James Mirtle pulls off a minor miracle by writing about the Maple Leafs, the trade deadline and Mats Sundin – all while retaining his sanity and a modicum of common sense (I wonder if common sense comes in any units other than “modicums”? If you buy common sense at Costco, is it in a jeroboam instead?). I thought one had to trade in hysteria and partially completed thoughts to make any kind of career writing about the NHL in general and the Maple Leafs in particular. No fair throwing facts and reasoned arguments into the mix, James!
Well… after a jeroboam don’t you just have a hang over?
