BCS Title Game: LSU vs. Alabama

2012-01-09T09:46:00.004-05:00

Tonight is the final culmination of another long BCS Bowl Season. 34 of the 35 bowl games have already been played, and it is time to crown the National Champion. Alabama, LSU, two Southeastern Conference powerhouses that have already met earlier in the season. The game back on November 5th was touted as the game of the century, but failed to live up to expectations when LSU edged out Bama 9-6 in overtime.

Both sports writers and fans had mixed feelings about the selection of the two championship contenders. Should Bama be given a shot at the National Title if they failed to make it to the finals of their conference tournament? It is just another question that the BCS system just can't answer. All in all, the BCS Championship game should be played between the 2 best football programs in the country. This seems to be the best fit, and tonight these two teams will stop at nothing to prove they are the best in the country!

Thriller Anniversary!

2011-11-30T15:27:00.004-05:00

Hello Fans!

Today we are here to celebrate a truly MOMENTOUS occasion in musical history. On this day back in 1982, a young performer by the name of Michael Jackson released his 6th studio album entitled Thriller.

Now, we will assume that most of you are familiar with the legendary CD, but if not, here is a brief recap of how Thriller had such a lasting impact on both musical and pop culture. Jackson started recording Thriller in a transitional period of his life. Having just hired a new manager John Branca, Jackson was eager to become "the biggest star in show business".

Michael set out to accomplish this goal, and it didn't take long. Thriller became one of the hottest records of the year in 1983. Seven of the nine songs on the album were released as singles, and every single one of them reached the Billboard Top Ten. The album, Thriller, received amazing critical acclaim for both the album, and for creating the first promotional music video. In fact, the music video for Thriller has been archived at the United States Library of Congress because it held "cultural significance". Since then, Thriller has gone on to become the highest selling album of all time!

Although the King of Pop passed away in June, 2009, his legacy lives on. For instance, Cirque du Soleil has recently introduced a new show, called Cirque du Soleil: Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour, featuring a long list of Michael Jackson's best work! The show has been on tour since early October, but is coming back to Canada in March! Be sure to check out the FanX Inventory Here.

For your viewing pleasure, we have also posted a couple of videos inspired by the Cirque Show, and other classics by Mr. Jackson himself!

And last but not least, the famed viral video of prison inmates rehearsing their version of Thriller!

WATCH THE THRONE!

2011-11-24T11:08:00.004-05:00

All summer, fans have been sitting and waiting for one of the biggest tours of the year to kick off! The tour started on the 28th of October in Atlanta, but made its first stops north of the border on Tuesday and Wednesday nights in Montreal and Toronto respectively. As for the reviews? The show has been an absolute blowout!

Montreal had the privilege of welcoming the two superstars to the Great White North, and Jay and Ye made sure not to disappoint. From the lighting to the on-stage chemistry, Kanye and Jigga didn't miss a beat as they smashed their way through solo hits and collaborative classics alike.

Last night in Toronto the duo kicked it up a notch, blowing right past the Air Canada Centre's usual 11:00PM curfew. After the monstrous intro consisting of Jay-Z and Kanye appearing on opposite ends of the stadium, standing on top of massive LED cubes, passing the spotlight back and forth as they blasted H.A.M., the duo continued on through their platinum-filled catalogues. Here are some clips from the first two Canadian dates.

The Intro!

Tickets are sure to go fast after the fantastic reviews coming out this morning. If you're looking to catch a glimpse of the show of the year, check out our inventory at FanXchange.com!

NFL Mid-Season Review: Surprise Teams and Great Games

2011-11-14T10:20:00.004-05:00

After tonight's Monday Night game between the Minnesota Vikings and the defending Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers, we will officially be at the midway point of the 2011 NFL season. It's time to take a look at the league through the first 8 games, with the surprises and upsets that will shape the remainder of the long drive to the Super Bowl.

Detroit, Buffalo, and San Francisco have all shocked the football world with their standing halfway through the season. Nobody thought the 49ers would be sitting on top of their division having only lost a single game.

The Lions sit behind the powerhouse Packers in the strong NFC North, and have won 4 games on the road. With their next two games at home, the Lions look to gain some ground on the leading Packers.

Even though the Bills were routed by the Cowboys on Sunday, no one can say that Buffalo hasn't had an impressive season so far, with a couple big wins over New England and Oakland earlier on. They too will look to push for a playoff spot in the coming weeks.

These surprise teams have led to an increase in ticket sales in markets that typically rank in the bottom half of the NFL. As the season heats up, expect some big games to be coming to markets like Detroit and Buffalo. Make sure you check our inventory for all the upcoming football games, you won't want to miss any of the action!

