So another Grey Cup game is in the books for the sports news and sports on the web. For those of you not familiar with the history and tradition of the Grey Cup it was the 99th game. Yes the old girl will be a century old next year.

Wally Buono, matched Hugh Campbell and Don Matthews with five Grey Cup wins. Buono won once as a player with Montreal in the famed Staples Ice Bowl game in Montreal in 1977. He now has four titles as a coach. B.C. did not start the season well and lost their first five games and were 1-6 at one point. But they turned it around in a big way winning 12 of 13 to win the Grey Cup.

Amplify’d from allsportsontheweb.com

So up here in Canada, north of the 49th parallel, the 99th Grey Cup game is the big sports news in the print media and on the web. The game is taking place in the newly face lifted BC place in Vancouver. The League is calling it a neutral site game but don’t you believe it. The B.C. Lions will have the “Lions” share of the crowd support.

The game pits the Eastern Conference Champion, Winnipeg Blue Bombers against the Western Conference Champion, B.C. Lions and if previous Grey Cup games are any indication it should be a seesaw battle right down to the final whistle. Read more at allsportsontheweb.com

Crosby does not disappoint in his season debut

Allsports article on the return of Sidney Crosby to game action in the NHL. He had four points on the night in his season debut, a 5-0 win over the NY Islanders. Not a bad nights work I must say.

So the biggest news for hockey in the sports news and sports on the web was the return of Sidney Crosby to game action last night. The National Hockey League in general and the Pittsburgh Penguins in particular can now breathe a  sigh of relief at having the franchise back on the ice. It has been almost eleven months of concussion issues since Crosby last laced up the Blades in game action and Crosby did not disappoint in his season deput

Crosby looked like he had not missed a step and controlled the game from the outset. He scored his first goal on his third shift of the game and was dangerous every time he was on the ice. The evening was a huge success as he scored two goals and added two assists in the 5-0 drubbing of the New York Islanders.  His first goal was vintage Crosby and here is the video evidence for your enjoyment.

The Canadian Football League is an entertaining game

Allsports article on the Canadian Football League Conference Final match ups. Historically they have always been great and entertaining games down to the last second

Amplify’d from allsportsontheweb.com

So up here in Canada we have our own brand of football for the sports news and sports on the web. It is the Canadian Football League and the Conference Championships are today. It is a great game and always very entertaining. You only get three downs so you better be able to pass the football or you are not going to be moving the chains. The field is wider and longer than the National Football League too, and the League has been in existence officially since 1958 but the Grey Cup has been awarded since 1909 when it was donated by the then Governor General of Canada, Earl Grey.

This year the Hamilton Tiger-Cats travel to Winnipeg to take on the Bombers for the right to represent the East in the Grey Cup, while out West the Edmonton Eskimos go to Vancouver for a date with the B.C. Lions. Last week the Ticats put out the defending champion, Montreal Alouettes in overtime by a 52-44 score. It was the most points ever scored in CFL history for a playoff game.

Allsports article on the Toronto Maple Leafs and the ups and downs of trying to stay consistent during a tough National Hockey League Schedule. Consistency is hard

Amplify’d from allsportsontheweb.com

Allsports here for some sports news and sports on the web, looking at hockey in general and the Toronto Maple Leafs in particular.

So the Toronto Maple Leafs are  finding it hard to stay at the top after a fast start to their season. Loosing their number one goaltender, James Reimer sure has not helped the cause as both Ben Scrivens and Jonas Gustavsson have struggled at times to find their way in the NHL on a consistent basis. The last four games will describe adequately what I am talking about.

Smokin Joe Frazier could not win his toughest Fight

Allsports article on the passing of Joe Frazier at the age of 67 from liver cancer. He was one of the best heavy weights back when boxing was the sweet science.

Amplify’d from allsportsontheweb.com

Allsports was going to talk a bit on the Chicago Bears big win in Philadelphia on Monday night to keep their playoff hopes alive, staying one win behind Detroit in the  NFC North.  But sadly with the passing of Joe Frazier I thought I would do something about him.

Frazier passed away last Monday at the age of 67 from liver cancer. Back when he fought, that was when boxing was boxing and it meant something to be the Heavy Weight Champion. Back then you had Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Jimmy Ellis and Canada’s own George Chuvalo to name a few. Some all out wars took place on the canvas.
