Rematch

The Red Wings took out the Blackhawks in OT last night. Helm came through big last night with the game winner and with some excellent penalty kill. Now its time to focus on the Penguins. Game one starts Saturday with game two Sunday.

I don't really expect a much different outcome from last years finals. I believe the Wings are better then last year and the Penguins have not changed much at all with the exception of losing arguably their best player from last year Hossa.

I am going to predict the Wings in 5. I think the overall skill on Detroit is just way too much for Crosby and friends.

THE CAT IS BACK

Another awesome video provided by keyboard cat. For some reason I can not get enough of this cat, just hilarious.

Memories

I'm getting excited about Madden 2010 coming out in August, but it got me to thinking about some of the old school football games I enjoyed as a kid. Check out these videos, maybe they will bring back memories for you too.

My personal All-Time favorite Tecmo Super Bowl


Fun game, better commercial



Gotta love good old Madden 95

Give him another shot!

Michael was released from prison to serve the remainder of his sentence from his home due to the over crowdedness of Virginia prisons.

Vick still needs to get reinstated by the commish, but I believe he deserves another shot to play in the NFL. Many people everyday are released from prison with the hope of having a second chance in society. Michael did the time he was sentenced to and now deserves another chance to do what he is good at. That is being an NFL quarterback.

I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but as someone who has been through the legal system, I believe everyone deserves a second chance but maybe not a third or forth. We will have to wait and see what happens in this story over the summer. Hopefully everyone that has hated Vick so much since the dog fighting can look past it and understand he has served his punishment. And hopefully Vick has turned a new leaf and is ready to be a new man.

Game 1: Easy

Well game 1 of the Wings Blackhawks series went just about how I thought it would. The game really wasnt close and I never got as nervous as I did during any of the games against Anaheim. Detroit won 5-2 and Chicago tried to play a wide open game which really favors Detroit. But how about Dan Cleary, after finishing the last series with the game 7 winner, he adds 2 goals against Chicago today.

The series should only take 5 games I believe. Chicago may steal one at home but I dont think you will see anymore then that. Go Wings!

On a side note the Tigers are looking good this weekend. After a rough series with the Twins the Tigers bounced back with a 3 game sweep of Oakland and moved back a top the Central Division.

Hey Stand Right There

So your telling me that there are people who have seen Charles Barkley swing a golf club and yet stand in front of him before he does it? This just shows that even with the money to have Tigers golf coach, some people just aren't cut out for certain sports although they may be a hall of famer in another.

The fun ensues now



UPDATE: Now Tiger can show us what it looked liked from the side

Keyboard Cat So You Know

Ok, so the debate will be settled tonight about if Datsyuk is better than Ovechkin. Ovechkin did at least have a goal but once again he needs more around. If Datsyuk scores the winning or any goal that leads to a victory he will then be put above Alex on the totem poll of NHL players.

The Wings will need to make sure to skate like they can because they will then get the penalties and chances to take out the ducks. They can't get into the crap after the plays and muck it up, that's what the Ducks want them to do because it brings them down to their level.

Maybe in the end it will be the guy who is overshadowed by everyone but keeps bringing his lunch pal to Joe Louis. The same guy who has been the blue collar worker on other championship teams and still has some blue workers in the Motor City playing him down. Yes Chris Osgood it is time for you to shut them up again, granted he is 1-3 in game sevens, but he has been here before and will be the difference maker in this one. Will be fun to show them once again why you should go to the HOF.

Ok now for keyboard cat. The cat is put into videos to make things funny when they otherwise might not be. You will be seeing more of him as it eventually encompasses the inter webs with the force of the Swine Flu. Here is an example:

GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!

They will have to shoot me?

If this guy can't get UM going I will be very suprised, that is all.

Who's Better?

I was with a couple friends the other night watching some hockey when the two of them starting arguing over who is better, Ovechkin or Datsyuk?

I personally think that Ovechkin is better right now just by numbers. I think Datsyuk is awesome also, so I am kind of torn. Ovechkin is way better offensively, but Datsyuk is way better defensively. Ovechkin is just OK on defense, but Datsyuk is pretty damn good on offense.

If you look at it from a offensive/defensive stand point then the two are pretty even. When you look at it from a points stand point Ovechkin is way better. Just over these playoffs Ovechkin has 10 goals and 7 assists in just 11 games, while Datsyuk has 1 goal and 3 assists through 9 games.

I see so many different point of views on this argument and I really don't know which way to lean sometimes. That is when I realized how dumb an argument it is. Ovechkin carries his whole team while Datsyuk is not asked to do that, so until Datsyuk has to carry a team and win by himself then we can't compare. Not to take anything away from Datsyuk but he has much better supporting cast then Ovechkin.

If Datsyuk concentrated on scoring then he could possibly be known as one of the best scorers ever, but that's not who Datsyuk is. He is probably going to spend his career in Detroit and never have so little talent around him that he would have to do that. And if Ovechkin concentrated on being better defensively then I would bet he could be known as one of the best defensive forwards. He wont get that opportunity either cause Washington needs him to score to win.

If you got an opinion about it give us a comment. If you are still torn check out these videos to compare.

My buddy likes to call him "The Sniper"




Another Datsyukian Deke?

MEGATRON

We are hopefully about to begin a new era of the Detroit Lions. We have all been just disappointed during the Matt Millen era, but Millen did one thing right during his tenure here. He drafted Calvin Johnson. We hope Calvin is here for many years, but that all depends on how things progress over the next few years. I put a few videos of Megatron up here for all of you. Enjoy!

Here's the best play of the 2008 season for Detroit.


This is Calvin as a freshman at GT


I hate Notre Dame.....Thanks Calvin
