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 [...]
Working in the sports department, this is one of those weeks that you both hate to love and love to hate. Just think about how much is going in this span of seven days. Well, it’s kind of actually eight days, but who cares?
First of all, three of North America’s biggest sports are in progress. [...]
Many might think getting sick and watching TV all weekend would be the perfect storm for a blogger like myself, but really, you just don’t have the energy to rail off on somebody as stupid as Matt Cooke. And he really deserved it too – along with the upset-tacular March Madness games we saw.
While giving [...]
I don’t care if he says it wasn’t intentional, I don’t care how many times hits like those have happened before, there was no possible way that the NHL could have simply let Zdeno Chara walk away scot-free after his hit on Max Pacioretty.
After the Bruins’ massive defenceman shoved the Habs forward into a stanchion, [...]
You could call it the trade dud-line the trade DEADline or whatever you wish, but whichever way you slice the NHL’s trading ceasefire commenced on Monday with little movement to speak of after some lofty expectations.
Look at recent deadlines and the kind of movement they produced:
-In the NBA, two superstars swapped sides and some contenders [...]
What is the point in even taking defensive players to these all-star games anymore? It’s not like anybody actually tries to stop the other side from scoring. When was the last time you saw a real NHL game where the teams combined for 21 goals? Or when was the last time that two NFL teams [...]
