Bad Day in Beantown
So this was it, Avs faithful. The day after.

He wanted Leon Draisaitl money. He wanted to be paid more than MacKinnon. If we had done that, we could kiss our depth goodbye. It sucks, but it had to be done.

Rugby special
Somebody once described 80 minutes of rugby league as the equivalent of running a half marathon while being run over by a truck 10 times.

Heading West look out for vampires in the sand hazards
Not the reason why it featured in my “six of the best” courses in West Wales but nevertheless an interesting tidbit about Ashburnham Golf Club is that two of Scotland’s finest golfing sons have pretty fond memories of the Burry Port links, having both started their professional careers with victories there… and just seven years apart.

Howard outlasts City Life
(Photo: Howard's Ty'Sean Grice prepares for a first half free throw.) We've all heard this quote in some kind of way. "It is not how you start the race or where you are during the race, it is how you cross the finish line that will matter," is attributed to Robert D. Hales, a very successful businessman and religious leader.

Big Trouble in Big D
You know, there's always something about Thanksgiving week and Dallas, and this year proves it. The Dallas Mavericks hosted a game on Thanksgiving Eve. Thanksgiving Day saw the Dallas Cowboys in action per usual, and Black Friday saw the Colorado Avalanche in Dallas against the rival Stars. This is the first meeting of the season between the two clubs, and the first meeting since last year's second round matchup, which saw the Stars victorious in six games due to the Avs being hampered by Val Nichushkin's issues again.
