un, deux, trois, quatre Lupul becomes the first player in NHL playoff history to cap a four-goal game with an overtime score. Rookie goalie sensation Bryzgalov also made history by posting the second longest shutout streak in NHL playoff history at 249 minutes and 15 seconds.

Tottenham Not So Hotspur Health officials in England are investigating the sudden food-related illness of 10 Spurs players at a hotel right before their match Sunday, which they lost 2-1 (along with their fourth place Champions League spot).

Chelsea champs. And Birmingham and West Brom, two Midland teams, are relegated along with poor, poor Sunderland. And this with most teams still left with two games to play. While the season is "done" for teams at both ends of the table, the possibility of my team Liverpool taking 2nd place from Man U still remains. They're tied on points with the Mancs after today's 3-1 vanquishing of Villa (not a good day for another Midlands team) and the Mancs' 0-3 title-deciding loss to Chelsea.

Pesky Priest... he ruined Brazil's Vanderlei De Lima's Olympic marathon bid in 2004 by pushing him off the road while he was leading the race; he nearly got himself killed at the 2003 British Grand Prix by trying to do the same to an F1 car; and now, Father Cornelius Horan wants to protest at this year's London Marathon. He wrote to the race director asking for permission to "dance" at the event, was unsurprisingly turned down, and is now planning to stage a protest on Tower Bridge during Sunday's race.

Crosby becomes the youngest player to record 100 points and becomes just the seventh rookie to reach that mark, behind Ovechkin just last week. Yet, Ovechkin remains the runaway Calder favourite -- should Crosby be re-evaluated? Should the age difference be a factor? Or is Phaneuf overlooked because of his position? Whatever the debate, there's no arguing that this was the NHL's best ever rookie crop.

Sunderland relegated after "best result of the season." EPL bottom team Sunderland held 2nd-placed Manchester United to a 0-0 draw at Old Trafford today, dealing a terrible blow to Man U's chances of catching leaders and defending champs Chelsea. Be that as it may, the result was worse for Sunderland. The Black Cats were relegated, trailing 16 points behind second-last West Bromwich Albion with five matches (and 15 maximum points) to go.

Canucks lose again, miss playoffs In two magical back-to-back nights, Joe Thornton took a share of the NHL scoring lead, just about singlehandedly set the Western Conference's playoff field and ended the Vancouver Canucks' post-season hopes.

Cupless in Toronto Thirty-nine years after they won their 13th Stanley Cup, the Toronto Maple Leafs remain a storied NHL franchise -- but it's a horror story, according to SportsFilter columnist Weedy McSmokey. "True suffering is the path to enlightenment," he writes. "While that's great and everything, I'd prefer a Cup while I can still party and have a functioning prostate."

How about a little bit of downhill skating combined with snowboard cross and bodychecking? A sport that Dr Frankenstein would enjoy watching with the Hanson brothers - Crashed Ice. It is in Quebec City's old town this weekend.

Remind me not to go hunting with Dick Cheney. USA VP shoots 78-year-old Texas lawyer with shotgun while hunting quail. So many jokes in there I don't know where to start. (The lawyer is doing fine.)

Wake me for the final: Olympic women's hockey? "Three medals, two teams. ... This is not competitive imbalance. This is farce."

Gene Doping in Turin. Sports scientists have long seen it coming, but now it seems that the next level of performance enhancement is already here. And it's almost undetectable. A court case in Germany may just be the tip of the iceberg.

That is really bad sportsmanship. I really hope that san jose looses because of that. They should be really ashamed of themselves. GO OILERS SHARKS ARE CRAP