2010-05-18T15:03:00.001-04:00

It is down to the final four in the NHL Playoffs, and one thing that is apparent is that we have seen the spotlight shine down on goaltenders. Whether it be Halak for Montreal taking over games, or the surprise play of Michael Leighton of the Flyers, these goaltenders have come from the bottom to take the spotlight.

Jaroslav Halak has taken over these playoffs. He has had a few bumps in the road including his Game 1 loss to Philadelphia, however for the most part he has been superb in net for the Canadiens. He has shut down the likes of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Alexander Ovechkin. He has given us the pleasure to understand what it means to be cool under pressure. In fact, Halak has been even better in games in which he faces more than 40 shots having won almost every game in which this occurs. Halak hopes that his valiant effort will establish his position as the Canadiens #1 net minder by supplanting Carey Price and ending this year after year battle. In my opinion, no goalie in recent years has played this well in the playoffs so in case Montreal’s management has not figured it out yet this guy can play and should be locked up long term. Too bad for Carey Price, a former 1st round draft pick, as both goalies will be restricted free agents this offseason. It is highly unlikely Montreal can sign both, so goodbye Mr. Price.

Across the ice is another goalie who has emerged in these playoffs...the name is Michael Leighton..who?

Michael Leighton of the Philadelphia Flyers is a goaltender who up until now no one really wanted. He has started 112 NHL games, but has bounced around from team to team and promotions and demotions to the minor leagues. Leighton did not even start the playoffs as the Flyers’ #1 goaltender, he got called in when Brian Boucher went down with an injury. Since then he has been stellar, having a 3-0 record, a 1.11 goals-against and a .959 save percentage. That is not what a team usually gets from a backup. The Flyers have been extremely lucky and so has Leighton given that he has been brought into the spotlight and has been able to demonstrate his skill. Leighton hopes that demonstrating he can play will lead to a new contract and an established position in Philly’s line-up. After his shutout in game 1 against Montreal he hopes his great play will continue towards the Stanley Cup. We will have to see if this hot streak continues. Only time will tell, so get your tickets now to the Eastern Conference Finals. Remember, FanXchange has all of your NHL Playoff Tickets so get them now!

A Wild West Battle

2010-05-13T14:47:00.000-04:00

NBA Western Conference Final Preview: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Phoenix Suns:

I am ecstatic that Canadian bred, Steve Nash has moved on to the Western Conference Finals. Both the Lakers and Suns had a very easy time in the second round of the NBA Playoffs. They will now meet in what hopes to be a great series for NBA fans, after witnessing both of these teams sweep their opponents in the second round. The Lakers will want to avenge their 2007 loss to the Suns, while the Suns badly want to supplant the defending NBA Champions, and win their own NBA championship for the first time in team history.

The key to this series will be Bigs vs. Bigs. The matchup of Amare Stoudemire and Pau Gasol is a great one, as both of these players have elevated their game in this year’s playoffs. Each player will have a great effect on if their team can survive this series.

Another key component is injuries. Will the eye gash Nash endured in the San Antonio series have an effect on his X-Ray vision? Will he be able to make the eye dropping passes we are so used to? Nash is the NBA’s best pure floor general, he averaged 17.8 points and 9.0 assists in the first two rounds of the playoffs and hopes to continue to flourish for the remainder of these playoffs.

Is Kobe’s age and amount of playing he has done in his career finally catching up with him? He did fine against Utah, but at times he looked tired during the Thunder series. Can Kobe keep pace with the flash and dash that is the Suns offence? Kobe will have to keep pace, as the Lakers lack depth on their bench. This is the X-Factor for the Suns who boast a good bench that will be aided with the return of center Robyn Lopez. Their bench is much better than the Lakers, so if this turns out to be a long series this may spell trouble for the Lakers.

Phoenix has looked very powerful in these playoffs, but come on these are the Lakers. Kobe is the best closer in the game and I doubt that anyone the Suns put on him late in games will be able to contain him when it counts.

Prediction: Lakers in 6

A Ray of Hope

2010-05-10T13:29:00.001-04:00

Steve Nash has led the Phoenix Suns to the Western Conference Finals after a 4-0 sweep of the San Antonio Spurs. The Suns have had much trouble in recent years in the playoffs, but due to the 36 year olds excellent play, the Suns are looking like a contender to win the NBA Championship. They are now looking forward to facing off with the winner of the Lakers vs. Jazz series. With the Lakers up 3-0, it seems as though Nash will be facing off against Kobe and the defending champions in the next round.

