[[Vancouver|VANCOUVER]] – On the heels of his benching against Calgary, it seemed likely that Edmonton head coach [[Danny Maciocia]] would leave [[Ricky Ray]] as the backup for the West final against the BC Lions. However, Maciocia said mid-week that Ray would start, leaving [[Jason Maas]] remaining as the backup. In BC, [[Dave Dickenson]] unsurprisingly got the start over former Most Outstanding Player [[Casey Printers]], leading some to joke that four of the CFL's best quarterbacks would be in this game.
