  • Stanley Cup – Round 1 Prediction – Was I Psychic?

    Lets see how I did and then predict the second round. Eastern Conference New York Rangers vs Ottawa Senators I called Rangers in 5.  The series went seven and I came away impressed with the Senators.  I think  they are back and must be considered a budding force in the future. Boston Bruins vs Washington…

  • Stanley Cup – Round 1 Predictions

    The season is over, the seedings are done and now we begin the craziest 2 months in sports, the Stanley Cup playoffs.  In order to become champion, a team must win 4 straight best of seven series, each one more intense than the previous.  Players will be tired, bruised and battered, yet will carry on…

  • It Is Time For Hockey To Rule

    Today marks the end of the regular season in the NHL, meaning you will see a lot of hockey here for the next couple of months.  Just warning you.  If you happen to be a Vancouver Canuck fan, you may want to stop following me for this period, as I will likely have a few…

  • Friday Funnies – Alexander Ovechkin

    Superstar hockey player and a rap song.  Not a common denominator.  Washington Capital superstar, Alexander Ovechkin, makes an appearance in a Russian rap video.  With apologies to T at Mona Lisa Memoirs, a devout Caps fan, I will now proceed with the Friday Funny.  To set  the mood, Alex is an NHL player with unbelievable…

  • Canada Sports Update

    Don’t touch on sports to much anymore, but it has been an interesting few weeks.  First off, the Rugby World Cup 2011was completed last week, and I can’t believe this but I am now hooked on rugby.  Great game and nothing beats the challenge (Haka) by the All Blacks of New Zealand at the beginning…

  • Winnipeg Jets First Home Game in 15 Years

    Need I say or write more??  Great video on YouTube of the 15 minutes prior to the game.  I watched the first Winnipeg Jets game in a sports bar in Montreal where there was a lot of cheering going on, but for the wrong reasons, but the beer was good and we had good seats. …

    To put closure to my series of articles on the AIHL (Australian Ice Hockey League), the league held it’s Championship Series On September 3 and 4th, 2011.  The Melbourne Ice won the title (Goodall Cup) for the second year in a row by defeating Newcastle North Stars (North Stars…which you can’t see from Australia)  3-2…

  • Where Is The Stanley Cup – Part 10 – Thornton, Paille and Peverley

    Shawn Thornton‘s day with the cup happened in Toronto.  He hosted a supper at  360 The Restaurant in the CN Tower with the Stanley Cup.  Afterwards, the cup went on a pub tour of Toronto and Oshawa before ending up back at the CN Tower for a day tour of the Edge Walk.  The cup…

  • Check Out This Goal

    Canada may be the world’s foremost hockey power, and we prove it, even when we are playing for other teams around the world.  The goal below is by an Israeli-Canadian, playing for Israel in Division 3 of the IIHF championships.  I love this, during Israel’s 26-2 victory over Greece, Eliezer Sherbatov schooled the world with…
