In A World of Sports

Well the NBA trade deadline has left us with what will likely be the rosters teams will have going into the playoffs (with the exception of teams buying up waived or bought out players).  So with that in mind, I decided to look at the current playoff matchups and predict 1st round outcomes were the […]

So yesterday was one of my favourite days of the year, the NHL trade deadline.  What fun.  In Canada we have three networks with all-day coverage starting at about 8:30 a.m. going all the way up to just past the 3 p.m deadline.  Imagine that.  Last year’s deadline I missed because I was in Australia […]

This isn’t entirely shocking news.  Peter Forsbery has signed a one-year contract to return to the NHL this season.  This annoucement comes only a couple weeks after Forsberg asked his agent to tell teams he is likely not going to return.  Interesting…

Well it’s […]

*** Updated At Bottom
ESPN.com is reporting that trade talks between Dallas and New Jersey have heated up again after the two teams played each other in Jersey on Sunday, a game which featured only one team on the floor for most of the night (Nets won 101-82).
The report states that Dallas would be sending Devin […]

So here we are for another exciting chapter in the far too publicised but always entertaining world of steroids in baseball.  Well I guess steroids is rather narrow-minded, let’s use the term performance enhancing drugs, because that includes HGH (and others I’m sure), and makes them sound ambiguous.  They enhance performace = good, drugs = […]

The Ottawa Senators have decided to shake up their lineup a bit to help get them out of the funk that has recently plagued the team.  Today they swapped Patrick Eaves and Joe Corvo for Cory Stillman and Mike Commodore.  This move comes in spite of a 6-1 statement win over the Montreal Canadiens on […]
