The Battle of Ontario features two team that are both coming off wins from last week – the Tiger-Cats were very impressive in their 55-36 beat down of Calgary in Moncton and the Argos were less impressive in their uninspiring 25-24 win versus Winnipeg in a game that a late single point on a missed field goal was the difference.
The New York Giants, coming off their most impressive performance in the young season travel east on Sunday to take on a Cardinals team that is coming off perhaps their worst performance of the year.
The St. Louis Rams will be looking for their first win of the season on Sunday when they take on a Washington Redskins team that fought hard but came out on the losing end on Monday night. While Washington continues to surprise in the NFC, St. Louis continues to disappoint.
The Seattle Seahawks have to be pleased to get their first win of the season out of the way. Now comes the real test – maintaining some improved play against an elite team that finds themselves at the bottom of their own division.

In the light of ownership issues and the departure of Dallas’s best player via free agency, GM Joe Nieuwendyk had plenty of work to do this offseason – none of it all that appealing. The Dallas Stars chore now – just remain competitive.
The Phoenix Coyotes will enter the 2011-2012 season without two players that defined their overachieving persona over the past couple of years. Goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov has left for the greener pastures of Philadelphia and Ed Jovanovski has gone back to Florida to likely finish his career.
The Anaheim Ducks enter the 2011-2012 season hoping to build off a terrific second half of the 2010-2011 season. Anaheim will go with largely the same roster as the one that finished second in the Pacific last season including league MVP Corey Perry and Teemu Selanne who committed to one more season in Anaheim.
With the Kings’ main rival in the Pacific Division making significant moves to improve their team during the offseason, the Los Angeles Kings made sure that they were not left out of the roster shaping party.
