Mike McCoy

Mike McCoy might not tear up the league, but the Blue Jays infielder is very valuable.

Allow me to explain.

Enjoy!

Final Thoughts - NHL Playoffs

The Bruins deserved to win. Vancouver simply fell apart when it mattered the most. Every single flaw on the Canucks' roster was exposed.

Tim Thomas was phenomenal. An incredible performance.

Final Thoughts - NBA Playoffs

Congrats to the Dallas Mavericks! I thought they would need seven games, but Dirk and co. had other plans.

I said this title was Miami's to lose and that's what happened. Lebron simply did not show up when it mattered. This was a huge learning experience for James; more potent than losing the 2007 final to the Spurs. Wade and Bosh were alright, but it wasn't enough.

If there's one thing to remember from this series and this concluding NBA season, it would be that karma exists; even in South Beach.

Re. Game 4, Stanley Cup Final

The Canucks have become incredibly undisciplined.

Luongo or Schneider? I'm glad I'm not Alain Vigneault right now.

NBA Playoff Predictions - Championship Round

Round Three: See previous post. In other words, wrong, wrong and wrong.

NBA Final

Dallas over Miami in seven games

Rematch of the 2006 Final. This time, the league title is Miami's to lose.

NHL Playoff Predictions - Stanley Cup Final

Round Three: Wrong, wrong and wrong.

Stanley Cup Final

Vancouver over Boston in six games

The Canucks must keep their foot on the gas at all times. Far too often, they take their foot off, allowing their opponents to take advantage. Any mistake will hurt Vancouver's chances. They must attack Tim Thomas.
