UEFA will decide about Ibrahimovic tomorrow



PSG's appeal about Ibrahimovic's punishment will be considered by UEFA tomorrow. The Swedish striker was punished not to play for two games after his direct red card after he fauled Valencia's defender from Mexican origin Andres Guardado during the first game of the 8th finals of Champions League. Now he has to miss the tough game against Barcelona during the qarter finals. UEFA may approve of PSG's demands tomorrow, but could as well decide to prolong Ibrahimovic's punishment. PSG's fans will have a very tense day, as UEFA's decision may put their team in a very bad situation.

NHL Classic- Detroit-Chicago

                          
 
NHL season is going towards the mid-season. The entire league is impressd by one phenomenal streak. The 22 consecutive point games of the Chicago Blackhawks. Starting from the opening day with the La Kings and ending to the great rivalry game yesterday against the  Detroit Red Wings. Yesterday the game fo the week match on NHL on NBC was a thriller. Detroit and Jimmy Howard was saving absolutely everything. Chicago had complete domination over the first two periods. However, in the third Detroit came back and a great goal by Tatar seemed to be enough to end the extraordinary sterak of the Hawks. However in the last two minutes due to some awful delay of game penalties Chicago and Patrick Kane equalized. This turned the game. There were no golas in OT. And then in the shootout a great performance by Corey Crawford and again a brilliant Patrick Kane's style goal ended the game and continued the streak. This made Chicago Blakhawks the second best team in the entire NHL history. Now the quest for the playoffs continues, but there is one certain thing. Chicago are the main favorites to win Lord Stanley once again.
