| CALGARY -- Randy Chevrier has been on both sides of Labour Day hostilities between the Calgary Stampeders and Edmonton Eskimos. He was an Eskimo for an on-field fracas in 2003. It started with Edmonton quarterback Ricky Ray getting pushed out of bounds and ended with teammate Ed Hervey -- now the Esks general manager -- swinging his helmet at Davis Sanchez and hitting an official instead. "I was right there on the sideline when I dont know who it was that pushed Ricky through the Gatorade table," Chevrier recalled Sunday at McMahon Stadium. "The next thing you know it was a brawl on the sideline, then it spilled out to the middle of the field and then Ed trying to swing his helmet at Davis and it hit the ref. It was a total crazy, boiled-over type of tension. It was pretty awesome." A few Labour Day games later, Chevrier was a Stampeder witnessing a pre-game confrontation between teammate Jeff Pilon and Edmontons Patrick Kabongo. "Patrick Kabongo was mouthing at us while we were doing our typical breakdown before the game," Chevrier explained. "Hes beaking off and the next thing you know, Pilon goes into his face. Youve got these two humongous titans pounding on each other before the game." The Stampeders won the 2012 edition of the Labour Day Classic 31-30. Edmonton kicker Grant Shaws field-goal attempt from 48 yards sailed wide and Larry Taylor ran it out of the end zone as time expired. Edmontons record since that game is 3-15. Calgarys is 14-4. While the fortunes of Calgary (6-2) and Edmonton (1-7) have widely diverged, the Stampeders long-snapper doesnt believe the CFLs Battle of Alberta is diminished a year later. "Theyve always been that intense emotional experience that you want in a football game," says Chevrier, who will appear in his 10th career Labour Day game Monday. Albertas CFL franchises will meet for the first time this season at its halfway mark and clash again four days later in Edmonton in the Labour Day rematch. A sunny day with a high of 27 degrees is forecasted for McMahon Stadium. A Stampeder spokesman said Sunday the game was not yet sold out, but Chevrier hopes it will be. "One of the big things is its one of the few games in the summer where, the day of the week that its on, everyones in Calgary and they show up," he said. "Its full of our fans. Its not like a Rider game where you have a ton of green shirts. Its typically full of red. I love that atmosphere." The Stampeders are in a tight race with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and B.C. Lions at the top of the West Division despite a revolving door on offence due to injuries. With veteran slotback Nik Lewis and star running back Jon Cornish out of the lineup last week, Calgary prevailed 35-14 over the Argos in Toronto last week. The last four of Edmontons six straight losses have been by five points or less. In the history of the CFL, only the 1979 Winnipeg Blue Bombers have lost as many consecutive games by that margin. Edmonton is coming off a 30-27 loss to Riders. The Eskimos have outscored the opposition 78-49 in the fourth quarter this season, but that hasnt translated into many wins. "Its kind of heartened our resolve even more going through those tough losses together," Eskimos quarterback Mike Reilly said. "Its made us more hungry each and every week to get that win. I dont think anybody is hanging their heads. We know what were capable of. "We just havent been able to get over that hump. Once we do, I think everybody is very confident were going to turn the season around and were going to finish out strong. Its Labour Day. The season is far from over. I can promise you that." Reilly was hit too much by Saskatchewan last week to suit Edmonton head coach Kavis Reed, who wants Reilly taking calculated, not reckless, risks in pursuit of victory. "Franchise quarterbacks are very hard to come by," the Edmonton coach said. "Its also our responsibility as a coaching staff to make certain we impress upon him the importance of longevity, being smart. "There are certain situations weve had late in the game where trying to fight for that extra yard is necessary. There are a lot of situations where wed like to see Mike get out of bounds or see Mike slide. "I understand why hes doing it. Hes trying to will this team to success." Cornish, the CFLs No. 2 rusher behind Saskatchewan Kory Sheets, is back in Calgarys lineup after sitting out one game with a thigh bruise. Cornish ran for 255 yards and three touchdowns in three wins against Edmonton last season. "When you look at their offence, most things function through Jon," Reed said. "Not only is he a tremendous runner, but he does all the other things that you expect of a versatile running back. For us to have good results against this offence, we have to stop him." Maurice Price rotates back in at wide receiver for the Stampeders after a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 3. Glenn remains the starter in the absence of injured Drew Tate, but expect to see Bo Levi Mitchell inserted to finish short-yardage situations. Notes: Calgary is 3-2 against Edmonton in their last five Labour Day meetings . . .

