Eyeopener - The Canucks Are Scumbags

-The Vancouver Canucks came into game three of the Stanley Cup Finals having won the first two games while making it seem as if the series would be a breeze.  Then Aaron Rome leveled Nathan Horton in a hit that evoked different responses depending on which dressing room you were in (and one I thought was exceptionally dirty and dangerous) and the B's woke up.  Boston hung a great eight on the Canucks in an 8-1 win that saw Bruins up the ante in physicality and Vancouver fall apart, especially Roberto Luongo.

-Congratulations to Bob Stoops and the Oklahoma Sooners on their national championship!  The Sooners fought long and hard all season, suffering a set back in only their last game of the season at the hands of the Southern Cal Trojans.  That won't matter though as USC has to vacate it's 2004 BCS National Championship as punishment for using Reggie Bush, an ineligible player.

-Hand down, man down!  Mark Jackson is the new coach of the Golden State Warriors, a team known more for its offense than its defense.  Jackson figures to be a defensive ninded coach who will need to change the culture in the Bay Area to have success so expect to hear Jackson yelling "Hand down, man down!" frequently this coming season.

-Dirk Nowitzki needs a little support from time to time.  Some times he turns to his wife and sometimes he turns to his teammates.  And while Dirk's wife seems to be bringing the goods day in and day out:

Jason Terry and Co. hasn't been in the finals.  Dirk called out Terry yesterday, a move a little surprising from such a quiet superstar.  Considering the source, it might just be what the Mavs needed to even the series tonight.

-The MLB Draft was yesterday, bringing to the forefront a group of names you won't care about for another five years.  We'll let the pros at MLB.com explain who is who and what is what.

-Nails will be behind bars.  Lenny Dykstra, financial guru turned felon, was arrested on charges of grand theft auto and drug possession as well as a slew of related charges.  He is jailed on $500,000 bail.
