It’s my Parting Shot for some Weekend Short Shots…
Someone in the media pointed out following yesterday’s passing of the W-H-L Trade Deadline that the big Saskatoon-Portland deal from yesterday was the 14th transaction since last summer by the Blades. The connotation of the fact came across as if it was a bad thing. But, when I look at each deal and how the arrivals and departures have impacted the team, I see nothing but positive for the Blue and Gold. Maybe I see that through rose-coloured glasses, but I’ll give you a great debate on the evolution of Saskatoon’s team!
The Fearless Predictor picked three of the four games correctly last weekend in the N-F-L’s Wild Card round. This weekend is the Divisional Round of four games. Time to dive in…
Tomorrow, Indianapolis visits Kansas City. The Colts have come on after a shakey start to the season. Kansas City tends to implode in the playoffs. It shouldn’t happen to the Chiefs this year, but here’s MY “Upset Special”…Indy by less than a touchdown!
The second game tomorrow has Dallas at the L-A Rams. The home team has to be able to score against a mediocre Cowboys’ defence…right?!! I’ve got the Rams by at least 10 points!
On Sunday, the L-A Chargers are in New England. Bill Belichik always seems to find a way to massage his team past a tough opponent. But, not this time…the Chargers by less than a field goal!
That leaves Philadelphia in New Orleans. The Eagles have found ways to stay alive, leading some to believe the defending Super Bowl champs might not be beaten again this season. WRONG! I’ve got the Saints prevailing by at least a touchdown!
That’s my Parting Shot, I’m Les Lazaruk…
