At least Becks saved Capello from naming him in the squad. Makes me think the probability of USA getting out of the group stage are a bit higher--JT help us out and sleep with a couple of hot WAGs, m'kay?

Memorial Cup coming to Mississauga. Will fans follow? There was mayor Hazel McCallion on Monday afternoon, praising Mississauga St. Michael's Majors owner Eugene Melnyk for bringing the Memorial Cup to her city and, at the same time, lauding junior hockey's annual championship as an event that will help revive interest in the sport.The Majors have struggled to draw fans for years, finishing second last in the OHL this year with an average attendance of 2,250 per game better than only the nearby Brampton Battalion, who face similar issues.
