Peyton Manning in Denver

One of the best players in the NFL was a free agent, so it did not take a long time before he signed a contract of 96 million dollars for 5 years! Indeed, the old quarter back of the Colts of Indianapolis, Peyton Manning signed with the Broncos of Denver a prolific contract after having been the best free agent in the History of the NFL. This closed the debate of where is he going, because a lot of teams were in the run to have the fourth time winner of the title of “player by excellence of the NFL”. Indeed, at the beginning, 12 teams were interested but last week only three teams were in the run: the 49ers of San Francisco, the Titans of Tennessee and the Broncos of Denver.  Moreover, this is causing the end of “the era Tim Tebow” at Denver. So, if his injury at the neck does not harm himself, he is supposed to play at the beginning of the next season. He will play his fourteenth season, but his first in another uniform than the Colts one.

And you, what do you think about the move of Peyton Manning to Denver?

A Second Return for Crosby

Considerate by a lot of person to be the best player of hockey in the world, Sidney Crosby will play his first hockey game since the last December 5^th. He was not playing because of a concussion that gave him horrible headaches. But, it is not the first time that he is coming back to action. The last time, at his first game after his first injury (November 21^st), he has scored 4 points. So, do you think that he is going to have another powerful return like the last time?  This is what we will see tonight at 7 o’clock when “Sid the Kid” and the Penguins of Pittsburg will confront the Rangers of New York that are at the first position in the East division. My own prediction is that the Penguins will win this game 5 to 3 because they won their last 9 games without Crosby so, with him, they are going to win their 10^th. And you, what is your prediction for this game?

Deadline date in the NHL

Yesterday, it was the deadline date for trades in the NHL. Usually, a lot of trades are made at this date because all the teams that will participate in the playoffs want to complete their teams to have a chance to win the Stanley Cup. But this year, not a lot of trades have been made and no very talented player has moved to another team. But Mister Pierre Gauthier (the general manager of the Montreal’s Canadians) has moved a little bit: he traded the right wing Andrei Kostitsyn, who has 24 points this season in 54 games, for a 2^nd draft pick in 2013. So, A. Kostitsyn will join his brother Sergei and his old teammate Hall Gill with the Predators of Nashville. Moreover, Mister Gauthier has made the acquisition of Brad Staubitz who was a free player. This player will add muscles to the CH with because he is a very big “go on” player. The Canadians will play their next game tonight against the Lightning of Tampa Bay. Good week everybody!
