As you know by now the NHL and the NHLPA have reached a tentative agreement, ending a long and drawn out labor dispute which nearly wiped away another season.
The season will either consist of 50 games and begin on January 15, or 48 games with a start date of January 19. It is also widely speculated that the truncated schedule will feature matchups only within the team's respective ... Read More

This year has not been a great year for me -- as far as sports are concerned.
The USC Trojans entered the season as the preseason number one team only to spend the last week in December gearing up for the 6-7 Georgia Teach Yellow Jackets, whom they will face in the Sun Bowl on New Year’s Eve. Not to mention the pain I'm still feeling with them losing to both UCLA and Notre Dame in the same ... Read More

I often read and hear about players "back in the day" that bled the colors of their team. Every sport has great rivalries on paper, but do the players really care about them anymore?
I've longed thought about this topic, but the recent news of Kevin Youkilis signing with the Yankees brought it to the forefront for me again.

Typically I'll throw some stats your way and analyze why something is going good or bad, but this is simply a somber question. Will we ever get hockey back?

The NHL officially canceled all preseason games for the month of September and could soon decide to forgo the entire exhibition slate if a deal between the players and the owners is not agreed upon.
As of this writing not only are both sides nowhere near an agreement, there doesn't appear to be a sense of urgency from either side. Unlike the NFL and NBA lockout deadlines, this one pretty ... Read More

A few days ago I logged onto the official website of the Los Angeles Kings to purchase a mini season ticket plan that a few friends and I were going to go in on.
We are longtime King's sufferers. The highlight reel of Wayne Gretzky playing for the Kings during the 1993 playoffs was wonderful, but after a while we realized we'd never really go deep in the playoffs -- yes, "we". When you ... Read More

There has long been this notion that major sports media outlets discount the West Coast in just about every sport.
Quick, don't blink, but as of this writing the Los Angeles Kings are on the front page of both ESPN.com and FOXSPORTS.com. Chances are once you hit those pages in a few hours it will have been replaced by either the Eurocup or the NBA Finals.
I can't argue with ... Read More
