Balotelli is officially Liverpool's laziest player: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/liverpool/11570618/Mario-Balotelli-is-officially-Liverpools-laziest-player.html If Labour win the election maybe it will be illegal to say such things:nono: in future.

Unbelievable! I mentioned earlier this week that the Caps black player Joel Ward often scores clutch goals in important matches. Well, it has happened again. He just scored the winning goal against the Rangers on the very last second. A buzzer beater. That said, Ovechkin was the star. He set...

OK, Keith Olbermann is a jerk. We all know that. But here he basically says the NHL playoffs are more deserving of your attention than those of the crappy NBA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wO1UIH0rdQU Even Olbermann can be right once in a while.

He also took a penalty - it looked retaliatory - that nullified what would've been a second Tampa goal. Anaheim look pretty good in the West though their sweep of Winnipeg was deceptive as the first three could've gone either way. It would be funny if they beat Boudreau's old team, Washington...

Guy's holding a bottle of vodka while trying to steal a purse:

That's it for the Islanders for another year as they lose 2-1 @ Washington. Joel Ward scored one of Washington's goals - he does seem to score clutch goals - and the Islanders went 0 for 14 in power plays throughout the series. Up next for the Caps the NY Rangers. It is a shame, not only because...

...but according to Eurosport Hazard is not yet ready for Real Madrid: https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/the-hairdryer/eden-hazard-isn-t-ready-for-real-madrid-143735802.html

The Islanders won what might have been their last game at "the old barn", the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum to set up a game 7 clash with the Capitals. The Islanders are moving to Brooklyn next season. They've always had a kind of working class blue collar image so it'll be interesting to...

They've been doing this (ie third jerseys) in England for some time. It's been somewhat controversial with fans, and especially parents of fans, as it always looked like a transparent attempt to sell more overpriced jerseys. I think they might have even clamped down on it due to the complaints...

So is this now classified as a clash of colours?

The worst incident in France in recent weeks involved a Polish criminal who raped and murdered a 9 year old young French girl. He was in France thanks to the borderless EU and apparently the Polish justice system's odd rule of allowing criminals to transport themselves to jail. (As an aside...

BS2 - In previous threads you've said that as a Muslim you prefer Middle Eastern girls and that you work in the Alberta oil industry. Last time I checked Saudi Arabia and a number of other ME countries have considerable oil industries - indeed they have little else. Why not take your skills...

That looks an incident from Euro 2012 when Russian supporters parading through Warsaw were attacked by their Polish counterparts.

For some reason I instantly thought of Seattle when I read the title but I'm not sure why. Maybe because it is whiter than most American cities and so it is just more noticeable when they are cheering for their black athletes. BTW there's some disagreement about the guy holding the misspelt...

After coming out like a house on fire and scoring early the Penguins dominated the first period. I missed most of the second period but when I came back the colour analyst was saying the Pens are playing a dangerous game sitting on their lead. A few minutes later the Rangers equalised. I'm not...

Correction: The CFL moved to 9 teams last year. It's still ludicrous. It would be great if there were fewer games in the NHL season with fewer playoff berths and it ended before May. Then the top players could be available for the international tournament in mid-May. So you'd have regular...

I agree. The NFL has it right but, of course, there are reasons they can only play so many games per season. I barely watch the NHL until late March. I watch plenty of other hockey - IIHF World Juniors and in May I'll watch the World Championships, and next year the NHL World Cup but NHL regular...

Kevin Weekes was brought in by the CBC a year or two ago but was not retained when the Canadian NHL rights were bought up by a telecommunications company. So Weekes working at NHL Network - which hardly anybody on either side of the border watches - is seen as a demotion in Canada.

Prostitution should be legal but regulated like in parts of Germany and the Netherlands. Easy access to sex would reduce crime and in the case of Muslim men reduce their likelihood of exploding (so to speak) from pent up frustration. Paying for prostitutes in a country like Canada or the US...

Capitals win in OT. At least Ward wasn't the goalscorer - it was Backstrom.

Good point about Fleury. Even in losing last night he made a big save in the 2nd that gave them a chance to come back otherwise they'd have been trailing by three in the third. Watching my favourite team since the early 80s, the NY Islanders, against the Capitals. Islander power play not...

"Byfuglien clocks Corey Perry after he scores" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MP_pcyJcwkY

I remember the final game well. David Volek's 7th game overtime goal won it for the Isles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRsrjIVkfL8 That Islander team surprised everybody that year but fell to the Canadiens in the conference final. Since my last post Byfuglien gave away another penalty. I...

Another cheap shot from the African-American Dustin Byfuglien of the Winnipeg Jets. Right after conceding a goal he hits the Anaheim goalscorer (Perry) from behind and gets only a two minute minor.

I know the Penguins have some injuries but you are not going to win many playoff games when your shots on goal are still in single digits well into the 2nd period. They looked good in the 3rd when they were desperate but they were 2 goals behind by then.
