By junior on May 30, 2009, at 8:10 am Live Clean, Sweet Pea!
On the edge of the sink in our bathroom stands a bottle of liquid hand soap.
“LIVE CLEAN,” announces the label. Appearing below the brand name, in slightly smaller type, are the words “Sweet Pea.” I choose to read the label – each and every time I use the bathroom […]
By junior on May 25, 2009, at 1:15 am 2009 Memorial Cup Champions – Mickey Renaud's Jersey Front & Centre
It had no effect on the players, of course. It couldn’t have – most of the guys wearing Spitfire sweaters today weren’t even born when it happened, so how could it have any effect on them? Nonsense. It did, though, have an effect […]

Congratulations to the Windsor Spitfires – and the City of Windsor – on the Spits’ first Memorial Cup victory. Windsor becomes the first team ever to win the Cup after going down 0-2 in the round robin portion of the […]
By junior on May 24, 2009, at 4:29 pm Go Spits Go, One More Time This Year!
I will be watching on a slight tape delay for much of the first part of the game – yard chores kept me a little bit later than I thought today – so don’t nobody call me on the phone and be giving me updates about […]
By junior on May 23, 2009, at 8:28 pm Popeye has a habit of standing at the top of the hill behind the house, just over the property line so that he’s technically all four feet firmly on the neighbour’s property. Next door to us, there is a fairly large farm, and the edges of the fields – as you might imagine – get […]

The OHL Champion Spitfires dropped their first two games of the Memorial Cup tournament (to Drummondville and Rimouski) before beating Western powerhouse Kelowna to force a tiebreaker on Thursday night vs. […]
By junior on May 22, 2009, at 7:14 pm We’re underway.
Go Spits Go!!! I believe!
First period: Two early chances for Taylor Hall, then a frantic series in the Windsor zone at about the 3 minute mark in which Engelage is down and out and Adam Henrique collapses to the front of his goal (I think) and makes a terrific block […]
By junior on May 22, 2009, at 12:05 am Hipster Doofus Makes Good With Clutch Hattie
First period: The best early scoring chance went to Rimouski; Spitfires goaltender Andrew Engelage stood tall on a long two on one and made an excellent save with his right arm on a quick wrist shot. There was another amusing moment when Windsor’s Adam Henrique finished his […]
By junior on May 19, 2009, at 10:28 pm Go Spits Go!! I still believe…!!
This tournament owes us one, dammit. I still believe.
After dropping round robin games to Drummondville and Rimouski to kick off the tournament, the Spitfires faced off tonight against a Kelowna Rockets team that had already clinched a berth in the Tournament Final on Sunday. Whereas the Spits […]
By junior on May 18, 2009, at 10:29 pm I promise I will post something about last weekend’s bizarre gardening accident soon; I really did mean to put the finishing touches on the tale today, but – for reasons that will become apparent when you read the story – I have been taking some pain killers that make a nice sunny day a sort […]
