The 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs (Series scheduled from April to June)

We’re deep in the 2018 National Hockey League playoffs and the action on the ice is fierce.

The teams entered the rink on April 11^thto compete for professional hockey’s highest honor, the Stanley Cup. The front-runners for this year’s championship title are the Pittsburgh Penguins but they face a tough contender in Tampa Bay’s team. They have a history of close calls in regard to tournament wins—last year they missed the playoffs by only one point—but experts are still sticking with the Penguins.

Come into Greeley early to watch the games and enjoy our NHL “McBreakfast Biscuit,”a buttermilk biscuit sandwich with one egg, American cheese, sausage, bacon or ham and a side of breakfast potatoes. Add an Irish Coffee to keep you warm as you watch the players on the ice.

The Kentucky Derby (Saturday, May 5)

The trumpet rings out, the gates are thrown open—and down the track they go—dirt flying up from thundering hooves as they round the track towards the finish line during horse racing’s biggest event of the year; the Kentucky Derby.

The Kentucky Derby is the first leg of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, followed by the Preakness Stakes on May 19^thand the Belmont Stakes on June 9^th. Over 150,000 fans will watch the races live at Churchill Downs, but you don’t have to fight those crowds! Come down to Greeley Avenue Bar for a front row seat at the most famous horse race in the world. Enjoy a Mint Julep, the official drink of the Derby, while you’re watching the races.

With two great sporting events to watch, you’ll want to enjoy it in the comfort of North Portland’s favorite neighborhood sports bar, Greeley Avenue Bar & Grill!

Baseball Season Is Here! (even if the weather keeps denying it’s Spring)

Even though half the nation can’t get out from under several inches of snow, the baseball diamonds are green and ready for exciting major league baseball. Come on down to Greeley Avenue Bar & Grillto forget the winter and revel in the game of summer!

The 2017 season saw the Astros cruising to their first World Series win, with 101 victorious games racked up throughout the season, due to one of the best offenses ever seen in the MLB. But, can they hold their standing in the 2018 season? So far, yes. Their game has become a lot stronger this winter and there are many analysts who are surprised that a month before the camps opened in January they were easily in the number one spot in the 2018 projected standings.

So, here’s the prections for the top five teams of 2018::

1. Astros, 98 wins
2. Dodgers, 94 wins
3. Indians, 93 wins
4. Cubs, 92 wins
5. (3-way tie) Yankees, Red Sox and Nationals, 91 wins

Image by: UC International

Of course, these projections can be upended by unexpected injuries, trades, and breakout players that outperform their reputations leading up to the season, but right now the bets are on the Astros to come out on top of the  seven teams they predict will win 90 or more games throughout the season.

It’s March Madness! Go Crazy at Greeley Avenue Bar

March Madness is here and the crowd at Greeley Avenue Bar is ready to host NCAA fans all month long.

Selection Sunday is this weekend, March 11^th, and for college basketball fans this means the start of a fast and furious month that will lead up to intense play during the final four. The teams have been showing a lot of skill and strategy on the court this season that will all culminate in what should be an amazing showdown in the Final Four games.

Come down to Greeley Avenue Bar & Grill with your brackets and enjoy a beer as you watch the action unfold on our twelve big screen TVs. Here are the teams the Internet experts are predicting may go all the way.  

Kansas Jayhawks

Andrew Hammond of the website Fansided is going with Villanova, Virginia, Xavier and Kansas as the Final Four. Xavier might be a bit of a stretch after their loss to Villanova, but Hammond is relying on the stats that say Xavier is ranking 3^rd in the RPI, 5^th in strength of schedule and a spectacular 24 wins, which is the same as Villanova and Virginia.

The Kansas vs. Michigan State match-up for the last spot on the top seed line will be close but he’s predicting the Jayhawks will take it based on their overall season. KU may have five less wins than Michigan State (21-26), but the wins are technically better, particularly within the conference.

In the end, Hammond predicts that Kansas will take the championship ring.

Michigan Wolverines

USA Today reporter Scott Gleeson believes that it’ll boil down to Michigan. They continue to rack up wins and their games are strong. They’ve been consistently getting better since November and they are really performing at a high level going into the tournament. Defensive coach John Beilein has the best players he’s ever had and they have mastered a fluid, balanced offense that gives them a strong chance to take it all the way.

Virginia

Paul Kasabain of the Bleacher Report says Virginia is a good bet to win the tournament. The top scoring defense by the Cavaliers has allowed for 52.8 points per game and the Pomeroy college basketball ratings also have them ranked as the most efficient team in the nation in terms of their defense. And, don’t overlook their offense. UVA has ranked 32nd in the nation thanks to a 38.9 percent rate and their consistent 3-pointer shooters. Their players are superb, with sophomore guard Kyle Guy leading the Virginia Cavaliers with 13.9 points per game.

Bring your bracket sheets and watch the games with us at Greeley Avenue Bar & Grill, the best neighborhood sports bar in North Portland!
