![]() One thing you will never see(at least I freaking hope not!) is a shootout in the playoffs. I think if Bettman tried sometime that assinine they would find his body stuffed somewhere with a bag of hockey pucks stuffed down his throat. And I think Toskala would be the prime suspect. ![]() On a bright note, both our Flyers and Leafs won tonight, Jen! ![]() |

I watch every once and a while, although not as often as other sports like MMA and boxing.

![]() ![]() ![]() Confirming earlier speculation, it has been announced that two regular season NFL games will be played in the UK, most probably London, in 2010. Two as yet un-named teams have agreed to be the home teams in London, their opposition has yet to be confirmed. The fixtures will be announced by the middle of January at the very latest. Cardiff and Edinburgh would like to host NFL games, as would cities in Germany, China, etc. But the teams appear to be very comfortable spending a week in London, maybe the players all want to visit Buckingham Palace. League bosses in the US are keen to play games outside London and have hinted there could be as many as four games per season played in Britain by 2012. The old "Super Bowl in London" chestnut has also reared its crazy head again! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Do the Buffalo Bills games in Toronto get much coverage, or are they ignored? |

I wonder if they will alienate the home fans by moving so many games away? That is revenue for the stadium that is lost(concession stands, parking, etc.), and that is a game that a home-town fan will not be able to attend(because the average fan cannot afford to travel to the UK to attend a football game, no matter how diehard they are ![]() It will be interesting to see how this experiment(and that is what this is) unfolds down the road. |

A couple of reports in one(since last night's is so small).
Here are the scores for Dec 13th's games. 1. Chicago beat Tampa Bay 4-0. Chicago dominated from start to finish, and Niemi was excellent again. He has started 7 games, and of them 3 were shutouts. Patrick Kane left the game after suffering an upper body injury(I hate how the teams are allowed to be so freaking vague about injuries). It looks like he either got hurt when he fell against the boards(he was tripped) or the puck hit him. It remains to be seen if he will miss any time or not. 2. Colorado beat Calgary 3-2. Calgary tried to pin their hopes for victory on Kiprusoff alone(yet again) and that cost them. They are going to burn the guy out if they keep this up. Here are the scores for Dec 14's games(I will update the Vancouver/LA score when it is a final) 1. Philadelphia beat Boston 3-1. The was a game that they deserved to win as they played quite well and peppered Thomas with a lot of shots. I am sure there were a lot of relieved sighs in the Philly locker room when this game was done. 2. Toronto beat Ottawa 3-2. YEAH!!!! They are playing well right now, and are now only 2 points out of a playoff spot. Freakin' A! ![]() 3. Florida squished the Islanders like a little bug, 7-1. The Islanders are struggling quite a bit right now. 4. Atlanta beat the Rangers 3-2 in the shootout. The Rangers certainly tried to win(as they had a lot of shots on net), but victory was denied to them yet again. 5. Nashville beat Columbus 5-3. Nashville keeps on rising, and Columbus keeps on falling, falling, falling. Thud. 6. Buffalo beat Montreal 4-3. Considering how good Buffalo has been playing, I did not like Montreal's chances(no offense, Ila). That being said, they gave Buffalo a run for their money. Close game. 7. Detroit beat Phoenix 3-2. A game where neither Datsyuk or Zetterberg got any points. That is a rarity. A same they won, though, as I wanted Bryzgalov to get me two more points. 8.Vancouver VS La: TBD |

However a Dolphins fan interviewed in 2007 at the first London game mentioned, if it wasn't for the NFL game in the UK he'd have never applied for his first passport. Someone in charge at the New England Patriots, said they enjoyed playing a game in London, but only because it was an away fixture. They would never give up a home fixture. Adding a 17th game to the regular season has been mentioned again. All NFL teams would play one overseas fixture (probably the opening game of the season), with up to four matches played in one city/country. |
