Canucks figured out who is their No.1 goalie but failed getting there

So the Vancouver Canucks decided to close the door on the goalie controversy by decided to trade which ever goalie they could trade out of town and that was Cory Schneider and the Canucks GM Mike Gilliso decided to keep Roberto Luongo, who asked to be traded and did not decide to pick-up the phone and calling Bobby Lou and making sure if he wanted to stay in Vancouver playing for fans who cheered him when he got injured in the past. Schneider who is young and cheaper, and maybe even better than Bobby Lou is heading to New Jersey to be the back-up to Martin Border next season and in return the Canucks got only the No. 9 draft pick which they turned into London Knight's Bo Horvat. This was very shocking as a late top 10 draft pick for a 27-year-old goalie that in a year could be the smooth transition from the Martin Border era and keep this moving in that same direction to use a low budget and be able to be a cup contender playoff after playoff behind strong D making it easier for the goalie to shine. So to say that rhe Canucks could of done better is an understatement because if they had kept that deal in their back pocket going into the first day of the draft on Sunday and when a guy like Seth Jones slips to the Lightening at third overall the Canucks should of been able to turn Schneider into Jones as the Lightening need a goalie and are uncomfortable with the goalies they have and they are a goalie away from being a cup contender and that is Cory Schneider. If they need to stick their 24Th pick to get that deal done and it would be a win-win situation for both teams and Seth Jones might of been able to be the sixth d-man for the Canucks while Bo Horvat will be playing with the knights this season and might be with the Canucks in two or third seasons down the line when the Canucks maybe in rebuilding mode. So the Canucks could of gotten more for Schneider from either the Oilers or the Flames but because they did not want to trade within the division they decided to go with the lesser dealer from the Devils. Now it will be interesting what the Devils will do now as they have options which are: 1. have Border and Schneider splitting time in the net so that Border would be more rested in the playoffs and really make a last chance dash at another sip of lord Stanley mug; 2. Schneider waits his turn and play a quarter while Border plays three-quarters of the games and it being the last season of Border in New Jersey and then he chooses to either retire or go elsewhere to finish his career; 3. Is the most interesting thing as New Jersey could turn around and get a deal from either of the Alberta teams as they could maybe get Calgary's No.6 overall draft pick Sean Monahan and either their 22Nd pick Emile Poirier or 28Th Morgan Klimchuk or even the Flames first round draft pick in 2014. Edmonton wants and need a goalie and maybe willing to trade one of their young guns or maybe the No. 7Th pick Darnell Nurse and the Oilers first pick in 2014 which would be a better deal tan what the Canucks got. The Black Hawks got more for Dave Bolland from the Leafs getting a second- and sixth- round draft picks in this draft and a fourth-rounder in 2014 and they maybe will end up with more NHL played games and Seth Jones will look good alongside Shea Weber as a predator Tom Mehegame

WWE'S PAYBACK hsd s lot of great changes and a very mysterious one

The Crowd on fire all night and they received great match off the front to match their excitement: It started with the Intercontinental title in a three way match with Champion Wade Barrett VS The Miz and Curtis Axel and was a mess of a match with Hayman keeping him out of the ring and out of the match as much as possible and the ended with Miz having Barrett in a finger four and Axel came and pinned Barrett and became champion. It was awesome with Axel who is the son of the great Intercontinental champ Curt Henning and held up the white title that was like Curt Henning and looked up at the sky thinking about his father on what was father's day and was a perfect moment. It was followed by a great diva match for the butterfly title as Kaitlyn came in with the title and thankfully she did not leave with the title as she should of bet A.J. as they speared her but did the blow off kiss instead and it cost her the match as soon after she was rolled up by A.J. to get her first butterfly title. Early on in the match the front of her T-shirt was ripped off and looked like a vest with her bra covering up her top parts and left it like this the rest of the night with fishnet shirt over top of it. So the crowd loved it and when it got to Ziggler and Del Rio for the smack down title and it was Del Rio hitting Ziggler in the head with kicks and hitting him into the Spanish announce table and it ended with Ziggler getting the zig zag but hitting his head and not able to cover Del Rio and took another kick to the head and was pinned for the title and Del Rio is the new champ. They did the concussion angle with the doctor checking on Ziggler time after time and AJ was worried about Ziggler's health and that he was unable to make it to the back on his own strength. This the mysterious change because it was not only a title change but also a heel/face flip is the first in 16 years as the last time was Wrestling mania 13 when Steve Austin and Brett Hart wrestled and Austin was turned face and Hart was turned heel. After the match Del Rio cemented his heel turn by coming out again making sure that everybody known he was the champ and was booed the whole time and it should of been obvious as Rodriguez spoke English instead of Spanish as his intro of Del Rio. SO IN THE END IT WILL LIKELY BE NEW DIVA CHAMP AND FORMER NXT CHAMP WILL DICT ZIGGLER AND STAY HEEL TOM MEHEGAN

