Remembering Shawn Tompkins today; on his birthday.
Posted on 16 Mar 2012 by Justin Barracosa.
Today, March 16, 2012 would have been the 38th birthday of famed 2-time National Karate Champion, Shawn Tompkins. Tompkins, aptly nicknamed “The Coach,” passed unexpectedly in his sleep from a heart attack on Sunday August 14, 2011. "The Coach" Tompkins was married to Emilie Stout, sister to Sam Stout, and also trained such notable fighters as Vitor Belfort, Mark Hominick,...

Running Back Situation is Getting Worse
Posted on 18 Jul 2011 by Brenden Hull.
A position that was supposed to be a strength for the Bulldogs in 2011 has quickly turned into a major liability. First, Washaun Ealey left the team by “mutual agreement” after the conclusion of spring practice. His departure followed several disciplinary issues, including two suspensions in the last seven months. Mark Richt had constantly stated that Ealey needed to improve his beh...

Kings Make Pitch for Brad Richards
Posted on 1 Jul 2011 by Eric Cooney.
I predicted the Kings would not go after Brad Richards. I was completely wrong. Granted I was using things like “math” and “logic” to come to that conclusion. The Kings have yet to lock up the most valuable free-agent this season, and no I am not referring to Richards. I'm referring to restricted free-agent Drew Doughty. With the Kings own star defenseman's con...

Boston Bruins Summer Playbook
Posted on 1 Jul 2011 by Jim Mulligan.
Over the years, I have argued that Bruins GM, Peter Chiarelli, has overpayed while paying for his team. I have written in this space that Andrew Ference, Tim Thomas, Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron and Michael Ryder were all overpaid by at least $1M per player. Due to these overpayments, the Bruins were always up against the cap ceiling and could never get that Tomas Kaberle, puck moving defensem...

Oilers Summer Playbook: In a word “Depth”; Souray placed on waivers today
Posted on 30 Jun 2011 by Scott Pattison.
In a word, the NHL’s 2011 UFA Day will undoubtedly be about “depth” for the Edmonton Oilers, specifically the potential for locking up a solid third or fourth line special teams’ player with a strong face-off record, as well as a punishing blueliner. On the heels of selecting Red Deer Rebels’ centre, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins with the first overall pick at the NHL draft for the second conse...

MLB TRADE TALK – WHO GOES? WHO STAYS? WHO PAYS?
Posted on 29 Jun 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Most of the time in life what matters is what one does, not what you say you will do. Baseball General Managers have the rare aspect of their job description in that other people (the media and fans) spend a lot of time focused on what we think they should do. Every writer, analyst and fan has their own opinion regarding what their team should do before the vaunted non-waiver trading deadline. ...

The Ottawa Senators Summer Playbook
Posted on 28 Jun 2011 by Mika Oehling.
Now that the draft is done and free agency frenzy is now on, it's time to take stock of the team and hazard a few guesses as to which direction it will take for the next season. What the Senators Have The Senators currently have a total of 10 forwards signed in for next season, 6 defensemen and 1 goaltender. Svatos, Shannon and Lessard are the odd men out for the forwards, while the defense wi...

Murray plays smart at the 2011 NHL Draft
Posted on 24 Jun 2011 by Mika Oehling.
There was only one thing that was going to make up for the disappointment of foregoing a first round draft pick last year in exchange for a trade that has so far not profited the Ottawa Senators; a good showing at this year's draft in Minnesota. And Murray didn't disappoint or make a predictable choice. In fact, he made an unlikely choice which was referred to in my pre-draft blog entry, mostly...

6-10 Atop the Fantasy Boards
Posted on 24 Jun 2011 by David Willow.
Well we dipped our feet in the water with the top 5 players on fantasy boards let's take a look at the rest of the top 10 across most draft boards. There's definitely less of a consensus to me when it comes to the 6-10 portion of the the top picks mainly due to PPR (points per reception) values that can fluctuate their overall value. Also, there are times when many fantasy managers will reach f...

2011 Draft Lessons: Expect the Unexpected
Posted on 24 Jun 2011 by Eric Cooney.
Around this time of year many different media outlets, scouts, and bloggers offer up their mock drafts for how the NHL Entry Draft will likely go down. I'm not here to poo-poo their mock drafts because the purpose of them is not to predict exactly how it will go down, but to try to get inside a General Manager's head for a moment and figure out what they want and what they need. For the mos...

Heat fill a need with Norris Cole
Posted on 24 Jun 2011 by Warren Shaw.
Conventional wisdom coming into Thursday night's NBA Draft was that the Miami Heat would be selecting a point guard. Team sources indicated earlier in the week that if all things remained the same (with their pick) they would most likely draft a general. Things didn't exactly remain the same but the mission was still accomplished. Miami found a willing and familiar partner in the Minnesota Timb...

Flames Draft Look – Regher
Posted on 23 Jun 2011 by Shane Hoopfer.
It's taken a while but the stink of last season has finally come off for most Flames fans. With the upcoming draft Calgary is able to look towards the future and that means the draft. First off I'll suggest that there is a better than 50/50 chance the Flames won't end up using their 13th overall pick in this years draft. There are a lot of rumblings that depending on what is in play the Flames ...
