the mad sports man

new years eve. wow can you believe its almost 2007? lets see.... there were the olympics, jimmie johnson wins daytona 500 AND the nascar championship, b.c. lions wins grey cup, pittsburgh steelers win super bowl 40, then misses the playoffs. any everything else in betwee. right now im watching green bay at chicago. the nfl playoffs begin next weekend. we got dallas @seattle, n.y.giants @ philadelphia, kansas city @ indianapolis and n.y. jets @ new england in the wild card matchups with san diego, baltimore, chicago and new orleans getting byes. its getting close to 2007 in the eastern time zone, so see you in 2007.

50 in 39 games 25 years ago tonight wayne gretzky scored 5 goals against the philadelphia flyers and broke an nhl record shared by maurice richard and mike bossy. the fifth goal was into the empty net, which made it 50 in 39. the old record was 50 in 50 (by richard and bossy). gretzky scored 92 in the 1981-82 season. those records i doubt will be broken.

world jr. hockey watching canada and the usa and its 3-2 for canada in the second. yesterday canada beat sweden 2-0. belarus pulled a shocker yesterday beating finland 4-3 while germany pulled another shocker beating the us 2-1 in overtime. i like this tournament. watching some nhl hopefulls at their best. update: canada 6 usa 3. while germany beat slovakia 4-2.
