--I wonder if those American players on the Riders who stay in Regina all winter long regret their decision after enduring December. DAMN its been cold!!!

--Canada's 2008 World Junior Team won Canadian team of the year honour. Was this OK with Sandro De Angelis and the Calgary Stampeders or do they once again feel disrespected. Who cares what Sandro thinks...certainly not I.

--I love the World Junior Hockey Championship. I hate 15-0 games though.  Maybe next year if Canada plays Kazahkstan they can use each others goalie.

A lot of talk today about Canada's 15-0 demolition of Kazahkstan at the World Junior Hockey Championship yesterday and whether or not was seen was necessary or beneficial. Was it necessary---yes!

The major networks are starting to rehash the year that was and the stories that made 2008 great so before TSN and Sportsnet gets their year in review programs out with their stories of the year, here are mine and I would like to know if you agree or disagree with my  number one choice and if you disagree I welcome your "sports story of the year".

Ok its been a while but I've been on holidays. Barring time standing still, you will hear me bright and early Monday morning. (Note to Dave Arnold: Make coffee very strong on Monday AM--Thanks!!)

--How many people have already bought or about to buy Rider jerseys with "82" on them??

--How choked would you be if Jason Clermont decided to wear a jersey other than 82 when training camp rolls around---I'm just sayin!!!!

--Are we all sleeping easier now that Mats Sundin has signed on with the Vancouver Canucks???
