The Devils Reach the Top!


The Devils started off with a bad season but they have made a huge change. Through the past four months, they’ve been having a rough season. The Devil’s are on top now with a three way tie between Ottawa and Montreal for the Eastern Conference. For the first time, the Devils have been playing well the full game time. This was something they lacked in the beginning of the season. They lost a shoot out verse Buffalo and two days later lost to the Ducks at home. After loosing these games, the Devils made a turnaround. They started with a win verse the Carolina Hurricanes. The Devils then had a five in a row streak of winning to clinch the Atlantic Division. Sometimes you need to hit the bottom to realize you need to reach the top. In the beginning, the Devils were only playing well 20 to 30 minutes and gave a lot of points away. The Devils are playing well but the only concern they have is their defenseman Colin White. Colin White has been missing out on some games because of upper body soreness. Overall, the Devils are looking at a good season. Many did not have hope for the Devils but things have changed. I am happy the Devils made a turnaround because people think just because they start off bad; it’s down hill from there on. They have proved everyone wrong and show that anything could happen.

Major Crisis in NHL.


A major crisis has just happened in NHL Hockey. For the first time a player’s blade has injected into another’s throat causing much drama. Florida Panther’s forward Richard Zednik suffered a severe slash on the right side of his throat. Richard Zednik lost five units of blood and was rushed into emergency surgery. Zednik had his carotid artery nearly severed and underwent an hour of surgery to reconnect the artery. He is now in stabile condition and is expected to make a full recovery in about six to eight weeks. Zednik was sliced by teammate Olli Jokinens skate in the middle of Buffalo’s victory game. Doctors say he is very lucky because the skate blade just missed his jugular vein. The Doctors were also in shock that the skate blade did not hit any other artery or cause more damage. The only thing Zednik might suffer from afterward is some hoarseness. This crisis could have been avoided in many ways. I think hockey players should be wearing more protection. No one expected this to happen but it finally did and hopefully some changes will be made. I think all professional hockey players should have neck gear on because Zednik’s incident is so dangerous. Zednik’s incident could happen again in the future and could cause more damages such as even death.

Tynes Close to Signing $7M Deal with Giants


Lawrence Tynes gave the Giants a game winning field goal to win the NFC championship game. As a right now Tynes in a five year contract and will be a free agent in a month. The Giants do not want to take the chance of losing him, so they are thinking of offering him a new contract. The contract would be for $7 million dollars. I think Lawrence Tynes is a good kicker overall. Tynes did miss a 46 yard kick, when there was only 6:49 left on the clock to win the NFC championship. He later recovered himself in OT. Many say he's good and bad because he's unpredictable. He should stay on the Giants because he help them win the 2008 superbowl.

Shaq is Back


Shaquille O’Neal was the main player on the Miami Heat. Just recently he was traded to the Phoenix Suns. Shaq use to be a fast player but he has slowed down ever since his hip injury. Many people wonder if Shaquille would fit in with the Suns. They question his hip injury and his age of being 36 years old. Shaq is being paid $20 million but the criticism for Shaq is not good. I think Shaquille O’Neal would be a great addition to the Suns. Shaq is a big guy that many can’t get past. I predict that once Shaq starts to play, the Phoenix Suns will be happy they have him on the team.

The Giants Make a Killer Win!


The Giant have succeeded and won the superbowl. The Patriots thought they were going to recieve the title for a new record to be 19-0 but they did not succeed and finished 18-1. The Giants made a big play at the end with an overall score of 17-14. Everyone expected the Patriots quarterback Tom Brady to have a great game. He couldn't finish the game off the way we thought he could. The Giants quarterback Eli Manning received MVP for his outstanding play last minute to win the game. I think the Giants deserved everything they received. Everyone always has high expectation for Tom Brady and the Patriots just because of there record. The Giants ended up playing a great game last minute and should be proud to win the superbowl.

LeBron returns, leads Cavs


Lebron James has always been the Cavs best scorer. Lebron James sat out the game for a sprain right ankle. Lebron led the Cavaliers to a victory of 98-84 over the LA Clippers. Lebron James scored 28 points that night. Lebron missed the game verse Seattle on Thursday which they lost 101-95. Lebron injured himself during the Portland game. The Cavaliers have been 0-6 since Lebron has been out. In my opinion, without Lebron James the Cavaliers would have a terrible season. Lebron James is the Cleveland Cavaliers star player.

How will Giants cover Moss?


The Giants have a great shot at winning the superbowl this year but they were worried about the Patriots Randy Moss. Randy Moss is very fast and the Giants were told he is one of the hardest to defend. Sam Madison warned the Giants about Moss. After the December 29th game, the defenders were coming back saying, thank you for warning us about him. The Giants need to find a way to keep Moss from scoring and gaining more yards. Many people questioned, if Randy Moss would stop the Giants from winning the superbowl but they were wrong. The Giants accomplished covering one of the best receivers and won the superbowl. The Giants proved to all that anything can happen. The Patriots 18-0 record has come to an end thanks to the Giants hard work.
