Here is a look at the best in social media from around the Canadian Football League in Week 8.
Winnipeg at Toronto
The Bombers and Argos squared off on #TNF, with Toronto pulling out a stunning upset; the two teams were feisty on Twitter throughout the day.

Less than two kilometres from BMO Field is Lamport Stadium, home of the rugby league’s Wolfpack; a handful of players were on-hand to support their next-door neighbours.
Arrrrrgoooos!

Naturally, there was a large contingent of travelling Bombers fans in the 6ix, including one Joe Pritchard who, with wife Stephanie, travelled from Wisconsin for the game.
Talk about a big win for the Argos!
Hamilton at Saskatchewan
The Riders social team got every angle of Cody Fajardo’s game-winning touchdown.

Then, they got the Celine Dion pumping and made it, objectively, 100 times better.

The Tabbies weren’t happy with the loss, and Delvin Breaux — the man beat outside by Fajardo for the TD — took to Twitter. (Next up for Hamilton? A home date with 1-6 BC)
It’s all about how you respond… I love adversity…

Ottawa at Montreal
First off, let’s just reflect on DeVonte Dedmon’s ridiculous, Pinball-esque TD:
WOW. Describe this return in one word aaaannnd… GO.

Goodness gracious.
It was a much-needed OT win for the REDBLACKS, who were backed by strong road support and now sit within striking distance of a home playoff spot in the East.

Edmonton at Calgary
The Esks were backed by a strong group of travelling fans for this year’s first edition of the Battle of Alberta.

Good vibes aside, Scary Terry got the Stamps back into it with a big response TD.
After the win and despite mounting injuries, the Stamps are once again in (a share of) first place in the West.
hey guys, what place are we in right now?

Calgary stayed winning post-game, with the announcement they’re fostering a puppy.
We’re fostering a puppy from the @CochraneHumane with the help of @KendraWatt, but we still need a name…
So we enlisted the help of our players! Take a look! pic.twitter.com/PBOX6DTVUM