CM Punk is still best in the world in Chicago

CM Punk was over all night and he was a great performer and he was wrestling Chris Jerico and tried s standing head scissors and ended up in a wall of Jerico and fought out of it and ended the match with double go to sleeps on Jerico and was not able celebrate with crowd as he needed to get out of the ring because they needed to get to the next match. Punk did get frustrated with Paul Hayman so it may not be long til Punk throws Hayman to the curb and become a baby face again and maybe a good baby face or more likely a bad idea because he is so much of a great bad guy that he will fail as a good guy. So it is great to have Punk along side Hayman as they are a great team and great chemistry in and outside the ring Tom Mehegan

RVD coming back to the WWE in Philly

After Randy Orton got a home field crowd in St. Louis @ Extreme Rules and he played up to the crowd and was hugely over and it was so good that at the next Pay Per View Payback in Chicago was the return of CM Punk (Chicago made punk also known as Punk City) and was a huge crowd favorite and had Match of the night with Y2J and it took 5 go to sleeps to finish off Y2J. Then during the Payback Pay Per View they announced that RVD (Rob Van Dam) would be returning in 4 weeks (July 14) @ Money In The Bank and it was a great idea for the WWE not only because it has two ladder matches and RVD is known for ladder matches but it happening in the head quarters of what used to be ECW. So RVD is not coming home but Philadelphia is a second home for him as he was a superstar in the ECW and it will be a huge crowd for him and it is the best thing for the WWE and the best spot to have him debut as it is the place were he will make most of his money. He will not be around very much and will be likely a road agent within the next year. RVD will be awesome in 4 weeks @ the Money In The Bank Tom Mehegan

Kim and Kanya West bring a baby girl into the World

Kim and Kanya West delivered a baby into the world and the baby girl that was delivered 5 weeks early and is healthy for now because we are talking about the family of Kim Kardashian and Kanya West who will their girl in front of cameras early and often in about 15 to 20 years from now a highly paid shrink will sit down and try to help the young lady what is wrong with her life. It will all start with someone paying very good money for the kids first photos and than Kim and the baby will go on the road with Kanya in October as he starts his world tour and I do not know how long these two will be able to keep it together for the kid but it will be a gong show of mass destruction. But I will admit that I thought the Miss Courtney Love would ruin her baby Francis Bean Cobain just like she helped ruin Kurt and instead she has found a good path in art and fashion and her engaged to the older Isaiah Silva who is the lead singer of the band the Rambles. She has kept her noise clean and out of trouble and staying out of the public eye and I hope that Kim and Kanya's daughter is able to find the right path to her future and not get herself in trouble. Let's hope the child will turn out health in the end Tom Mehegan

Taylor Swift puts a great performance in Toronto

So it was the 33Rd stop on the Red Tour headline by Taylor Swift and she put on a great performance @ the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and first of two shows @ the Rogers Centre before ending her weekend on Sunday @ the Much Music Video Awards (MMVA). The show was scripted from A to Z put was as smooth as a baby's butt with the custom changes were provided by videos in the first hour of Swift first talking about people try to knock her down and that they have done it yet and then a video of her past performances as a kid. Then in the last 40 minutes had a lot of changes and the distractions were her Violinist doing a performance and then the dancers had two performances and it ended with Never ever ever get back together and the fire works went off and then the house lights went on and it was over without any encores. There were no surprise as Ed Sheeran did not lose his ear piece and was able to keep on tune with the song Everything Has Changed that he does with Miss Swift. So Austin Mahone always wanted to remind himself that he was in Toronto and also that Taylor Swift was coming up later as he constantly said both over and over again. Then Ed Sheeran wanted to remind himself that he was in Canada and that was the statement he said over and over again and he tried to be fresh and new by changing up his songs and just mention that people could make up their own words and explained about his favorite instrument that he could make different sounds. Then Swift like to remind herself that there were 45,000 fans screaming her songs and she decided not to use any twitter ideas like she did at other stops on the tour. So there were no surprise i.e. special guest but with the MMVAs on Sunday she will most likely have a few special guest who will becoming in early for the show and they will different songs in front of over 40,000 fans on Saturday and it might be a better show. Taylor will be leaving Toronto with lots of Money as she will be taken in 10 million in ticket sales and awards from MMVAs and a four time platinum award for Canada but her handlers made a bad choice on how to get miss Swift out of the building as they sent her into a mob of fans and then had to rush her to a vehicle to safety while the other usual exit was clear and safe. So she will spend time shopping on Saturday Tom Mehegan

