This home stretch will determine who gets what in terms of a playoff berth, home playoff games and the bye to the West Division final. "This is the best part of the season," running back Jon Cornish said. "Over the last few years, Ive sort of realized that nothing really matters except for these last six games. "With that in mind, I think this team is really going to prepare for that. Were going to be ready to take on all these opponents because were playing great teams." Cornish, the CFLs most outstanding player in 2013 and leading rusher the last two seasons, will play Saturday after sitting out the game in Montreal. Cornish didnt travel with the team in order to heal undisclosed aches and pains. The 29-year-old from New Westminster, B.C., missed six games in July and August with concussion symptoms.

"Probably will not make this game, maybe as a No. 3 guy. Hopefully hell be full-go for the next game." Calgary has built a reputation for winning despite injuries. They were 14-4 last season despite using three different starting quarterbacks. But the Stampeders may have neared the limit of their depth Sunday in Montreal. Not only were the starting quarterback and star running back absent, but leading receiver Marquay McDaniel was on the six-game injured list with a broken bone in his hand from the Toronto game. The Stampeders managed two touchdowns on the ground and less than 300 yards on offence, but it was on the other side of the ball where Calgary was uncharacteristically porous. A team allowing an average of 18 points per game gave up 31. Montreals offence had the ball for almost 38 minutes, while Calgarys time of possession was just over 23. Team sack leader Charleston Hughes (foot), defensive tackle Demonte Bolden (leg) and Hughess backup Ben DAguilar (knee) were also injured in the Toronto game.

Its further decimated a defensive line that was already without starters Micah Johnson (knee) and Corey Mace (foot). "Thats no excuse for the way we played," defensive end Shawn Lemon said. "It doesnt matter who is out. If youre on this team we believe we can step up. I take it upon myself as well. I didnt play up to my expectations and I wasnt an impact in the last game. "Just got to gain momentum back. We took a step back last week so just come out and get back to what we were doing the first 11 weeks of the season." The Stampeders added defensive lineman Caesar Rayford to the practice roster Tuesday. He played seven games and recorded five tackles for the NFLs Dallas Cowboys last season.