Andre Roberts Womens Jersey . Ive said it before, Ive worked with top pros and I could have made my own program.BOSTON - The Boston Bruins lost the game to the New York Islanders 3-2 and then waited to find out how long they will be without their captain and No. 1 defenceman, Zdeno Chara.The 2009 Norris Trophy winner left Thursday nights game in the first period with an undisclosed injury and didnt return. Coach Claude Julien said after the game he had no update, but inside the Boston locker room, Charas teammates seemed resigned to a long absence.Hes a presence in all aspects of the game, said Bruins forward Chris Kelly, who scored to cut a two-goal deficit in half midway through the third period. Hes a captain for a reason. Hes played in 1,000 games. Were going to miss him.Former Bruins backup Chad Johnson stopped 30 shots, and Kyle Okposo scored the go-ahead goal in the second period to help New York snap a two-game losing streak. Frans Nielsen and Cal Clutterbuck also scored for the Islanders.Milan Lucic added goals for Boston. Niklas Svedberg, making his third start as Vezina Trophy-winner Tuukka Rask got the night off, made 35 saves.The Bruins played the Canadian national anthem and observed a moment of silence in memory of the soldier who was killed at the war memorial in Ottawa on Wednesday.The team also played a highlight video for former Bruins defenceman Johnny Boychuk, a member of the 2011 Stanley Cup champion team who was traded to the Islanders on the eve of the season. He belatedly realized the cheering was for him, flashed a smile, and finally took off his glove and waved to the crowd.Johnson served as Rasks backup last season.I think both those guys were excited to come back, Clutterbuck said. Obviously, they loved their time here and you can kind of feel the love for Johnny Boychuk out there.Chara collided with Islanders captain John Tavares midway through the first, then played one more shift that ended with 8:04 remaining in the period. There wass no outward indication of an injury at that time.ddddddddddddThe team didnt elaborate on why Chara didnt return to the bench at the start of the second period except to confirm that it was an injury. The 6-foot-9 Slovakian, a third-round pick of the Islanders in 1996, spends more time on the ice than any other Bruins player.Hes not just big in stature; hes a leader out there, fellow Bruins defenceman Dennis Seidenberg said. He takes up a lot of space in the defensive zone. Hes the biggest part of this team.Julien said he wouldnt have an update until doctors have a chance to look at Chara.When you lose your captain and one of your better defencemen, theres no doubt its going to have an effect on your team, the coach said. Youre going to lose guys during the season; those things happen. How you react to it and how you respond is whats important.The Islanders had a goal waved off in the first few minutes for goalie interference, but that barely slowed them down. They made it 1-0 six minutes into the game when Nielsen got to a puck in the crease and made a one-handed reach with his stick to tip it in.Lucic crashed the net for his first goal of the season to make it 1-1 near the end of the first, then Okposo made it 2-1 just 90 seconds into the second period.Clutterbuck gave New York a 3-1 lead midway through the second before the Bruins mounted sustained pressure in the Islanders zone in the third and cut the deficit to one on Kellys rebound with 10:11 remaining.NOTES: Tavares entered the night tied for the NHL scoring lead with three goals and seven assists. ... The Islanders are 4-1 against the Bruins in their last five games. ... Seth Griffith assisted on Lucics goal one game after earning his first NHL point with a goal against San Jose. ... Islanders LW Josh Bailey left the game with a hand injury after the second period and didnt return.
