Posted: 17th June 2010 by Broadway Hockey Daily in NHL
According to Pierre LeBrun of ESPN, the agent for center Olli Jokinen said that the Rangers have had no contact with his client and expect Jokinen to find work on the open market. He also said that he expects Jokinen to play in the NHL and that the KHL is not an option.
“They have not talked to us. I do not expect them to at this point,” ...
St. Louis Blues Clues: A Look At a Pair Of Trades Made By the Blues
Posted: 17th June 2010 by Todd Cordell in NHL
The St Louis Blues organization was busy today making two trades in the hopes to improve their team.
Here is an overview of them:
St. Louis sends:
F Lars Eller
F Ian Schultz
Montreal sends:
G Jaroslav Halak
I'm personally surprised that Halak is on the move instead of possibly Price because of the way Halak played in the playoffs. St. Louis gave up a fair bit in Eller and Schultz, but ...
After making a blockbuster trade for Montreal goaltender Jaroslav Halak, the Blues sent forward Julian Talbot to Colorado in exchange for forward T.J. Hensick.
Talbot, 25, was never drafted and has spent the past four seasons in the American Hockey League, mostly with the Peoria Rivermen. The 2009-2010 season saw Talbot collect 17 goals and 15 assists.
Hensick, 24, split the last three seasons between the Avalanche and their American Hockey league ...
While picking between Cary Price and Jaroslav Halak would seem like an easy decision after the team’s Cinderella playoff run, the Canadiens pulled a surprise by trading Halak to the St. Louis Blues for two young players.
Halak was an important part of the Canadiens’ defense when it came to beating the two East Conference giants of the playoffs, Washington and Pittsburgh. He did not have a good series against the ...
Most things in life can be described as continuous or elastic, or as some type of function or its inverse.
Let's just say that the Oakland Raiders are seeking to regain their continuity and elasticity.
They are trying to construct an set of inverse functions to reverse the patterns of the past seven years.
For example something is continuous if it does not have holes or breaks and has no loss of mass. This ...
Following on from my last article regarding the five Carolina Panthers who need to step up this coming season comes this article, dealing with some Panthers who most would consider to be merely afterthoughts on the team.
They are merely backup players with only a small shot of contributing, right?
As the inimitable Lee Corso would say, “Not so fast, my friend.”
The National Football League, perhaps more than any other sports league, ...
Lakers vs. Celtics, Game Seven: Seventh Heaven and a Chance at Destiny
Posted: 16th June 2010 by Frances White in NBA
This 2010 season was supposed to be the year of LeBron; fortunately for the rest of us, we have a match-up that only the basketball Gods could make possible.
You can feel the tremor of excitement permeating the air, the rear ambrosia of a Game 7 that leaves everyone waiting in anticipation.
Game 6 is done and now it’s on to basketball's version of Shangri-la, a Game 7. This is no ordinary game. ...
John Wall 6'4'' 195 lbs 19 years old LG Kentucky
Dubbed as the Magic Johnson of the iPod generation, John Wall is an eye-popping point guard because of his length and quickness. Point guards that are this 'proto' just don't walk through the YMCA often. I know most basketball junkies go straight to the reference of Dwyane Wade and Rajon Rondo. He's like a mix of those ...

Training camp is just a few short weeks away and Bears fans are getting excited about the prospects for the 2011 season.

The question now is whether the Bears can put this all together and win next season. ...
Albert Haynesworth Demands Trade And Becomes the NFL’s Biggest Villain
Posted: 15th June 2010 by Shae Cronin in NFL
If there was a piece of hardware awarded to the NFL's Biggest Scumbag, defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth would have to be the favorite to lift it after the votes were counted.
According to The Washington Post , Albert Haynesworth's agent, Chad Speck, has told NFL insider Jason La Canfora that Fat Albert will not attend the team's mandatory minicamp.
To make matters worse, Speck told The Washington Post that Haynesworth "has made ...
