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 […]

I was at the Leafs game last night in Toronto; they beat Columbus 3-1. All 4 goals were scored in the first period, which reinforced my belief that my buddy and I made the right choice – staying in our seats throughout the first frame and starving rather than going for a nine dollar hot […] I got an email from Ticketmaster the other day, one of the thirty or forty thousand they send me every year asking me to attend everything from the Backyardigans (um, dude, I don’t have any kids, which would make it Michael Jackson creepy for me to be hanging around that show) to various military tattoos […] I just got a call from a friend who’s telling me that TSN is reporting that John Ferguson Junior has been fired by the Leafs and that Cliff Fletcher is rumoured to be on the way back in an interim capacity.

No sooner had I set the […] I wrote yesterday’s post, about the now almost certainly imminent demise of Maple Leaf head coach Paul Maurice, sometime in the afternoon. Later that same night, the Leafs went out and watched the Coyotes beat them 5-1. They offered approximately the same amount of resistance to the Coyotes as drifts of snow offer to howling […] I haven’t dipped into the MSM today to check on the status of Paul Maurice’s job as Leaf head coach, but man oh man, things are not looking good for him from where I sit. First, let me say this: Paul seems like a decent fellow and I have quite enjoyed listening to him […] Admittedly, it is difficult to point to a document entitled “Barry Melrose Rocks” with a straight face and claim some sort of vindication. Nevertheless, on the subject of Bryan McCabe, I plan to do so. Here is what was recently written on that site concerning the Leaf blueliner: …Toronto running Bryan McCabe out of town. […] Look, I’ve badmouthed Bryan McCabe over the last couple of days. I’m not saying I haven’t. I’m not saying you shouldn’t. I’m just saying that maybe the folks raining boos down upon him from the newly-humidified rafters of the Air Canada Centre ought to reflect upon the legitimacy of their booing. First, the facts.
