With the emergence of Tyler Bozak in Toronto, it got me thinking, just who is the best NHLer to come out of College hockey?
We have seen a slew of great players come out of the Canadian Junior Hockey ranks, from Wayne Gretzky to Sidney Crosby, the CHL has been the creme de la creme when it comes to developing young NHL talent.

I've never heard so much talk of rumors and speculation about a free agent class before.
The class of 2010-2011 already has had a ton of speculation surrounding it. Now Jayson Werth's name is being added in.
Werth has finally caught on as an emerging star with the Phillies and will be in the final year of his contract in 2010. Werth will then join a free agent class with Lance Berkman, ...

It has almost arrived. The NBA's equivalent for March Madness. For now we can content ourselves with watching our collegiate players try to identify their game and muse themselves higher into the draft.
But come April, the big boys take over. All 16 teams; some powerhouses, some obvious teams, some new comers; all trying to take over. All trying to claim possession of the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
You listen, you read; ...
When Joba Chamberlain took the mound in his first major league appearance, he piqued everyone's interest. The Yankees hyped him up as a special pitcher.
Chamberlain backed it up by pitching well in relief for the first few weeks of his callup in 2007. For good measure, he earned a standing ovation from the fans and respect from his teammates for throwing the ball at Kevin Youkilis’ head.
Joe Torre ...

For The Good Of The Game: Why the Coyotes simply must relocate North
Posted: 27th March 2010 by Joe Mikolai in NHL
Over the past several weeks we've seen the Phoenix Coyotes continue to make a mockery of the NHL by refusing to wallow in their own self pity and vanish into thin air and eventually resurface somewhere in the North where they belong.
Instead of going away, as I've suggested so many times, (see Hockey Traditionalists Better Hope Coyotes, Thrashers, and Panthers lose soon ) only the fast-fading Atlanta Thrashers and ...

Joba Chamberlain got his first taste of action as a reliever this spring. He had a save in today’s 2-1 win over the Detroit Tigers. Here is some other news on a nice Saturday afternoon:
The Yankees may have an inside track on signing outfielder Jayson Werth next season thanks to Reggie Jackson’s relationship with his family. Jackson went out to eat with Werth yesterday, but said the meeting was strictly ...
"I can't wait for it to end."
With one simple comment, Cole Hamels sparked a searing firestorm of questions from his team, baseball fans, and the nationwide sports media alike.

San Francisco Giants Up the Stakes By Extending Brian Wilson and Jeremy Affeldt
Posted: 27th March 2010 by Andrew Brining in MLB
Love him or hate him, agree or disagree with his maneuvering, you cannot accuse San Francisco Giants General Manager Brian Sabean of being timid.
Given Sabes' recent run of iffy transactions—the Barry Zito-Scott Boras debacle, prematurely inking Edgar Renteria, the pending merit of the Freddy Sanchez swap, and so on—you might think the guy would lay low for a while. Enjoy the shelter of his new two-year extension.
Guess not.
Instead of coasting ...
