It sure is a crazy weekend in Canadian sports!Last night, at the ACC, Wendell Clark's #17 was lifted to the rafters, the highest honour for any Leaf. Not to be outdone, the Montreal Canadiens, the last Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup, invited Patrick Roy to the Bell Centre for his jersey raising ceremony. I'm not a big hockey guy anymore, but I know enough about the sport to respect what those two guys did for the sport. Clark had his own era in Maple Leafs hockey while Patrick Roy won the most games ever for a goaltender. Congrats to both of 'em!
And did anyone notice that the music played during Wendell Clark's raising was the same as the music played after Obama's victory speech in Chicago on Election Night??
Also happening in Montreal today...the Grey Cup! Remember the days when Toronto Argos used to dominate?? Nothing seems to be going right in Toronto sports these days...not even the Argos. Not a big football fan anyway, but I do notice an increase in football's popularity with Canadians recently.
The Raptors are in the last minutes of their game against the Boston Celtics. A slaghter right from the getgo. At one point, there were down by only 4 points, but that optimism didn't last long. At last check, there were down 114-99. A record of 6-7 definitely does not do justice as to what this team is capable of.
Not much else to say other than that.
Article coming later tonight or tomorrow...stay tuned!
