Sports night!


The NCAA Madness winds down tonight.

Kentucky#1 are the favourite over Kansas#2. The game in on at 9PM tonight on TSN.

I have to go with Kentucky. They are the heavy favourites and they have skill and size that is tough to match.

Should be a more entertaining game then last year when UCONN defeated the underbulldogs of Baylor who put together the lowest socring 51-43 UCONN vicotry, the lowest scoring final since they invented the 3-point line.



How about... the NLL Lacrosse.
The Toronto Rock pull out a huge 15- win over Buffalo who haven't been able to get it together this year. Garrett Billings sets Rock single game scoring record with 15 point, 4 goals and 11 A's.
John Tavares had 4G's and 1A for the last place Bandits. The Rock(6-6) are one game back of Philly for 1st place in the East.


Colorado sneak in 16-12 afternoon win in Rochester. John Grant jr back in Rochester for the first time since being traded to Colorado and he puts in 11 points, getting the hat-trick and adding 11A's. Not too bad, eh. His Lakers teammate and Colorado captain Gavin Prout had 9 points (2G-7A).


Cory Vitarelli gets 3 goals and 2A's and tied a season high 8 loose balls.

Vitarelli is far behind the league leader and faceoff specialist in loose balls, Geoff Snider has 190. But every loose ball Vitarelli grabs seems to be on the door step. Vitarelli battles his way through traffic for juicy rebounds. He's like a vacuum cleaner on the crease and the way he can pull in a pass cutting through the middle with a defender drapped on him is admirable.

The Lakers should be in good shape this summer.

The Junior camps are underway and I look forward to being home this summer and covering the Lakers.
