Online sportsbook and casino sites are already posting odds as to who will win the Stanley Cup in 2007. Ottawa and Detroit are the favourites, currently 6-1. Of the six Canadian teams in the NHL, my beloved Toronto Maple Leafs have been given the smallest chance to win it all.
Wedding Crashers: 5 out of 10. Sigh. Where have all the good comedies gone? "Wedding Crashers" was too long, too predictable, and not particularly funny. Sure, I chuckled a few times, but there were no belly laughs. When I saw "There's Something About Mary", I remember belly laughs. Where the
