 12, ended on the Eskimos nine-yard line with the Matt Carter fumble. The Eskimos then drove the field for the winning score. "The win last week against Montreal we played great in the first half and then we didnt play well in the second half," Eskimos coach Chris Jones said. "Tonight we struggled with some of the same things that hurt us earlier in the year, meaning penalties, fumbling the football, throwing interceptions, so weve got something we really have to clean up." The win would have been sweet redemption for the Redblacks, who fell 27-11 to the Eskimos back in Week 3. The first half of Fridays game played out similarly to the first half of the game in Edmonton back on July 11. The Redblacks led 7-2 at the midway point that night and went into the half Friday with an 8-4 lead. Maher gave the Redblacks a 1-0 advantage on the first drive of the game with a single on a missed 51-yard field goal attempt. He redeemed himself with a 17-yard field goal late in the first quarter. The Eskimos got their first point of the game on a 52-yard punt single from Shaw just 42 seconds into the second quarter. After Maher connected on a 20-yard field goal to give the Redblacks a 7-1 lead, Shaw returned the favour with a 39-yard field goal of his own to make it a three-point game once again. The footwork wasnt finished there though as Maher had another single, this one off a 60-yard punt. The Eskimos tried for a 50-yard field goal late but it was wide and run out of the end zone to end the half. Jurrell Casey Titans Jersey . The Canadian defensive tackle suffered the injury on Monday and had tests done on Tuesday. He was a potential starter on the defensive line but head coach Mike OShea said he wasnt even thinking about the ratio when he got the news. Derrick Henry Titans Jersey . The judge sternly instructed the prosecutor to restrain himself and he apologized -- then went right back to trying to pick holes in the testimony of the double-amputee runner. It was a harsh day of cross-examination for Pistorius, challenged relentlessly about his account of the moments just before he killed Reeva Steenkamp, as well as circumstances related to several firearms charges against him, including the firing of a gun in a crowded restaurant. http://www.thetitansfansclub.com/Black-Friday-Sean-Spence-Jersey/ .C. -- The RBC Cups semifinal participants were decided by a pair of overtime games.MONTREAL -- The Boston Bruins just couldnt bury their chances. On a night when Boston was looking close out the series, the Bruins made a hash of numerous opportunities in a 4-0 loss to the Montreal Canadiens in Game 6 on Monday night. The Bruins hit posts and crossbars, missed open nets, blew odd-man rushes and couldnt capitalize on key chances throughout the game. Most noteworthy was a frenetic 5:11 sequence of uninterrupted play in the second period during which the Bruins penned Montreal in its own zone for more than two minutes. With the Bruins down 1-0 early in the second period, and their power play expiring, Boston took advantage of tired Habs legs to play keepaway with Montreal in the offensive zone. The Bruins peppered the net with shots, but couldnt take advantage of the unrelenting pressure. "We were all around the net, getting a lot of chances. And then they scored that second one," said Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron. "It definitely took the momentum out of us. Its about finishing the job, and we have to be a lot better." On the sequence, Carl Soderberg took two shots on Carey Price, and had another two blocked by Canadiens defenceman Mike Weaver. Brad Marchand missed the net, Jarome Iginla was stopped by Price and Kevan Miller had a chance blocked by P.K. Subban. The Bruins took a total four shots on net, had three shots blocked and missed the net once. "If we capitalize on a chance there, its a different game," said Milan Lucic, who was also denied by Price on the sequence. "Were not frustrated with what happened here today because we established some pretty good zone time." Price made 26 saves for his fourth career post-season shutout. One of his best of the evening was on Lucic during Bostons dominant spell. Lucic was fed the puck across the crease, but Price made it back in time to rob the left-winger. "Bouncing puck, I overshot it," said Lucic. "It was one of those plays thaat you put in nine out of 10 times. Blidi Wreh-Wilson Titans Jersey. . Today was that one that you didnt get. You get the same opportunity next game, you have to make sure that you bury it." Minutes later, Max Pacioretty scored his second of the playoffs on a breakaway to double the Canadiens lead. Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask left his net to intercept a stretch pass by Nathan Beaulieu on the play, but changed his mind and retreated back between the posts. The moment of uncertainty was enough for Pacioretty to fire home a shot between Rasks pads. "I kind of hesitated," said Rask, who let in four goals on 28 shots. "I didnt want to get burned. Me and Zdeno (Chara) got caught looking at each other. I thought he was going to dive, and he thought I was going to play it. Just another gift." Thomas Vanek, whos particularly successful against the Bruins with 67 points in 61 career games, added a goal at the end of the second period and another at the end of the third. The Bruins have now failed to clinch a playoff series in Game 6 on the road for the fourth time in five seasons. Game 7 goes Wednesday night in Boston. "Its one game, winner moves on," said Lucic. "You know its not going to be easy. You fought all season-long to get the home ice advantage for situations like this. "Were confident. Weve been a confident group all year long. Weve played well in big games. This is the biggest one so far throughout the year. We have to bring our best when we need it the most. Thats the most important thing."
