Rex Hadnot Moved to Right Guard

According to the Sun-Sentinel, Center Rex Hadnot is moving to Right Guard to join the group of left tackle Vernon Carey, left guard Chris Liwienski, right tackle L.J. Shelton and either Johnathan Ingram or rookie Samson Satele at center. Most likely, I would bet anything that Satele will beat Ingram out.

They drafted Satele in the 2nd round, and if you use a pick that high on a lineman you want him to be starting right away. Plus he's mean and he has attitude. Cameron also said, "Rex Hadnot can be as good a guard as I've been around, and that's a big plus for us," Cameron said. "If that light comes on there, look out, because we'll have us a heck of a player at right guard."

This is great news indeed. Cameron, who saw the brilliants of San Diego's offensive line and drafted key players such as McNeil, knows what it takes to be a good guard. Not to mention Hudson Hawk is the best there is, was and ever will be!!! =D

Point is, these guys know what they are doing. And having Rex at Guard (where he played for 3 years in college) and Satale at center they should really be able to open up some holes for Brown and Booker.

Now with Ginn taking returns, and Beck waiting in the wings, things are really looking up for the Miami Dolphins.

Until next time,

So it Will Be the Ducks And the Senators! Bring on Lord Stanley

So there we have it! After the Anaheim Ducks defeated the Detroit Red Wings today, there was only two remaining. The Ducks dance with the Senators with Anaheim having home ice advantage.

This should be a great series. I FULLY admit I didn't think Ottawa had it in them. I really didn't.... I thought they would have been gone ages ago and they just keep proving everyone wrong and this indeed could be this year.

Fortune hasn't been good to Canada in the Stanley Cup finals. The last two finals had Calgary and Edmonton which both lost in their game 7's respectively. They say the third time is a charm and perhaps Ottawa is going to break that. The big difference is Edmonton and Calgary play in the Western Conference and Ottawa in the East. The East has been winning their fair share of cups in recent years, so it would be very fitting to see the Senators bring it home!

I am a huge Leaf's fan and I've never cheered for Ottawa or Montreal EVER in my life but at the same time I'd love to see Lord Stanley back where she belongs. So count me on the bandwagon. Make fun! Tease! Tell me Im stupid for jumping ship and bashing the Senators! It is all well deserved... Still, what can you do, I am Canadian more than anything at heart!

Bring it home Senators... bring it home!

Ducks Edge Wings in OT, Go Up 3-2 in Series

The Anaheim Ducks are now one game away to face the Ottawa Senators for the Stanley Cup! The Ducks battled back against the Red Wings, down 1-0 for 59 full minutes. Detroit simply couldn't get the job done.

The Ducks scored with under a minute and Selanne scored the OT winner on a dead giveaway by Detroit Defenseman Andreas Lilja. Lilja snapped his stick completely in two after Selanne scored, which I am sure resembled the frustration the Red Wings shared.

Detroit dominated this game, outshooting the Ducks 34-18. Gigere was his brilliant self, and Anaheim seems destined to go all the way. Detroit really has dominated the past 3 games, but not much to show for it. Now they have to head back to California to play the Ducks at home.

Statistically speaking, when a series is tied 2-2, the winner of game 5 goes on to win the series 80% of the time.

I think a Ducks/Senators matchup for the finals would be a great one! Neither team has ever won a cup, so this would be pretty fitting. I personally cannot wait to see how this turns out.

Until next time,
