OTTAWA -- Brett Mahers first career game-winning field
goal was a historic one.

Jersey . Mahers 23-yard field goal with 28 seconds
remaining earned the Ottawa Redblacks a thrilling 18-17
win over the Toronto Argonauts on Friday night. The
victory was not only the first for the expansion club but
came in the first CFL game played in the Canadian capital
since 2005. "In my whole career Ive kicked a bunch of
field goals but never a game-winner," said the University
of Nebraska rookie. "Id never even tried one. "I was just
excited to be there and excited to cash it in. Mahers
boot, his sixth of the game, came after Swayze Waters
connected from 46 yards out to put Toronto ahead 17-15
with 1:33 remaining. It looked like the Argos (1-3) would
spoil the party for a TD Place Stadium sellout of 24,000,
which included Prime Minister Stephen Harper and
explained the presence of sharpshooters on the opposite
roofs of the facility. But quarterback Henry Burris
calmly moved Ottawa (1-2) 60 yards on six plays to set up
Mahers boot in what was anything but just another
football game. It marked the first time since November
2005 that Ottawa had hosted a CFL regular-season game and
the city hasnt celebrated a Grey Cup championship since
1976. "The atmosphere was great, a blast to be part of,"
Maher said. "Its a great feeling to win. "If I wouldve
had the same night and we wouldve lost, it wouldve been
sick." The exciting win capped what was a party
atmosphere throughout the contest, with many fans
standing and grooving to the tunes during timeouts.
Ottawas home opener had been much anticipated, with
supporters proudly sporting their colours all week and
turning out in droves for the various pre-game
festivities and pep rallies. "This crowd support we have
here, its definitely going to be a tough place (for
opponents) to play," said Burris. "Theres no better
fanbase in this league than here in Ottawa. "Redblacks
Nation is for real. For the people who arent here and
unable to experience this, youre missing out." Thousands
entered TD Place Stadium three hours before the opening
kickoff to participate in the tailgating festivities. And
once fans were allowed to settle into their seats, those
on the south side of the stadium resumed the longstanding
tradition of chanting "North Side Sucks." However, the
entire gathering -- most of which was clad in red -- was
on its feet as one, loudly cheering the Redblacks as they
took to the field for the pre-game introductions. "That
was awesome, the fans were remarkable," said rookie
Redblacks head coach Rick Campbell. "I knew the setup of
the stadium and how close it is to the field and thought
it would be great. "But to experience it firsthand, it
really makes a difference for our football team." The
night was one of two firsts for Campbell, who also
received his inaugural Gatorade shower afterwards. "I was
kind of shocked because I was just living in the moment
of our football team getting the win," said Campbell,
whose father Hugh, the legendary former head coach and GM
with the Edmonton Eskimos, was in attendance. "Its an
exciting night for us." Despite both offences being
inconsistent for much of the night, they did manage to
move the ball and make for an exciting finish as Mahers
48-yard field goal at 9:53 of the fourth put Ottawa ahead
15-14. It take after Toronto took a 14-12 advantage on
Ricky Rays 20-yard TD strike to Darvin Adams just 43
seconds into the quarter. That was Torontos first TD in
eight quarters, dating back to the fourth quarter of its
48-15 home win over Saskatchewan on July 5. The Argos
were minus veterans Chad Owens (foot), Andre Durie
(clavicle) and Jason Barnes (knee), their top three
receivers. Both defences were solid on the night. Toronto
recorded five sacks on Burris, but Ottawa did force three
turnovers, including Rays first two interceptions of the
season. Burris finished 17-of-30 passing for 216 yards
while adding 22 yards rushing. Ray was 21-of-37 passing
for 298 yards and a TD with the two picks and watched
Burris improve to 18-11 in their career head-to-head
matchups. Ray also suffered his first loss in six career
games against Ottawa. "Ive seen that too many times when
hes taken his team down in the last minute and pulled out
a victory," Ray said of Burris. "I definitely respect his
game, but its tough to give him the ball with the game on
the line and be on the sideline watching because he makes
a lot of good plays out there." Argos head coach Scott
Milanovich said his team gave Burris too much time
following Waters field goal. "That (1:33) is forever with
Henry Burris back there," Milanovich said. "We just
couldnt make it stick. "Its as disappointing a loss Ive
had since Ive been here. We have to find a way to win
that one, theres no doubt about that." Waters finished
with three field goals, a single and convert. Mahers 23-
yard field goal at 14:56 of the second quarter earned
Ottawa a 9-7 lead in a lacklustre opening half
offensively as the kickers accounted for all the scoring.
Both offences came close to TDs as Ray underthrew a wide-
open John Chiles in the endzone in the first before a
streaking Kierrie Johnson got behind Torontos secondary
but had Burriss nicely thrown pass go off his
outstretched hands. But both offences lacked consistency
and finish as Burris , who got little help from his
offensive line, was 7-of-12 passing for 75 yards and Ray
completed 9-of-16 attempts for 127 yards, but 45 yards
came on one completion. For the second time this year,
Toronto was victimized by a fake punt that went for a
first down. Maher scampered 15 yards on third-and-10 to
keep a drive alive in the second that he ultimately
capped with a 29-yard field goal at 6:24 to put Ottawa
ahead 6-3. NOTES: In their final regular-season game, the
Renegades beat Toronto 27-17 on Nov. 5, 2005. Renegades
head coach Joe Paopao wore a Hawaiian short on the
sidelines, as did his coaching staff and the clubs
football operations department. Following the game,
Paopao threw his third into the stands . . Burris came
into the game needing 65 yards rushing to move ahead of
former Rough Riders star Russ Jackson and into fourth in
all-time rushing yards by a quarterback. Jackson has
5,122 yards. Retired star Damon Allen, who played for
both Ottawa and Toronto over his illustrious career,
holds the league record with 11,920 yards.

