Almost Time

I know the NBA and NHL finals are both still going on right now but to me it seems both those series are already over. The Wings will probably close out Pittsburgh in game 6 Tuesday and the Lakers now with a 2-0 lead will probably win in 4 or 5.

So with hockey and basketball about to come to an end it got me to thinking about some fantasy football. I am very excited for fantasy football because I have Matt Forte in 2 keeper leagues and I expect a lot out of him this year.

So I found a video of some insight for next season and I thought you guys may enjoy it, cause it's never too early to start talking fantasy football.

Cry Baby Crosby

The Wings have started this Stanley Cup just like they did last year winning the first 2 games at home. Another convincing win, and another Crosby crying show.

The Wings went down 1 in the first period but rebounded to score 3 unanswered goals throughout the rest of the game. The one thing that makes me mad about game 2 is the fact that Malkin got an instigator penalty which should be an automatic 1 game suspension, but of course the NHL loves Pitt and would not let them lose there best player for game 3.

Kudos to Zetterberg for beating the crap out of Malkin after Malkin came at him with his stick (I guess the NHL didnt see that).

Game 3 is tomarrow and Detroit plays good on the road, I am predicting a 4-2 Detroit win and 2 boxes of tissues for Crosby's tears at the end of the game.

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.

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:



Be prepared to get to know keyboard cat if you already don't.

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

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?
