When Will The NHL Get It?

Can NHL Hockey ever capture what they provide in the Olympics? The truth is everyone loves Olympic Hockey. Just check out how many millions follow it should tell you how popular Olympic Hockey has become. There are many reasons this has not transferred to the NHL. One of the main reasons no matter how many fans like it is the fighting. Olympic Hockey does not have it and that is why it is so popular. Fighting takes away from the game no matter what people ma think. It interrupts the action and makes it harder for people to follow or care about NHL Hockey. Until they eliminate most of the fighting the NHL will never be as popular as they can be. That's a shame as it really is a great sport to watch and enjoy.

Dale Earnhardt Jr Grabs Another Daytona 500 Win

Dale Earnhardt Jr knows how tough it is to win the Daytona 500 as he has been close before, but Sunday was Dale Jr's day as he took the checkered flag to grab the win in the rain delayed race. Denny Hamlin finished second in The Great American Race. Junior now can work on rest of the season. It would be nice to see Junior win a championship and get the monkey off his back.

Why Do We Hate King James So Much?

It seems no matter what King James does on the court he always has his detractors on and off the court. Why is it we hate Lebron James so much? There are many reasons that come to mind. The Decision did not sit well and that is part of it. The other part is people are just trying to find fault in everything he does. James has made some quotes that probably he should have kept to himself.

James does so much on and off the court many people overlook his greatness. Before he even turned 18 everyone had him being the next Michael Jordan. He was called the chosen one and on almost every sports cover imaginable. Along the way he made some mistakes, but that is no reason to hate him like people do.There comes time when you must bury the hatchet and give him credit for what he has accomplished.



For Lebron James he wants to be the best ever and there is nothing wrong with that. If more people would support him like they did Jordan we could see something real special. Jordan had people from every walk of life supporting him. Hopefully people will warm up to James and stop hating a guy who just wants to be the best.

Team Canada Supreme In Hockey With Another Gold Medal Win

No matter what anyone tells you Team Canada is the best in the world. They have proved it without a doubt in the last two Olympic Winter Games. Canada beat Sweden by a score of 3-0 to take the gold medal. Many teams felt they had closed the gap on Team Canada, but that was not the case at all.



 Give Team Canada credit as they had a bullseye on their chest, but rose above it to bring home another gold medal. Other teams thought they had a chance, but when it was said and done it was Team Canada's defense in the end the difference.

Finland Dominate TEAM USA To Grab Bronze In Hockey

Team USA Hockey laid down again when they had a chance to at least medal. Finland dominated Team USA on way to an easy 5-0 victory and the Bronze medal. Team USA hockey needs to rethink how they do things or they will find the same results. I don't know if it's the coaching or the players we choose, but changes must be made before the next Olympics.



We as fans expect more from Team USA Hockey then an exit without any medals. I think after losing to Canada Team USA just did not care. You cannot play like that. You must have pride in yourself and come out and play well. Team USA wanted to get revenge against Canada from the last Olympics, but now they have to be sitting wondering what went so wrong for them.

Kevin Durant Or Lebron James Who Is Frontrunner For NBA MVP

The NBA MVP race in my opinion is a dead heat. Many people have Kevin Durant ahead of Lebron James, but just as many have King James in the lead. Both players are having great seasons, but I think it could come down to how they both perform down the stretch. Most voters always look at how you finish not how you start. Another thing that must be considered is Kevin Durant has not one MVP yet either. Many times voters give a guy who has not won one the benefit of the doubt.



No matter who wins this battle the real winner our the fans. They get to watch to of the best basketball players on the planet. In the end I see Lebron James winning again. If Russell Westbrook did not come back Durant probably would will as he would need to do more for his team. No matter who wins this is a race that should be good.
