The Division Finals have come and gone, and two teams remain: The Calgary Stampeders and Ottawa REDBLACKS emerged victorious on Sunday.
Let’s take a look at how things shook down on the social.
Ottawa 46, Hamilton 27
The REDBLACKS handled their business and then some, smacking Hamilton 46-27 and confirming their status as the best team in the East Division in 2018.
Ottawa QB Trevor Harris threw a league-record six touchdown passes in a playoff game, while Ticats pivot Jeremiah Masoli chucked three interceptions.
Yep, Trevor Harris is elite.#CFL #ArrowUp pic.twitter.com/ae1BrBpqTr

A big-time crowd showed up and showed out for the big game in Ottawa, and a number of REDBLACKS took to Twitter to thank their fans.

Then, as the Western Final wound down, the REDBLACKS sent a little late-night message to their 106th Grey Cup opponents.

Calgary 22, Winnipeg 14
CFL on TSN analyst Milt Stegall summarized Sunday’s late game succinctly: Calgary scored a trio of touchdowns, while Matt Nichols and the Winnipeg offence were held out of the end zone.
Difficult to win if you can’t score #TouchDowns @cfl @CFLonTSN

The fallout of the loss, on the Bombers side of the matchup, was understandably tough.
💔💔… this one stings more then ever. Love my squad, our organization, our fans and my city. Thank you to everyone that was rocking with us. #Relentless #ForTheW

“Honestly, I was in the bathroom crying so I waited until I calmed down a little bit and then I just went up to each and every player and told them I loved them and appreciated everything they did,” #Bombers RB Andrew Harris said. “I’m heartbroken man.” #wfp https://t.co/0cWcDk3bBe

All smiles and continued determination on the Stamps side of things, meanwhile.
