SportsNet – Quick Shifts: Panthers slyly shift all pressure on Maple Leafs
Either Fox is fucking stupid or he’s being doing Chinese Math with Roman Numerals instead of watching the games. There was nothing sly about the Panthers shifting the pressure to the Maple Leafs and the Panthers have used the TO media that thinks that the earth revolves around that big spike to their advantage. The Turtle has been at his aggravating best and Bennett is reprising the dirty tricks he learned with the Flames as he leads the only panthers still in Florida, the stray alley cats.

One interesting pedigree note this year is a possible exacta box with Forte and Two Phil’s, and this may hit an emotional note more than a scientific one. Forte’s maternal grandsire Blame and Two Phil’s’ maternal great-grandsire Birdstone are both stamina-heavy stallions who probably caused more grief to racing fans than any horses in memory. To this day there still are tens of thousands of fans who refuse to watch Blame’s Breeders’ Cup Classic victory over their beloved Zenyatta, who was only inches from a 20-race undefeated career, and Birdstone’s Belmont Stakes victory over Smarty Jones, one of the most popular horses ever who was only yards away from being an undefeated Triple Crown winner, but was basically ganged up on by the jockeys of his main opponents. This is a totally believable exacta that would finally give these two horses (Birdstone is now actually pensioned) some well-deserved positive press.
Speaking of Two Phil’s, for those who feel his sire Hard Spun might be compromised at 10 furlongs, Hard Spun’s dam is by Turkoman, who ran one of the fastest Marlboro Cups ever and placed in the Breeders’ Cup Classic, Jockey Club Gold Cup, and Travers, out of a half-sister to Belmont and Preakness winner Little Current, by English Derby winner Roberto.
