Uh. What? How in the hell did we go from a 3-goal lead at the end of the second period, to… to… well… losing. In a shootout. Badly. We just don’t do that. Like, at all. Against Carolina, of all freaking teams. Carolina. Loser of 14 straight at one point. … Read the rest
Wow. We suck. Oh my god do we suck. The only one of us who’s getting any kind of consistent points here is Kessel. And if he weren’t, there’d probably be a lineup outside GM Brian Burke’s office full of gun-wielding Leafs fans. Hell, couple more nights like tonight and … Read the rest
Uh. What? Where’s the hockey? Where’s the home team? They did remember we played on Saturday, didn’t they? Did they remember games usually go about 2.5 hours? I don’t think so. We’re 3, 10 and 5. We’ve officially lost 5 times as many games, counting our shootout losses, as we’ve … Read the rest
Yeah, I know, a day late and a ddollar short–they’re desperately trying to lose another one. But, at least I’m doing it. My reason for its lateness is for another post. I caught the majority of last night’s game this morning. And didn’t like very much of what I saw, … Read the rest
I speculated on Twitter, during the Hurricanes game, that we’d not seen the last of the team that not quite was. And, sure enough, they didn’t disappoint. They showed up for the first period, actually managed to keep up with the game during that–even if they, yet again, gave up … Read the rest
Well, it’s not really what I’d call a winning streak, but I’ll take an undefeated streak just as well. At least one point in 7 games, and 2 points in each of the last 2 games, and Kessel netted himself 2 points tonight. Hard to find fault in at least … Read the rest
It had to happen sometime. I mean, we couldn’t have gone through the entire season on just won win, could we? Well, okay, so maybe we could have. Luckily we won’t have to worry about finding out. After last night’s win, the Leafs are just slightly less likely to have … Read the rest
It’s no secret that I’m a Leafs fan. Probably to my own detrament, even. But I am. It’s well documented on my LJ, and even more so on my older, much deader blog. I’ve joked that it might as well be a religion. Well, that religion’s on the verge of … Read the rest
Unfortunately, I have to. Because I don’t think he’ll be coming back any time soon. And he’s currently doing an Ottawa Montreal game… *tries desperately not to puke* leaffan, please tell me you know something I don’t. He’s a fucking awesome play by play guy, but just… not awesome … Read the rest
Anyone who’s spent 5 minutes talking to me over the last month or so, or even who’s gone and read through either this LJ or my old blog, knows I live and breathe the hockey season. I haven’t been posting about it all that much (well, okay, at all) … Read the rest
