Called Shot
Well. That\’s a new one on me. Towards the end of the 2nd OT, Petr Sykora* told the rinkside commentator that he was going to score the winning goal. He then went out and took a penalty. But then in the middle of the 3rd OT, he scored it. Can\’t say I\’ve seen anything like…

As though Gretzky didn\’t look out of place enough in that Blues Jersey…
The year was 1996. The Quebec Nordiques Colorado Avalanche were on their way to winning the cup. Dino Ciccarelli was soon to express disbelief over a handshake. We were soon to see the last true playoff \”white out\”. Residents of Florida were soon to take up the throwing of plastic rodents. And amidst all the…

Ten Years Ago…
Just a quick post, since it\’s Masters week. Ten years ago this week, Jack Nicklaus finished tied for sixth at The Masters. Big whoop, you say? Well consider: He finished only four shots back. His last three rounds were under par, for a total of five under for the tournament. He finished higher than Tiger…

Show of hands: who knows that the NHL playoffs are starting tonight? Monkey, you don\’t count. Anyway. For the first time since the 1991 season (Norm sucks!), I\’ve watched a lot of Minnesota hockey this year. As such, I will offer up a few talking points before tonight\’s series opener against the Colorado Avalanche. Talking…

You asked for it…

worldwide leader in east-coast bias
that\’s correct– boston\’s backup first baseman missing the first two games of the season due to a sore neck qualifies as top news on espn.com. i eagerly await the update on long reliever manny delcarmen, who apparently is a little tired after not getting to bed until late on sunday night.

rose-colored revisionism
normally, i try not to pick on sid hartman too often– or, at least as much as he deserves. being overly negative to grandpa sports and other very old, nearly dead people (like carl pohlad) seems like an invitation to bad karma. however, sometimes i need to call el sid out. sid is famous for…

Berman Loses It
Further proof that we\’ve been slacking here at SP: This has been up for 3 days on the internet and I\’m finding it just now! http://deadspin.com/351147/chris-berman-is-somewhat-perturbed-with-the-help I blame Alex… he\’s our resident Deadspin watcher. Which is worse, Berman taking the Lords name in vain several times, or the 3 or 4 f-bombs?

Hello, Nummelin
If only because this may amuse someone other than me… Worth noting: The NHL really does a good job with putting highlights on its website. It\’s good to see there\’s at least one sport that\’s not afraid of the tubes. I\’ve been watching a lot more regular season hockey this year, for some reason, and…
