REGINA - Hamilton Tiger-Cats head coach Kent Austin is a figure that literally looms large over Mosaic Stadium, site of the 101st Grey Cup. Thats because a 21-metre-high banner of Austin hangs outside the stadium, which is home to the Saskatchewan Roughriders football club. Its a tribute to the quarterback who guided the Riders to the 1989 Grey Cup championship and was head coach when the green and white clinched the title in 2007. Austin left the Roughriders after the championship win and spent five years in the U.S. college ranks before becoming Hamiltons head coach and general manager last December. Saskatchewan spoiled Austins return to Regina in the regular season with a 37-0 win over the Ticats in July. But Riders head coach Corey Chamblin says the Ticats are "a totally different team" now and Saskatchewan cant take anything for granted in the Grey Cup on Sunday. "Thats the thing about it, its a very fresh challenge for us. Everythings brand new," Chamblin said at a news conference Tuesday. "They do so many different things from when we played them early in the season. Theyve totally changed...a lot of things that theyve done and Im sure (they think) the same thing when they look at us on film, so itll be a fresh game and itll be one of those where therell be a lot of adjustments throughout the course of that game." Chamblin says one of the things the Riders did in the off season was look at how many coaching changes other teams had and try to catch them off guard early on. But he says Hamilton has grown together and gelled as a team. Hamilton heads into the Grey Cup game on a roll, having won 11 of its last 15 games, including last weeks East Division final against 2012 Grey Cup champion Toronto. Chamblin, who spent the 2011 season as Hamiltons defensive co-ordinator before becoming the Riders head coach in 2012, says he doesnt see the game as a head-to-head challenge between coaches. "I enjoy that I dont get the storylines he does, that puts more pressure on Kent," joked Chamblin. "No, right now its the Hamilton Tiger-Cats versus the Saskatchewan Roughriders. I never make it an individual battle or anything like that. Kents a very good coach and hes done a very good job with his football team. The same here." "Ultimately its going to be two teams play in the Grey Cup," he added. Riders quarterback Darian Durant agrees that they are preparing to face a completely different team, including his former Saskatchewan teammate and friend Andy Fantuz. "Those guys, there were missing some pieces when we played them earlier. You know, they had a bunch of young guys who were new to the CFL, didnt know the game as much and now, theyre basically veterans," Durant said at Mosaic Stadium. "They went on the road and they beat the defending Grey Cup champions, which says a lot, so you definitely have to make sure youre ready and prepared for those guys." The last time Saskatchewan and Hamilton faced each other in the Grey Cup was in 1989, when Austin was the quarterback. Saskatchewan won 43-40 with a last-second field goal from Dave Ridgway. Durant is getting help from Saskatchewan offensive co-ordinator George Cortez, who was the head coach and director of football operations for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats last season. The Grey Cup will also be a homecoming of sorts for Hamilton quarterback Henry Burris, who is a former Rider.

Marian Hossa scored two goals and Chicago defeated Dallas 5-2. Patrick Sharp assisted on the Blackhawks first four goals. Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane also scored before Niklas Hjalmarsson finished the scoring with a short-handed empty-net goal. The Stars failed to score on any of their six power plays. Chicagos penalty-killing unit was ranked last in the NHL, but it was good enough to stop all of Dallas power-play chances. The Stars are 0 for 24 power plays at home this season. Hossa said the Blackhawks penalty killing is "definitely getting better and better, and were getting on the same page." "Technically, we didnt get a power-play goal," Dallas coach Lindy Ruff said, "but (the Stars first goal) came at the end of one and it was still 5-on-4. "We had some good opportunities we didnt convert. We got some good looks that could have been a game-changer right there." In contrast, Kanes goal was just 23 seconds into Chicagos only power play of the game, 18:15 into the second period. It was the Blackhawks only shot with a man advantage. "It was frustrating with all of the penalties early," Sharp said. "We were patient and we capitalized on the power play. We knew it was going to come sooner than later." The Blackhawks used two short passes across the ice, from Sharp and Andrew Shaw to Kane, to set up that go-ahead goal at 18:15 of the second period. Dallas Cody Eakin had lost the puck on a one-man rush into the Chicago end. The Stars were late getting back before Kanes shot from the right circle beat Kari Lehtonen. "The changing point was on a turnover by myself," Eakin said. "We have to be a little sharper. I thought we played a good game, but we had a few too many turnovers." Ruff said: "They took advantage of a big mistake. We had a really big error on killing a penalty and should have walked out of the second period probably at 2-2. "In the end, we gave the game away, and that hurts." The Blackhawks took advantage. "Basically, it was one of those nights where special teams was the differential," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. "Our penalty kill led the charge. It was a great goal for the power play. I thought overall we played a real strong game discounting thee penalties we took.dddddddddddd" Before that, the Blackhawks twice rallied from one-goal deficits. Hossa evened the score 1-1 in the first period with an assist from Toews across the goalmouth, after Eakin had scored for Dallas. Hossa said: "As soon as (Toews) got in position, I tried to find open space for putting the puck in the net, and he found me beautifully. He did an excellent job behind the goal." Eakin scored at the end of what was virtually a 4-minute power play because of consecutive minor penalties against Chicago. Hjalmarsson had barely returned to the ice from serving a tripping penalty when Trevor Daley took a backhand shot. Chicago goalie Corey Crawford tried to control the rebound, but Dallas Shawn Horcoff and Eakin poked at the puck and it crossed the goal line. Crawford finished with 31 saves. Eakin scored at 6:10, 2 seconds after Hjalmarssons penalty had expired. He had gone into the penalty box just 1 second after teammate Brandon Saads high sticking penalty ended. Chicagos late first-period rally pulled the Blackhawks within one shot on goal of the Stars at 11-10. In the second period, Dallas continued to put pressure on Crawford. It paid off at 6:54. Tyler Seguin took a pass from Jamie Benn and fired in a shot from an angle low in the right faceoff circle. The Blackhawks continued to frustrate the Stars power play, killing off two more in the period. Chicago tied the score 2-2 at 10:19. Lehtonen stopped a short-range shot by Toews, but Toews manoeuvred around defenceman Brenden Dillon to knock in his own rebound. Lehtonen finished with 26 saves. Sharp credited his teammates for his four assists. "One of those nights where you try to make the right play, and my linemates were putting the puck in the net." Dallas goalie stopped a breakaway by Kane 23 seconds before the period ended. The final two goals came 34 seconds apart in the third period. Hossa scored on a breakaway, and Hjalmarsson followed with a shot the length of the ice for his empty-net goal at 18:53. Notes: The Stars finished with a 33-31 advantage in shots. .