Dallas Eakins a good choice for young Oilers

Dallas Eakins has a wealth of knowledge from coaching the Toronto Marlies for four season and took the Marlies to Calder cup final after finish first in the division in the 2011-12 and then in the 2012-13 the Marlies finished first again but only made it to the second round of the Calder cup playoffs. He helped players like Nazem Kadri, James Reimer, Ben Scrivens, Ryan Hamilton, Joe Colborne, Mark Fraser, and Jake Gardiner to be able to move up to the NHL level and help the Leafs make the playoffs. So he has built up young players to get to the next level and he will be a good fit as the new head coach of the Edmonton Oilers and will have the opportunity to take players like Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Nail Yakupov, and Justin Schultz to take their games to the next level so ring that paycheck bell to have their salaries sky rocket. Then it is time to put together veteran players to go with the youth they have gotten in the draft and Dallas has been able to get more out of career AHL players and he will need to find more useful veteran players rather than the likes of Ales Hemsky, Shawn Horcoff, Ryan Jones, and Ryan Smyth who are veteran players but are not good fit as they can not get the job done. The Oilers need be better on the back end and keep that black frozen round thing out of their own net and Dallas will need to put in a defensive system that helps goalies like Devan Dubnyk or whoever they bring in to be the starter for the 2013-14 season. Dallas Eakins is getting his chance to make it in the NHL and it will be interesting to see if Eakins is able to be better than Randy Carlyle who is the head coach of the Maple Leafs a job that Dallas should of gotten. Oilers will have a top 5 pick and it will be interesting what they will do with it Tom Mehegan

mlb cracking down on PEDs and may take down big names

In a strip mall in Miami lots of baseball players have been found what they needed to be the best baseball player they could be by using PEDs (performance enhancement Drugs) and now Major League Baseball is going after them extremely hard to write the wrong that happened in the late 80's and the 90's when they buried their head in the sand. So the names are very juicy and the big bull of the investigation is the Milwaukee Brewers's Ryan Braun who they had dead to right on a PED charge and because they had something happen to the sample and he got away scot-free and they had egg all over face and since this happen they have wanted something on him. So with Biogenesis's Tony Boesch who is in huge legal problem is willing to hand over his little black book and when baseball gets that little black book in their hands and will be able to pin it on a guy like Braun as the baseball PA lost their mind as they have agreed to allow the commissioner to suspend players without positive tests. The guy looking at losing the most is free ageng with t Robertson Cano who would of been looking at 20-25 mil a season over 6 or 7 seasons at least and he is in Boesch's little black book and he fall into the fate of Melky Cabrera who was looking at big money as he was on MVP candidate but when he was suspended for the last 50 games of last season and ended up getting 16 million over two seasons with the Jays. Melky is also named in the little black book along with Bartolo Colon who got suspended near the end of last season and both maybe safe as they may have no recent purchases of PEDs and may not get their strike two which is a 100 game suspension and a step away from being banned from baseball a third strike. Also a guy like A-Rod who was on pace to break Barry Bonds's home run record and now the Yanks are looking for anyway to get away from his contract and Nelson Cruz who had great seasons with help from former friend Josh Hamilton and now maybe taken a 50 game break and if the MLB has a say it will be a strike two for the guys on the list meaning they can not mess up again or they are out of baseball. Also Nationals ace pitcher Gio Gonzalez who with a 21-9 record got some CY Young votes and lead the Nationals out of nowhere to the playoffs. In the end big names will fall but how the PA will allow the comish to rule with a iron fist with a piece of paper from a shady guy in Tony Boesch especially if money went from hand-to-hand it will not stand. Baseball has the right idea but in the end PEDs will always be a step ahead of testing so good luck Tom Mehegan
