On the day of the CFL's 112th Grey Cup, it seemed fitting to take the #FanTeaser north of the border. Did you have Doug Flutie as the CFL's GOAT? Many did and do.

Event No. 28 of the #aroundtheworldin80sportingevents project took me to Toronto's Scotiabank Arena for the Maple Leafs-Canadiens' NHL season-opener.

The GOAT? He might be, eh? Just to review, The Fan Teaser was the creation of former Ann Arbor News Sports Editor Geoff Larcom. Longtime friend and fellow Ann Arbor News alum, Pat Schutte, took it to heights previously unknown. We aim to keep it alive here at The Sports Fan Project.

It's wild how this wound up as this week's #FanTeaser, right? You saw this one coming at you like a Mitch Williams heater, correct? It seemed only fitting with the Toronto Blue Jays back in Ontario and an opportunity to claim their first World Series Championship since 1993, that's we'd feature Joe Carter - who's still not paying for a meal in Toronto 32 years later, we're sure - and his dramatic Series walk off home run in the bottom of the ninth off Williams, the Philadelphia Phillies' closer.
