The Vezina trophy is given out annually to the national hockey league goalie who is judged to be “best” at his position.
When introduced it in 1927 it was designed to commemorate George Vezina, the great Canadien’s goalie who died of tuberculosis the year before. The trophy was handed to the goalie or goalies who gave up the fewest goals in a season.
Back then there was only one goalie per team so ...

Posted: 29th March 2010 by Eric Stashin in MLB
Why do people continuously undervalue Bobby Abreu?
Exactly what does he have to do to prove that what he does year in and year out is for real? He moved out to Los Angeles last season and once again performed like a top outfielder:
.293 batting average (165-for-563)
15 home runs
103 RBI
96 runs
30 stolen bases
.390 on-base percentage
.435 slugging percentage

2010 NFL Draft: Is Jimmy Clausen a Smokescreen for the Cleveland Browns?
Posted: 29th March 2010 by Brian DiTullio in NFL
The draft chess game the Cleveland Browns' front office must play continues with Jimmy Clausen being the latest move.
Team President Mike Holmgren publicly stated he wished he liked Clausen more, yet the QB from Notre Dame will be visiting the Browns soon.
Nothing a front office says or does prior to the draft should be taken as gospel, since the knowledge of who the Browns truly want with their first-round ...
A blogger who lives in Iowa and writes The Pete Myers Rules, a blog that often waxes poetic about days gone by in the NBA (such as when Charles Barkley was known as a stud power forward and not for being a complete buffoon), has written an extensive post about his journey to see Ames, Iowa high school basketball star Harrison Barnes (SF, 6′7″, 2010), a UNC commit and ...
San Jose Sharks: Why Joe Thornton’s Injury Is a Good Thing
Posted: 29th March 2010 by MJ Kasprzak in NHL
Joe Thornton is the leading scorer for the San Jose Sharks.
Not just this season, either: Jumbo has scored more points as a Shark than anyone else every year except his first (2005-06) in Teal, when he joined two months into the season. That season, he led the entire league and still gave Patrick Marleau and Jonathan Cheechoo a run for their money in Sharks scoring.
He had also played ...

Posted: 29th March 2010 by Erick Blasco in NBA
Throughout the middle portions of the decade, the San Antonio Spurs were a powerhouse, capturing three titles during the middle of the 2000s to add to the one they captured in 1999. And it’s hard to forget the Boston Celtics’ championship captured the season before last. But as the Lakers, Cavs, and Magic have ascended to the NBA’s forefront, Boston and San Antonio have played like eidolons of ...
Why is it that all over the Internet, Washington Capitals fans are ragging on Jeff Schultz?
Granted, there is nothing elegant about his play. There's nothing sexy about Jeff Schultz. There, I said it. C'mon, not every defenseman can be Paul Coffey or Nick Lidstrom!
Have you noticed who is leading in +/- ratings this year? The top 3 are: Alex Ovechkin (+44); Schultz (+37); and Nick Backstrom (+34). Face it, Schultz ...
