As I type this, the Pittsburgh Penguins are up 2-1 on the Detroit Red Wings in the second period of Game 5 of the Stanley Cup playoffs. This makes me happy. If the Wings come back to win, they'll win the Cup and the hockey season will be officially over. This makes me sad.I'm cheering […]
The Flames are out after an all-around terrible performance in game 7 against San Jose and, for the third year when they went out in the first round, I have mixed feelings. I'm sad that my team lost of course but also relieved that I'll be able to avoid spending three hours on the couch […]
Back in October, I predicted a Calgary-Tampa Bay 2004 re-match as this year's Stanley Cup final with the right team winning this time.

Flames 9, Lightning 6 – Game NotesI didn't see the game tonight (getting Santa pictures at the mall in Weyburn is apparently more important ) but I saw the highlights and wow. A see-saw battle in the first meeting between these two teams in Tampa since the Lightning beat Calgary in Game Seven of the […]
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 […]
