Is this year a year that a Canadian team will hoist the cup

The last time a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup was in 1993 when the Montreal Canadians beat the Los Angeles Kings the series was 4-1. The last time that a Canadian team was in the cup final was in 2011 when the Vancouver Canucks lost to the Boston Bruins. Vancouver lost that series 4-3 in Vancouver and after the game there were riots in the streets of Vancouver cars were getting set on fire and getting tipped over. Does Canada even want a team to go to the cup final because if the team loses would there be another riot?.




In my opinion I think that the next Canadian team to win the cup would be the Montreal Canadians because they have the best record out of Canadian teams right now and they made it far in last years playoffs but with recent struggles and how the Vancouver Canucks have been dominating the last games they have been playing. there is a saying that the west wins the cup probably  because people might think that they have the more powerful teams and if that is true than the Vancouver Canucks have a good chance if they can keep up being in the top 3 teams. Are those the only Canadian teams that could win this year?. No the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Winnipeg Jets as well as the Calgary Flames are in good positions and if they can hold those positions until the all-star game they should be good because over the last 3 years 75% of teams that have been in a playoff spot after the all-star game have made the playoffs and if those 5 Canadian teams can hold their spots than Canada would have a good chance of finally hoisting the cup again on Canadian soil. 

The World Series

The 2014 World Series is underway and who would have thought that the Kansas city Royals would be in the World series and who would have thought that they beat the Oakland A`s and the LA angels and win against the Baltimore Orioles and sweep all these teams.In the first game of the world series they lost to San Francisco and that was the first time they lost in the playoffs since 1985 and they won the world series that year. The other team in the world series is the San Francisco Giants and they are looking for their third world series in five years they have a lot more experience in the playoffs then Kansas City. I don't think that it will matter Kansas City came to play and they are a good team with excellent bullpen three of their pitchers have a combined ERA ( Earned Run Average ) of 0.95 which is incredible and when the Royals are leading and their bullpen comes into the game it will be a great game for the Royals management. The Royals have Incredible defense.

The giants have a 3-2 series lead going into tonight`s game number 6 in Kansas City after losing a game that the Royals needed to win now the pressure is on for the Kansas City Royals if they want to win the world series they will have to win this game at home first. But the Giants are coming off a game that has them one win away from winning the World Series and upsetting the Kansas City fans and winning their 3 World Series in 5 years. With a stellar performance from Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner who shut out the Royals 5-0. Right now the Giants have the better chance to win but i wouldn't count out the Royals because no one would have said at the beginning of the season that the Kansas City Royals would be in the World Series and have won 8 games in a row and face the Giants in a close series.

Too many injuries in pre-season?

 In the NHL pre-season there has been a lot of injuries and some belong to star players and can really hurt a team in the beginning of the regular season. There has been fans that want pre-season gone because it is pointless and their stars keep getting hurt. with some of the injuries only lasting two weeks and others are season ending injuries will the NHL think about getting rid of the pre-season or will they make it just that rookies get to play and give the star players time just to practice instead of getting hurt in games that don't matter to their standings or what they will do in the regular season. with some players not even training in the off season and they go right into playing pre-season games they have a high chance of getting hurt and possibly missing the season.








In my opinion I think that they shouldn't get rid of pre-season because even though people don't like that there teams stars are getting hurt for games that don't matter I still think that it is fun to watch the rookies get a chance to play in pro arenas and with fans cheering when they come out on the ice is a fun view and I hope that the NHL will keep the pre-season in the future and I am sure that they will keep it and I don't think that nothing will change it. I think that the only thing that could happen would be is that the teams keep their all-stars off their roster and make them train on and off the ice and just keep the rookies to play the pre-season games to make them get used to playing in front of lots of fans and the high pace speed of playing in the NHL. Another thing that rookies have to endure is to have the mental toughness and physical toughness to play in the NHL with all the hits to take and to deal with the fans and the pressure of the media after every game asking hard questions and to deal with the social media hearing about how the fans will have tons of hate towards how you play. so I think that the NHL should not keep the pre-season but i don't think that it will change.

Philadelphia Eagles 3-0 are they gonna keep the undefeated streak going?

The Philadelphia Eagles are 3-0 to start the season and are leading their division and they have to play the 1-2 49rs in San Francisco which could be a problem because they are in a opposing teams stadium. So far this season they have 101 points for and 78 points against. they are second in points in the league and second in passing yards. and the way they are playing right now they can beat the 49rs and keep the streak going.



In my opinion the eagles will  lose to the 49rs because the 49rs have a better offensive core and defensive core and I think that the eagles will choke against this team because they have too much pressure of being a sleeper team that is undefeated and pressure by the fans in Philadelphia  

Blue Jays Cursed?

Are the Toronto Blue Jays cursed?. The Toronto Blue Jays seem to be doing really good before August they are always playing like a Playoff team that could win the World Series but as soon as the playoff race starts they always seem to choke and fall from first place to 4th or 3rd. And the teams that are in front of the Blue Jays they are always out of reach. some people say that the Toronto Blue Jays are cursed and that they will not make it back to the championship team of 92 and 93. This year might be different though as the Jays are only 3.5 games out of the wild card but there is no chance for the jays to make the division because they are 10 games out of 1st place behind the Baltimore Orioles. With the way that the Jays are playing they might break the "Curse of Toronto". After this weekend the jays are slipping farther away from getting into the playoffs after losing the series over the Tampa bay Rays. Luckily for the Jays the other teams that are ahead of the Jays lost so that could help the Jays get their stuff together but they have a tough road ahead of them because they have to face the Baltimore Orioles now and the last series of the year so if they get on a hot streak they could have more confidence going into the last series of the season.

My opinion is that the Blue Jays are not cursed. I think that the Jays are not cursed because they just don't have the money to  buy good players and to maybe buy a better coach. but with the season only 13 games till the end and 2 players that probably wont be on the roster next season  Colby Rasmus and Casey Janssen. who will be the next closing pitcher and will Anthony Gose be able to fill in the center field spot when Rasmus leaves I don't think that the jays will make the playoffs this year ir next year.

Sedins` still young enough to lead?

Was last season a sign that the Sedins` are getting to old to be leading a team?
The Sedins` will turn 34 on opening night when their new four year contract begins. They never started out fast but always in prime shape but if the Sedins` have truly lost their touch that could be a problem for Vancouver. With new coach Willie Desjardins can the Sedins` have a new start with old coach John Tortorella gone. With injuries to older players that can mean that the end is near but with no injuries to the Sedins` they could be in the top of the league in goals and points.

My opinion on the Sedins` is that if they stay healthy this year they can lead the Canucks but if injuries happen again this year they can be in real trouble of not returning next season and if they do get hurt and return will they have the same skills as they did before getting hurt?
