TSC Top 25: Did I Miss Something?

There were no shocking upsets or losses tagged to top five teams … finally! College football managed to maintain the status quo for one week, at least as far as this season has gone, it was ridiculously tame.
A number of top 25 teams were beaten but mostly by ranked opponents. Virginia Tech to unbeaten BC, [...]

Humming the Wrong Tune in Toronto

It was two years before the Toronto Maple Leafs won their last Stanley cup when the Mamas and the Papas released their hit song California Dreamin’ in 1965. Little did they know, that song would be about those Leafs for the next forty years.
The first lyric in the song relates to the fall in Toronto, [...]

Best of the Best: Part VI – Top Young Quarterbacks

Those of you who watched ESPN’s Monday Night Football broadcast last week (Colts-Jags) are certainly sick of hearing about Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Even Tony Kornheiser fans like myself were disgusted with how much he talked about the topic Monday night. Was that all he prepared? Without a doubt it was his low point [...]

Best of the Best: Part V – Sports, Where Would We Be Without You?

I signed on to this website today to begin my usual rant on what’s wrong in the world of sports when I watched the video Hosea posted yesterday.
Then it occurred to me. Could you imagine a world without sports?
It seems trivial and silly, but honestly, could you imagine a world without sports? God [...]

The Vigneault of Old

Alain Vigneault ripped into four of his top players yesterday, telling the wonder twins that they need to produce more offensively, and defencemen Willie Mitchell and Kevin Bieksa need to tighten it up at the back end.
This was all over Sportsnet last night and the headlines in the Sun and the Province this morning, [...]

Greatest Sports Moments of All Time

Brought to you by ESPN, this is one of my favourite clips as it compiles some of sport’s greatest moments.
There are sections with greatest calls from broadcastors, to flashes of greatest coaches, to greatest sports pictures, it’s a complete collection. It also plays to the tune of Dream On by Aerosmith.
It’s a must watch for [...]

What’s Wrong With New York?

If Vancouver fans think their team is not playing to par, just take a look at the New York Rangers.
This is a team that The Sports Corner chose to reach the Stanley Cup finals prior to the season and our pick was pretty justified. How so? During the offseason, the Rags made a major splash [...]

Youngsters Impress in NHL; Hockey Canada Work Cut Out

Looking at the calender today, one couldn’t help but notice that Christmas is less than two months away, despite what the malls may have you thinking in a few days.
When observing that Christmas was gaining on us rapidly, one couldn’t also help but notice that the 2008 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championships are also less [...]

BoSox Take World Series

It’s safe to say that the “Curse of the Bambino” has been officially lifted and we are never going to hear of it again.
That’s because on Sunday night, the Boston Red Sox won their second World Series in the last five years, defeating the Colorado Rockies 4-3 and sweeping the championship, four games to none.
Give [...]

Thoughts of the Day

Yesterday was the first day in the existence of TSC that we went post-less. We apologize, but we were busy – mostly covering our school’s soccer provincials, where they took home the bronze medal. We even got to see a small donnybrook, nice to see in a soccer game.
Here are some thoughts from the past [...]

Confidence is Key

Watching Ryan Kesler play right now against Washington and the past few games after his two goal “outbreak” against Columbus, there’s something about his game that we haven’t seen until now.
Sure, he’s always been a good forechecker, kills penalties and drops the gloves once in a while, but he wasn’t drafted for that, he was [...]

Shot In The Arm

I am sure that everyone who visits this website to read our blogs on the Canucks is getting sick of me ripping into the team for its subpar performance so far this season.
Well, this blog will spare you the torture of me telling it like it is based upon terrible effort and an inexcusable lack [...]

Top 10 Hockey Clichés

Ever flipped on the television to look for the hockey highlights and watched a post-game interview or an interview before a big game?
If you have, you’ve probably noticed one annoying constant in about 98% of the interviews that hockey players take part in.
Clichés. Oh those annoying little sound-bits that are so plain and boring, [...]

It’s here. The baseball world has been waiting for this all season long. It’s World Series time.
Colorado has been perfect so far this offseason, whereas Boston is on a role after coming back from a 3-1 series deficit. Which team will prevail as baseball’s champion?
We at TSC are going to provide our readers with [...]
