  • Speculating on Whether Regehr Should be Traded by the Flames reggie

    Based on a few comments on the Illegal Curve radio show, I put up a post on Matchsticks & Gasoline yesterday about the Flames potential to trade Regehr and why it’s time to do so.

    The article is posted here.

    Below is an excerpt from the article.

    “Now before everyone gets their guard up and says Regehr is [...]

    Sometimes things just don’t work out like we thought.  Items bought on eBay looked better in the picture than when they arrive in the mail, your [...]

  • Fireman Ed Should Pour a Stiff Drink fireman ed

    Rex Ryan may be the king of the F-bombs, but he better use as many as he can during the regular season.  The Jets won’t be making the playoffs.

    The Jets used up all their luck last year.  There are no playoff-bound cakewalk games at the end of this season’s schedule.  Opposing kickers are all out [...]

  • What is Darrelle Revis Worth to the Jets? revis

    Revis Island can be a lonely place for receivers.  At the moment it’s also a lonely place for a Darrelle Revis.  The man who was hands-down the best defensive player in the league last year is not practicing or spending time with his teammates, and it HAS to be a frustrating way to follow up [...]

The East Finals will be flooded with stories about which Cinderella has the more dainty glass slipper.  Here’s a tip for you though, it doesn’t matter.  The West has two powerhouse teams playing and whomever wins the West will win the Cup.

The real question, as always, is who will win.  Here is my Eastern Conference prediction, and I’ll try to post [...]

Not since 1987 has a Shark gotten his revenge like this.  But that was on the silver screen and this is on the frozen stage.

“Jumbo” Joe Thornton was shipped out of Boston for his failure to lead the Bruins to the promised land.  And since his arrival in San Jose, he’s been a regular season [...]

Division Round Deep Outs – Dignity Bowl Update!

…And the NFL is now down to four teams.

…And the dignity bowl has been turned upside down! Well, maybe not turned upside down, but it seems as though order was restored a bit, this week. For me at least.

Dignity Bowl: Our NFL picks for the Division Round Playoff Games

With one week under our belts, it doesn’t look like anyone on the Sports Opinionated staff knew their stuff. We were a collective 4-8 while our moms went 2-10.

Personally, I felt a little like Alan Garner (Zach Galifinakis’ character) on The Hangover, lost and throwing out comments that had no relevance whatsoever. In honor [...]
