Congratulations Celtics

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

I heard that you are the NBA champs, or something.  Good job.  The team with no players I care about beat the team with one player I dislike, and a coach that I used to like. I would’ve watched, too, but not having any games before 9pm (even on the weekend) made it difficult.  I [...]

NHL Playoff Picture

Monday, April 21st, 2008

A few more team advanced to the next round of the playoffs over the weekend, but not the defending champs.  The Dallas Stars took out the Ducks in 6 games, and join the Avalanche and the Red Wings coming out of the West.  Kipper forced game 7 for Calgary as the Flames shut out the [...]

Teams are not cooperating…

Friday, April 18th, 2008

Come on Boston, just roll over already!  Why are you trying so hard, Philly, don’t you know the league wants Ovechkin to advance?  Why did Brian Campbell suddenly become competent again?  UGH.

Random NHL Thoughts

Monday, April 14th, 2008

I watched a fair bit of the games last night, except for the part of the Calgary/San Jose game where I fell asleep (stupid late games).  The Rangers/Devils game helped me come to a decision on which team I want to win…the Devils, as I don’t ever want Sean Avery to win another game in [...]

Playoff Update

Friday, April 11th, 2008

Three series are underway in the East, with Montreal, Pittsburgh and the New York Rangers all holding a 1-0 lead.  Montreal scored twice in the first two minutes (one each from the Kostitsyns) and took the body on the supposedly more physical Bruins.  I’d vote the Bruins most likely team to get swept if the [...]

Ruff Makes His Point

Sunday, April 6th, 2008

The Buffalo Sabres ended their season on a high note, shutting out the Boston Bruins 3-0.  Jocelyn Thibault got the shutout, and Thomas Vanek (thanks to some unselfish play from Derek Roy) had all three goals for the natural hat trick.  Coach Ruff had the team playing a boring, defensive game to make a point [...]

I wonder if it’s the same bird that was assaulting Fenway.

Pittsburgh Holds Up Their End

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

…as did New Jersey, although they let Boston get a loser point.  Buffalo still has a shot at the playoffs with the losses by Philly (in a very rough game with Pittsburgh) and Boston.  The Sabres must take care of business tonight in Montreal, looks like Jaro Spacek might be back.  Great soundbite from him [...]

Sekera Staves Off Elimination

Monday, March 31st, 2008

For at least one more day.  Buffalo got the win in OT, but the loser point for Boston takes some of the margin for error that the Sabres have.  They HAVE to win all their games, and hope that the teams ahead of them start losing in regulation.  For the full playoff scenario, go here.
I [...]

Update: Boston WILL Go To Japan

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

They are going to Japan, but there is no info as to what exactly resolved the dispute.  That’s too bad, I was curious to see how MLB would handle if they really did refuse to travel.
