It’s that time of the year again. When Canadians forget that the MLB playoffs are still going on and even let their fantasy NFL squads gather a thin layer of dust. Yes, the NHL is starting up again. Only three months after we last left off, too. So, don’t be surprised that I don’t exactly [...]
I couldn’t be happier for Ed Belfour. He was one of the best goalies in the NHL for a decade and now a soon-to-be member of the Hockey Hall of Fame. He was also something even more important: He was my favourite hockey player growing up.
Even when I still supported the Leafs [...]
After reading about ESPN’s “Ultimate Team Rankings” report naming Toronto the worst city in North American professional sports, I was actually put at a loss for words to defend my home town. I should have actually seen it coming. After all, isn’t the foreshadowing here a bit in the standings? Toronto [...]
So, with Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final – every Canadian kid’s dream scenario – going tonight, there’s only one real question that it all boils down to: Which Roberto Luongo is going to show up?
Will it be the one that has allowed two goals in three games at home during the final, posting [...]
With both championship series both evened up at 2-2 after the Bruins’ mugging of the Canucks in Boston on Wednesday night, the NBA final and the Stanley Cup final both now come down to a best-of-three shootout. So, out of the four teams remaining, who has the best shot at winning it all? Let’s take [...]
I don’t think I’ve ever seen something like what happened during Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final on Wednesday night. After the first period, Alex Burrows and Patrice Bergeron got into it before clearing the ice. In typical scrum fashion, with a linesman trying to hold the two apart, the two combatants tried to [...]
After watching a borderline terrible opening game to the NBA’s final, it’s time to move onto Lord Stanley’s tournament and look at the Vancouver-Boston series for perhaps the coolest trophy in sports.
Both teams come into this series with a ton of baggage. The Boston Bruins may not have won a Stanley Cup in 39 years, [...]
I’m sure that Kevin Bieksa’s game-winning goal was just like they drew it up in the locker room between the first and second overtime. Well, not really because I don’t think that anybody has ever seen a weird bounce like that.
In fact, it seemed like Bieksa was the only player on the ice – maybe [...]
Being off for the long weekend, I haven’t had a chance to weigh in some pretty key events that have taken place and are currently going on in the world of sports. So, Let’s sum up some opinions from the nosebleeds, quick hits style.
THE NHL’S RETURN TO WINNIPEG
Well, it took you long enough. They’ll certainly [...]
As great and compelling both the NBA and NHL playoffs have been thus far, there is one storyline that is involved in both sports and is really starting to piss me off.
What is up with every crowd having to wear the same colour?
I get the whole thing from a unity standpoint, but visually, it’s just [...]
