Leafs/Lightning tonight: I missed the first period because of a hellish day at work. I tweeted to my peeps that at the end of the workday, I basically felt as though I’d been paroled from the circus. Reading through the Twitter messages on the game, though, it seemed to me that the Leafs likely played […]

Sometimes in professional sports, in the latter portion of a lost season, one can get the impression that folks are just mailing it in. Akin to garbage time in a game too far out of hand to salvage, the idea is that a team can be so far out of contention for a championship or […] 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 […] A huge day for the Toronto Maple Leafs today: they traded Matt Stajan, Nik Hagman, Ian White and Jamal Mayers to Calgary for Dion Phaneuf, Fredrik Sjostrom and Keith Aulie. Stajan, White and Mayers are all on expiring contracts, so they are essentially rentals. Hagman has two years to go on an economical 3 million […] 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. (taps foot. scratches ear. coughs. looks at watch. scratches ear again. yawns. checks […] 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, […] 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 […] Okay, Barilkosphere, here’s your chance to pick up a piece of Leafs memorabilia. My wife and I are running a charity auction tonight. One of the items that’s up for grabs is an autographed hockey stick that Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment was kind enough to donate. It’s autographed by the 2008-2009 Toronto Maple Leafs; […] Imagine, if you will, Brian Burke sitting at his desk in the MLSE offices today. Any GM Clancy is an intimidating ghost of the Leafs is no doubt a busy man, but Burkie’s recently been a bit busier than most. On top of the usual day to day stuff, he’s still dealing with […] |
