Canada advances to Spengler Cup final

Team Canada has advanced to the final of the Spengler Cup with a 4-0 win over HC Davos in their semi final tilt. Canada must have learned something from their 3-2 round robin loss to Davos because they dominated the Swiss side and held them to very few scoring chances in the shutout victory.







Team Canada will now play Russian powerhouse, SKA St. Petersburg from the KHL in the final later this morning.



The tournament was first held in 1923 and is referred to as the oldest invitational ice hockey tournament in the world

Penty of Hockey for the Fans over the Holidays

Allsports loves this time of year because there is so much hockey in the sports news and sports on the web.



The World Junior Tournament is on right now in Buffalo and the Canadian boys just finished rolling over the Czech National team by a score of 7-2. Canada is off to a good start as they also beat the Russians on Boxing Day 6-3. Their special teams have really done a good job so far accounting for 8 of the 13 goals they have scored.



The Spengler Cup is also being contested right now over in Switzerland. Canada opened with a 6-1 win over the Russian side but trails Davos, the home side 3-2 going into the 3rd period.



The NHL is back in high gear and the Toronto Maple Leafs take on the Carolina Hurricanes at the ACC tonight.



All in all if your a fan of hockey there are many games to keep you occupied.

Toronto Maple Leafs fans have aquired a sense of Humor

Allsports being a Toronto Maple Leafs fan has developed and sense of humor over the years and with that I get jokes at my expense I might add, sent to me. So here is the latest sent to me by my loving sister.

A guy goes into a bar and there is a robot bartender. The robot says, "What will you have?" The guy says "Martini." The robot brings back the best martini ever and says to the man, "What's your IQ?" The guy says, "168." The robot then proceeds to talk about physics, space exploration and medical technology. The guy leaves, but he is curious, so he goes back into the bar. The  robot bartender says, "What will you have?" The guy says, "Martini". Again, the robot makes a great martini, gives it to the man and says, "What's your IQ?" The guy says, "100." The robot then starts to talk about Nascar, Budweiser and John Deere tractors. The guy leaves, but finds it very interesting, so he thinks he will try it one more time. He goes back into the bar. The robot says, "What will you have?" The guy says, "Martini", and the robot brings him another great martini. The robot then says, "What's your IQ?" The guy says, "Uh, about 50." The robot leans in real close and says, "So... you gonna cheer for the Leafs again this year?"
