Manchester United travelled to Wolverhampton today to play the Wanderers in the 4th round of the FA Cup. Both teams started in a 4-3-3 formation which really helped to keep the flow of the game going. Well it kept the game flowing in one direction anyway.

Ryan, What Are You Doing?

The Oilers were in Phoenix last night to play the Desert Dogs in a Western Conference showdown. The last time these teams met was back in October when the Coyotes skated away with an overtime victory. Was this time any different? Kinda.
The Dogs got the first goal of the game on what was a rather [...]
