Tuesday Thoughts

SJHL

I really think for the Bruins the next 4 road games will go a long way to determine how far they will go in the standings. If the Bruins could sweep the back to back games against Kindersley, I think it will be a big step for them to finish in the top 3.

NHL

Eric Staal and Nicklas Lidstrom are great captains, but for the All Star game my 4 choices ahead of them would have been Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin, Steve Stamkos, and Jonathan Toews. Still I'm looking forward to the draft next Friday.

NFL

Just thinking this year's NFL playoffs could be the final NFL action for extended period of time, makes me want to cry. This has been one of the most entertaining playoffs ever. Really looking forward to what should be a pair of solid Conference finals.

Wouldn't it be something if the Jets beat the Steelers on Sunday. To get to the Super Bowl, the Jets would have beaten Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger in one playoffs. Those 3 are the most successful QBs in the NFL over the last 10 years. The Jets definitely would have earned their way to the Super Bowl.

CFL

Love Richie Hall coming back to Saskatchewan as Defensive Coordinator. Even though the Riders made the Grey Cup, I thought there was only a few games where the Defence stood out for the Riders, I think Hall and Greg Marshall will bring some bite back to the Riders D.


Baseball

Going out on a limb, but I think the Jose Bautista will not be a Blue Jay at this time next year. I got the feeling Bautista will have a good year (he isn't hitting 54 homers again) and the Jays will end up trading him at the deadline, and continuing to rebuild.

UFC

Fight for the Troops is Saturday. Disappointed it's not Evan Dunham and Kenny Florian aren't fighting, but looking for Dunham to continue to rise even after getting robbed in the loss to Sean Sherk. Looking for Mark Hominick to get the win and set up a featherweight title shot against Jose Aldo.

That's it today.. See ya tomorrow
