Rick Nash. Goal of the year. Sorry Toews. You've now got the second best.

Trinity University Beats Millsaps College with Final 14-Lateral Pass The lateral-tastic maneuver was straight out of the Cal playbook. However, Trinity missed the part where you clobber a trombone player.

Texas 30 - Baltimore 3 ... wasn't an NFL preseason matchup but the rather the Rangers posting the highest major league run total in 110 years. I guess there is no mercy rule in the MLB.

Eric Staal's bachelor party nets fourteen arrests. Sure, it ain't no refs on the take from the mafia, marquee quarterback in dog fighting imbroglio, or steroid (?) icon taking over one of the marquee records in the game, but, man, the NHL is MESSED UP.

The Goalies Archive claims to be "the very first website to present every goaltenders [sic] who played in NHL history." A great first stop should you ever wanted to know who the number one keeper for the Detroit Cougars was between 1926 to 1928.

Blackhawks to play in the Friendly Confines? The Chicago Blackhawks are gunning for an outdoor game and it looks as if they want to play it at Wrigley Field. [via]

I know any list on the internet gets nitpicked to death, but he could have easily made that the 30 worst dunks ever by mentioning Chris Andersen. Birdman's gotta fly.

All the goals from the world's major footie leagues, as YouTube-like Flash video highlights. The interface is in Spanish, but navigation is straightforward. Premiership, La Liga, Calcio, Bundesliga and much, much more. Eat my goal!

I simply must have an rss feed for the page of links.
Well, at least for the next few days or hours that this lasts.

The Unsung Career of Larry Kwong: In the wake of the celebrations for Willie O'Ree and Herb Carnegie, the Globe & Mail profiles another groundbreaking player who's received rather less fanfare: "Unlike a scoring record, his legacy as the first NHL player of Asian ancestry can never be broken, bettered or taken away. It can only be ignored."

chico, c'mon now, Paul Kariya. And his brother whose name I can't recall.
I saw Richard Park playing in the UK in 2002. I think he was with Nottingham.

Wait, Jim Paek is the one I am thinking of. He'd won a cup in Pittsburgh. And then he played in the UK.

Legendary Canadian sportscaster Don Wittman dies. A sports broadcasting renaissance man that covered any and every sport around, from NHL hockey on HNIC and international hockey to the Grey Cup to curling, but he will forever be known as the voice of Canadian olympic track gold.
posted to Culture at 5:33 PM CDT
I caught HNIC's Wittman retrospective a few weeks back and hadn't looked into it. They were toasting his retirement, I thought they were mourning his loss. But I guess the terminal cancer that caused him to retire has claimed him today. Sad. His voice is one of the voices from my generation of Canadian sportswatching. The Olympics and the Grey Cup won't quite be the same.

Giants down Cowboys 21-17: in the day's second upset, the fifth-seeded Giants defeated the top-seed Cowboys in Dallas.

The ESPN recap included the passage:
Terrell Owens came to his quarterback's defense, even crying behind dark sunglasses with a quivering bottom lip while declaring, "You can point the finger at him, you can talk about the vacation (with Simpson), and if you do that, it's really unfair. That's my teammate. ... We lost as a team."

Steve Nash Wants to Buy Spurs No, not those Spurs -- Tottenham Hotspur in the Premiership. "I'd like to be an owner," he told the New York Times. "It's something I could do for the rest of my life after my little window of popularity dies." Nash, who played soccer in Canada as a youth and has a brother with Football Association experience, is a lifelong fan of the team like his London-born father.

Also, Steve Nash profile that was in the NYT the other day.

Top 50 Sporting Injuries - a list from the Times.
posted to General at 4:13 AM CDT
I think the only explanation to put Beckham at #1 is to allow their readers (the target audience of the paper, not the internet) to actually get to the end of the list and have a specific memory of the "injury" in question rather than read about something they've probably never heard of (Malarchuk). But Malarchuk was the first thing that came to my mind so good thing he was on there.

Tartan Army takes the high road Beating Ukraine 3-1 at Hampden to continue their unexpected Euro qualifiers group-topping run was probably more than enough to make Scotland supporters feel good about themselves. But they've gone a bit better; their half-time rendition of Loch Lomond [Amateur video] will be made into a single with uber-folksters Runrig, proceeds to charity Children in Need.

I guess the amateur video wasn't posted by a native. Lock Lomond? huh?

What's he doing having the surgery in Vancouver? I would think that with the money he and the Blazers have that he'd have access to the best care the U S of A has to offer rather than having to go to Canada and their socialized medicine (though likely it was a private clinic of some sort, no queues jumped).

I was aware of there being two Vancouvers but I guess I assumed that they would specify the smaller one if it wasn't the obvious one.

Opening the doors to the Canadian Open Canadian Open director Bill Paul is grousing about the poor field, but Tour players want him to show them both the love and the money. A sportsfilter column by wfrazerjr.
posted to Golf at 2:47 PM CDT
A big sponsor has to look at the field "four of the top 20 on the money list, and 10 of the top 50" and wonder if it is worth the commitment.
A bit sad, seeing it is the oldest event on the tour that isn't the US or British Open (second oldest if you want to say that the BMW Championship is still the Western Open).
There always seems to be some Canadian golf press musing/grousing (ok, Lorne Rubenstein) when the schedule is released noting how the event is either too late in the season or plunked in an inconvenient spot - ie right after the British Open).

Boy meets girl buys hockey team. Boy moves aggressively to move team to southern Ontario, because attempts to move politely didn't work out. Boy puts together multiple fallback plans, buying a mysterious plot of land in Cambridge and making deals with Hamilton. Boy seems willing to take NHL to court if his plans are blocked. Boy pisses off some of the NHL board of governors by doing so, but must be liked by others for raising their teams' market values by hugely overpaying for his team. The NHL doesn't want another team in southern Ontario, yet Boy received 7,200 season ticket deposits on first day of sales with no advance notice. So how the heck does this story end?

Balsillie is obviously going about this all wrong.
Run the Preds into the ground and have the league gift him a better franchise.
Worked with the Expos and Loria.

Too bad for all you Coyotes and Panthers fans.
Well.... Kings vs Rangers, outdoors, Las Vegas, 1991
I wonder how many people you could pack around Lac aux Castors? Nice slope on the east side.
