Killorn ranked sixth on the Lightning in goals with 17 in his first full NHL season. The Halifax, Nova Scotia native appeared in four games in the Stanley Cup playoffs, scoring a goal and an assist. The 24-year-old forward has skated in 120 career NHL games, all with the Lightning over the past two seasons, posting 24 goals and 60 points to go along with 77 penalty minutes.

UCI President Brian Cookson said Wednesday the commission will investigate allegations "that the UCI has been involved in wrongdoing in the past -- allegations which have done so much to hurt the credibility of the UCI and our sport.4) Another sad note, on a more personal side, if you dont mind? Condolences to the family of former NHLer Murray Oliver, who also died on Sunday. And thanks to "Muzz" for great memories of fun times in the Twin Cities, too long ago. (Incidentally--Jan. 7, 1980. The Minnesota North Stars, whose assistant coach was Murray Oliver, snapped the 35-game streak of Pat Quinns Flyers with a 7-1 victory.)5) If you think legendary Russian hockey coach Viktor Tikhonov belongs in the Hockey Hall of Fame, you are allowed to ask: Will his death at the age of 84 change the obvious lack of support for his enshrinement? The way it works--probably.6) Can the Montreal Canadiens really be the best team in the NHL? True, theyre in first place and only six of their 23 games have been losses in regulation time, but in those six losses, they have been outscored 30-3.7) Did Odell Beckham Junior make the greatest catch in football history? If I hadnt seen him do it like that while warming up (and kudos to ESPN for capturing that and showing it in timely fashion), I would say "yes". But I did see the pre-game acrobatics, and while it didnt make the touchdown catch routine, it left me thinking that Beckhams catch wasnt one of a kind. David Tyrees balancing act that helped the New York Giants beat New England in the Super Bowl was obviously more meaningful and will never be duplicated.8) In the Grey Cup, will the Calgary Stampeders punt the football to Brandon Banks? I suppose the obvious answer is that they shouldnt. The Montreal Alouettes might well be in the Grey Cup if they hadnt. But the Stampeders are favoured to beat Hamilton, and favourites dont like to concede anything. It will certainly be a "game within the game" whenever Calgary punts.9) Do you miss the TSN Turning Point? Im not sure what happened to it, and lets face it, not every game has one, but Banks 93-yard punt return in the final minute of the first half to give Hamilton a 20-14 lead over Montreal was a TSN Turning Point if Ive ever seen one.10) The latest sensation in Raptorland is Sweet Lou Williams. Does everybody named Lou assume the "Sweet Lou" moniker? Well, we remember Sweet Lou Piniella, Sweet Lou Whitaker, and Lou Nanne is "Sweet Lou from the Sault (Soo?)", but have you ever heard the New Jersey Devils general manager called "Sweet Lou" Lamoriello?11) Where or how in the world did "Sweet Lou" start? You can find references to a 1930s song called "Sweet Lou", a horse named "Sweet Lou" that ran in the 1960s, a mention of "Sweet Lou" in a 19th century poem, for goodness sake.12) Even if you hate them, dont you love the New England Patriots? Jonas Gray rushes for a whopping 201 yards against Inndianapolis, shows up late for practice in advance of Sundays clash with the Detroit Lions and is sent home by coach Bill Belichick.dddddddddddd Gray was in uniform on game day, but he neednt have bothered with the equipment. The Patriots preferred to hand the ball to LaGarrette Blount, fresh from the street after Pittsburgh had banished him for pouting.13) Jay Bouwmeesters NHL ironman streak was stopped at 737 games, which begs the question: Is it likely that the record of 964 games held by Doug Jarvis will last forever? Likely? Yes. But its not the safest NHL record. Because well never again see a goalie play every game of one NHL season, it is ridiculous to contemplate a goalie playing every game of six straight seasons. And then a few more. Glenn Hall played 502 games in a row. His record is safe.14) The winner of the Lou Marsh Trophy as Canadas athlete of the year will be chosen and announced in a couple of weeks. Would a Genie Bouchard-Milos Raonic tie vote be popular, or, if Canadas accomplishments on the tennis tour are to be recognized, must the winner be one or the either?15) And if the previous answer is "yes", how do you decide which one?16) Do you consider yourself a "baseball geek"? Well, youre not if you cant explain what the Pittsburgh Pirates received from the Oakland As when they traded first baseman Ike Davis. They received "international slot money value".17) Should the NFL allow a team with a losing record to make the playoffs, and furthermore, to host a playoff game? Following the New Orleans Saints Monday night loss to the Baltimore Ravens, the NFC South division is led by the Atlanta Falcons with a 4-7 record. A drastic change would be to demand that a division winner have more wins than losses, but more sensibly and more easily, a team with more losses than wins should have to open the playoffs on the road as a bottom seed.18) Fresh from two wins over Pittsburgh and Mondays 1-0 shootout victory over Philadelphia, the New York Islanders are tied for first place in the Metropolitan Division. If youre making a list of the top five NHL teams, are the Islanders on that list? (Two acceptable answers--"yes" or "almost").19) Whats worse for the Carolina Hurricanes--seeing Alexander Semin in the lineup without a goal or seeing him in the press box as a healthy scratch? Either way, theyre paying him $7,000,000.20) How do you think the New York Yankees will react to the headline-grabbing signings of Pablo (Panda) Sandoval and Hanley Ramirez by the Boston Red Sox? (Probably by hoping that Bostons spending spree leaves the Red Sox right where the Yankees were after landing Masahiro Tanaka, Jacoby Ellsbury, Brian McCann and Carlos Beltran--out of the playoffs.)