While most 36 year olds are on the decline of their NBA careers Steve Nash has continued to step up for his team. In the San Antonio series he led the team with 33 points in Game 1 and continued to outdo his opponents throughout the series. This is an amazing outcome, as the 6 foot 3, 180 lbs. point guard has played in 14 NBA seasons against usually much larger competition. He works as hard as any other player, and usually continues to practice well after team practices conclude. He is a determined guy who wants to bring a championship to Phoenix and will do whatever it takes to get there.

His play is not the only thing that brings attention to the Victoria, British Columbia native. Nash is an exemplary person unlike many other famous athletes, such as Ben Roethlisberger and Tiger Woods. He never gets into any trouble and is the leader of the Suns franchise.

Furthermore, Nash gives back to the community through the Steve Nash Foundation. The Foundation is dedicated to helping underprivileged children in their health, personal development, education and enjoyment of life. So to all my Canadian NBA fans this is the guy to cheer for! He is Mr. Canada for basketball and should be the man everyone cheers for in the remainder of the NBA Playoffs.

Big step for Canadian Soccer

2010-05-07T14:22:00.001-04:00

Major League Soccer (MLS) will welcome the Montreal Impact in the 2012 season. Montreal will become the 3rd Canadian franchise in the league, joining the Toronto FC and Vancouver Whitecaps, who will become a team in 2011. The MLS is very happy with the new franchise, as Montreal already boasts a huge soccer fan base and it will allow the MLS to truly become a North American league.

With 3 teams in Canada it is beginning to show that because of our multicultural society, Canada is a country with a great number of soccer enthusiasts. Growing up more and more children are being exposed to soccer through house leagues and now can watch major league teams in their own marketplace. The move to Montreal will also allow Toronto FC to have a major rival in the MLS.

Toronto FC continues to be Canada’s team at the present so come out and support your team.

Will he stay or will he go?

2010-05-06T11:27:00.000-04:00

Chris Bosh was the face of the franchise for the Toronto Raptors. After finishing the season in 9th place, and out of the playoffs, Bosh was left in a state of distress. He is committed to winning and was not very pleased when his team could not even finish in a playoff seeding. This summer the Raptor star is a free agent. The Raptors would love to re-sign him and give him the maximum contract he deserves, however he is still undecided on what his plan will be for next season.

The fact is that it looks likely the star will be on his way out of town. He was very displeased with his Raptors teammates down the stretch and ended up using his Twitter account to say, “Been wanting to ask. Where should I go next season and why?" An hour later he then recounted saying, “Ok... Let me rephrase the question. Should I stay or should I go?" Even though, the second tweet gives the thought that he may stay in Toronto it is very unlikely. Bosh feels that the Raptors lack depth and he wishes to pursue an NBA Championship. Without some key acquisitions in the offseason Bosh is gone. Given that GM Brian Colangelo committed over $100 million last year to Andrea Bargnani and Hedo Turkoglu over the next 5 years, the Raptors will have to go over the luxury tax threshold in order to attract any additional free agents. This seems unlikely given past spending patterns of the franchise.

Furthermore, Bosh recently updated his Twitter account’s biography by removing his status claiming to be the Raptor’s captain. All I have to say is goodbye CB4, and that he is yet another basketball star on his way out of town. My thoughts are that he will end up in Houston or Chicago. However, it is up to him not me, but I would like to thank him for his time in Toronto. He always gave his best, and was committed to winning for the Raptors up until now. All I can hope now is that Toronto is able to sign one of the many free agents in this summer’s class. What are your thoughts Raptor fans?

Team FanXchange Gives Back…

Hey Fans,

From May 6-8, 2010 Team FanXchange staff members will be participating in the Scotiabank Pro-Am Hockey Tournament. This tournament raises funds to help support research and care in Alzheimer's and related disorders. FanXchange is an opportunistic company that loves to give back to the community. We have taken the opportunity of sponsoring a team for this event in hopes of contributing significantly to the cause.

The tournament provides an opportunity for hockey enthusiasts to team up with former NHL greats in the battle against these devastating diseases. Baycrest is an internationally renowned academic health sciences centre with a focus on the aging brain. Therefore, in partnering with such an organization FanXchange realizes the potential of what their contribution will do for those suffering from Alzheimer’s.

FanXchange set the bar high with an initial fundraising goal of $25,000 but as expected, Team FanXchange went above and beyond and is extremely excited to announce that we have raised over $48,000 for this amazing cause.

Tomorrow, the fun begins with draft night, The more money each team raised the higher their draft pick. Each team gets to draft an NHL Alumni based on the order of how they finished in their fundraising efforts. The NHL Alumni player that is drafted will play on our team for the duration of the tournament. Out of 60 teams, FanXchange is looking at a 14th or 15th pick in the draft (meaning FanXchange finished in the top 15 out of 60). Some of the NHL Alumni being drafted include, Doug Gilmour, Wendel Clark, Guy Lafleur, Gary Leeman, Darryl Sittler, and Gary Roberts to name a few.

