end of march sports update: from down under
Hello folks,
in the last month i have heard the flames arent doing amazing, but they are playing good enough to be playing into april....barely. they are now 40-27-10, which is good enough to be tied with dallas for 5th with 90 points, one point behind minny for the division lead. they are 6 points clear of 9th place nashville with 5 games left, so they should end up in the playoffs. 6th place would be a good place to finish if they cant win the division.
in the east, montreal is leading the way?! thats cool, they are having a great season. calgary vs montreal for the cup! thats just my uneducated guess from australia.
also in the cfl, the argonauts managed to pry kerry Joseph from the riders with a few draft picks and prospects. bad deal for the riders, first they lose the coach, now the allstar qb. also ottawa has been granted a franchise again, but this time it will work out, the right owners are involved and they wont operate until they can get a new stadium. cool stuff.
the roughnecks are 4-8, so not doing great.
thats all for now.
Adam

trade deadline update
ok so the other poster on here sent me an update...here it is
Hey Adam!
I would've posted this on the blog but apparently my gmail account expired and I can't do a blog anymore.I just came back from Cuba so here is the latest.
LA traded Jarolslav Modry to Phillie for draft pick.P
hillie traded Jim Vandermeer to calgary for a draft pick (this was Calgary's only trade) and happened a couple days before the deadline. I like this trade by the way. Kind of wishing bigger named players like Jokinen but what ever. Sutter said the day before that he has no intentions of trading Tanguay.
Simon gagne has a season ending concussion.
Ethan Moreau is out for the season.
Selanne is doing fine had a hat trick while I was gone.
Kipper had his first shutout against the Red Wings (first game Vandermeer played). Calgary is currently on top of the north west division.
Forsberg signed a year reto active contract with Colorado.
McCarty signed with Detroit.
Dan Boyle signed a huge contract with TB similiar to Phaneuf's contract.
Edmonton put Patrick Thoresen on waivers and Philadelphia picked him up.
Philadelphia traded Alexandre Picard to TB for Prospal (good trade for Phil).

Great Leafs Video
Had to post this to you Adam. It's a Leafs fan breaking up with his team, LOL! Take your sweater back.
http://www.youtube.com/user/stratola
Last night Flames won in over time 4-3 over the Sharks. This is a game where Kipper stood on his head. The shots were 20-5 in favour of San Jose in the first period. Phaneuf was huge in that game, total impact player. He tied the game late in the third with a huge shot that went past Nabokov (Pulled the goalie - another forward on the ice).
Iggy then scored in OT from a great feed from Phaneuf.
No other rumors yet. Still a lot of talk about Forsberg.
The Calgary Stampeders added defensive back Dwight Anderson to their lineup on Tuesday, signing the former Tiger-Cat.

First Big Trade
Ottawa traded Patrick Eaves and Joseph Corvo to Carolina for Mike Commodore and Cory Stillman.
I think Ottawa got the better of that deal. Stillman's good but Commodore is capable of huge things during playoffs.
Last night a freaky thing happened during the Panthers game. Richard Zednik got his throat slashed by Olli Jokinen's skate and they sent him to the hospital for emergency surgery. I guess it was horrific and they were evning considering canceling the rest of the game.
Montreal Canadiens defenceman Ryan O'Byrne and forward Tom Kostopoulos were arrested outside of a Tampa nightclub early Monday morning. They were arrested for stealing a ladies purse at the night club... Weird. Who knows more could come out of it.
Right now Ovechkin is leading in goals and points. Alfredsson was catching up to AO in points but AO had a big night and pulled away again.
Flames thumped Oilers in return last Saturday 4-1. Nolan had 2 goals. Calgary was relentless and were all over Edmonton. Calgary slowed toward the end and Gagner fed Nilsson a wicked pass to wreck Kippers shutout hopes. Iginla's been okay but quiet at the same time.
Phaneuf had his third goal. 3 goals the past 2 games. He's been playing with a lot of fire of late.
As for Stamp's news they have been quiet of late but the rest of the CFL have been trading players (I have no idea if any of them are worthwhile noting).
Take care Adam! Your desk is still vacant.

Phaneuf Update
It's official Phaneuf is signed for 6 years.
He will make 7.5 year 1, 6.5 year 2, 7.0 year 3, 6.5 year 4 and 5 and then 5.5 for year 6.
It will hit the cap hard for next year but I like the signing. Hopefully he remains healthy throughout that long contract.
Last night the Leafs were shutout by Florida 8-0! The Maple Leafs organization are in a dark place right now. Maurice commented on their pond hockey style of playing, LOL!
Forsberg has announced he has no interest in the following teams Detroit, Calgary and Dallas. He also said he has interest only playing for top contender teams. Apparently he still has some bad blood with detroit in the past playoff battles when he was with Colorado.
Supposedly the Phaneuf signing has allowed Calgary to pursue trades full tilt. Eklund said they are in talks with Tampa. I think they'll trade Lecavalier, Prospal and Boyle for Sarich, Erikkson, and Tanguay (that's fair right, LOL!)

February 5th Update
Last night (or was it another night??) Calgary got smoked by Edmonton 5-0. That was an embarassing loss. With the Oilers being Horcoffless and CuJo having his first start and giving out juicy rebounds Oilers were relentless in shaming the Flames. Godard went out and wanted to start something so he went after Garon and Garon didn't exactly back down. There was a lot of fighting as well.
Tonight, Calgary was 0-3 against Phoenix until Phaneuf managed 2 goals in the third and iggy breaking his goal slump to tie the game. The game went into a shoot out where iggy scored the lone goal. The Flames really, really needed to pick up those 2 points as everyone else were winning games.
Hockey news:
The EIG (Oilers group) have officially accepted Katz's last bid, so unofficially he's the new owner.
Ovechkin is blowing the competition away with goals, he had 2 more tonight making it his 45th (Kovalchuk is next with 38).
Thta's really it for hockey news and rumors at this point things still quite quiet.
Here's something funny: My favorite "Nice try no-goal-ov", LOL!
