Chelsea?s Number 9: Nine Games, 0 Goals. Why isn?t Torres scoring?
Fernando Torres has now gone nine Chelsea appearances without scoring a single goal. He has appeared three times in the Champions League and made six appearances in the Premiership where he has started all but one league game. So why is El Nino failing to live up to his prolific goal scoring reputation?
Just like Didier Drogba, Torres has been used to playing within a set-up where he is the primary figure and is almost always the first choice. Since arriving in the Premiership, Torres has scored 65 times and accompanied with his impressive performances throughout the qualification for Euro 2008 and South Africa 2010, there is no doubt Fernando is one of the top front men in the world.
Old Torres
During Torres?s time at Anfield, he was paired with a variety of partners but Torres has usually benefited when he receives the most service, playing as a lone striker. It is no secret that Torres was in his best form when he worked together with Steven Gerrard. With Stevie?s influential pre...

Wilcox Shines as Pistons Make it Look Easy
Chris Wilcox had quite a night and was the key figure as the Detroit Pistons (28-51) defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 110-100 (32-47). Wilcox scored 27 points on 12 of 18 shooting, he also grabbed 13 boards in the process. The Bucks were led by Brandon Jennings, as he scorched the Pistons for 31 points, the second consecutive game the Pistons have allowed a opposing player to score over 30 points (Brook Lopez scored 39 points on Wednesday). The game was never really in doubt, except early on in the 3rd quarter, as the Pistons led the game from the 1:21 mark in the 1st quarter all the way to the final buzzer.
The first quarter was a tightly contested contest as Brandon Jennings was keeping Milwaukee in the game, but Chris Wilcox scored 8 points early on to help spot the Pistons a 5 point lead after the first quarter. The game seemed easy for Detroit, as they were scoring easy baskets and looking� like a cohesive unit. This trend continued in the second quarter as they took a 4 point lead...

Toronto Maple Leafs Sign Draft Pick Greg McKegg
Toronto Maple Leafs General Manager Brian Bruke has signed his original draft pick from the 2010 NHL Draft, Greg Mckegg who is now on a three year entry deal. �McKegg is 6? 190 lbs forward and was draft in the 3rd round, 62nd overall last season; he will start his AHL career with the Toronto Marlies today, but play his first AHL game on Saturday. McKegg has had an impressive OHL career so far; in his rookie season he only had 18 points. But in his sophomore season McKegg jumped up to scoring 37 goals, 48 assist for 85 points. This season McKegg was named Captain of the Erie Otters and has improved on his performance by scoring 49 goals and 43 assist for 92 points. His goal total was good for 2nd in the OHL and his point total was good for 8th overall in the scoring race. I recommend that all Leaf fans should follow McKegg amateur career closely, as I do believe we have a diamond in the rough and players like Nazem Kadri and Joe Colborne will over shadow McKegg, even though he can be...