Team FanXchange begins play on Friday in the actual tournament with the hopes of winning the Gold!

Some Canadian Hope?

2010-05-04T11:57:00.001-04:00

I am very pleased that 2 Canadian teams remain in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. There has not been a Canadian winner in the Stanley Cup since 1993 when the Canadiens defeated the Kings. This is a crazy thought given that Canada is the hockey nation and comprises the majority of NHL fans. In fact, this year CBC has gotten almost 1.3 million viewers for each playoff game, while the Versus Network in the United States has had 543,000 viewers per game. Canada has a population of just over 30 million, while the United States has a population of over 300 million, yet still we have more viewers in our proud nation.

Canada only makes up 6 of the 30 NHL teams, however does that not mean we should win a cup every 5 years? Our proud nation boasts several World Junior, and Olympic Gold medals during this time, but the fact remains that we need a cup to come home to Canada! Montreal and Vancouver are the 2 Canadian teams left in these playoffs, so as a nation we should support their effort.

The Stanley Cup is Canada’ Superbowl. It is a historical trophy that dates all the way back to 1892! For the last 118 years the Stanley Cup has stood as the symbol of hockey supremacy. It is just under 3-feet tall and 34.5 pounds. It is no easy task to get it, as teams have to endure an 82-game season, and win 16 grueling playoff games. This is what makes it even more gratifying to finally have the chance to lift the Cup over your head in victory. So, I like most Canadians would love to see a member of the Montreal Canadiens or Vancouver Canucks lift what should be a Canadian possession over their heads this spring.

In order to help them get there, support is needed. Log onto FanXchange.com and buy your Habs and Canucks playoff tickets now! They are going quickly and we need the extra patriotic support!

NHL Eastern Conference Playoffs Preview Round 2

2010-04-30T10:43:00.004-04:00

I have to ask...who among you can actually say they picked Montreal to beat Washington? That was one of the biggest surprises in hockey history! Habs fans across Canada must be thinking “In Halak We Trust!” While the West features 4 teams seeded 5th or higher, the East surprisingly has only 1 team that finished in the top 4 seeds. I cannot wait to see which underdog continues to pull through the Eastern conference!

#4 Pittsburgh Penguins vs. #8 Montreal Canadiens:
Montreal was able to beat the Caps, but the Pens bring a team that has had success in the playoffs and are the defending Stanley Cup champions. Pittsburgh boasts a strong offence, including Olympic hero Sidney Crosby, 2009 Conn Smythe winner Evgeni Malkin, and Selke finalist Jordan Staal. They also have a strong set of defensemen, and a much better goaltender than Washington. For Pittsburgh to continue to have success they will have to find a way to score on Halak, and get shots beyond shot blocking expert, Hal Gill.

For Montreal to win they will have to heavily rely on Halak to be amazing once again. They will also need for Cammalleri to continue to score goals like he did in the 1st round. Another weakness for Pittsburgh was their penalty killing, which was 15th among the playoff teams in the 1st round at a paltry 68.2%. Therefore, if the Habs can continue to have success against the penalty killing unit this may be a longer series than we might have though.

Nonetheless, I think that the Cinderella story ends here. Pittsburgh is just too seasoned of a team to make mistakes like the Caps did.
Come check out FanXchange.com for tickets to what promises to be a memorable series!

Prediction: Pittsburgh in 6

#6 Boston Bruins vs. #7 Philadelphia Flyers
Both these teams failed to live up to pre-season expectations during the regular season. Much of it was because of injuries to key players. However, they now have a chance to make up for their regular seasons’ by moving on to the Eastern conference final with a win in this series.

Boston is a team that has surprised many because of Tuuka Rask’s amazing play, and the fact that he supplanted previous Vezina winner, Tim Thomas in Boston’s net. Boston also was able to get through the first round with limited scoring power, as Marc Savard was out for much of the series. We will have to see if he can bounce back in this series and provide a scoring touch.

Philadelphia also surprisingly got some amazing goaltending in the 1st round from Brian Boucher. He led the 1st round in GAA among all goaltenders. This surprised many, as going into the playoffs most thought goaltending was the Flyers’ largest weakness. In order for the Flyers to win this series Mike Richards will need to continue his playoff success along with Chris Pronger, as Gagne and Jeff Carter are nursing injuries. They also need to hope that Boucher can be as good as he was in the New Jersey series.

I really think that this will be an evenly matched series for the most part. If Boston can score I think they will get through the Flyers easily, however that is a big if!

