Ya baby! It is about time and they deserve it! They never gave up against the Vikings and roughed up Brett Favre pretty good! In two weeks the Saints will palay the Colts in Super Bowl XLIV in Maimi! I can't wait! It should be a...

tjhtommyj Let's go Saints! The city, the team, everyone involved deserves this trip to the Superbowl and it's now up to them to make the most of it. I'm not a big enough fan of football to have a favourite team but there's always that one team that's just so...

I just watched my football team lose by 3 points last night. Of course, it was a rotten thing to see. If you are a football fan then you know how bad it is to see your team get so close and then lose. I will admit that it has made...

This time it wasn't the refs! He had his nose almost on the puck and called no goal. No matter what angle the guys in the booth showed it, 100% of that puck was not over the line. No one calling this game, for us or Dallas thinks...

tjhtommyj There already is, only one way to do things. The officials come together and collectively make a call on the ice (which in this case was goal). Then they go upstairs in which there must be a clear case to overturn the call on the ice (there wasn't) IF there...

What is the first word that comes to mind when you hear hockey? For me I think of excitement. It is sad that many think violence or fighting. True it is a violent game and there are fights but that's just part of a whole beautiful...

tjhtommyj Hockey is... Life. Plain and simple. It's what I eat, sleep, breathe, love, cherish. It's where I work, it's where I get my daily thrills. It's where the excitement lies, it's where they adventure happens. Hockey = my life.

tjhtommyj The refs getting together to make the call is what should happen. It's about getting the call right no matter what happens. Like anything in life though errors will continue to be made no matter the procedure you have in place. The ideal procedure is one that...

tjhtommyj Dallas has been known for that over the years. The last three times the Stars have had made the playoffs they have gone to a third overtime at least 4 times. People complain about how long these games go and how they get boring, but I beg to differ. Every shot...

tjhtommyj The issue is that the linesmen also sided with Leggo which overruled the call by the first official of no goal. So when Toronto claimed inconclusive the call on the ice (which was overturned from no goal to goal by Leggo and the linesmen) stand.

In the long run, I believe that the Canucks-organization's decision to send Cody Hodgson back to Juniors is the right choice. No sense rushing a young player to the NHL where he would have more opportunities to fail than to...

tjhtommyj The emergency rule is very rare. It's used when the AHL affiliate can't send another player, whether it's a two-way contract issue, a travel issue, an injury issue, or a straight up pro-contract issue. There's a lot of ifs buts and what ifs so I won't get into...

tjhtommyj I think both decisions are the wrong one. Cody Hodgson has done all he can in junior hockey. He was the OHL and CHL player of the year (selected over this "god" they call Tavares.) He took his team to the OHL finals last year. The rest of his line have moved...

tjhtommyj I was ready since the day after Pittsburgh hoisted the cup. I've waited all summer for this moment. I don't care much for any of the teams that play tonight but there is a huge bash at my play tonight for the simple fact that hockey is officially back!

Ovechkin,Malkin and Crosby all seem like players that deserve the ''Max'' but obviously took about a million of as ''Home Town Discounts''.Because of this,will there ever be a player that gets Max? The Max is roughly 11 million.

tjhtommyj Bure and Mogilny could both do some amazing things with their speed and puck handling abilities but I'm also reminded of Pat LaFontaine, who's career was regretably cut short due to injuries. That being said, I have to put Ovechkin ahead of all three. Not just...

tjhtommyj I think it's extremely difficult to limit this to just 7 forwards. You could easily make a case for Getzlaf, Carter, Hossa, Thornton, Nash, and Parise to be considered amongst the elite forwards and you could even make a case for Marian Gaborik. Playing in a...

tjhtommyj This immediately makes Philly a Cup contender. You build from the net out and they have the depth in goal and the addition of Pronger makes them one of the most feared defensive teams in the league. Playing in a typically softer Eastern Conference will make...

tjhtommyj I think it's too early to tell. It's difficult to measure the success of a general manager on such a short term basis. It's not like a coach where immediate impact can be had. Sometimes he's handed a mess to fix before he can even put his own stamp on the...
