Best Hockey Shootout Moves


Every time I watch this I am still amazed by how good Pavel Datsyuk and Linus Omark's shootout goals were. Omark lightly flipping the puck over the Swiss goaltender....Unbelievable....Then Datsyuk paying homage to it by beating the Chicago Blackhawks net-minder.

Those are some of my favorite shootout goals, well the one-handed shots, the Datsyuk and Omark moves...Not to mention Mike Ribeiro and his #1 goal.

I think one of my all time favorite goals (not a shootout goal) has to go to Steven Stamkos.


I doubt anyone will ever see a goal that great. The hand-eye coordination must be off the charts for Stamkos.

He hits a puck and it goes right over Jonas Hiller's glove side.

Last Out of Every World Series since 1989




I know this video doesn't have the 1995 Atlanta Braves or the 2005 Chicago White Sox, I find it is quite unique how they have the past 25 World Series last pitches here.

Some of these are unforgettable words, such as when the Red Sox won in 2004 and in 2013.

If you want to see the White Sox win (and their last out) click here (may have to scroll to around 2:34:45)
For the 1995 Braves (their last out scroll to about 2:11:41) winning the World Series click here

Sunderland, VT- At 8:35PM on Monday night, the Vermont State Police activated an AMBER Alert for juvenile Zachary Lee, age 12 of Sunderland, VT.

A few of the best links for NHL hockey and MLB baseball fans


Gotta love some nice goals here. Not surprised that Pavel Datsyuk is the number one on this list. He has had some ridiculous dekes before.

Next up is some nice baseball plays.
I think that Juan Lagares (1st clip, center fielder for the Mets) should have been much higher up on this list. He made a juggling shoestring catch. That ball was basically on the ground when he caught it. I also think the Yankees triple play though was the best or one of them, because it does not happen often.

Finally some nice goal tending here. I think that being a goalie has to be one of the hardest positions in all of sports. It takes athleticism to a whole new level. Anyways, cannot go wrong with having some of the best saves here. Kari Lehtonen had one of the best saves on this list with his pad up in the air. Also, props to Mike Smith for his goal while being a net minder.

Critique a Blog

Today I am critiquing a blog based on a few things such as: something I liked and did not like, how often it is updated, the comments (to tell how many people interact with the blog), and finally what other media is used.

Well I will be reviewing and critiquing http://thehockeywriters.com/

I really enjoyed the articles that are on here. It is constantly updated as new information is discovered in all categories of the NHL. It basically is a collection of all of the things happening in the NHL. The logo stands out and it makes it quite unique as it is a shield and two hockey sticks in the background with the initials of the blog.

One of the things I was not really a fan of was the fact that there are a lot of advertisements on the website, but not enough to discourage the reader from viewing the site.

There are also plenty of comments on each page and it is quite unique to see what they have to say as some of the articles written are opinion pieces, to see the many different views that people have on a certain topic is quite interesting to say the least.

The media that they use mainly is Facebook, twitter, google plus and also tumblr.

All in all this is an excellent blog and I highly recommend it for any fan of hockey.

Background Changes and More

I had to change the background to something much more different than just a color scheme. It just seemed a little to boring. So I found a picture of a baseball laying in the grass. It resembles the fact that I am very passionate about sports. I also adjusted the colors of the words in the text and the title. I figured it would be easier to see over the green background. I figured I would make my blog about sports, as I am a huge sports fan. I will also write about various other topics!!
