NY Red Bulls’ Luke Rodgers Almost Decapitated A Female Spectator Last Night (Video)
You don’t hear too many people saying “soccer is a game of inches,” but it certainly was for one female spectator at the Home Depot Center last night. Luke Rodgers was already in an unfavorable position with the Los Angeles Galaxy fans, as his goal in the opening minutes of yesterday’s second leg of the [...]

The Stat Line of the Night — 12/7/10 — Luis Scola
The Houston Rockets were expected to play better than they have so far this season, but don’t blame Luis Scola, who is having a career year. While the Rockets stumbled out of the gate, they appear to be righting the ship with wins like the one they earned last night against the Detroit Pistons. Scola [...]

The Stat Line of the Night – 11/23/10 – Dirk Nowitzki
It took Dirk Nowitzki’s entire arsenal, and some help from his teammates, for the Dallas Mavericks to overcome the lowly Detroit Pistons last night. Thankfully for Dallas, Dirk’s arsenal is enormous and effective. He was his usual self last night, scoring on a variety of 3-pointers, jumpers, layups, and post moves. After trailing by as [...]

Red Wings Datsyuk Likely Out For Game Three
Total Pro Sports – Up two games and looking to make it a 3-0 strangle-hold tonight in Chicago, the Detroit Red Wings will be without their top scorer from the regular season. Pavel Datsyuk did not take part in this morning’s skate and is unlikely to play in tonight’s game 3 of the Western Conference [...]

It’s Crunch Time: NHL Western Conference
Total Pro Sports – With the seventh and eleventh place in the Western Conference separated by 3 points it has reached that point in the season where every shift of every game is crucial. The National Hockey League has never seen parody in the sport since the dawn of time. It seems that the “new” [...]

2008/09 Minnesota Wild Season Preview
1. Minnesota Wild – This may or may not surprise some people. Minnesota probably has the most underrated team in the NHL. From the net out they have a solid team that plays great but doesn’t really catch anyone’s eye, except for Gaborik of course. Lead by Marian Gaborik the Wild have a good forward [...]

2008/09 Calgary Flames Season Preview
2. Calgary Flames – They finished third in the division last year, but they’re always a hard working team and added two forwards who will help put the puck in the net. Jarome Iginla highlights the Flames’ forwards. Daymond Langkow is a very underrated center and Matthew Lombardi can skate like the wind. The rest [...]

2008/09 Edmonton Oilers Season Preview
3. Edmonton Oilers – A bit of a surprise pick here but they finished off last season on fire and their young players will be that much better after a year of experience. After some smooth moves, by then GM Kevin Lowe, the Oilers have a very good group up front. Ales Hemsky, Shawn Horcoff, [...]

2008/09 Colorado Avalanche Season Preview
4. Colorado Avalanche – Probably a big surprise for most people having this team this low. I like their forwards but their defence could be better and their goaltending could end up being the worst tandem in the league. Up front the Avalanche look good with Milan Hejduk, Ian Laperriere, Ryan Smyth, Paul Stastny, Marek [...]

2008/09 Vancouver Canucks Season Preview
5. Vancouver Canucks – The Canucks lineup isn’t terrible when healthy. The problem is they never are. The forwards are decent, but not good enough for a contending team. The Sedin twins showed last year that they are becoming first line talent. The additions of Pavol Demitra and Steve Bernier will help with scoring, but [...]

2008/09 NHL Northwest Divison Standings Preview
Time to keep on truckin’ in the Western Conference. Today I’ll be taking a look at the teams in the highly competitive Northwest Division. Lets take a look at where these teams will finish this year in my 2008 – 2009 Northwest Divison Standings Preview. 2008 – 2009 Northwest Divison Standings Preview Rank Team Rec [...]

2008/09 St. Louis Blues Season Preview
5. St. Louis Blues Like Columbus, I’m a fan of what the Blues have done to rebuild the team and adding Doug Armstrong to the front office makes the future look that much brighter in St. Louis. However, like the Blue Jackets, the Blues defence will be their achillies heels. Their forward group is one [...]

2008/09 Columbus Blue Jackets Season Preview
4. Columbus Blue Jackets I really like what GM Scott Howson has done with this team. However, I’m unsure of just how well this team will gel together so that’s why I have them ranked this low. Their forward group is solid with Rick Nash, R.J. Umberger, Kristian Huselius, Derick Brassard, Fredrik Modin, Raffi Torres [...]
-
2008/09 Nashville Predators Season Preview
3. Nashville Predators Bit of a question mark with this team, mostly in net and up front. Their forward group isn’t terrible, but no one really stands out. Jason Arnott, J.P. Dumont and Martin Erat headline the forwards. David Legwand will be looking for a rebound season and both Steve Sullivan and Alexander Radulov are [...]

2008/09 Chicago Blackhawks Season Preview
2. Chicago Blackhawks A young exciting team that took big strides last year. Their forward group took a bit of a hit losing both Robert Lang and the best faceoff man in the NHL Yannic Perreault, but they still have a young, fast and skilled group. Of course Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane are the [...]
