It’s been six years since the Lions faced the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the West Division semifinal at B.C. Place, but the matchup has stayed with the veteran defensive lineman.
“I remember it was a really, really tough game,” Menard said. “It was a physical game and it took everything that we had at the moment.
“But the feeling after, though, it was amazing, winning that game at home. It was just an amazing feeling and I can’t wait for Sunday to have the same feeling again, but even better.”
