9 yr-old YouTube hockey censation Oliver Wahlstrom.

Some thing this is an original goal. In fact, Rob Hisey use to do this years ago. Here's a variation where Hisey does the same, but with his stick between his legs.

That said, Rob was a teenager and Oliver is doing this at 9 yrs old. I can't wait to see his moves when he's 16.

These are my predictions for the NHL Eastern Conference.

Rangers

The Rangers are off to a great start. Nothing new. Lunqvist does this every year. Don't credit anybody but Lunqvist and laugh at hockey analysis who make anything of the Rangers fast start. Lunqvist comes back to Earth as the season wears on him.

Senators

If Leclaire keeps it up, then expect the Sens near the top of the Northeast division.

Capitals and Penguins

The Pens and Caps will shoot it out again for the conference title.

Sabres

If Miller remains healthy, then the Sabres are playoff bound.

Thrashers

Great start. Maybe they can make the playoffs. Maybe. It's 50-50.

Devils

Still getting worse and relying on Brodeur more than ever. Brodeur will likely get them into the playoffs yet again. Someday he won't.

Flyers

Amazing team outside of management and goaltending. How do you put Randy Jones up for grabs? How do you gamble on the Emery headcase? If Emery doesn't implode the team, then they make the playoffs.

Bruins

Should easily make playoffs. GM is executive of the year for the Kessel trade. Last 12 months have put them into Stanley Cup contention for the next 10 years.

Lightning

They can't play defense. I feel sorry for their goaltenders.

Hurricane

Getting old. Need to surround Cam Ward with younger players. This is likely a good year for them to exit from the playoff picture and get a good draft pick. Ward may make that difficult.

Panthers

They suck again.

Canadians

Too much change in team personel, plus Andrei Markov not heathly, equals a lot of unfair doubt on Carey Price's skill and no playoff.

Islanders

The Isles will never make the playoffs until Garth Snow is fired.

Leafs

This franchise is turning into a joke. The Ducks cup win obviously had little to do with Brian Burke.

Here's my eval of the Leafs this season. Brian Burke has turned out to be an idiot. Toskala sucks! Kulemin sucks! Primeau sucks! Stempniak really sucks! Mayers sucks! Blake really sucks! When your GM, starting goalie and 5 of your forwards suck or really suck, then you will lose a lot of games. Kulemin, Stempniak and Blake are three of our best scoring forwards and have three points combined over 18 games played. Somehow, Wilson benches Stajan and Hagman, our top and goal scorers and point producers. Wilson, have you watched Stempniak and Blake? Both play so far from the oppositions net that they might as well be in the pressbox. Oh wait, I forgot, Ron Wilson sucks too! He won't get fired because his friend is the GM. I'm guessing this off-season has set the Leafs Laughs back another two years. Maybe we'll make the playoffs in 2012.

September 1st, we went to Hockeytown Cafe, just across the street from Comerica park in Detroit. We were going to the baseball game and I've always wanted to go to this restaurant.



The food was OK. It's worth going. At least once if you love hockey.



They have memorabilia everywhere. Mostly hockey, but baseball and football as well. Oddly it's close to the baseball and football stadiums and a big walk from the Hockey Rink.

Last month, I found out that EA Sports is not working on a NASCAR 10 and is no longer interested in the NASCAR license. There is  no NASCAR specific game currently in planning. NASCAR will now be part of the Grand Turismo game, but won't have a game on it's own. I think this is a big mistake by NASCAR. Video games are a great way of creating young fans. Without a game, with current cars, drivers, etc., young fans will flock to other sports.

Between Frankenmuth and Birch Run, there's a small local race track called Dixie Motor Speedway. I have to remember to go here next time we're in the area. Looks like a fun experience. They have racing every Friday night.

This last week I've had enormous problems with the Jermaine Pennant girlfriend forum. Forty-three email complaints. As per our terms of service, we are not protecting your IP address privacy and we are not protecting the IP address of Playboy bunnies either. Today, I discovered that the cyber-bully causing most of the problems on the Jermaine Pennant girlfriend forum is a Playboy bunny named Emily Oldfield. Or at least it appears to be her. It's entirely someone is pretending to be her, but based on the amount of evidence, this is extremely unlikely.

She appears to be upset with Jermaine Pennant, his ex-fiance Amii Grove and another girl named Danni Wells. Here are some of her recent posts on Talk-Sports, most of which I had to delete.

While hes not there if any burgulars are in the area
Jermaines house: hes got some great sex videos
{Jermaine's home address cut}

enjoy amiis new website!

jermaine pennant has a small cock and is shit in the sack....hes a shit footballer everyone knows it

Amii Grove is a sad physco bunny boiler who steals of men for money and to be a orange tanned slag WAG....wannabe bitch....glad her brother is dead in the ground! evil bitch

BLOW JOB

I’m so lucky to have a PROPER footballer boyfriend that plays in the premier league and for his country. I also don’t go around telling tacky scum papers about my relationship  like the sun and daily star…..yes because I have pride and don’t want ppl in my life and his. There isn’t one
Nice thing about Jermaine and I wudnt leave my man 4 the world!

YOU ARE SAD SAD PEOPLE, WITH NO LIVES AND JEALOUSLY THAT IS UNBELIVABLY SICK. I HOPE YOU LOOSE A BABY YOU CUNTS........................SCUM OF THE EARTH U DESEREVE EACHOTHER. U WILL ALL BE ARRESTED. EVERY ip ON THIS SCOURCE CODE PAGE.

YOU ARE SICK PEOPLE

sad bitch writing about herself.....shes ugly, with a pointy face and a dodgy nose, just another average page 3 girl, ....all she can do is get her tits out, thats not modeling.shes a joke. go die with ur shit brother

Emily isn't only using Talk-Sports to bully Amii and Danni, but also Twitter. Here are two comments posted on Twitter from an account that has since been deleted, or so it appears.

emilyoldfield1: no wonder everyone cheats on amii grove......sometimes love you have to accept ur nothing but dirt on a shoe!!!!
emilyoldfield1: is watching porn....while amii grove and danii wells have nothing better 2 do but be jealous of me!!!!!! keeptaking slags!!!!

I'm guessing it's highly likely that the other posts in the forum are from other people I've mentioned in this post.

Who are Emily, Jermaine, Amii and Danni?

Jermaine Pennant is a footballer who plays for Real Zaragoza and previously played for Liverpool, Arsenal and a lot of other teams. He was engaged to Amii Grove. Read more on Wikipedia.

Let this stand as a warning to others that use Talk-Sports to cyber-bully. We will not hesitate to expose you.
