Christmas day football, Devils fire their coach, and thoughts about Christmas

Dallas Cowboys Vs Arizona Cardinals

I guess the NFL was banking on the Cowboys to be leading the NFC East or just fighting for a playoff positon and before the season started the Cowboys were one of the favourites to be challenge for a superbowl appearance @ home in brand new Cowboys Stadium. The Cardinals have been what is to be expected from them which was that they had nobody to throw the ball to Larry Fitzgerald and the first contestant matt leinart got cut before the regular season started and went with Derek Anderson who still not get the ball to Fitzgerald. So all those retired oil moguls that are in Arizona and fill the seats every year when the Cowboys come to town will be happy because the Cowboys under Chan Gaily will take the Cardinals to the woodshad and the game will be down by half-time.

The Devils fired John Maclean two days before Christmas and this is the same person Lou Lamoriello who fired the head coach in the past 3 games before the end of the regular season when they were one of the top teams going into the playoff so this behaviour not surprising to me. Also the battle with the NHL this past summer over the Ilya Kovalchuk contract that handcuffed the Devils so much that they played one of their first games this season with 15 skaters and have put the team in last place in the Eastern Conference after the team they were tied with the New York Islanders took them out back and messed them up really good with a 5-1 win.
I do not think they will make the playoffs but probally be a bit better with their new head coach Jacques Lemaire but in the end if you are the Devils being one of the worst teams in the NHL and get a high draft pick would not be a bad thing.

Christmas is about being thankful for the people around you and not the gifts you get and to spend some quality time with the ones you love is the best gift that anyone can have during the holiday season because there will always be someone that is struggling more than you and have way less than you but are still happy. If you do like to shop you can join the big mob at the local mall the day after Christmas and try to find those great deals and if you do please be very careful because the holiday spirit in most is finished after Christmas day and are out only for themselves again so someone may get hurt out there.

Merry Merry Merry Holidays no matter what u celbrate
