Montreal 2 New Jersey 4 (Bell Centre) A 'let's hope the Habs don't face the Devils in the playoffs' seemed to be the popular refrain from fans after the game. The Canadiens have been doing their best to comply with a 1-2-2 record in their last five games.  Instead, they must again be concerned about making the playoffs at all. With ...

The Roberto Luongo Debate û Part Two

Posted: 27th March 2010 by Nucks IceMan in NHL
Since this topic has been milked to death, and a lot of comments came from it, this will be the last that I mention it this season. Well maybe for a while since there are playoffs coming up.  This term “greatness” has been bandied about in relation to Canucks Roberto Luongo’s goaltending performance since he arrived in Vancouver. So let’s start out by expressing that Luongo,  like every other NHL goaltender, is ...

San Diego Chargers: How They’ll Fill Their Holes

Posted: 27th March 2010 by J Beckett in NFL
Wow, its been an interesting offseason. We've sent a lot of Chargers heading in new directions this year. We've created some mighty big shoes to fill in this years draft. Honestly, we've presented ourselves with an akward array of needs. Not only do we need players, but we need them ready to start. There won't be much room to grow, with all of our trading and getting nobody to fill a ...
LeBron James currently leads the league in scoring with an average of 29.8 points per game. He holds a slight edge over Kevin Durant, who trails by just a tenth of a point at 29.7 per game. But according to James, whether or not he finishes the season on top doesn't matter. What does matter, however, is that we are all aware that he could win the scoring title if ...

Chicago Should Jump on Brown-Sims Swap

Posted: 27th March 2010 by Steve Pauley in NFL
The rumored trade between the Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks that would swap DE Alex Brown and G Rob Sims is so good for both sides that it almost makes too much sense. After announcing that they're desperate to move Brown, Chicago has put itself in a position where teams can simply wait for the veteran defensive end to be released rather than give up an asset in return. In Seattle, former fourth ...

2010 NFL Draft Oakland Raiders Mock Draft: Unpredictable

Posted: 27th March 2010 by Elias Trejo in NFL
Trying to figure out an Oakland Raider mock draft can be best described by Forrest Gump when he is talking about a box of chocolates. You never know what you are gonna get. Normally you try mapping out the Raider's needs, and what players are rated the highest and what picks make the most sense. Then a sudden epiphany occurred. This is the Raiders we're talking about, you can't do that. ...

2010 NBA Playoffs: Point Guard Is a Point Of Concern For LA Lakers

Posted: 27th March 2010 by Hadarii Jones in NBA
Speed kills, and for the number of times the Los Angeles Lakers have been decimated by opposing point guards they more than qualify to appear in the next public service announcement as the perfect example. The Lakers' 91-75 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday night was akin to viewing a horrible movie which is played constantly despite the poor quality. Soul Plane comes to mind. Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant ...
