In 1989, the Riders won only their second Grey Cup ever in the 95 year history of the CFL (admittedly, pretty embarrassing in an 8-10 team league.) They won with a team led by QB Kent Austin in a game played in Toronto's Skydome. This year, the Riders, with Austin as coach, go into the […]

When I was in Calgary, I went in a hockey pool with my cousin and his buddies every year. The rules we used were fairly standard in that the team you picked at the draft was the team you were stuck with for the year (in retrospect, dropping your lowest scoring player – ie. the […]
The Calgary Flames start their season tonight. Pace is wearing an orange off-red outfit in this picture but I'm sure his loyalties are clear. My predictions for the final this year are Flames over Tampa Bay in a re-match of 2004 with the right team winning this time. Pace is picking the Ducks repeating as […]

The NHL All-Star Game is coming up in a couple days. This year is the first All-Star game since 2004 (2005 was missed due to the lockout, 2006 was skipped due to the Winter Olympics) and many saw it as an opportunity for the league to continue their rebound from the bad feelings caused by […]
This is both the worst and one of the best plays you'll ever see in the NHL. Former first overall draft pick, Patrik Stefan of the NHL's Dallas Stars, gets an open shot at an empty net with fourteen seconds left in the game…and misses. The Edmonton Oilers regain control of the puck, make a […]
Came across The Birthday Calculator which tells you your date of conception, how many days, weeks, months and years old you are (you probably know that one) on Ian's blog via an embedded Digg link that displayed on his site because he was using Feed2JavaScript, a neat little utility that allows you to embed RSS […]
The Scored's PrayerOur Kipper, who art in goal, hallowed be thy name. Thy Stanley come, thy will be done, in Playoffs as in regular season. Give us this day our daily win. And forgive us our trespasses, as we drop the gloves with those who trespass against us. And lead us not into losses, but […]
