Pierre McGuire: Blind or Just Obsequious?

Not pictured: Tin Foil Hat Mr. McGuire Should Be Wearing

Like most of Canada this time of year, I was watching Canada/Czech Republic at the World Junior Hockey Championship from Buffalo last night on TSN. For the second game in a row, Team Canada started in a bit of a sleepwalking mode and surrendered […]

Merry Christmas 2010

Neither a Hall, Nor a Bough of Holly. Contains One Fewer Ball Than Most Brett Favre Pictures

A very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone who’s visited this blog this year! May the season be spent with those with whom you are close, and may you share laughter, a […]

Seasons’ Bleatings

Hey, at least they're not vampires.

I am pretty sure the…uh….Maple Leafs Wizard (?) on the right is asking somebody – anybody – to pull his finger. If I were that…uh…Maple Leafs Penguin Snowman (?), I would take a few steps to the left, lickety split.

I have no idea what […]

The CFL: Yours to Kick Around

The CFL isn’t a lot of things. It isn’t Hollywood; it isn’t the Big Time; it isn’t the NFL. It’s an eight team league that plays a variety of football not played anywhere else on the planet (unless there’s some sort of Bring Back the Posse tribute league in Vegas about which I have been […]

Leafs Fans: If God Hates Us…

Tyler Seguin will outscore Phil Kessel tonight. There is an outside chance that it will be mentioned that Toronto traded a draft pick that became Mr. Seguin in order to obtain Mr. Kessel tonight. The over/under on the number of total references to this fact is the first Vegas over/under line in history to […]

We’ve Got A Team

It’s between the second and third period of the game against the Penguins as I type this. The Leafs are up 4-3 following another late period surge by the Penguins.

I am prepared to decree that we have a team. We have a team that skates hard and forces turnovers. We have a team that […]

Who the F%#% is Tim Brent?

Questions Will Become Answers: Tim Brent Edition ('shop lifted from a comment by loserdomi on PPP)

Who the fuck is Tim Brent? It’s a question that has circulated in the Barilkosphere – sometimes semi-seriously, mostly in jest – since some time after he signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs organization as a free agent […]

Happy Thanksgiving

Office Wendel Oversees My Productivity at Work. Imagine how little I'd get done if he weren't threre threatening to punch my blood out?

Wendel (well, actually my framed autographed picture of him – that is, the one I keep in my office, not the one I keep at home) wishes you […]

Maple Leafs 2010-2011: Game On(e)!

Watched the Leafs’ home opener last night; originally scheduled to be at a prenatal class, my plans changed when Spouse came down with a cold. Because of work thingys, I ended up getting home a little late, which was fine because we could PVR the game. It rocks skipping over commercials, and my timing was […]

The Maple Leafs Song: A Video Tribute

Last week, I shared with you The Maple Leafs Song, my homage to Adam Sandler and truculence.

In honour of the commencement of the 2010-2011 NHL Regular Season tonight, I give you once again, The Maple Leafs Song – now with BRAND NEW VIDEO GOODNESS! (I learned that last bit from a marketing guy).
