What Senators Fans and Spouse Had to Say About the Game

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 […]

Welcome, Hope. We Thought You’d Never Get Here.

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 […]

Albert Speaks: I’ve Been Holding Out On You Edition

Albert, As the Group of Seven Would Have Seen Him

Confessions Department: Since April, I’ve been keeping some pretty fun information from you all. Remember the Albert Canadian Tire commercial? Well “Albert” has spoken out. Here, at Heroes in Rehab: the blog.

I’ll tell you what the actor who played “young Albert” had to […]

Talkin’ Bout a Revolution, it Sounds Like a Twitter

Will Tweet For Food

There’s a revolution coming, people. Not the “We’d like to sell you some mutual funds by incorporating music that used to be subersive into our otherwise non-threatening and highly establishment-based television ad” kind of revolution. Not the kind that requires a lot of marching with torches, either (which is good, […]

Stop the Presses! I Finished a Project!

I Am So Dope.

Since late last week, I’ve been spending a huge amount of time working on a writing project that was due this past Tuesday.

It’s the first time I’ve been commissioned to write something for publication. Naturally, I wanted to make as good an impression as possible, so I promptly missed […]

Project C’est Something Nice

Following a few spectacular, hope generating days during which Brian Burke proved himself to be the Mac Daddy of all NHL GMs, fans of the Maple Leafs started to feel a (recently) unfamiliar amount of excitement for the upcoming regular season.

At the same time, Montreal Canadiens’ GM Robert “Bob” Gainey was busy crapping the […]

Nice Column. Um, How About Vaccuuming, Dude?

A New Day Dawning in Leafland?

Sleep was deep, my breakfast was good, and the pot of tea hit the spot. I have completed and posted the piece I promised on Brian Burke and the NHL trade deadline. It sets out the reasonable expectations that Maple Leaf fans everywhere should have of our angry […]

Blog Interrupted: Explanatory Explanation Dept.

Yes, yes, I know. I’ve been neglecting you for a few days. Aside from the occasional tale of nocturnal chaos, it’s been pretty slim pickin’s around here.

As usual, it’s been busy , but I’m not going to rely on that old excuse for my postFAILage. I’ve been doing quite a bit of writing over […]

Brian Burke: Is You Is Or Is You Isn’t?

As much as I hate the suits at MLSE with the white hot burning heat of a thousand suns, I can’t quarrel too much with their deliberate pace on this hiring decision to date. It’s a tough decision, and one that will have far-reaching consequences for the future of the organization. The reason that I […]
