It's time for another patented "This Things I Believe" (patent pending) weblog, where I will whimsically wax on weighty issues.I think… the playoffs are only going to get better.Usually I start to lose interest in the playoffs as the second round rolls around. The weather...

Second Round Preview
I had a disastrous first round selecting playoff series. In the pool I host (The 10th Annual Scott Tougas Invitational Playoff Pool hosted by Goldman Sachs) I picked 4/8 series correctly, and in my other pool I picked 6/8 correctly (I split my picks on the Washington/New York and Pittsburgh...
The Fine Line Between Success and Failure
We like to talk in absolutes when it comes to sports. I know I do – I believe I said there is "no way" the New Jersey Devils will lose to the Carolina Hurricanes a week ago as the series enters game 7 tonight. But it's easy to say "so and so" is a choke artist...
Rapid Fire Thoughts
It's been a terribly busy week, but I must make a few quick hockey comments before the weekend:Joe Thornton is who we thought he was. You know things are bad when Hockey Night In Canada has dedicated two separate intermissions to his craptacular play. I'm legitimately fearful...
Playoff Mailbag
Good morning, everyone. It's been a fantastic five days of playoff hockey, and I for one have been glued to my television like never before (ah, high-definition… why did I not know about you earlier?). I thought I'd take some time to answer some of the more pressing questions...

The Last Chapter
It was a beautiful April day. The sun was shining, the sky was clear, little pieces of green had finally started to shoot through the unbearable grey Edmontonians had become accustomed to for the past six months. Homeless people had taken the day off begging, instead choosing to carry...
Expressing Regret/Playoff Preview
I watched Hockey Night In Canada on Saturday (briefly, but I did). As always, Don Cherry occupied the first intermission of the dramatic Leafs/Senators clash, and did something only Don could do – cut to clips of himself being "correct." It's one of his trademark...
The 10th Annual Scott Tougas Invitational Playoff Hockey Pool
Hey all;As is tradition (a rich, RICH tradition), I will be hosting my playoff pool. Format is as such:- 1 point for picking the winner of each series- 1 point for picking the correct number of games (only if you pick the team correctly)- the tie-breaker will be an individual player...
Signs of Spring
People think the first sign of spring has something to do with a groundhog on February 2, which further confirms a lot of people aren’t that bright.The real true sign of spring is the return of the hobo. When winter slowly fades away, hobos return from their paid vacations and...
MacIdiot MacMurders the season
I was at work last night, and somehow the topic of Craig MacTavish came up. I
Cross-faced Chicken Wing
I used to watch SportsCenter fairly regularly. Brendan O'Connor and Michael Landsberg made a good team that usually did not offend me (needless to say, that was many years ago). Anchors are responsible for only a few things
You can't spell "principle-less" without "Principe"
Allo all;I’m taking a few moments away from my busy day to comment on a few random notes from the sports world:What a Gene-ius.The above is an example of the type of pun Gene Principe would use on an Oilers broadcast. They don’t necessarily have to make sense (“The...
The Oiler Way
Gregg Popovich is the coach of the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA. The Spurs are the New Jersey Devils of the NHL – no one likes them, they’re a great team/franchise that has developed no followers outside of their home base, they’re boring but effective, and they&rsquo...
24 Reasons To Wake Up In The Morning
Foreword: I am sick and tired of talking about the Edmonton Oilers, just like I'm sure you're sick and tired of reading about them. So I thought I'd touch on something much more important today.After the dramatic 2008 United States Presidential Election, pundits discussed...
Midweek Musings
For those of you living elsewhere, it is -30C in Edmonton today. -30C on March 10th - a time of year where it?s usually around 0C. I stopped for gas, and my glasses actually froze. I took solace in knowing if my frozen glasses led to me being in a fiery car wreck? at least I?d be warm...
Weekend Mailbag
It?s getting to that critical junction in the NHL season, so perhaps it?s time perhaps its time to answer your questions in another one of my patented mailbags: Jeremy Bresler from Vancouver, B.C. writes: Scott, even though the vast majority of your predictions are wrong, who do you...
Trade Deadline Day: The Aftermath & The Consequences
Welcome all, to my 1st annual trade deadline breakdown (I?ve also decided whenever I start something new, I?m going to call it the ?first annual,? to imply this blog will be around forever, and ever, and ever). --- The Oilers did exactly what I thought (and, well, everyone thought...
