Penguins honour Canada with natinol anthem

The Pittsburgh Penguins played O Canada at the Penguins and flyers game Wednesday night honoring the soldier killed in the Ottawa Shooting attack. Singing the anthem at the game dose not usually happen but they wanted to pay there tributes to Canada after a bad thing happened and a soldier took a bullet for no good reason. After the Ottawa and Toronto game got postponed there needed to be a Canadian Anthem sung somewhere.

Singing O Canada was a sell out crowed sang loud and proud to pay tribute. As they sang the anthem the Canadian flag was on the score bored and projected onto the ice. The two teams pray for all Canadians and hope the best for them all. also pray for the families of the people who are wounded.

also at the Edmonton oilers game Wednesday night they also they also sang O Canada to honor those who are suffering in the terrible attack in Canada.

Cowboys RB Randle arrested for shoplifting

the Texas Cowboys running back Joseph Randle was arrested for being accused of stealing $123.50 from a suburban Dallas department store. Randle said to the security guard after the arrest "Alright you got me" Sounding like someone has finally caught him stealing and that he has been stealing from department stores for awhile. The Cowboys running back is currently on a $2.3 million rookie contract and a salary base of $495,000 for this season. Randle had 164 yards rushing and two touchdowns as a rookie last year.

I personally don't think professional athletes should not be stealing from stores when they are making millions of dollars a year they can afford to take care of them self and do good to themselves or family that they do not have to steal $123.50 in underwear. I think other people will think differently of him now specially if he now is getting $2.3 million. The security did a good job arresting Randle in the parking lot of the department store and getting him charged with theft of $50-$500. Randle will have a court date soon  to be determined

Sharks Crashing kings Home Opener Celebration

2013-2014 champions Los Angeles Kings held their home opener last night against the San Jose Sharks, The home opener started with naming and introducing the players as they skate on the ice following that they raised the Stanley Cup championship banner from their win last year. After the kings were all pumped up and ready to play hockey they started off with a bad first period ending the first 1-0 for the San Jose Sharks with a goal from Tommy Wingles.

Starting the 2nd down 1-0 they know they needed to get another goal to tie it up so the sharks did not have the lead over the kings, San Jose was ready for another period of action scoring 3 goals in the 2nd period making the score now 4-0 after 2 periods of action.

3rd period the kings just did not have the momentum to push and get 4 goals they needed to tie the game and let it go to OT. The sharks won the first game of the season 4-0 win over the Kings. I personally did not see this coming, I thought that the Kings were going to have another strong year like last year. The kings had the advantage over San Jose I personally thought they would be the better team and I thought the score would be the other way around. Los Angeles Kings fans left the Staples Center with disbelief as there team lose the home opener 4-0 against the San Jose sharks.

Indianapolis Colts Player Landry Suspended 4 Unpaid Games


Indianapolis Colts Player LaRon Landry is suspended four unpaid games for violating the NFL  performance-enhancing substance policy. The colts are now four games into the season (2,2) and Landry has had 18 tackles in the four games they have played. Landry will not be returning to the team until Oct 26th game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
 
We see a lot of athletes from different leagues doing stuff like this and violating the performance-Enhancing substance policy to try to make them self's look like they are the best, We mostly see this in football the most because then they can go out on the field and make bigger stronger tackles and they look like a big guy that can make good plays and help the team out.
 
I personally think that athletes should not be taking performance enhancing drugs because it is not right to have drugs in your system then go out and play a game in front of all your fans and roll models that really look up to you as their hero and they are out on the field playing a game of football breaking the performance-enhancing substance policy. I do think it is good that the NFL and all the leagues do put this policy in effect because they should not be going and playing on drugs that give that certain player on drugs an advantage over other player and team.

Jordan Subban's First NHL Goal Leads To Racism

Jordan Subban scored his first NHL goal in an exhibition game against san José. Jordan just started playing with the Vancouver Canucks when he got his first goal. A photographer captured a picture of him and his team mates celebrating this big moment in his life when the photographer put in the paper the picture and a caption talking about the picture and in bracket "(The black guy in the middle)"   

I think a lot of people are thinking that hockey always use to be a Canadian sport and that now bringing Jordan Subban and P.K Subban into the NHL. I personally don't think that bringing a guy who is good at hockey into the NHL should not matter what color they are as long as they are good they should be able to be in the NHL playing with other people we are all humans. Jordan is a good hockey player so he deserves to be playing with Vancouver because they need him on the team if they are wanting to go to the playoffs. Jordan can probably play better hockey then some of the other people that play for Vancouver.

Montreal Canadians Not Naming A Captin For 14-15 Season

The Montreal Canadian are getting ready for a big season ahead of them. P.K Subban, Tomas Plekance, Andrei Markov, Max Pacioretty were all waiting to hear who would be wearing the "A" this year in the upcoming season. Monday coach Marc Bergevin told the four of them there will be no captain and no one will wear the "C" all of them will just be wearing the "A" on there jersey. Markov and Plekanec are to have it every game and Subban and Pacioretty will be switching every other game wearing it. The coach wants to see Subban and Pacioretty who can take on the best leadership role and put the two young stars to the test. Coach says if goalies were allowed to wear a letters on there jerseys that Carry Price would be wearing one too. Bergevin says that Price will be sitting in on all the assistant captain meetings to learn and give his input.

I think this is a good idea because it lets Bergevin a chance to see who can make the team the best they physically can be and who can take on the most leadership role and can dedicate to the team work. The 4 assistance will be put to the test and next year if one shows a really good attitude toward them team and really outs in time and effort I think that one of the four will wear the "C" in the 2015-2016 NHL Season. I personally think the Montreal Canadians are going to be a hard to beat team this year. they got the men and the power to hopfully make it to the Stanly Cup Game.

Ravens React To Shocking Video By Cutting Running Back Ray Rice

A shocking video of Ray Rice hitting his wife Janay on February 15th Ray dragged his wife into the hotel elevator and hitting her in the chin. People believe the video was sent into the NFL and they just ignored it seeing if they could keep one of the best NFL players still playing. Video was released earlier this week showing Ray Rice and his wife get into the elevator after fighting and Ray Rice punching her in the jaw more then once. Ray Rice was arrested and people are not questioning the NFL to if they really ignored the video so they did not have to deal with Ray and keep him in the upcoming season as long as they can. Ray dragged his wife out of the elevator unconscious and people that were on that floor started to yell " Let her go" And ray tried to convince them that she was just drunk and that he was getting her back to the hotel room in the casino they were at.

I think that this was not right of Ray Rice and for him and the NFL both to think that they ould get away with the video of him doing this crime might have just costed Ray Rice his fans, and a good chunk of his career. I think that Ray has a lot more explaining to do and that he should be suspended from the NFL because he is supposed to be someone that people look up to and are inspired by.
