Well folks, there’s our Stanley cup victory.
After beating up on the Penguins, don’t expect all too much more of a good thing to be coming out of Toronto. Knocking out those 5 goals last night took just about everything they had. So now they’ll be good and ready to give up another 20+ goals in the … Read the rest

Good I didn’t miss anything.
Just my team tanking in the stretch again. Not entirely unlike they do for most of their losses. which… are coming way too quickly for it to be painless. If anyone has a cure besides having JFJ shot, simply because I’d rather not make headlines for that reason, fire it … Read the rest

I didn’t wanna see the playoffs anyway.
So apparently mister Tucker’s on the sidelines ’til God only knows when with a knee injury. And our two goalies aren’t doing a whole lot of stopping shots. And… unless your name’s Sundin or Ponikarovsky, you’re not doing a whole hell of a lot offensively, either. I didn’t expect we’d … Read the rest

Ordinarily I’d complain about missing a game, but…
I’m not about to wine about missing one in which, leading going into the third, we tanked. Bad. Not bad as in “Oh well, we’ll get ’em next time.”. Bad as in 5 goals in 20 minutes to our… wait for it… wait for it… 1. That’s right, we got … Read the rest

What a horrible fan am I.
I promised I’d blog more about my hockey team, then promptly fell off the wagon for all of 2 games. I should really make up for that–for the record, they were games in which we both got crushed and did the crushing, so at least I’m missing games on both … Read the rest

The best defense is, in fact, *not* a good offense, folks.
The game was close, at least. At least for most of it. At least until the defense didn’t show up. For either team. The difference in a 6 4 loss? A captain younger than me and possibly than my brother. I have no idea where the defensive half of either … Read the rest

It’s even sweeter in replay.
Thanks to Mojo 640, I got to watch the third period of Thursday’s game. For those who live under a rock, or perhaps don’t follow the game of Hockey as closely as I do when I can, that was the period on the day when Mats Sundin became the all-time … Read the rest

Toronto, we have a problem.
Last week, raycroft stunk up the place and toskala was the thing–not that I agreed with that. This week, Toskala stunk up the place and Raycroft’s golden–not that I agree with that, either. Although, admitedly, I can’t disagree with a stomping not unlike that handed to us on Tuesday. But, … Read the rest

The unknown element is still unstable.
Vesa Toskala. The man some have pinned their hopes and dreams for this season on. The man who, in spite of the fact he’s still not got a whole lot in front of him–we just happened to score more goals on Saturday, that’s all–still pretty much proved 2 losses against … Read the rest

Now that’s a hockey game.
So I’m a few days late–blame the thanks giving getaway, a recap of which I’ll attempt when I’m brave enough. Easy positive side, though. I got to do something I haven’t gotten to do since roughly this time last year–watch Toronto beat down on Montreal in overtime. Sure, it had … Read the rest