Prediction: Boston in 7

Have a GREAT weekend Fans!

Well, FanX fans what can I say? I was right in predicting the result for all 4 series in the West in Round 1! So, you have to be wondering what my predictions will be for Round 2? I have to say, that all the winners in Round 1 did not look overly dominant. I really thought that teams like Chicago would have wrapped up their series in 5 games. However, this is the NHL Playoffs and series are hard fought out battles that surprise fans all the time! Nonetheless let’s get down to business...

#1 San Jose Sharks vs. #5 Detroit Red Wings:
Oh boy, this is exactly what the Sharks wanted to avoid until the Conference finals. Detroit is a seasoned veteran team that has been to the last two Stanley Cups. They also won 3 of 4 games versus San Jose in the regular season. This begs the question, can San Jose finally have some success in the playoffs? Detroit will ultimately answer the question, as if the Sharks lose again in the 2nd round the franchise will be looking to blame someone. Nonetheless, let us take a look at how these two teams match up.

The Sharks certainly have the edge in goaltending. Nabokov has been to the playoffs several times, while Jimmy Howard is an inexperienced rookie. On defence I would have to give the nod to the Wings, as Nick Lidstrom along with Brian Rafalski always come up big when it comes to crunch time. The Sharks hope that their defence will not play like they did in the 1st round when they had many gaffes including Dan Boyle’s notorious goal on his own team! In looking at scoring, San Jose will need the trio of Joe Thornton, Dany Heatley, Patrick Marleau to step it up. They struggled immensely in the 1st round and if they do not come up big in this round the Sharks may have some troubles. The Wings’ scoring powers did not disappoint in the 1st round and look forward to racking up goals against a shaky Nabakov.

It is my feeling that if the Sharks can generate enough scoring, they may be able to go on to the next round, however this is a big maybe. Let us hope for San Jose’s management’s sake that they move on to the next round.

Prediction: Sharks in 7

#2 Chicago Blackhawks vs. #3 Vancouver Canucks:
This will be a very exciting series. The Canucks have sought revenge ever since they were bounced by the Hawks in last year’s playoffs. Both teams have improved since last year and there is no doubt in my mind that this series will be one for the ages! I am excited to see the two team’s superstar duos face off against one another. Who will bring their game to the next level, the Sedin twins or Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews?

Chicago has surprised many fans by not rushing through the Preds. They were heavily favoured and looked shaky against the Preds. One of their downfalls was Antii Niemi. He will need to be much more solid in net against Vancouver’s scoring powers. Niemi has a serious problem of letting out too many rebounds and there is no doubt in my mind that pesky scorers like Samuelsson may have a great series if this trend continues. The Blackhawks defenders are in my mind stronger than their Canuck counterparts and will need to be at their best to contain the Sedin twins.
Vancouver ended up beating a young Kings team in six games. It was a great series that showed that the Canucks success depends on the Sedin line. In order for the Canucks to have a chance in this series they will need to have the 2nd line step up. Where have Alex burrows and Ryan Kessler gone. They were great in the regular season and will need to show up against the Hawks. They are primary components to the Canuck’s penalty kill and struggled against LA, having only a 61.5% in killing penalties.

I really am having a hard time deciding a winner in this series because both teams need to win for their fans. Chicago is a team that has the longest Stanley Cup drought in the NHL, and the Canucks franchise is yet to win one. Therefore, in showing my Canadian pride I hope that Bobby-Lu and the Sedin twins come out with a good show.

Prediction: Canucks in 7

Bieber Fever! FanXchange has your Tickets!

2010-04-27T10:38:00.003-04:00

Hey Fans,

Did anyone see the madness yesterday in Sydney, Australia. Thousands of Justin Bieber fans camped out awaiting a concert by the 16 year old teen sensation only to be disappointed. The venue opened early to those waiting in line and a rush to get in ensued. The swarming led to several young girls being injured, and ultimately the concert being cancelled leaving thousands angry. Who would have believed that a young kid from our own backyard of Strathroy, Ontario could cause such chaos!

Luckily for all you young Canadian fans FanXchange has you covered. Bieber will be coming to Canada this summer. The Canadian stops include Toronto on August 21, London on August 22, and Ottawa on the 24th.

Come out and show your Canadian pride! Ever since Bieber was discovered through YouTube by his manager Scooter Braun, there has been no stopping him. Braun arranged for Justin to meet with R&B legend Usher, who would be a large influence on the prodigy’s flourishing career, and would sign him later to a record deal. Since then Bieber has had great success rising to the top of the charts with both his 1st album, My World, and his 2nd, My World 2.0.

