Golden Knights Owner Blasts Raiders Move to Vegas

Golden Knights Owner Blasts Raiders Move to Vegas

March 29th, 2017 Bill Foley’s tenure as the only owner of a “Big Four” professional sports franchise in Las Vegas came to an end this week, and he has some things to say about it. On Monday, NFL owners approved the relocation of the Raiders from Oakland to Southern Nevada by a 31-1 vote. They’ll remain in Oakland for at least the next two...
The Need for Celebrations in Sports

The Need for Celebrations in Sports

October 26th, 2015 In 1980, the disco group Kool & the Gang declared to the whole world, "Celebrate good times, come on!" Their hit, "Celebration", is a jovial, infectious song, pleading to the listener to simply let go and have some fun. Celebrations are great. Got a job promotion? Great! Invite some friends over for a BBQ. Graduated...
Remarkable Parallels between the NHL and Big 4 Sports

Remarkable Parallels between the NHL and Big 4 Sports

March 16th, 2015 When it comes to the Big 4 North American sports leagues (NHL, NFL, MLB, NBA), many similar events and storylines unfold each season. While some of the sports couldn't be more different, many teams are eerily similar to others in how the franchise is run, the style of play, or their history. I decided to examine every NHL team, and...
What the NFL's DEA Investigation Could Potentially Mean For The NHL

What the NFL's DEA Investigation Could Potentially Mean For The NHL

November 19th, 2014 The National Football League can't catch a break. From Ray Rice, to Adrain Peterson, to a slew of arrests over the past few years, the league has seen better days. To add salt to the wound, on Sunday the Drug Enforcement Agency opened a surprise investigation on three NFL teams. With how physical the game of football is, there is no...

Canucks Corner - Week 3 Review

Canucks Corner - Week 3 Review

October 21st, 2013 After a very good start on the longest road trip of the season, many are still left to wonder what the make of the Vancouver Canucks. After ten games, they sit with 5 wins, 4 losses and one OTL, good enough for 11 points. They sit smack in the middle (9th place) in the Western Conference. Good enough after week 3? Depends on who you...
Should Dan Bylsma Be Fired?

Should Dan Bylsma Be Fired?

June 10th, 2013 Should Pittsburgh Penguins' Head Coach Dan Bylsma be fired? Everyone's initial opinion was an overwhelming and emphatic, YES. I don't know about you, but I don't watch the Pens for regular season success. They need to be competing for Stanley Cups. Since the 2008-2009 season, this has become a lingering problem for this...
Marc-Andre Fleury: Pittsburgh Penguins Scapegoat

Marc-Andre Fleury: Pittsburgh Penguins Scapegoat

February 3rd, 2013 Many of you will never like Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender, Marc-Andre Fleury. It doesn't matter if he wins another one or two Stanley Cups. As soon as Fleury has another bad game, he will be crucified. This will spark debate for Tomas Vokoun to take over the duties as the starting goaltender. Superbowl Quarterback This slandering...

Playoff Seeding & NHL Analysts: Two Severe Flaws of the NHL

April 10th, 2012 While we were all getting over the arrogant commentary presented over Philadelphia airwaves by NBC hockey analyst, Mike Milbury, other coaches and analysts felt entitled to chime in and bash Sidney Crosbyand the rest of the Pittsburgh Penguins organization. After Brooks Orpik dished out a questionable and dirty knee-on-knee hit to...
