Playoff Predictions

So I know I missed out making predictions for the first round, but I'll post my second round onward predictions for the NHL playoffs, and as well for the NBA once they finish up their first round.


Boston Bruins vs Carolina Hurricaines

This series is going to be closer than people think , Cam Ward is a great goalie in the playoffs and I feel like he is going to steal a game on his own. Carolina is also a great team at home. With that being said, Boston is the best team in the Eastern Conference and I feel are too deep for Carolina to handle.

Boston will win this series in 6 games.





Pittsburgh Penguins vs Washington Capitals

This series has a lot of hype built up because of the Ovechkin vs Crosby/Malkin match up, and I, along with the majority of people are most excited for this series. With that being said I believe that Pittsburgh will steal a game on the road and be unstoppable at home.

Pittsburgh in 6


Detroit vs Anaheim

I, for one am ecstatic that Anaheim had beat San Jose in the first round of the playoffs, they're a lot better team than their record gives them credit for. With that being said, Detroit is at the top of their game right now and will beat the Ducks and get into the West Finals.


Detroit in 7


Chicago vs Vancouver

This series is very interesting, Vancouver doesn't have a great offence, but the best goalie in the playoffs right now, whereas Chicago really has nothing to lose. With that being said, I think Luongo will steal 2 games for the Canucks which will bring them to the West Finals.

Vancouver is 6

RE: Davids comment on my Toronto Draft post

Daivd, I'm addressing you personally because you are the only one who comments on my sports columns, which I love you for. So I'm going to individually address each of your 6 points.

1)" No one cares bout the Leafz. Though having brothers play together would be cool. Itd be like the Sedins. Cept not as good."

For sure, but you don't know that. The Sedins were drafted right after eachother and #2 and #3, so they were expected to produce from the get go, and they have.

2) "No player under 6'4 should be drafted with pick 1 unless Jose is traded."



Check their profiles.

Tyreke Evans
Demar Derozan



3) ""Bosh might very well be traded. I saw somewhere Bosh + pick for Green + Watson + Thabo + pick.Then we go get Griff I guess.

Yeah, but I'm talking about who the Raptors should draft if no major changes are made.

4) "I want this guy.http://asunews.asu.edu/files/images/20080311_harden.jpg"

Me too, we're not getting him though.

5) Then this guyhttp://www.collegehoopsjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/tyler-hansbrough-tall.jpg

Me too, but we don't have a late pick, and he's a reach at #9.

6) Then this guy http://cache.deadspin.com/assets/images/deadspin/2008/07/ron_artest.jpg

No doubt, he's a bonafide psycho. We have Marion though, if the Raptors get rid of him, Ron Ron would be a suitable replacement.

It's April

It's April, so that means the Raptors and Maple Leafs won't be making the playoffs this year. So what keeps Raptors and Leafs fans sane until the beginning of next season? The Draft of course!

This year, the Leafs and Raptors will both have top 10 picks in the draft and will want to obtain some talent.

Lets start with the Leafs first.

Oh well, they didn't finish bad enough to get John Taveras. Whatever, no big deal. They're projected to pick 7th overall, hopefully with that pick they get this fella named Brayden Schenn, little brother of current Leaf rookie Luke Schenn. This would be of great help because Brayden is not yet a great player, but has the tools to become one. Furthermore, the chemistry these two players would have together could be deadly once they get a feel for the game. So please Toronto, get Luke happy and draft his brother Brayden.

Onto the Raptors, they really disappointed this year and then some. That doesn't mean that they have to tear down their team and re-build. All the really need is some wing help. With that being said, with the 9th pick in the NBA Draft the Toronto Raptors should pick either Tyreke Evans from Memphis or Demar Derozan from USC, they would need time to develop, but they both have potential to be very good players in this league.

Jays thought.

Two games into the Blue Jays season to my surprise their record is TOPS in the ever competitive AL east, this really caught me by surprise. What I'm really much more surprised about is how likeable the players are this year, one who really caught my attention when I went to the game with my friend is Travis Snider.

What makes Travis Snider great isn't his potential to be a great player in MLB, but...wait for it.

HIS FREAKIN WALK UP MUSIC!

Everytime Snider came up to the plate a Lil Wayne song would come up my friend David and I were like "Wow, this guy is pretty freakin ballin". To get an idea of WHO Travis Snider is..(This is taken from Wikipedia)

Travis James Snider (born February 2, 1988 in Everett, Washington) is a Major League Baseball player for the Toronto Blue Jays. He is considered a power hitter who could potentially play right field, left field or first base. He hits and throws left-handed. He played baseball at Henry M. Jackson High School, where he also played running back and linebacker in football. Snider played for the Mill Creek Little League team at 1999 Little League Western Regional Tournament in San Bernardino, California.

JUST SOME WHITE GUY . He's awesome, and my new favorite Jay.

What a gangster.

Milestone!

Yeah, I got five followers!

Thank you everyone!

This picture would probably show how I feel right now.

March Madness Results

Turns out I picked the winner, which is the first time I ever did that.

Cool shit. I'm running out of sports to watch, I'm gonna have to watch the Blue Jays until the Raptors and Leafs start up again.

Woo..(Sarcasm)

New additions to the MFE

The MFE or better known as the Morgan Freeman effect describes an individual in a movie or a song that where the song would not be as good without him/her or a song or movie would be great with the addition of him/her.

I'd like to add two more people onto the list including Morgan Freeman and T-Pain. The new members inducted are Justin Timberlake and Timbaland.


Thank you Chris for suggesting those artists.
