Egland scores Teddy Bear Toss goal but Pats lose in OT

Over 3,000 stuffed animals were tossed onto the ice.
I was deleting some old emails and texts and realized that the Saskatchewan Roughriders fan base has gone through a lot in the last few months.
We start with Dec. 20. The CFL schedule was released. As is always the case, Rider fans could go about making plans for their summer holidays. Supporters were feeling good.
In January, fans seemed to be indifferent when Chris Jones left for the NFL. Ticket-holders who reached out in February were really down when attempts to land Bo Levi Mitchell, Mike Reilly or even Trevor Harris failed through free agency.
Jump ahead to Week 1 of the regular season when Zach Collaros was hurt on the third offensive play and many thought a playoff spot was beyond reach.
Now, less than a month later, Cody Fajardo has this fan base feeling like the Riders on Saturday can knock off the defending Grey Cup-champion Stampeders, whose starting quarterback is also injured.
It’s an emotional rollercoaster for the CFL’s most passionate fans.
