Last post before Hiatus?

Could be my last post before hiatus here,if I have time I will add a recap of tonight's Devils vs Maple Leafs.

As mentioned the Devils play the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs at the Rock tonight at 7:00.
Marty Brodeur is between the pipes for the Devils,so bet on Kevin Weekes playing tomorrow night vs the Rangers.
I will miss the game vs the Rangers and Monday's game vs the Penguins.

Predictions for this weekends pair of terrific title bouts.
We like Juan Manuel Marquez over Rocky Juarez by decision,as well as Mikkel Kessler by close decision over Joe Calzaghe.
But keep in mind that the Kessler-Calzaghe fight is in Calzaghe's native Wales,so if indeed the decision is tight,the call may go the way of the Welshman.

The Ashland Arrows are at home in the State playoffs vs the Olentangy Liberty Patriots.
The game is televised on Sports Time Ohio at 11 PM on tape delay.

Our man in Japan,Brandon Siefken sends us a note that the Seattle Mariners were in Nippon land talking to Hiroshima Carp righthander Hiroki Kuroda.
The 28 year old Kuroda is expected to come to the US for next season.

Ryan sends us the news of the death of Paul Tibbets at the age of 92.
Tibbets was a pilot that named his craft after his mother (Enola Gay) and then used the plane to drop the first atomic bomb.

The Seattle (Super) Sonics have applied to move the team to Oklahoma City.
This has been the most well known secret to NBA followers for quite a while.
Nothing against Oklahoma City,but it certainly is no Seattle in population and after a few year honeymoon,it too will struggle at the gate.

Troy Crowder is playing in Thailand and is a goal scorer?
The former Devil tough guy noted for his classic clashes with Bob Probert played for a North America team that lost in the semi-finals.
Crowder was always a favorite of mine and I even have a VHS tape of his fights on ice....

The Casper Rockies of the Pioneer League have changed their name to the Casper Ghosts (bad pun) and their 3 different hats will glow in the dark.
Oh Brother....

Back with the Devils recap if I can,if not- we will see you Wednesday.
As always if you see anything that you think is interesting and would like me to comment on-drop a link by email.
If I use it,you will get mentioned for sending it of course.....
