Hockey, Baseball and MMA

By Ethan Rabidoux

Forgive my recent hiatus over the last two weeks. I spent one week in Cuba and then the following week catching up at work.

Right off the bat, I wish to share something about Mixed Martial Arts. My girlfriend’s brother brought a kick-ass website to my attention. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of it before.

You can stream UFC fights live from here:

They’re pretty good at getting the fights up almost instantly. Anyways, I thought I would share.

The Toronto Blue Jays got off to a decent start. They won their series against the Minnesota Twins.

I still think the Jays are at least two seasons away from even a Wild Card finish.

Toronto doesn’t have the power it had last year but it doesn’t need as much power as last year. The teams still needs pitching.

Guys like Brandon Morrow are future 20-game-winners but not for a few more seasons.

That’s the crux of the issue. Most of what’s needed for a playoff run is there but it needs a few more years to mature.

I think Jays fans are in for a good solid year of baseball but still no playoffs just yet.

As for hockey,

Montreal will move on to the playoffs, Toronto will not. All is right in the universe.

And Carey Price was votes MVP by the fans as he deserves to be. Too many of my Leaf friends were giddy at the start of this season with predictions of Montreal’s demise due to an incompetent goaltender.

Enjoy eating crow my Hogtown homies! See you next season.
