A little mid-August update
First off, CFL
The Stamps have moved into a 3 way first place tie for first with Saskatchewan and Edmonton at 3-3, after beating Winnipeg. The Stamps certainly aren’t on fire and are having some troubles. Edmonton is coming off a loss to Hamilton (who are 4-2, yes!) and is the Stamps next opponent, this Thursday night. The Stamps play the Eskimoes 3 times in their next 4 games, so it is a huge part of the schedule.
Let week 7 begin.
Hamilton has been playing great lately, and it is great to see, they are the second best team in the league right now! The Tiger-Cats play the Roughriders play on Sunday.
Not much new for Flames news, the Oilers might be trying to trade a top D-man (ie. Souray). Oh Edmonton.
Oh and Theo Fleury wants to make a comeback after being out of the NHL for 6 years. Sounds like his concrete company isn’t doing great. He is 41 and still has to serve a 60-game suspension, it would be tough for any team to sign this distraction. I still can’t believe he is serious about coming back. Really?
The NFL begins soon, Team Canada is having their training camp for the Olympics and the Blue Jays still suck. That’s about it.
Until next time

NHL 3rd round pics, and Roughnecks are NLL champions
NHL playoffs
2- Detroit vs
4. Chicago
this is really tough to pick. Im going to go with Detroit, as I feel like they will win, but i really want them to lose (ala i win my bet and because they won last year). Detroit plays a solid team game. Chicago can beat them though, they play well together and seem to be the young guys. youth vs experience. it will be interesting, I hope chicago can continue to score goals and Khabibulin plays well. Osgood seems to be a playoff goaltender, so they will have to get through detroit and beat him. this isn' the canucks.
Detroit in 7.
east final:
4. Pittsburg - vs
6. Carolina
should be a close series, Carolina seems to find a way to win this year and Pittsburg may let them hang around too long in this series. Cam Ward will have to continue to be solid in the net, I could see him playing for Team Canada very soon. Carolina seems to get it done with grit and effort. and thier crowd is electric. the atmosphere in Carolina vs the atmosphere in Pittsburg hasn't been close (on tv at least). they really make it an event down in Carolina, also Carolina has a place in my heart after they beat the Oilers in the final in '06.
Carolina in 7
I went to the NLL final last night with two of my friends (Nick and Justin) and watched the Calgary Roughnecks defeat the New York Titans to win the Champions cup. It was an awesome game, the Roughnecks won 12-10, getting two empty netters in the last minute before New York got a late goal. the crowd was great (not sold out though) and it was more fun then the final in 04. the Roughnecks won thier 2nd Champions cup, after posting a 14-4 record this season, the best in the league.
The Stampeders also signed Nik Lewis to contract extension, Lewis broke several records last year with the Stamps, in his 5th season, and wants to retire a Stampeder someday.

end of 2008
well it certainly has been awhile since my last post. end of the year, its time for a sports update.
as you likely know (if you live in Canada), the Stampeders won the Grey cup, in a close low scoring game that was won mostly by the Stamps defence. the Stamps defeated the Allouettes 22-14 to earn thier 6th Grey cup in franchise history. here is a video that looks back at 2008 for the Stampeders
http://stampeders.com/multimedia/audio_video/?id=362
as for the Flames, they have continued to be red hot in December, winning again on monday over minnesota to maintain a solid lead in the division and close pull closer to Detroit. the Flames have collected points in thier last 8 games and have 19 (i think) points in december. they play the Oilers tonight in the new years eve game. the Flames have benefited from depth scoring, consistent team play and solid goaltending. they seem to be for real, something tells me this isnt just a streak where they will go back to the way they were playing in october, they have gotten better all season. this team is resilient, and unlike past years, can win without iggy and phaneuf scoring, even if they dont show up for the whole game. The Flames have become a team that finds ways to win. that said, its still early in the season. Iginla is still leading the team in points, with 40, and goals, with 16. Bourque is second in goals with 14 and Camelarri is second in points with 29.
GO Flames
the Hitmen are also still leading the WHL with 68 points, ahead of the Vancouver Giants, who have 65 points. the Giants have the leading scorer, but the next 3 are all Calgary Hitmen (Kozun, Sonne, Bortis). things are looking good for the Hitmen.
the world Junior hockey tournament is once again in full swing, team Canada has dominated with a strong and deep team, defeating the Czechs, Kazakstan, and Germany. they play the Americans today, with the winner getting a bye to the semifinal.
Go Canada Go.
also the Mac's Midget hockey tourney is going on, there are no international teams this time around, and a few Calgary teams have a solid chance at winning.
in the NFL the playoffs have begun, and the NBA season is also rolling.
here are your winnners in 2008
NHL: Detroit Red Wings
CFL: Calgary Stampeders
MLB: Philidelphia Phillies
NBA:Boston Celtics
NFL: New York Giants
WHL: Spokane Chiefs
