I’ve been holding my breath ever since about the first period of Game Two vs. Switzerland. Team Canada looked disorganized and got outworked by a highly motivated Swiss team; the hosts were lucky to win in a shootout. Tonight, Team Canada worked harder but lost to a team with a better goaltender and – it […] Step One Complete. Next up: Swiss Timing Just want to make it clear, posting the above score is in no way meant to diminish the excellent effort of the Norwegian hockey team. I am not talking smack about Norway, just trying to document what I hope will be a journey towards Olympic gold for […] Both Kidkawartha (via Twitter) and MattBlack (via the Pension Plan Puppets FTB links roundup) recommended to all Leaf fans a reading of the comments in the Silver Seven Sens game thread. It is sage and wise advice, gratefully accepted and immediately productive this morning of several out-loud guffaws hereabouts. The game thread is a written […] It was only one game. One game in another lost season; one game against a (recently) struggling Eastern Conference opponent and their backup goaltender. Still, tonight’s 3-0 Leaf victory finally gave more than a little reason for hope to long-suffering Leaf fans. There was a goaltender in our net who made saves and who seemed […] I went down to the Leafs/Kings game at the Air Canada Centre last night with my Dad. I’ll wait a moment or two while you make whatever derogatory, insulting and completely justified remarks about the woeful performance of the Blue and White.

Alec Brownscombe has asked me to contribute my thoughts occasionally over at MLHS, and I’ve agreed to […] Canada’s leading non-medical cause of tinnitus, Pierre McGuire, was in peak aneurysm-inducing form earlier tonight during the Canada/Switzerland World Junior Hockey Championship semi-final. Those of you who have had your ears assaulted by Mr. McGuire’s work in the past will know that he is in fact a knowledgeable hockey person. The problem is that he unfortunately is apparently predisposed to sharing his every thought with all the variety and nuance of an eight-year old in the backseat inquiring of the family vehicle’s progress toward Disneyland. […] As I am currently disintegrating into a small pile of trembling viscous goo under the combined pressures of a ridiculous workload at the office and the insanity of trying to make a Christmas in the paltry few minutes remaining to me afterwards, this is not going to be a long or particularly entertaining post. Nevertheless, […] I know, I know, I just took the trouble yesterday to tell you I probably won’ t be blogging for a little bit, and now here I am. What can I tell you, I’m in a good mood after the Leafs shellacked the Atlanta Thrashers tonight. Positively giddy because of a five-goal second period outburst, […] Uncle Henry, don’t be dumb, Liquor up your youngest son! For he represents the royal army’s Chances in the war. Say hello to him for me Ask him if his dog predicts That the Maple Leafs are gonna beat Detroit For the Stanley Cup! …with apologies to Mike (a Red Wings […] |
