With the NHL dropping the puck for the stretch run of their season – after stupidly taking off time for the Olympics – I have a good question for Commissioner Gary Bettman: Were you watching the men’s ice hockey tournament? Because if he was, he might have noticed that the Olympic set of rules is [...]
They may have started out pretty rough – heck, a guy died before the Opening Ceremonies even took place – but the hosts sure come together and the as the days moved on.
The beginning of Vancouver 2010 was a comedy of errors, from the Georgian luger’s death to the weather being the warmest in Winter [...]
Team Canada’s ice hockey team had better thank their lucky stars for two things: That Roberto Luongo is currently better than Martin Brodeur and that they lost to the U.S. in the preliminary round.
Luongo’s play in net has far surpassed that of Canada’s apparent No. 1 goalie and now the whole country is reaping the [...]
It wasn’t exactly a sequel to the Miracle on Ice, but Sunday night’s game had a familiar story line. A young and plucky American ice hockey squad faced a juggernaut rival in a big Olympic moment. The USA, despite having the odds stacked against them, pulled out a win over the overwhelming favourite. Sure, winning [...]
Can you believe that we are living in a world in which the Winter Olympics are going on and that isn’t stopping pitchers and catchers from reporting to Spring Training? Spring Training and Winter Olympics going on at the same time? Sounds like some sort of paradox.
It could be easily argued that these Games hardly [...]
In case you didn’t notice by the endless commercials, promos and posters everywhere for the Winter Games, the Vancouver Olympics kicked off last night while the NHL packs up their league to sit around idle for two whole weeks in the middle of what should be the start to their stretch run.
Why would a league [...]
The Winter Olympic Games are just around the corner and that means the NHL will stop working and send its best players to out to represent their countries. The other 90% or so, they get a two week break with maybe a practice or two in the middle of the season. While I’m sure many [...]
I’ve really got to hand it Alex Rodriguez. He came out and did what many other players flat out refused to do; he admitted that he used performance enhancing drugs. And really, I respect him more now for doing it. This outcome is a lot less humiliating than what has gone on with Roger Clemens [...]
Since 2008 is very quickly coming to an end, we’re going to start seeing year-in-review and greatest-moments-of-the-year type articles and awards popping up everywhere. The first of which that I’ve seen is the Associated Press athlete of year award and if this where these awards are going, I don’t want to see any more handed [...]
I’ve got a few things I have to ask the sporting world. There have been a few calls and decisions made that just don’t make sense over the past few days and I’d like to address these.
How the hell did Matt Millen run the Lions (into ground) for so long and got away with doing [...]
