It's Christmas Day!

Well at least for some of us it is as the NHL season begins in North America tonight...the NHL just keeps trying overseas, 10 years ago it was Japan, last year England, at least this year they got hockey playing countries like Sweden and the Czech Republic. They'll play an outdoors game again on New Year's Day at Wrigley Field of all places as the up and coming Blackhawks will host the defending champion Red Wings.

Fearless Prediction for the Final 4 Time:

Eastern Conference Finals- Montreal over Pittsburgh
Western Conference Finals- Detroit over San Jose

Stanley Cup Finals- Detroit over Montreal, 4 games to 3

There ya have it..check back in mid-June!

Now on to the big events...the major league baseball championship series get underway tonight in Philadelphia, it's hard for me to pull for the Phillies since they've dispatched the Mets each of the last two years, but there's a big time reason I'm pulling for them this year:




I've interviewed Coaster several times, he's a local legend here in Fargo and there's the outside chance I'd be heading to the World Series to cover him, so.....

Philadelphia 4-3 over Los Angeles
Boston 4-2 over Tampa Bay

There ya have it...let the fun begin!
