They fired Pat Quinn yesterday here in Toronto. I personally feel that he had to go. He was so out of touch with the changes that the new NHL had experienced and his reluctance to play younger athletes was his ultimate undoing, I believe.

Purdue coach Joe Tiller has seen enough over the past few months to convince him that Curtis Painter can be the school's next great signal-caller. The Purdue coaching staff likes his strong arm. They were pleasantly surprised with his decision-making while running the option. Tiller noted Painter is the strongest quarterback he has had in 10 seasons as coach.

They played okay in the first 2 periods but you are right overall they were sloppy! And when they had chances they'd lose the puck or something. Havlet looked terrible mis-playing the puck all the time! Until he scored that goal.

Go Sabres and Carolina tonight!!!!

Brett Favre informed the Packers on Tuesday that he will definitely play the 2006 season in Green Bay, league and team sources have told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

Favre shared his decision with general manager Ted Thompson and head coach Mike McCarthy in a telephone conversation on Tuesday morning, the sources said.

Neither Favre, Thompson nor McCarthy was available for immediate comment. Bus Cook, Favre's agent, did not return phone inquiries.

Favre has said previously that if he decides to play in 2006 it will be his final season in the NFL.

Dolphins halfback Ricky Williams lost his appeal with the NFL for violating the substance abuse policy and will be ineligible for the 2006 season.

Good for Ricky! All this really means to me is that there will be one more full time RB in the draft

"This is the perfect time," Jackson told the newspaper. "I don't want to get back into the pressure cooker of play-by-play and worry about travel. I don't want to die in a stadium parking lot."

Worst call I've seen in years just happened. I've been channel hopping between Buffalo/Philly and Carolina/Montreal and Carolina just scored. The ref beside the net is waving goal, goal. Then all of a sudden the second referee from outside the blueline...yes outside of the blueline comes in and waves it off. Apparantly he is saying there was "incidental" contact with the goalie.

Worst call in years. That is terrible. If there is contact with the goalie, call a penalty. If there isn't then it's a goal. And there was contact with the goalie BECAUSE 3 Montreal players were there with only 1 Carolina player throwing him around as he found the puck and put it in. It was a goal.

Terrible.

So now to the other hockey games. Colorado can sweep Dallas tonight. Sweep? Wow! It is amazing how a fantastic year (Dallas finished 2nd in the conference) can be wiped out in 4 short hockey games. LOL

Go Calgary! Go Buffalo!

The Houston Texans got the NFL Draft off to a stunning start a day earlier, bypassing Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush and instead signing defensive end Mario Williams with the No. 1 pick Friday night.

WoW, they've been saying they wanted Williams all week.

Should cause some bouncing throughout the draft tomorrow.

I thought it would be a wild one anyways with so much talent in it.

The man accused of throwing the cup that sparked a 2004 brawl between the Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons fans was sentenced Monday to 30 days in jail on an assault and battery charge.

John Green also was sentenced to two years' probation. The 41-year-old Green was convicted in March of one count of assault and battery for punching former Pacers player Ron Artest during the brawl at The Palace of Auburn Hills. Green was found not guilty of a second count of throwing the cup before Artest charged into the stands.

Judge Lisa Asadoorian ordered Green to attend anger management classes and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and stay away from the Palace while he is on probation.

Ramster · 2006-05-01, 10:58 PM

I'm in shock. Detroit, the best team in the NHL and the number 1 seed in the west just lost to the 8th seed Edmonton Oilers (which is there first series win in 8 years actually). That puts a serious dent in my hockey pool. Good thing I didn't have any Dallas players (the #2 seed) as they lost too.

Good news is another Canadian team advances and one will make the conference finals if Calgary wins tonight. Calgary is now the top seed in the west and will play Edmonton in the next round if they get by Anaheim.

Torn Rose · 2006-05-01, 11:19 PM

The tentative NHL schedule for Round 2 has the first games starting either next Friday or Saturday. Ottawa’s Scotiabank Place has booked Dora the Explorer, a children’s show, for next Saturday and Sunday, meaning the Sens would have to open on Friday night.

Holy Shit! I can't believe Dora's making the schedule for Round 2 of the NHL Playoffs!

Ramster · 2006-05-03, 08:15 AM

That is totally fucked up. I am probably going to grab some tickets if I can for game 1 or 2 and a Satuday or Sunday game would have been much better than a Friday or Monday game. And 2 days in between is stupid.

WTF books the place the Senators play during the playoffs for 2 nights in a row? One night can easily be worked around but 2 is tough.
