Hollywood ending

MontrealAlouettes.com

MONTREAL – To say Thursday’s Alouettes game had a Hollywood finish would be a suitable synopsis for the evening’s soaked show. It did after all have a leading cast of young stars, an unsuspecting hero, more than its share of plot twists, and even some special effects courtesy of Mother Nature.

But what if Week 9’s win actually did make the leap from the small screen to the silver screen?

Here are what some posters of the would-be summer blockbuster might look like.

 

300

This one’s easy. Tanner Marsh became the first Alouettes QB to pass for over 300 yards this season in a 329-yard effort that he didn’t even start. Prepare for glory? We’d say he’s ready for it.

 

Win City

Montreal earned its reputation as Sin City of the North thanks to its notorious nightlife, but Thursday night at a rain-slick Percival Molson Stadium a group of hardboiled Alouettes coined a new nickname for the town.

 

Marsh Attacks!

The B.C. Lions may have landed in Montreal expecting peace, but they were greeted instead with a piece of rookie QB Tanner Marsh’s mind, and rocket arm.

 

The Replacements

He may not have Keanu Reeves’ magnificent head of hair, but Tanner Marsh was nevertheless able to lead his determined team of replacements to a spirited win that nobody was expecting.
