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 [...]
After watching the Canadian federal Liberal party get absolutely crushed during Monday’s election, I tried to think of a sports comparison of what just happened. Well, there’re a few different routes you could go with this one.
Michael Ignatieff took over a party that was doing fine and led the, straight into the gutter. Sounds like [...]
So, which of these playoff feats is more improbable: The Blackhawks’ drive back from being down 3-0 in their series with the Canucks, or the Grizzlies demolishing the top-seeded Spurs and forcing them to the edge of elimination with a 3-1 series lead? Both are quite stunning and shouldn’t be discounted at all, but in [...]
After a season marred by concussions to top stars and head hits occurring on a basis that could almost be considered “rampant,” the National Hockey League has apparently still not got the point.
How else can you explain the fact that Vancouver’s Raffi Torres escaped punishment from the league for a blindside hit to the head [...]
Just because the playoffs kicked off Wednesday night, doesn’t mean we can’t post some predictions today, right? It’s not like there were any Game 1 upsets. So, without further ado, here we go.
Eastern Conference
Washington over New York Rangers in five.
New York just squeaking into the playoffs and the Capitals have reinvented themselves as a better [...]
Yes, it’s that time of year again Torontonians. It’s the time of year where everybody gives up their allegiance and starts rooting for teams that don’t don the blue and white. It’s the time of year when all that hope has finally given out and one of the NHL’s “marquee” teams has bitten the dust [...]