sides came closest to scoring in the first half, when
Roma had a goal from Mattia Destro waved off for offside
and Inters Rodrigo Palacio headed high. "A draw was a
fair result. Neither squad had many chances," Roma

Madison Keys grabbed a first- round victory on Sunday in
a rainy start to the Apia International Sydney
tournament.In the midst of an eight-game losing streak,
Leafs assistant GM Dave Poulin was adamant that the teams
recent struggles have been an outlier and that a spell of
inconsistency over the span of 13 days would not cause
Toronto management to alter their course. “This is 13
days," Poulin said. "Its remarkable. Its eight games in
13 days, thats what all this has taken place in. Weve
been working at this for four-plus years – youre not
going to let 13 days change that. A lot of good things
have happened as well and a lot of good things are going
in the right direction. “Its not necessarily systematic
breakdowns, its individual breakdowns,” Poulin said,
noting the Leafs still have “a good hockey team and weve
played really well at points” and just need “to win a
hockey game and get a little momentum.” Asked whether
the Torontos collapse could have been predicted due to
their poor defensive play -- most notably with their
issues related to shot differential and possession
numbers -- Poulin remained skeptical, saying that despite
playing better during the losing streak, they simply
havent gotten any results. “I dont think it is,&”
Poulin said, backing up his comments by saying he thought
teams were shooting more on the Leafs because they know
the team gives up a high number of shots.

In reference to whether he thought the teams leadership
should be called into question considering veteran
players like Tyler Bozak, Joffrey Lupul, Phil Kessel and
Dion Phaneuf have been present for what could be the
third straight year Toronto has finished the season on
the heels of a disastrous collapse, Poulin said
management, “may have to very well evaluate it,” but
thought this season is an outlier. “I dont see a
similarity between a seventh game and three-to-four
minutes in the last stretch of the game to an eight game
losing streak.” Poulin said when asked about the
comparison between this years team and Torontos three-
goal meltdown in the third period of Game 7 versus the
Bruins. In terms of the criticism Dion Phaneuf has
received, Poulin said the team needs to build around the
Leaf captain. “We evaluate it, but we also try to build
around him,” Poulin said, relating Phaneufs situation to
his own career in Philadelphia.
