June 17, 2008This year’s European soccer championship, Euro2008, co-hosted in Switzerland and Austria, is looking like it could be one of the best ever, as attacking-oriented sides from Holland, Spain, Portugal and Croatia lead the way.
With Italy having beaten France and Holland dispatching the Romanians, the Azzuri join other teams such as Germany and the Turks through to the Quarter Finals. And we are looking at a number of scintillating second round matchups, with Portugal meeting the Germans and Croatia taking on Turkey.
The only teams with a chance of making it through are Sweden and Russia, with only one getting the nod from Group D.

Trevor Linden Retires
June 11, 2008A press conference is set for tomorrow where it is expected that long time fan favorite Trevor Linden will announce his retirement. If this is true then I want to thank him for all of his years of service to the Vancouver Canucks and the community. I know that Trevor played with other teams as well as representing players through his involvement with the NHLPA but, I’ll save those thanks for now.
As a Vancouver Canuck, Trevor Linden tallied 415 assists and 318 goals for a total of 1,140 points. As an NHL player Trevor scored a total of 375 goals and 492 points for 867 points in 1,382 games for Canucks, Washington Capitals, Montreal Canadiens and New York Islanders.
As a humanitarian Trevor Linden was practically a fixture at the BC Children’s Hospital and Canuck Place, a hospital for terminally ill children. In 1995 Trevor put together the Trevor Linden Foundation to raise money for local charities and hosts an annual golfing event as a fundraiser for BC Children’s Hospital. For all of that and more Vancouver’s favorite Canuck also received the Order of British Columbia in 2003.
Best to you Trevor and I for one hope you have a wonderful retirement.

Vancouver Canuck Luc Bourdon Dead at 21
May 29, 2008The Vancouver Canucks and their fans are reeling after the news that top prospect Luc Bourdon was killed in a motorcycle accident in northern New Brunswick on Thursday morning. He was 21.
Bourdon, a promising young defenceman who played his junior hockey with the Moncton Wildcats, Cape Breton Screaming Eagles and Val d’Or Foreurs of the QMJHL, split his first pro season in 2007-08 between Vancouver and the Canucks’ farm team, the American Hockey League’s Manitoba Moose.
He scored two goals and was a plus-7 in 27 games with the Canucks last season. The Shippagan, New Brunswick native was drafted 10th overall by the Canucks in 2005 and was among the last pre-season cuts at training camp just a few months later.
He was an integral part of Brent Sutter’s gold medal-winning squad in the 2006 World Junior Hockey Championship and ended the season with Ted Nolan’s Moncton Wildcats in the Memorial Cup.
After a nine-game stint with the Canucks the following season, he was returned to the QMJHL and helped lead Canada win its third straight gold medal at the world juniors.
Odds on the End of the World
May 6, 2008Dating back to the first time man interpreted meanings in various objects such as clouds or reflections in water, how bones land when dropped or even the bumps on people’s heads, predictions were made on when the world would end.
Probably the most consistent prediction has been the one made famous by the Mayan calendar. Not only did the Mayans predict Doomsday to be December 21, 2012 but so did many other people across many cultures.
Now I am not sure why but for some reason the popular sports betting site betCris.com has offered their members betting odds on the world ending on May 10th 2008;
Odds the world will end on May 10th 2008 - 500/1
Odds the world will not end on May 10th 2008 - 1/1,000
Now to me this is a crazy bet cause if the world ends on that date and you win the bet not only would you not be able to collect being dead and all but should you be one of the few to survive, who would send you the check?
As if that wasn’t reason enough what about the thought that everything ends on December 21, 2012? I mean those Mayans were pretty smart people given the fact that the Mayan calendar’s accuracy in measuring time, second only to the atomic clock I believe.
Now I can’t say that either bets on the world ending on those dates is a good bet but I can say this, there is some great info on the web regarding December 21, 2012, check it out. All of the religious and cultural predictions aside there is a web bot that is based upon linguistics and was put together to make predictions on the stock market. It turns out that this system is pretty accurate in predicting other things as well. Check those out at youtube.com by doing a search for Dire Web Bot Predictions and give that a listen before you place your bet on the end of the world.
