As per the last article as preseason gets underway I am continuing my predictions for the NHL division standings, today it’s the top heavy Metro Division. Let’s get to it. Out of respect to John Gaudreau, and the Columbus Blue Jackets I will not be ranking them at this time. #7) Washington CapitalsWhile the goal…

Over the next few days I will go through every division and attempt to predict where teams will fall in the standings at the end of the season starting with 8th place and going to 1st.So starting with the Atlantic Division, arguably the most competitive division in the NHL #8) Buffalo SabresI know there seems…

Starting in the Eastern Conference with the New York Rangers and the Carolina Hurricanes, no one knows who will be starting in net for the Rangers. It’ll either be the veteran in Lundqvist, or the newcomer with almost no experience in Shestyorkin. If I was the Rangers I’d go with the experienced and hungry for…

The Los Angeles Dodgers signed Mookie Betts to a 12 year $365 million contract extension, that will average out to $30.4 million a year. To spend that much on a single player and to still be able to afford putting your team on the field says that you have the money to do it, what…

This debate is timeless, who’s the greatest quarterback to ever play the game? Names are thrown around, the younger generations say it’s Tom Brady, or Drew Brees, the older generations say it’s Joe Montana, Peyton Manning, or any number of NFL players. I wanted to enlighten a few people with a new name, a name…
