It's Been A While

soooo happy duke lost today. snapped their 25 game win streak. get fucked.

flyers are rolling. first in the east. and the defending east champs. really hoping they take it all this year. or if not, would love to bow out to the wings in the finals. it would be an honor.

michigan basketball looked dope today. with no seniors, they played really well against a #2 ranked undefeated ohio state team. and they have kept it close with other ranked opponents all season, such as their 6 point loss to #3 kansas last week. looking forward to more success on the court from the maize and blue.

im gonna go ahead and like the hiring of brady hoke. i was in favor of giving richrod another year. there was nobody really out there to hire. would of loved to have les miles. but there really is no reason for him to come to michigan. it would be a step back. we all know the sec is king. his goal should be to win titles, and to do that, you need to be in the sec. as for the hokester, he is a michigan man which is always a good thing, and i just kinda like his demeanor. and san diego state was a legit squad this year. hopefully he can get michigan to the level sooner rather than later.

michigan state sucks at football. i cant wait till they go back to their losing traditions next season. party's over faggots.

the oakland a's will win their division next season.

hopefully i'll remember to come on here more often. would love to do some nfl predictions now that the playoffs are in full swing. but until then, i gots to get to bed yooo.

April 16th:
Parise and kovalchuck will single handedly sweep the flyers
If you had emery, it would go 6 with NJ still winning. But Boucher is the definition of brutal, this series goes no more than 5
April 18th:
Might as well enjoy it, it's the only one you'll get
Mike Richards has been to the driving range lately I've heard
mike richards is by far not the best player in the nhl. lucky to be top 20
flyers fans are delusional!
OFFICIAL PREDICTION:
Game 4: 5-3 Devils

So you see the thing is, I wasn't really sure if the devils or bruins would really beat you guys. I mean both teams blow. Ducks/Wings would handle both easily. But now I am 100% sure that you won't beat Montrael. It's their destiny, their year, not yours! Montrael/Hawks.

Montreal in 6
canadians in 6, flyers have lost the little momentum they had, halak is back montreal rolls the rest of the way


thanks to all that made this possible. especially josh paulisin. STANLEY CUP FINALS.

STANLEY CUP FINALS

We did it. We made it. Against all odds. Stanley Cups Finals. Got in on a shootout win in Game 82. Beat the favored Devils in 5. Came back from 0-3 against the Bruins, then from 0-3 in Game 7. Oh, and we lost our goalie in the middle of Game 5, and had to switch from Brian Boucher to Mikey Leighton. Then we took down the Cinderella Canadiens in a mere 5 games in the Eastern Conference Finals. No big deal. On to the Stanley Cup Finals to play the highly favored Blackhawks. I'm sooo pumped. This is about to be sooo awesome. It's FLYERTIME babyy. I tried to tell everyone from the beginning, but they wouldn't listen. Here we are. Time to convert. Let's get it.

#2 Blackhawks vs #7 Flyers

Great matchup. These two teams are really even. We're gonna see a better series than we would have if it was any of the other three potential matchups. Two hot goalies. Two young leading captains, both with gold medals already this year. But I think this series comes down to the defense. I would say the goalies are about even. And though many would disagree, the offensive firepower is the same. Richards cancels out Toews. Carter to Kane. Briere, Giroux, and Gagne. Sharp, Bolland, and Big Buff. They're equals. Though I give the edge in defense to the Flyers. Although the Norris trophy voters wouldnt agree, at least come playoff time, I would take Chris Pronger over Duncan Keith. Then I would also take Timmo over Seabrook, Carle and Coburn are about equal to Campbell and Sopel. Obviously I'm going to take the Flyers no matter what. But I'm actually insanely confident. They are the better team. The Hawks are favored because of the regular season and Original Six status. And they have the bigger names. Though the Flyers are finally healthy. Look at the roster. Get ready folks, it about to be insanee. I'm jacked. And you should be too :) FLYERS in 6

Game Two's

Big night tonight in sports. We have three big game twos in the conference finals. Two in the NHL, and one in the NBA. The Flyers and Blackhawks try to take a 2-0 series lead on their opponents, the Canadiens and Sharks, while the Magic try to even their series at 1 with the Celtics. Let's break it down..

