VANCOUVER - The last two seasons have ended in bitter disappointment for the Calgary Stampeders. Danny Santana Jersey .A loss to the Toronto Argonauts in the 2012 Grey Cup was followed up by last seasons defeat in the West Division final against the Saskatchewan.But all that hurt will be wiped away if Calgary can walk out of B.C. Place Stadium on Sunday night with a victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the 102nd edition of the CFL championship.Weve put all the work in, were excited, Stampeders slotback Nik Lewis said after Saturdays final walkthrough. Now you have to try and calm your nerves and take your mind away from football for a while.When we show up (Sunday) its go time.A veteran of 11 seasons, Lewis won the Grey Cup with Calgary in 2008, but has also been around for a lot of the heartbreak.This is what I used to visualize as a kid, running through the yard throwing the ball up to yourself, said Lewis. Ive thrived on this moment.Weve done everything we need to do up until this point. Now weve just got to finish the job. Its not going to be easy, but it will be worth it.The Stampeders beat the Edmonton Eskimos in the West final after a 15-3 regular season, while the Tiger-Cats topped Montreal in the East after a 9-9 campaign.Its going to be a very hard-fought game, said Calgary quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell. Its going to be a dogfight, its going to be a battle. People are going to walk away hurt, and some people are going to walk away happy.Weve got to make sure were on the right end of that.Stampeders head coach and general manager John Hufnagel has taken part in his fair share of big games and said hes happy with how his team as responded this week.The mood of the team is good, he said. Theyve been very focused.Im pleased with the overall mental state of our football team.While some players use visualization to prepare and motivate themselves, Mitchell uses negative thoughts to help him get ready.I think about the other team holding up the trophy, said the 24-year-old. I think about the other guys winning the awards, holding the trophy, the (confetti) in their colours, their fans being happy because that wakes me up and that motivates me.From the moment I wake up it says: We dont have it yet. I know we dont because its not in our hands. Dale Murphy Jersey . -- Kevin Stadler might be playing in the Masters for the first time, but hes already showing his old man a thing or two.

The Heat are one win away from becoming the fourth team in NBA history to reach four consecutive finals appearances and all that stands between them and the record books is the pesky Indiana Pacers. Watch the game live on TSN and TSN GO at 8:30pm et/5:30pm pt. The two teams rekindle the Eastern Conference Finals Friday night at AmericanAirlines Arena. The Boston Celtics made a whopping 10 in a row from 1957-66, then the Los Angeles Lakers turned the trick from 1982-85. The Cs did it once again, battling those same Lakers a few times, from 1984-87. Miami lost the championship in 2011, then won back-to-back titles in 2012 and 2013. The Heat are a perfect 7-0 in South Beach this postseason and had a chance Wednesday to advance and get plenty of rest before the NBA Finals begin Thursday. The Pacers werent ready to call it a season. Indiana staved off elimination with a 93-90 Game 5 victory at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in one of the most entertaining playoff games in recent memory. All it took was a Herculean effort from Paul George, a foul-plagued LeBron James and crazy antics from Lance Stephenson, which included, but was not limited to, pinching and blowing in James ear. George was magnificent as he scored 31 of his 37 points after the break, including 21 in the fourth quarter. "I just came out firing. My teammates found me and I got hot," said George, who shot 15-of-28 from the floor. "I felt in rhythm, regardless of who was guarding me. I was just in the zone." The Heat essentially played the entire second and third quarters without James, who battled foul trouble throughout and finished with a career playoff- low seven points on 2-of-10 shooting. "Its not something Im accustomed to," James said of sitting with foul trouble. "I wasnt able to make plays and help our team win." Then, there was Stephenson. The wild-card played a pivotal role in Indianas Game 5 success, despite the silly instance where he blew in James ear, or when he pinched James side, or even when he listened in on a small huddle between Heat coach Erik Spoelsttra and two of his players. John Smoltz Jersey. "Just trying to help my team win, whatever it takes. Theres a lot on the line now. Just trying to win games," Stephenson explained. Lost in the bizarre nature of his ways, Stephenson proved to be a huge catalyst in the Pacers comeback. Indiana trailed by nine at the half, then ratcheted up the defensive intensity over the final 24 minutes. Stephenson picked up full court and George manned the passing lanes. They forced turnovers and George finished with six steals. The defensive pressure created easy shots for the Pacers, who scored 31 in the third quarter after posting only 33 in the first half. A George slam off a steal pushed Indianas lead to 77-66 early in the final stanza, but nine consecutive Miami points in less than two minutes brought the Heat right back. Miami never got over the hump -- thanks to George countering nearly every Heat basket with one of his own -- but the visitors closed within 91-90 following Rashard Lewis sixth 3-pointer with 16 seconds to go. The Pacers went 1-for-3 from the foul line over the closing seconds and the Heat had a chance for the tie or the lead. James knifed through the lane, encountered Indiana center Roy Hibbert, kicked it out to an open Chris Bosh in the corner. Bosh missed and the Pacers live to see another day. "Weve been able to win a road game in each playoff series weve been involved in the last two years, and we have a confidence that this series will be the same, that we can go into Game 6 and be able to get a W." Pacers coach Frank Vogel said after practice Thursday. The world will likely see a different Heat team on Friday, one with James making an impact and not in warmups. "Hes going to come out and play with a lot of energy. Im sure hes got a lot built up from not playing much in Game 5," said George. And despite James foul woes, the Heat had a good look at a shot to win the game. But, the Heat werent interested in how close it was without the best player in the world. "Aint no moral victories for us. We win or we lose. Thats it," said James. If the Pacers survive, Game 7 would be Sunday in Indianapolis.
