There isn’t, in case you’re wondering, a raw, visceral, bordering-on-rabid thirst for atonement.

No IOUs to call in.

No lingering animosity. Nobody gleefully poking hat-pins in some homemade Ricky Ray voodoo doll.

“The hype?’’ DaVaris Daniels shrugged resignedly. “That’s a media thing.

“You guys have to do it and the fans love it. People are gonna talk. So it’s good. As a competitor, you don’t mind hype.

“But it’s early, we’re still plugging new guys into different places and figuring our team out. So the focus is on the here and now, making sure we’re progressing, rather than beating this particular team because …”

Saturday at BMO Field, 5 p.m. MDT, the 2017 Grey Cup rematch: Toronto Argos vs. Calgary Stampeders.

As everyone hereabouts is aware, the particulars of the Argos’ 27-24 win in snowy Ottawa last Nov. 26 almost defied description.

Meaning Saturday there should be revenge and retribution storylines aplenty.

Well, at least from the outside looking in.

A year ago, Week 1, remember, the Stamps ventured into the nation’s capital and drew 31-31 with the Ottawa Redblacks who’d outlasted them in an astonishing overtime game at the previous November’s Grey Cup tilt.

So this scenario is, by now, becoming old hat.

“We move on in the off-season,’’ said middle linebacker Alex Singleton. “You let it go. You have to.

“It’s a celebration, their home-opener after winning the Grey Cup. They deserve it. They won. It’s for their fans. It’s like the halftime at the Grey Cup game. We didn’t see it. We didn’t see Shania Twain ride in on a sled, either.

“Neither team is the same as last November. They’ve made changes. So have we.

“I know it’s what everybody says, and it might not be what you want to hear, but it’s true: Yes, this is a big game but only because it’s the next one.

“They already got their rings a few weeks ago. And they’ll remember that game forever. So will we, for a very different reason. But honestly, it’s in the past. I guarantee the guys I know on that team aren’t celebrating the Grey Cup anymore.

“This is 2018. It’s their home-opener. They’ve got a game to win, just like we do.”

In the curtain-raisers for both clubs last weekend, Calgary dispatched Hamilton 28-14 in front of the friendly folk at McMahon Stadium, while the Argos succumbed 27-19 to the Green Riders at New Mosaic due east on the Saskatchewan flatlands.

“We like the way we started,” said Stamps’ head coach Dave Dickenson. “They got beat, so I know for a fact that they’re going to be ready to play us.

“I hope a lot of people come. I’m a believer in the CFL. I’m a believer in all the clubs. I believe the game is fun to watch and provides a lot of drama.

“So I just want people to show up and support the games.

“We know Toronto has had some (attendance) issues so I hope the people are there and make it a great environment.”

For quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell, as for all the returnees in red and white, a scar remains from the hard-to-wrap-your-head-around Grey Cup loss but the wound has healed.

“Honestly, man, I think there’d be more attention if it happened, like last year, in that first game, people talking Grey Cup rematch all off-season,’’ reasoned the 2016 MOP.

“We’ve each played once so for both of us it’s next game up.

“We’re just trying to get better. This is a long season and it’s a process. Everything was there (offensively) against Hamilton. Game plan-wise the coaches put us in a helluva position to win but we as players did a decent enough job but not good enough by our, or my, standards.

“We definitely want to make sure we’re finishing what we start out there in the red zone. Making six trips in and only coming away with one touchdown isn’t getting the job done.

“So that’s where our focus is.”