Game 2: Blackhawks at Sharks

Hawks took a 1-0 lead on Sunday with their crazy good road-skills. However, the Sharks were pretty rusty, and they still looked much better than the Hawks. I don't see Niemi putting on another insane show like he did in game one. Give me the Sharks at home here to tie up the series. Sharks 5, Hawks 2

Game 2: Canadiens at Flyers

Gotta love my Flyers here. We just don't lose at the Wachovia Center. The Canadiens won't be able to shut down our offense. We don't have one line that scores all our goals. They all contribute. And it's tough to concentrate on three different lines. Plus, being backstopped by Chris Pronger and Michael Leighton, the Habs won't exactly be putting the puck in as much as they would like. Probably won't be as much of a shitshow, but come on. Flyers babyyy. Flyers 4, Habs 2

Game 2: Celtics at Magic

I don't know all that much about the NBA. But I have seen the different trends by teams. I don't see the Magic dropping two in a row at home. Especially after coming off an eight game win streak. Dwight Howard will play much better than in game one. Magic 101, Celtics 87

Game 2: Red Sox at Yankees

Second game of this series, and a battle of the aces. Josh Beckett vs CC Sabathia. Beckett has struggled big time this year. I would know, with him being on my fantasy team and all. Super awesome 7.46 ERA. Gave up 9 earned runs last start over 5.1 innings. And that was against the Yankees also. But I see him getting it turned around right now. And that's not just my fantasy ego. He'll go 7+ innings, give up 2 earned runs with 8, no 9 K's. Don't forget he'll pick up the W too. Red Sox 7, Yankees 3

The Shitshow

So that was awesome. 6-0 game one win for the Flyers. We looked so insanely dominant, it made some think this won't even be a series. Halak got yanked after four goals. What did I say? Hahaa, gosh I'm awesome. And dad said if they make the finals, he'll take me to Philly to see at least one game at the Wachovia. He know's I'm a true diehard. And I can't really think of a better 18th birthday present :) FLYERS.

Hawks looked like a inferior team to the Sharks, except Niemi stole the game. Once again, the Sharks come up short in a playoff game. I think the Flyers can take the Hawks, but I'm kind of afraid of the Sharks. Plus, if they play the Hawks in the finals, you know I'm taking a train to Chicago, and the UP is taking me to at least one game.. nasty shit. I love you FLYERS.

Nationals are looking legit, son. They had a bad weekend against the Rockies. But for being dead last the last two years, being 2nd or 3rd in the NL Wild Card race isn't too bad. Not to mention we haven't even brought up Strasburg up yet, nor have we spent our 1st overall pick from being dead last last year. Probably on Bryce Harper. MLB, get fucking readyyyy.

Ryan Zimmerman is the best player in baseball. He's missed 10+ games from injuries, yet still has 23 RBI's in mid-May, and is batting .330 with 8 homers.

With no NHL on tonight, I may watch some NBA playoffs. Lakers and Suns looks like a legit matchup. Of course I won't turn it on till at least the 2nd half. But still.. me watching the NBA?? Haahaa.

I'm feeling the Suns here for some reason. I don't know why. Just one of those things that I haven't felt in a while for predicting an upset. Last would be the Pens over the Wings in Game 7. Sure that was terrible, but I felt it coming. And it sucked. I feel this one. Defending champs out right here...

I guess I'll take the Magic here. I was hoping they would sweep to go 12-0 into the Finals. But they already lost Game 1 at home. But I'll stick with them. Despite taking the Celtics to the Finals in my preseason prediction.

