SportsFilter: The Tuesday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
The Washington Capitals were named a month or so back in the investigation of a Dr who was busted in FL with a large amount of drugs and steroids.
The Caps Stated "This has been a thorough investigation, and we are satisfied that law enforcement, the NHL and our own internal investigation have not led to any link of steroid use by Capitals players."
Today, I heard on Pittsburgh sports talk radio station(Looking for the story) that the FL police contacted the Caps and asked to see the results of their investigation to help aid in the states case. The Caps responded by saying "We never really did an investigation. The roid stories may be heating back up in D.C.

Bango? Bingo.
Doesn't Bango know not to stand on the top step of a ladder? I wonder if he'll get a cease-and-desist letter from the American Ladder Manufacturers Association.
Awesome stunt, though -- maybe he's what's got the Bucks fired up in the postseason.

Bayern Munich make Olympique Lyon look like traffic cones en route to an (at least) 3-0 win to move to the Champions League final. If Bayern manage to win that, they could be part of a very quiet treble.

More likely, it's Squad 6.

You've been down here, so you should have known that we have absolutely nothing in Australia that resembles New Jersey.
Well, maybe parts of Brisbane.

I was just coming to post that, tommy. Got too wrapped up in the Wings/Coyotes, I guess... :D

Just a quick shout out to Jaroslav Halak and his amazing game last night, facing over 50 shots and turning away all but one of them. It was an incredible performance and served as a reminder of how wonderful playoff hockey can be to watch.
