By junior on October 1, 2011, at 6:19 pm Jim Nill, Assistant General Manager, Detroit Red Wings, agrees that predicting how a player will develop, and if he will at all, is one of the toughest parts of amateur scouting. The varying development cycles of prospects, not only physically but mentally and emotionally, too, all make amateur scouting a head spinner.

By A Ninja on August 20, 2011, at 11:18 am A Ninja, doing the hokey pokey
You may have noticed that this blog has fallen dormant over the last little while. I am a ninja, and I am here to tell you about that. Why has a ninja been sent to explain these things? Fool! It is not the right time for you […]
By junior on April 12, 2011, at 11:00 am Round and round and round they go, where they stop, nobody knows except that everybody knows it's not here.
Noted fishwrapper/parakeet cage liner the Toronto Star has news today that is guaranteed to fan the already raging nationalistic fire that burns so brightly among many about the state of professional hockey. […]

Somebody at this Brantford Garden Centre has a brand new Leaf fan in the family (Click image for larger version).
I was rushing home from the office with a hot meal for a sickly Spouse (I cook only the best take out dishes), late for an appointment at the bank to clean up […]

Attention Mr. Cole: Eight birds might not actually be able to lift a whale out of the ocean.
Cam Cole wrote a ridiculous article today about social media and the National Hockey League trade deadline.
Cole mentions that during the intense discussions surrounding today’s NHL trade deadline, many people availed themselves of […]
By junior on February 27, 2011, at 10:34 pm Yes, I really wish the Leafs could’ve managed to hold on to either:
(a) a one goal third-period lead vs. Pittsburgh on Saturday; OR
(b) a two goal lead vs. Atlanta this afternoon.
…but I’m really more worried about James Reimer. He’s looking more and more like the future of our team between the pipes.

Still Flying the Colours
About an hour ago, everybody watching the World Junior Hockey Championships (including the half dozen viewers south of the border in Bronzeland*) saw one of the most gutsy comebacks in the history of junior hockey unfold on our television screens.
Trailing 3-0 at the outset of the third period […]
By junior on December 29, 2010, at 3:57 pm My earlier post on Pierre McGuire’s controversial system of anatomy was picked up by Puck Daddy. Kudos to Greg Wyshynski for choosing to shine a light on Pierre’s ridiculous dissembling about this hit.
A few minutes after I posted the video (and my writing on the subject) last night, I saw another clip on TSN […]
By junior on December 29, 2010, at 1:08 am 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 […]
By junior on October 28, 2010, at 12:21 pm 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 […]
