The Saints are going to the Super Bowl!

blue65packer @blue65packer (11826) • United States 24 Jan 10

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...

Football Rituals

purplerain01 @purplerain01 (107) • United States 25 Jan 10

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...

Hockey Is

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 24 Jan 10

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.

Totally Boned by Toronto

jewels49 @jewels49 (1776) • United States 16 Jan 10

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...

toronto blew this one

3 responses

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.

Still on the subject of hockey goons

jewels49 @jewels49 (1776) • United States 22 Jan 10

I like the way Montreal is dealing with one of the biggest goons there is..I love that they have benched Laraque for the remainder of the season..calling him a distraction is an understatement..he hasn't played hardly at all and...

vancouver canucks

bounce58 @bounce58 (17387) • Canada 30 Sep 09

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...

canucks

2 responses

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!

Will there ever be a player that gets the Max?

den1545 @den1545 (43) • United States 4 Aug 09

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 Danny Briere actually earned the maximum salary during the first year of his big contract having earned over $10 million during that first season. However due to cap control we're not ever going to see that amount spread out over the term and duration of a...

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...

Pronger a Flyer?

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 9 Jul 09

I just heard the news that Pronger is now a Flyer. He signed a 7 year deal! What? Why? Wasn't he closer to te cup with Anaheim? I am in shock. I hate it because now he will compete against my Caps. Ovie will have to look out for...

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 No. Osgood was traded to the Islanders in 2001 after the Wings acquired Hasek. When the Islanders drafted DiPietro, they then traded Osgood to St. Louis where he played out the rest of his contract before re-signing with Detroit in 2005 as a free agent....

Who will be the number 1 draft pick in the NHL draft?

TremendousMachine @TremendousMachine (779) • Canada 15 Jun 09

Now that the playoffs are over, it's time for the NHL draft in a couple weeks. Will the number one pick be centre John Tavares or defenceman Victor Hedman? One's a sniper, the other a huge defenceman. New York Islanders have the...

nhl draft tavares hedman

1 response

tjhtommyj The Islanders need a defenseman. Plain and simple. With Okposo and Bailey leading the charge on the forward front they have the one-two punch they need to become successful. It's their Crosby-Malkin, Zetterbeg-Datsyuk, Kane-Toews - not as big as those names...

tjhtommyj Here we go! one bad bounce could cost the team their season and one fortunate bounce could make a team's season. Fleury and Osgood both live for these moments. They're clutch performers when it comes to do or die time. The "super heroes" were non existant in...

tjhtommyj The big turning point was definitely Staal's shorthanded goal. It's funny too because it was a tight one on one race that normally doesn't materialize into anything but then when we saw it was Staal, the shorthanded specialist, me and my buddies were all at...
