I'll Bareback

Nashville Predators received a lot of lucky bounces in the playoff with Vancouver Canucks. This was made easier when there was 179 “lucky bounces” recorded by playoff prognosticators. The Nashville ice was flooded no doubt due to the rivers rising in Memphis, which made the Game 6 ice resemble an indoor stock-car oval.

Top 5 signs the NHL ice has too much bounce
# 5 Linesman drops the puck and it springs over the netting.
# 4 You get a penalty for double dribbling
# 3 Ice described as having more bounce than a cheque from Boots Del Biaggio
# 2 Goaltenders trade to shortstop glove
# 1 The final score of the game was 30 – love.

I am a Calgary Flames fan so I was a bit pissed when Ric Nash leveled Michael Backland. Is the World Championships really the place to get your edge back? A late blindside hit to a defenseless player. Really Rick? That is your contribution to the World Championships? I know our teams are more accountable than in previous years, they don’t get locked up in jail before matches as much, I just think we expect more than gold at any cost. Canuck Up! The only thing you should leave your feet for in Slovakia is rats.

I picked Nashville to win and was the subject of much scorn from seasoned grizzled one foot on banana peel experts so I will Canuck Up. I though Nashville would surprise. They didn’t. Come on Sedins, you are now representing the hopes and dreams of my Canada… bring the Cup home to the true north.

Boy Thor sure has nothing on the way the NHL has brought the hammer down on head shots.

There will be a new feature for the Don Cherry Rock em Sock em videos in reaction to all the concussion controversy. From now on when you see a vicious head hit a computer program automatically calculate the loss of IQ and shows them on a special pop up screen. As a sidebar a lot of commentators were fighters.

Brock Lesnar has pulled out of his UFC 131 fight in Vancouver with an intestinal disorder as it appears even his stomach can’t stomach the steroids.

Seriously I would have bet the bull would have been thrown by the stuff coming out of Chad Ochocinco than vice versa. Lasting 1.5 seconds is about what I expected but I thought maybe if he could have done a few pus ups in the ring he might have amused the bull for a couple more seconds.

Chad and Bull sounds like a great English pub to get spotted dick

I know sports have removed steroids from the athletes, you can see how clean the MMA guys look, but I think someone has to test Jose Baltista again. For a guy that can hit the ball out of the park with each swing he looks like he needs a meal.

Not to say there was ever any doubt but looking at pictures of Chris Bosh and LeBron James from 2 years ago you have to wonder if they forgot their muscles when they took their talents to South Beach. I’m sure it is just the lighting in Miami but those pipes look a few inches smaller in diameter.

Now that I Canucked Up and am cheering for Vancouver I can’t help but notice they have 2 green men near the penalty box. Anyone else notice them? You will recognize what they look like if you have ever visited Vancouver as they don’t appear to have any money left in their pockets.

The Vancouver Canucks are trying new ways to increase their fan base. 1st they get Canada behind them for the playoffs and now they appear to be trying to get soccer fans to follow their diving.

Now that Donald Trump has decided not to run for president of the USA all of America will have to wait to see who the next hair apparent is.

I guess Arnold is regretting his latest slogan “I’ll be bareback”.

Jesse Lumsden is retiring from football although he says he can still be an effective runner. The problem is when he carries the mail he is usually delivered to an emergency.

When I was a kid in Saskatchewan the only games we could get on our radio was the Minnesota Twins and it is with sadness I learned of the death of Harmon Killebrew. I can’t remember how many home runs I hit pretending I was him but my bat was full of dings from the rocks I used as balls.
