OspreyBlogs

Readers of the “good old Blog” have no doubt been aware of the ongoing repairs and changes that we have been experiencing.

Not being a “techie” but rather a sports hack, I can’t pretend to know what has been going on within the IT Dept. of Sun Media, so all I can say to those who frequent this Blog is to ask that you try to be patient as those who are in charge of this particular area continue to work to try to get OspreyBlogs.com back to normal.

Being that the playoffs in the Northern Ontario Jr. Hockey League are already underway, I’m going to pass on posting my “full out” predictions and basically just reveal who I had picked to win the four opening-round series.

To be sure, I have no surprises in store for you.

My calls are Abitibi over Temiscaming in 5, North Bay over Sudbury in 6, Soo Thunderbirds over Manitoulin in 4 and Blind River over the Soo Eagles in 6.

I’m thinking that the Blind River/Soo Eagles series may up ending being the hardest-fought…and not just on the ice.

As this is being written, the Eagles are trying to move Wednesday’s scheduled Game 2 in the Michigan Soo to Thursday.

Seems there’s a high school hockey game slated for Wednesday night at Pullar Stadium in the Michigan Soo  — which is when the Eagles were slated to play host to Blind River.

The Eagles want to move the game to Thursday and while they have their side of the story, the Beavers aren’t so keen on this proposed late change. And I can’t say that I blame them.

At any rate, here’s hoping that OspreyBlogs.com is now fully functional. All seems to be well at the moment.

To be sure, I have missed your comments and feedback.
