Campbell on HNIC

CBC.ca | Cassie Campbell makes history as HNIC analyst
I’d like to congratulate Cassie Campbell on her performance in the booth Saturday night on HNIC for the Leafs vs. Flames game. In addition to being the first woman colour commentator on HNIC, she was a fresh voice and nice change to Harry Neale. Harry […]

No longer a Cinderella story: Greece 101 - USA 95

2006 FIBA World Championship - powered by www.fiba.com
The Greek basketball team was an upset winner of last years world basketball champs, but unlike their football playing cousins that could not even qualify for the world cup after winning the 2004 euro cup, this team is for real. After spanking france in the quarter-finals and […]

Why Protugal keeps getting what they deserve

YouTube - Cheating Portugal Highlights vs France World Cup
If these guys tried half as hard to win as they do trying to draw fouls they might actually have a chance at winning a championship. Good on France, and Greece 2 years ago, to give them what they deserve.

Can the game 6 Oilers please show up?

In 20 minutes of hockey, either they show up and win the cup… or, what a shame that would be…
Update: They showed up, just missed the net one too many times to force OT. Great job boys, on both sides. Made for one of the most exciting playoffs in a long time.

CBC Sports Online: NHL Playoffs 2006
Great to see Edmonton making it to the Cup Finals. Good job boys! What great hockey. It brings back long forgotten memories as a kid watching the Oilers go to the Cup. It is also good that a Canadian team might win for the first time in 13 […]

Deja Vu, all over again

2 years ago, Saturday night, midnight. Me working on my senior thesis project to complete my undergrad Software Engineering programme, with Edmonton and Calgary playing a great game trying to make the playoffs on CBC HNIC in the background….
Fastforward to right now. Calgary has clinched, Edmonton is desparate to make the playoffs, but […]

Golden Times

CBC Sports: Canada blanks Russia for junior gold
Great job boys, way to keep the gold at home! The 5-0 score misrepresents how close the and great the game was. Lots of action, big hits, loads of emotion. Looking at the calibre of hockey this year and last at the junior level, the […]

Hooking… hooking… there she goes

Those memorable words, heard many a time on hot summer night while driving up to the cottage. Tom Cheek’s voice, along with Jerry Howarth were the most exciting way to take in a Blue Jays game… even when watching it on TV (like we did when Joe Carter touched them all and hit the […]
