Some random thoughts

Some random thoughts:

NHL - What in the world was Eric Staal thinking when he took goalie Cam Ward with the first pick of the NHL fantasy all-star draft? Maybe he forgot he could choose someone not on his Carolina Hurricanes team - such as Alexander Ovechkin or Steve Stamkos. I highly doubt Ward was going to go in the first five rounds. Cole missed a great opportunity to build up another portion of his team with this wasted draft pick.

I will give Cole credit for also drafting Jeff Skinner, the 18 year old Hurricane player. Team Staal will have the home crowd behind them.

NHL - What was up with Chicago Blackhawks star Jonathan Toews? He looked annoyed for not being picked earlier in the draft. Seriously, there were some other good players Mr. Stanley Cup winner.

NHL - I don't know who to cheer for in Sunday's game. Danny Briere is on Team Lidstrom and Claude Girioux is on Team Staal. I think I'll go with Briere's team as they also have coach Peter Laviolette.

NFL - Are these guys ever going to get in a room to start working on a deal that will prevent a lockout. I know one way to not get a deal done - avoid each other. That is exactly what thw owner and player representatives are doing. Grow up and figure this thing out. A meeting might be a good idea.

MLB - Only a few more weeks until pitchers and catchers report. Halladay, Lee, Oswalt, Hamels...Halladay, Lee, Oswalt, Hames...I can't wait!

NBA - Who cares?
