Good Afternoon....
Boston and Vancouver get ready to do hockey battle in Game 7 out in British Columbia....The Canucks earned home ice advantage with their overall play during the season....Big advantage it seems in this series as the home team has won each game....Though the Bruins were dominant at home while Vancouver kept Boston off the scoreboard and squeezed out victories in all three games in their rink....Who will the Canucks start in goal?....Can Timmy Terrific continue to make outstanding saves for the B's?....Will the Sedin twins make the difference?....The Boston area is nothing but a sea of black and gold and I'm sure its the same in Vancouver with their blue and white....Expect both teams to come out strong and the referees to put the whistles away....Boston has never played in a Stanley Cup Game 7 and haven't won the Cup since 1972 when the great Bobby Orr ruled the hockey world....Vancouver hasn't won the Cup in the entire 40 years of their existence....Milan Lucic and Ryan Kesler are key players tonight....Despite Dan Shaughnessy's love letter in the Boston Globe to coach Claude Julien, the Bruins have stayed in the fight all season because of veteran leadership and Tim Thomas....Tough injury to Vancouver forward Mason Raymond who suffered a fractured vertebrae when he was slammed awkwardly into the boards by Johnny Boychuk....Its been a physical series but I don't think that play was intent to injure....Rome's hit on Horton was a tad too late but I don't agree with the 4 game suspension....Everybody's ready so let's drop the puck.
Time to give Lebron James some room....His team lost....Dallas won the title and to them go the spoils....King James needs to go on vacation in a deserted part of the world and forget about basketball for awhile....He is the best player in the game....Didn't always play that way in the Finals....Miami brought all this negative attention on themselves....It will be interesting to see their mindset going into 2011-2012....Nice to see people like Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion, Jason Terry and Dirk Nowitzki get to the top of the mountain....Eric Spoelstra should be allowed to continue coaching the Heat....Remember Doc Rivers had some lean years before Garnett and Allen came over....The South Beach Trio can't be the easiest team to lead and continuity is a must....With a year under their belt the future looks bright for Spoelstra, Wade, Bosh and James.
Justin Verlander emerges as the front runner for this year's AL Cy Young award....He takes a no-hitter into the eighth inning last night and cruises to a 4-0 win as Detroit takes a one game lead over Cleveland in the AL Central....Jered Weaver follows suit with a complete game shutout win over the Mariners....Jose Reyes is having a sensational start for the Mets....Dodgers gonna have trouble making their payroll, again....What a mess....The McCourt saga is gonna make for a great book....And maybe a movie....Don't look now but the Pittsburgh Pirates are at .500 and 4 games back in the NL Central and the Seattle Mariners are at .500 and 2 games back in the AL West.
The US Open Championship begins Thursday at Congressional CC in Bethesda, Maryland....Count me as one who is glad that Prima Donna Woods is not there....I don't need obnoxious and arrogance....The Mickelson army should be out in full force....The talk around the course is the American golfers lack of major wins lately....I don't know about everyone else but I've enjoyed watching new players come to the forefront....Every tournament seems to come down to the final hole or a playoff....Who needs Tiger?....TV?....My pick for the US Open title goes to Geoff Oglivy.
For Ray:
"The reason the golf pro tells you to keep your head down is so you can't see him laughing."
....talk to ya