Obviously, fans have hit a new high with Bieber Fever which nonetheless means tickets have been sold out for weeks! Therefore, FanXchange is your source to get tickets and stop your fever!

Spiller a Big Score for Bills

2010-04-23T11:00:00.003-04:00

Hey Fans,

So with a suprise pick in last night's NFL Entry Draft the Buffalo Bills selected Clemson tailback C.J. Spiller. Personally, we predicted they were going to go out and fill a need at Quarterback but with the Bills like always they keep you guessing to the last minute. For everyone out there not too familar with C.J. Spiller have a look at this article from Bills.com.

http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-3/Spiller-a-big-score-for-Bills/990b1e24-df6a-4e75-8b43-14213e67e889

Have a great weekend Fans!

The Bills Have a lot of Hills to Climb: Let us begin with tonight’s draft

2010-04-22T10:22:00.002-04:00

The Buffalo Bills’ fans are a loyal bunch. The last time the team made the NFL playoffs was the 1999 season. This was the end of a promising decade for the team, in which they made 4 Super Bowls. It was also the end of the team showing any promise at quarterback. The team featured the likes of Jim Kelly and Doug Flutie for most of the decade, but since then have not been able to show any promise at the position. This brings us to tonight’s NFL Draft. Should the Bills use their pick on one of the many promising quarterbacks featured in the draft? Trent Edwards is not a quarterback who can lead the team to the playoffs. Also of note is that the Pittsburgh Steelers have made mention that they are willing to part ways with recently suspended Ben Roethlisberger for the right price. This could be Buffalo’s highly coveted 9th pick in the draft. Given the fact that Roethlisberger will be suspended for up to 6 games this season, this may not be the way for the Bills to have a chance at getting into the playoffs this season.

Alternatively, this year’s draft has several young promising quarterbacks the Bills could select at tonight’s draft. They include: Sam Bradford, Jimmy Clausen, Tim Tebow, Tony Pike, and Colt McCoy.

Bradford is likely to be taken 1st by the Rams, however Clausen is a very promising young gun who played in a pro style offence at Notre Dame. There are scepticisms about his size, which may lead the Bills to look to scooping up a pick at another position. The Bills have many gaping holes in their roster, so we all might be surprised with who they decide to go with. The draft is deep at many positions, so no doubt whoever they pick will fulfill a need on the team.

Having said this, we are in for a very interesting season for the Bills, and what better way to show your support then to come watch them in Toronto when they play the Chicago Bears at the Rogers Centre on November 7. The Bears will be an exciting team to watch that boasts Jake ‘The Snake” Cutler at QB and a powerhouse defence led by Julius Peppers.

GET YOUR TICKETS CHEAP! THE JAYS ARE YOUNG AND ON THE RISE!

2010-04-20T14:05:00.001-04:00

Long gone are the days where the Skydome, (now the Rogers Centre) was packed with over 50,000 Blue Jays’ faithful. We all miss the days of Joe Carter blasting home runs over the left field wall, and Robbie Alomar exciting us with his great defensive ability. In a league where there is no salary cap, the Jays have to deal with the two of the league’s greatest spending powers in the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. The Yankees are spending over $205 million on their 2010 roster, while the Red Sox come in 2nd in the MLB coming in at just over $162 million. What is a team to do when their division rivals spend more in one year than most teams spend over 2 years?

Well...new GM Alex Anthopoulos thinks that we can’t outspend them, so much like Tampa Bay we must develop our farm system and develop young players into future stars. Having said that, the Jays boast a roster that is young and upcoming. We have two young stars in Aaron Hill and Travis Snider. Both players are rapidly becoming presences in the league and will hopefully continue to do so in the future.

The Jays are currently in 3rd in the AL East at 8-6 and have played well for a team playing without Aaron Hill who will continue to be sidelined until Friday when he will make his return against the Tampa Bay Rays. Having said this, why are fans not showing up at the Rogers Centre? Is this purely a hockey town? Just 5 days after setting the stadium’s record for lowest attendance (10,619) the Jays once again plummeted to a new low last night with only 10, 314 fans showing up. I know we are not the Yankees or Red Sox, but come on Torontonians we are the only Canadian team and what better way to show your patriotism than to show up to the ballpark on cheer on Canada’s team! Tickets are really cheap right now and are even going for 50% of face value...so come on down, have a beer and relax while you watch this up and coming young team at the Rogers Centre!

UFC 115: THE FIGHT CONTINUES OUT WEST:

2010-04-19T09:42:00.001-04:00

Hey Fans,

On June 12, MMA fans in Vancouver will have a chance to see the Ultimate Fighting Championship for the first time live in their city. Vancouver is only the 2nd Canadian city to host a UFC event following the lead of Montreal. MMA has not yet been sanctioned by the Ontario government, so it does not look likely for Toronto fans to see the action in the near future.