I don't know if Tiger Woods will ever be the same. It's like he's not taking it seriously anymore. He doesn't want to win as badly. It's weird. Different demeanor. If he doesn't change it, he will never be the same. Look out for Phil now...

Thee Conference Finals

We did it. Flyers made history. The NHL said "History will be made", and damn was it made. Down 0-3, the Flyers became the third team in NHL history to come back and win a series 4-3. And I never lost confidence. I thought the Wings had a better shot at coming back from 0-3, just because they're the Wings. And they were playing the Sharks. But we injured two of the Bruins best forwards for the rest of the playoffs, therefore suffocating their offense. They tried to retaliate by knocking out our goalie Brian Boucher, but little did they know we had Michael Leighton waiting in the wings. Hahaa. I love this. And we get to skip over the Penguins this year, thanks to the Canadiens. We matchup so well against the Habs. It's about to be soooo awesome. FLYERS bitchesss. FLYERS.

#1 Sharks vs #2 Blackhawks

The Sharks? Haha. They actually advanced past the Red Wings. Legitly? That can be debated. I thought the Wings may have lost a game or two due to reffing. But that's me. And irrelevant now. Sharks are here against the lower seeded, yet favored Blackhawks. I pretty much like the Sharks in every category. Nabakov over Niemi. Thornton, Marleau, and Heatley over Toews, Kane, and Sharp. But the Hawks are the more clutch team. No ref help this round. Hawks in 7

#7 Flyers vs #8 Canadiens

Who would have thought? A 7 vs 8 seed in the conference finals. The two teams that just barely squeaked into the playoffs. No Ovechkin. And thank the Lord, no Crosby. As for this matchup, the Habs are fucked. I see a repeat of 2008's 2nd round between these two teams. The Flyers mainly dominated, winning in five games. I think the Canadiens are better this time around. Even though they were a #1 seed back then, and are a #8 now. Halak is playing insane, but I don't see it continuing with the way the Flyers play. They crash the net. Rebounds. Dirty goals. Not like the Pens and Caps trying to snipe corners. We're different. That can be good or bad. But in this case, it's good. No more super Halak. It won't be a sweep. I think they Habs may pick up a home win. But just know know in the end, my Flyers will be in the Cup Finals bitches. FLYERS in 6

Don't Worry, Every Little Thing is gonna be Alright

I actually just read through my blog and saw that I was supposed to have a new way of doing things. The short separated paragraphs. So yeahh, I'll be getting back to that now. I like that style better then one huge blob.

The Wings will be fine. They have now fallen behind the Sharks 2-0. Yet, they are the Wings, and San Jose is the Sharks. The refs absolutely jewed the Wings last night in game two, and gave the Sharks some of the most bullshit diving calls in the world. It was like watching my team play Paulus. I'm sticking with my Wings in 6.

The Flyers will be fine. They were rusty. And still forced overtime. Eight days off is a lot. Just coming right back and dominating again is tough. Tuukka Rask is so overrated its a joke. He's decent, but get off his dick. Boucher will be better, our D will be better, and our offense will be better than our 4 goal showing in game one. I'm looking for 6+ tonight. Soooo pumped.

The Pens may not be fine. I have a ton of confidence in the them, despite the fact that I hate them more than Satan. If they would have won game two, I basically would have just handed them the series. But they didn't win. They lost at home. And scored only one goal. Halak looked insane again. Going back to Montreal for two games, they should be very scared...

The Blackhawks are fucked. I took them to lose in seven, but I'm now thinking five. They looked terrible. And Luongo didn't. I don't see this series getting competitive at all..

As for the NBA, we know there won't be any surprises. Which is why it sucks until, and maybe even through, the Finals. Lakers over Jazz, Spurs over Suns, Magic over Hawks, and I guess Cavs over Celtics. Though I'm gonna stick with my preseason Spurs over Celtics. I dunno. But who cares. It's the NBA..
