WINTER CLASSIC - LEAFS VS RED WINGS

On Wednesday January 1st, 2014, The Toronto Maple Leafs & Detroit Red Wings played their first games of the new years respectively, they both hard for the two points, and both enjoyed and had a memorable time. The leafs played a hard fought game, and won in the shootout, 3-2. Both coaches had a great time, despite the -11 degrees weather that Detroit had. Both goalies had played exceptional in the winter classic, with some key saves and key moments that made their teams at least get 1 point in their conference. Jonathan Bernier was caught for the trademark" hands in your pants" technique for keeping his hands warm during the game, with his teammates catching a laugh at the antic. A lot of players battled through the cold weather, and enjoyed the childhood memories it brought and were proud to be a part of history. Both teams were surprised at the amount of people that came out to watch this game and support their teams. The amount of people at the "big house" was record breaking and put a icing on the cake to a great winter classic.

Hunger Games Movie

Hunger games franchise has been very successful in the box office. the first installment, which was called Hunger Games, had grabbed a huge audience. people who weren't a fan before, are definitely a fan now. i strongly suggest watching this movie because i have never read watched or known about this series until this movie came out not too long ago. the promotions they did for the movie was very well done as well, which made me very interested in the movie as well. in my opinion, i feel like this movie it is about kids trying to kill each other. the story-line of the movie is interesting, i didn't seem bored or confused about anything in the movie, and my eyes were glued to the screen because there was always something going on. There was a lot of parts were i was upset with something that had happened. these events were when the old lady had to die, she was such a nice lady, and i wish she didn't have to die in the movie. i was FURIOUS with how the movie ended, leaving it on a cliffhanger. Since this franchise is a trilogy , i had to expect to a open ending, but i wish it didn't end where it did end. in conclusion, this is a very good movie, and i look forward to watching it, and im not even a fan.

Dwayne Casey is December's Coach Of The Month?

You would think with the trade of the raptors superstar it would hinder a already unsuccessful raptors team , but as of lately the raptors have picked up 5 wins in a row, and Dwayne Casey, as well as the raptors, are getting a lot more respect within the league. Dwayne Casey led the raptors to an 8-6 (571%) record including road wins over the Dallas mavericks and the Oklahoma city thunder. the six road wins Toronto posted for best in the conference in December. the raptors had 5 players account for double-digit scoring averaging on the month, and closed December winning seven of their final nine games.  Dwayne Wade, who never plays back-to-back games, suited up for tonight's match against the raptors, knowing it would be a good fight. The raptors were leading the eastern conference leaders until the 4th quarter, but had lost the lead late with the final score being 102-97.