While the event presale began this week, casual fans did not even have a chance to purchase tickets, as all tickets were gone in less than 30 minutes during the pre-sale. It was the fastest sell-out in UFC history, demonstrating the Canadian enthusiasm for this type of combat. The pre-sale included those who are members of the UFC Fight Club, the UFC's official fan club. These members had the chance to put down a $75 deposit to purchase in advance. Lucky for them...now tickets can only be found on the secondary market, including sites like FanXchange.com. While tickets were pre-sold starting at $76 ranging to $601 it is unlikely the general public will find a seat for such low prices. The closer it gets to the event the higher prices will become, so get your tickets now!

The fight is being headlined by the “Iceman” Chuck Liddell who will take on Rich Franklin. The ticket also includes fighters, such as: Mirko Crocop, Paulo Thiago, Tyson Griffin, and Ben Rothwell. Are you salivating already? There is no doubt in our mind that on June 12, General Motors Place will be the place to be!

FanXchange's Western Conference Playoff Preview and Predictions

2010-04-16T10:31:00.002-04:00

On to the Wild West Coast we go...

#1 San Jose Sharks vs. #8 Colorado Avalanche

Let us all hope for San Jose’s sake, that the acquisition of Dany Heatley can help them from falling out of the first round as they have in previous years. Hopefully, the three-headed monster of a line in Dany Heatley, Joe Thornton, and Patrick Marleau can provide a scoring touch for a team in dire need of progressing through the Western Conference. This trio was clutch in the Olympics for Team Canada, and hopefully for Sharks fans this can lead to some playoff success.

Alternatively, the Avs come back from a short hiatus from the playoffs sporting a young and hungry team lead by Matt Duchene and Paul Stastny. Clutch goaltending will be a key proponent to the series, as we have seen Nabokov struggle in net for the Sharks during the playoffs. Craig Anderson has been a great pickup for the Avs after signing in the offseason. Anderson comes up big when it counts and may be an X-factor in the series.

Hopefully, the trio of Canadians can bring some excitement to the HP Pavilion. The Pepsi Center is always wild during the playoffs, so get your tickets now at FanXchange.com

Prediction: Sharks in 7

#2 Chicago Blackhawks vs. #7 Nashville Predators

Can the young Hawks take the success of their regular season into the playoffs? The young squad has a ton of scoring power and boasts three great lines. They are a very talented team that has both offence and defence. Furthermore, they boast some of Canada’s greatest contributors in the Olympics: Toews, Keith, and Seabrook. Nashville really lacks the scoring power to keep up with the young Hawks. The only thing that the Preds may rely on is strong goaltending from Pekka Rinne and the blasting shot of Shea Weber.

In the past few years the Hawks have been packing the United Center, and the atmosphere has become raucous! Show your support in Chi-town and the city better known for Country music than hockey.

Prediction: Hawks in 5

#3 Vancouver Canucks vs. #6 Los Angeles Kings

Let’s get back on the bandwagon...For the 1st time since Gretzky left town in the late 1990’s Kings fans are showing up at the Staples Center. Why? Well, they are an exciting young team led by Drew Doughty, who has been compared to among others...Bobby Orr.

The Canucks on the other hand have been in the playoffs recently but have not had much success due to lack of toughness. Hopefully, the Canucks can depend on stellar goaltending from Bobby-Lu and the scoring prowess of the Sedin twins.
The Canucks provide Canada’s best chance at success in these playoffs, so as a patriot I hope that they have some playoff success.

There is no doubt in my mind that GM Place will be rocking again, as it was during the Olympics. Get your tickets now, before they are all gone!

Prediction: Canucks in 6

#4 Phoenix Coyotes vs. #5 Detroit Red Wings

The Wings did not start the season off too well due to a great deal of injuries. However, since the Olympic break the Wings have been one of the hottest teams in the NHL, and are looking to continue their success into the postseason. While they are the lower seed, the Wings look to be the favourite, as the Coyotes have not been in the Playoffs since 2002.

Things are looking up for the Coyotes franchise, as they have a new “lease” on life so to speak. Tickets have been selling at a much greater pace with the team’s success leading into the playoffs. No doubt, those that have not came out to Coyotes games in the past will be there to see the Red Wings who tend to be a popular opponent in the Glendale arena.

Joe Louis Arena in Detroit is Hockeytown USA! This arena is one of the best places to see an NHL game and gets even crazier during the playoffs.
The big question in this series is who will be better; Ilya Bryzgalov or Detroit’s Swedish scorers?

