Some thoughts on volume 1 of Darin Cappe’s Static Journey “box set” retrospective on the Rheostatics (you can get it here): I was a little disappointed initially that the first track in the set – position of primacy, very important – was not in fact a Rheostatics track, but rather the Introduction for the band […] A couple of things, really quickly. One, I can’t let this day go by without observing that it is the sixth anniversary of that day in Salt Lake City when Canada triumphantly reclaimed Men’s Olympic Hockey Gold after a loooooong drought, by beating a game, but overmatched, U.S. team. That’s us (in the picture […] 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.

Instead, players for the Wild serve as Captain of the team for terms of a month or two in length, following which the responsibility is shifted to a team-mate. Now, I like to […] Can’t stop laughing at a line from Cox Bloc. In a post about a William Houston article suggesting that Hockey Night in Canada ditch the Leafs and televise the Senators instead, Godd Till writes: Switching out the Leafs also might not go over well with Hockey Night advertisers. The chance to connect with a fanatically […] Mike and I had a little discussion a few days ago, in the comments section of his site, about inter alia (which is Latin for “between beers”) the myriad of ills facing the NHL as it attempts to make some sort of an impact on the average American consumer. At some point, Mike referred to […] I checked tsn.ca for the final score of the Leaf game this morning when I got to work. I just needed to know how badly the Leafs had lost. When I tuned in to the game last night, it was late in the first period, 2-0 for the Kings. No sooner had I set the […] |
