National Couch Potatoe Day

Hey peeps and anyone else checking in. A special "Hey" goes out to Hazel Mae.

A big day in sports up here in Canada. Its Hockey Day in Canada meaning we have a tripleheader today involving all six Canadian teams. The action starts this afternoon at 2 with the Habs taking on the SenaTards, Vancouver visiting Hazel's hold stomping grounds to take on the Maple Leafs, and the late game sees Edmonton heading south to pay a visit to the Calgary Flames.

If that wasn't good enough, the NFL Playoffs continue today - I don't think anyone here is going to be getting off the couch today. Despite the fact that most people are picking the Eagles over the Saints today, including our girl Tina, I'm sticking with the Saints - 5.5 in my suicide pool...wish me luck.

HAZEL'S THREE STARS
Nashville Predators' G Tomas Vokoun returned to action last night and stopped all 22 shots in a 2-0 victory over the Blue Jackets.

Atlanta Thrashers G Kari Lehtonen was outstanding last night in a loss to the Devils - Lehtonen stopped 32 of 34 shots in a tough loss.

Minnesota Wild G Manny Fernandez made 32 saves in a 4-2 victory over Edmonton last night - the Wild have been terrible on the road this season, but Fernandez came up big for them last night.


SATURDAY THREE PLAY
New York over Boston -with apologies to Hazel and all the Bruins' fans who check in here, I'm expecting the Rangers to get well today against a Bruins' team that can't stop the bleeding. Lay $ 100 on the Rangers - $165.

Montreal over Ottawa - the Habs always play the Tards tough, so I'm going stick with them this afternoon. Lay $50 on the Habs +125.

Baltimore - 4 over Indianapolis - with apologies to my pal Renee who likes the Colts today, I'm taking Baltimore's D over Manning today. Lay $100 on the Ravens.

That's about it for today gang...have a great one peeps.

HAZEL'S SATURDAY HOROSCOPE
A trip or getting together with peers will bring you challenges, helping you realize how much you actually have to offer. Your ability to think and act fast will impress. Physical activities will give you a sense of accomplishment. 3 stars

Hazel, I hope things are groovy in your world - too bad you're missing Hockey Day in Canada.
