Dein erstes Forum » come close to the legendary Peyton

TSN Hockey Insiders Bob McKenzie and Darren Dreger have the latest on the future homes of Jarome Iginla, Ryan Miller and Thomas Vanek as well as updates on the top potential NCAA free agent and the NHLs search for fresh officiating. Jarome Iginla has been one of the stories of this season individually. Hes been a great fit in Boston and his 28 goals leads the team. Does he end up there beyond this year and re-sign? Darren Dreger: Thats certainly the hope of the Boston Bruins and of Jarome Iginla as well. I know Peter Chiarelli, the Bruins general manager, reached out to Don Meehan from Newport Sports last week. Theres been no official back-and-forth in terms of dialogue or a negotiation and the reality is that the Bruins dont have the tag room or the cap space to close this deal in-season. But, most definitely, Chiarelli and the Bruins want to extend Iginlas stay. He loves Boston. They love him in Boston. I think a deal gets done. Pierre LeBrun: Another top-line right-winger whos slated to be a UFA come July 1 is Ales Hemsky, who came over at the trade deadline to help the Ottawa Senators. Now, he has helped them, even though the Senators have struggled. Ottawa has seen enough of Hemsky that in the very near future they are interested in reaching out to his representatives to see if hes interested in staying on and to talk about an extension. Obviously, the money has to be right for the budget-conscious Senators, but right now Bryan Murray would like to bring Hemsky back for next season. Does Ryan Miller stay in St. Louis? LeBrun: That is what Doug Armstrong and the St. Louis Blues would love to do. Theyve already reached out to Mike Liut, the agent for Ryan Miller, and told Miller: ‘Once this season is over, we want to bring you back. They are being aggressive in their overtures and telling this player that they do not want him to go to the July 1 market. They believe he is a long-term fit for their team which will contend for a number of years. Bob McKenzie: The conventional wisdom among the hockey community is that one of the reasons Miller wants to wait until free agency on July 1 is to see if theres any interest from the Anaheim Ducks. There was all sorts of speculation that the Ducks tried to make a trade with the Buffalo Sabres earlier this season for Miller, but that it fell through and they werent able to do it. Millers wife is an actress. She does all sorts of work in Hollywood and the possibility of being on a California team might be something that is really good for Ryan Miller. So, well wait and see where that goes. Its college free agent signing season. The most sought-after right now is Christian Folin, a 63”, 210-pound defenceman from Sweden who plays for the River Hawks and UMass. Who are the front-runners to get him? McKenzie: The Philadelphia Flyers, the Minnesota Wild, the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Edmonton Oilers are amongst the teams believed to have the best chance to try to get Christian Folin out of UMass Lowell. Now, I should point something out. Firstly, theyre playing in the NCAA tournament Friday night against Minnesota State. If they lose, hes got a decision to make. He has not yet fully committed to making the decision that hes coming out of college. The likelihood is that he is, but he hasnt made that decision just yet. Lots of teams are getting the sense now that theyre out of it and that those teams I just mentioned are the front-runners. The NHL is apparently seeking officials... Dreger: Theyre calling it the NHL Exposure Combine and the belief is that theyre hoping to bring in upwards of 60 high-level prospects. Theyre going to collect these, literally, from around the world, but yes, they will send invites to certain universities and NCAA colleges for those graduating hockey players who perhaps want to pursue a career as an NHL on-ice official. Theyll hold the combine in August in Buffalo. There will be considerable physical testing but its all part of trying to expand the search and every other year, theyll do an amateur version. McKenzie: I smell a reality show coming: “So You Wanna Be a Ref?” Pierre LeBrun has a quick one-timer for us on Thomas Vanek. LeBrun: Vanek is obviously loving his time in Montreal so far but I spoke with his agent Steve Bartlett earlier on Tuesday who said the plan has not deviated. They told the Sabres last summer that theyre going to July 1. They told the Islanders after he got traded that its going to July 1 and that remains the plan right now. Lets see if a little playoff magic might change his mind. Jahlil Okafor Jersey . The visitors missed a host of good chances to win the game, and were left to rue substitute Ivo Ilicevics strike against the crossbar in the 86th minute, when he only had the goalkeeper to beat. Anthony Davis Pelicans Jersey .28 mph. Logano will start on the front row next to Penske Ford teammate Brad Keselowski, who came in second Friday at 193.099.

In many ways, it seemed like hed never been gone.Carolina Panthers at Seattle Seahawks - Cam Netwon vs. Russell WilsonThe Seahawks 24-2 home record in the Wilson era doesnt exactly give the Panthers much hope of winning this playoff game, but does the always charismatic Newton have the ability to take down Wilson in our commercial battle?Netwon has surprisingly not been involved in many high-profile commercials, outside of the PLAY 60 spot where a youngster steals his spotlight, but a "peanut butter and jelly" moment with Newton in a full chef outfit for the Windows Phone might give him a fighting chance.Alaska Airlines isnt the most famous air service out there, which inspired the company to bring a known winner in to hold training camp for their employees. That known winner was Super Bowl winning quarterback and chief football officer Russell Wilson.Winner: Russell WilsonNot even Newtons big, beautiful smile could keep this match-up close, with Wilsons Alaska Airlines training camp outworking Windows new technology. The high-stepping obstacle course, lost teddy bear drills, and snack-uracy passing simply had too much comedy fire power.Dallas Cowboys at Green Bay Packers - Tony Romo vs. Aaron RodgersIn the game featuring the NFLs top two quarterbacks in passer rating this season, Romo and Rodgers will lead high powered offenses in what some people are anticipating to be the game of the weekend. But the real question here is, does Romo stand a chance against the power house Discount Double Check?Tony was featured in a Pepsi commercial back in 2008 where the gunslinger was doubled in size so we would never forget that Lemon flavoured Pepsi gives us double stuff points... whatever that means. IIts safe to say we forgot.dddddddddddd..Ah yes, the all powerful Discount Double Check State Farm commercials where Rodgers touchdown dance is stolen on multiple occasions. Lets save ourselves some time here and just hand this one over to the deserved winner.Winner: Aaron RodgersWhen Hans and Franz entered the scenario... lets just say Romo threw one of his signature late game interceptions.Indianapolis Colts at Denver Broncos - Andrew Luck vs. Peyton ManningThese two heavyweight quarterbacks rank one and two in touchdown passes this season, but where do they rank when it comes to TV commercials? Peyton Mannings history with Saturday Night Live may have him out to an early lead, but can the phenom Luck compete?If Luck is going to even come close to the legendary Peyton, having Late Show host David Letterman on his side is definitely going to help. Letterman is a huge Colts fan, so where he once backed Manning, hes now turned to the youngster Luck.Lets just be honest, Manning is the all-time king of NFL television commercials. The quarterbacks name is all over NFL passing record books, and its also all over the TV athlete commercial record books. Hes incredibly self-aware and understands the perfect way to poke fun at his serious NFL persona.Winner: Peyton ManningIf you like 65", 230 pound quarterbacks with laser-rocket arms and an undeviating ability to make the public laugh.There you have it! Place your bets on the Patriots, Seahawks, Packers and Broncos this weekend. Our in depth analysis apparently gives home field a similar advantage to being fantastic in TV commercials when it comes to the NFL playoffs. Who knew?Enjoy the games! ' ' '
