NHL hockey season

The 2010 - 2011 NHL hockey season is starting soon with the Chicago Blackhawks starting the season as the defending Stanley Cup Champions. Their triumph ended a long streak without that now makes Toronto the sorriest hockey team that hasn't won a championship since 1967. 

How many years will it be before Toronto makes the playoffs? 2017 would mark their 50th year without a championship.

Ilya Kovalchuk has had the contract saga draw out all summer long and seems to be settled with the Russian sniper. Will Taylor Hall crack the Edmonton Oilers lineup and will their team do anything special this year?

82-0 Miami Heat Perfect Season

Forget just winning the next NBA championship, all fans want to know can Miami become the only team in NBA history to win all 82 games? The odds are not likely but it is something people are blogging about these days. The trio of Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh and LeBron James are the talk of the NBA season. Many say the only team that has a chance of stopping them are the LA Lakers which feature a great team but nowhere near as stacked as the Miami Heat.

The best NBA team record to date was the 1995-1996 Chicago Bulls that had an oustanding record of 72-10 and only lost 3 more games in the entire post season to completely dominate. If the Miami Heat win the championship this season many fans and former NBA stars will want to put a giant asterisk beside this season since this team was super stacked to dominate. 

Michael Jordan was recently quoted as saying he didn't call up Magic and Bird to play together and that instead he wanted to beat them. Well James isn't winning anything anytime soon in Cleveland so maybe this is his only chance to win anything. If he does he won't be compared to Jordan in anyway, whom by the way won 4 Championship MVP awards.