Prediction: Detroit in 7

FanXchange's Eastern Conference Playoff Preview and Predictions

2010-04-15T14:51:00.012-04:00

The Playoffs have begun and are filled with a number of exciting matchups! FanXchange.com is your source to not only attend these much anticipated games, but to give insight on what makes each and every 1st round matchup attractive to the viewer. There are three Canadian teams in action and we hope that you will show your support by checking out your Hometown Team Live!

Let us begin in Washington where The #1 Capitals faceoff vs. The #8 Montreal Canadiens.

The Capitals have had much success during the regular season, having won the President’s trophy. The team looks to take this success and go straight for the cup! The team’s playoff logo is “26 Guys, 1 Team, 1 Goal!” That goal being the Stanley Cup. While in past years the Caps have lacked playoff success, they are looking to end it this year beginning against Montreal.

The Canadiens come into this series as an 8 seed which does not bring them much hope, however given that the Canadiens have an NHL leading 24 Stanley Cups they look to continue their success in the playoffs by fighting hard to upset the Caps.
The flashy Caps offence may be too much for the Canadiens. The team lives and dies through Ovechkin and Semin, among others. If Montreal can shut the duo down, they will have a great chance of moving on. In our own opinion, the duo will just be too much for Montreal and leave the Canadiens golfing in May.

The tickets for these games are selling quickly, as much like Montreal, Washington has packed the house at the Verizon Center. The atmosphere in both venues will be electric!

Prediction: Caps in 5

#2 New Jersey Devils vs. #7 Philadelphia Flyers

This series is intriguing not only because the two cities are in such close proximity to one another, but because of the goaltending matchup. It is simply one of experience in Martin Brodeur against Brian Boucher who has literally no experience. Playoff hockey is all about good goaltending, so if New Jersey is going to have any success they will need Brodeur to utilize his experience in taking the team to the promised land.

The Devils are a defensive minded team, while the Flyers bring a powerful scoring attack, especially on the power play. The Flyers were very successful against Jersey this year having posted a 5-1 record in head to head matchups. The biggest question will be if Ilya Kovalchuk can show up in these playoffs after being traded to New Jersey near the trade deadline to enhance their scoring touch during their playoff drive. Brodeur will also be looking to become only the second goalie to record 100 career wins in the NHL Playoffs.

This series will continue a great rivalry of nearby cities. Why not check out a home game at each venue if you live in the area?

Prediction: Devils in 7

#3 Buffalo Sabres vs. #6 Boston Bruins

To all my fellow Leaf fans, I hate to say it but another season without the playoffs may mean we should look to other markets to catch some playoff action. Why not make the cross border trip to Buffalo and enjoy some playoff hockey. We have your tickets, and playoff hockey as we know from past years is an experience like no other!

Anyways, back to business. Ryan Miller not only led the Americans to a silver medal, but backstopped his Sabres squad to a third place finish in the Eastern Conference. He is the one goalie in the NHL who if he gets hot, I would not want to face. Is it going to be “MILLER TIME”?
Tuuka hopes to bring a Rask of hope for the Bruins in net. This former Leaf draft pick has had an amazing year in Boston and hopes to gain success in his first NHL Playoffs. He will need to be very good in net, as the Bruins lack a scoring touch. Both teams tend to be defensive minded, but the play will dictate who has the hotter goalie.

Prediction: Sabres in 6

#4 Pittsburgh Penguins vs. #5 Ottawa Senators

These two teams are becoming heated rivals, having faced off against one another in 3of the past 4 years. It will all come down to if Ottawa’s young defensemen can contain the two headed monster of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. To us, that is very unlikely, however the Sens did not get this far without some great scoring of their own. It should be a high scoring series that will be very exciting for all. To all Ottawa residents: Support your team and just remember you can also support Mr. Gold (Sidney Crosby) who helped the Canadian Olympic team score a Gold just a few months ago.

Prediction: Pittsburgh in 6

Stay tuned for our Western Conference Preview and Predictions tomorrow.

Rising loonie good news for Canadian NHL clubs

2009-10-29T11:14:00.004-04:00

Hey Fans,

How's everyone doing on this lovely late October day? Anyone pumped after the Raptors ripped apart King James and the Cavs at the ACC last night? Bosh for MVP? Maybe a bit premature, haha.
Anyways, we came across this great article in the Toronto Star today about the effect that the strengthening Canadian dollar is having on the NHL teams in Canada. Not only are the economic fortunes of the current Canadian teams in Canada rising but other Canadian cities are becoming more attractive spots for teams to re-locate or new franchises to be created. Have a read if you get a chance it's quite interesting and who knows it might not be long before we see a rise in the number of NHL teams that call the Great White North home!
