Based on the TV interviews it sounds like NEITHER Reilly NOR Durant will be starting this weeks playoff games. IMO, BOTH may dress, just in case, I guess. Based on the video clips shown and what they were saying (Durant/Reilly) Durant seems to be the more likely to go and play.

All four teams still alive won at least one of their last two games — Ham swept them both, the rest split — so this list will not grow in 2014. Mind you, BC was the only playoff team to lose both their last two games anyway so it was an unlikely proposition from the get-go.sj-roc wrote:According to some tweets from Rob Vanstone last night, only four teams have ever won the Grey Cup after losing their last two regular season games:
1971 Cgy
1976 Ott
1978 Edm
1988 Wpg
In 1971, Tor also lost their last two reg season games so one way or the other it would have happened that year anyway. 1988 Wpg was the only GC champion to lose its last three regular season games.
Sports can be a peculiar thing. When partaking in fiction, like a book or movie, we adopt a "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" for enjoyment's sake. There's a similar force at work in sports: "Willing Suspension of Rationality". If you doubt this, listen to any conversation between rival team fans. You even see it among fans of the same team. Fans argue over who's the better QB or goalie, and selectively cite stats that support their views while ignoring those that don't.
