The World of Sports through the eyes of a moron

Kitzy was just telling me we should rant and rave about things we are interested in, i think that's a good idea, i like sports, so i'm going to talk shit about sports, he likes politics and tv, so he can do that. So here's a few thoughts on the world of sports today.

Hockey:
The Habs are the best team in the NHL by far, no one else comes close so they shoudln't try. Oh and the Leafs suck. No but in all seriousness i went to the habs vs. leafs game Saturday night. My pops got me and my bro seats, and they were incredible. Fourteen rows up in the golds, on the blueline opposite the players benches. Habs won 6-1, a few things i noticed, first off the powerplay still looks pretty lethal, adding Tanguay and Lang seems to be paying off so far, they're my favorite team so i'm biased, but man can they really move the puck around especially when you give them space. The Kostitsyn's look great so far. As for the Leafs, well i don't think they'll be as bad as everyone thinks, but i still think ther'es no way they're making the playoffs. As long as management doesn't get antsy and blow the rebuilding plan by trading away good prospects and draft picks for past their prime vets, then they should be alright. Hollweg is a douchebag and a perfect replacement for Tucker for all those frustrating Leaf fans like Ghaeli. Schenn is a franchise defenceman.

Baseball:
Haven't watched a ton, don't care that much seeing as how the Jays aren't in the playoffs, but i'm rooting for a Phillies vs. Rays world series, obviously alot more boring than the potential Red Sox vs. Dodgers and the whole Manny Ramirez debaucle, but i can't stand the Red Sox and for the most part any Boston sports team so i don't want them to even get the chance at another World Series. Plus Manny Ramirez seems to be the definition of everything that's wrong with sports.

Football:
I love the NFL, if there's a better run sports league in the world then show it to me. Can't wait to go see Bills vs. Jets in November. Bills didn't play this weekend so not much to say. My fantasy team destroyed Stu's, (Stu's team is the freebie, pretty much automatic win if you play him) and brought me back up to .500 at 3-3. Seems everybody who plays me has their best week ever, i've got more overall points than any team, yet have still lost 3 times. My bro's pretty pissed cause Romo's out for a while.

Basketball:
Went to see a Raps preseason game last week, they look good although not as deep as usual, Jermaine O'Neal looked healthy and athletic, but he and Bosh don't quite have the chemistry yet, hopefully they will.
