Slow Down

With the wonderful scheduling the NHL has done for the playoffs, having both conference finals on the same night, things seem slow. It looks as though they will go each nigh now but nice momentum loss. 4 games all on same nights. Real smart. But anyways, I'm getting geared up for football season. I can't wait. The off season has dragged on big time. Not that hockey hasn't filled the gap, but it can only do so much. So as the playoffs wind down. And the draft coming up, that will be the end. And we can focus on football and baseball. Speaking of baseball, the Bluejays are a bit suprising right now aren't they?

Overwhelmed

Well I've been away for a couple days. But I doubt anyone noticed. Someday we'll have 5 followers. Maybe. Anyways, it's been a crazy few days in sports. Vancouver dominated Chicago at home, and chipped away at the series, now down 3-2. Montreal seemed to be brick walled for the most part by Fleury in Pittsburgh. And are down 3-2 in that series. Philly staved off elimination, and so on.. Can't wait to see it all play out. Some other news, Kimbo Slice was fired by UFC. And I'm not an MMA fan. So did you buy into the hype on him? In football, Kenton Keith was released by Hamilton. Probably a victim of numbers, seeing Cobb emerge as a star last year. So let the rumours start about the 29 year old and most likely the most explosive running back that ever played for the Riders. Count me in for seeing him back in green. And give me football soooon!

Word

So after the Habs were exposed last night, do you think they will rebound? Or are they finished versus the Pens. Tough call. Just a quick shout out to all the great catches made last night in MLB. Wow, to Pena and Byrd. Crazy stuff. But thats the stuff that gets me in the mood for ball, when the NHL playoffs are still on. And what's up with Chris Bosh asking his Twitter followers if he should stay or go? Get bent.

Touching Base

I'm headed out for the weekend and will be back on here Monday. So just wanted to re-cap a few things this morning. Whats up with the record low attendance at Blue Jays games? It's not like there's anything going on in Toronto right now. No Leafs, No Raps, No Argos...No Bills. The team doesn't look half bad. Well it's better than I had imagined anyway. Don't say its the economy because you can see a Jays game for like $15. Step it up Toronto before the Jays end up like the Expos! ... How bout those Devils?... So I for one was happy to see the Senators extend their series with Pittsburgh. Was nice to see they didn't throw in the towel. ... And did the regular season Sharks show up in the playoffs finally? Time will tell.

Don't let door hit you on the way out...

So maybe I'm jumping the gun here. But probably not. I can't see Chris Bosh re-signing with the Raptors. And you know what? I don't care. What exactly has he done in the last 7 years? It's been one signing after another to get players to shine along side of Bosh. And each time it has turned out to be a disaster. So is it the supporting casts fault? The coaching? Or CB4 himself. I'm thinking the latter. It seems he isn't the franchise we all hoped for. With huge signings last off season, I for one had high hopes the Raps would go deep in the playoffs. Not miss the playoffs. So I think its time to start over. Get the rebuild going. Draft well. And see if it works in a few years. It's really too bad. See ya CB4.

Been Around the world and I I I...

Hey sorry I've been away. Was trying to deal a deal. lol. But anyhow, I really haven't missed much at all. Which brings me back to, 'I hate this time of year'. What do we do? I dunno. No Rider news. Raiders missed the playoffs again. Jays look young, and I'll leave it at that for now. Tomlinson signed with the NY Jets, Gross. Ovie got 2 games for his hit on Campbell...and Campbell's done for the season. The Raptors suck ass, and I might not miss CB4 as much as I once thought. Anyways. I'll be back on track here soon....Give me a couple days.

Winter Blues

SO in the midst of my worst cold 'ever', I can't seem to take refuge in the sporting world. Whats going on that would take my mind off being sick? Oilers? Not likely. Raiders? Nope. Football season? Too far away. Olympics? All done. Hmm, seems I need something else. MLB spring training? Ya its on, but it takes a while to warm up to it. Raptors? No comment. Well how bout one. Start playing defence! Well I guess tonight I curl up with some soup and think about supporting some new teams...lol

Olympic Hangover

Yep, I'll admit as much as I wanted to go back to pro sports, I kinda miss the the hoopla. Oh well. Hopefully the trade deadline will keep us all interested. I for one hope the Oilers can deal away some payroll. But we'll see tomorrow. And by the way, I'm now fully on board for a new stadium (only with a retractable roof) in Regina. The more I read, and the more pictures I see, I'm being brainwashed into thinking this is an amazing idea... Time will tell.
