Flames 5, Maple Leafs 2.
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

Blackhawks 3, Maple Leafs 2.
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

Wild 5, Maple Leafs 2.
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

We just love to lose.
I’ve never actually lived in Toronto. Closest I’ve lived would be Barrie, which for those of you who haven’t been up that way is about an hour north. Beyond that, I’ve spent the last 5 or 6 years either in or around Ottawa and the valley. But still, I can’t … Read the rest

Still trying to make it 7.
It’s nice to know folks can still talk up a good game. Even though a team didn’t end up coming to Hamilton, the NHL’s now saying it’s not opposed to another team in Canada, possibly in the near future. And possibly in Toronto’s market. I don’t see that as a … Read the rest

Maple Leafs 5, Red Wings 1.
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

Maple Leafs 3, Hurricanes 2.
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

Have we hit bottom yet?
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

Forget soccer and football, let’s see some baseball!
Ottawa’s city council is once again being approached by two major developers regarding the building of a new sports arena. One wants to bring a soccer team to Ottawa, the other wants yet a third crack at football. I do have to wonder, though, has anyone ever considered the … Read the rest

Hockey Night in Canada, I shall miss you.
Though the CBC hasn’t officially announced that’s one of the things on the chopping block, they did pretty much cut out 800 or so jobs in the last couple days. And now, much to my relief, the government which I have so often mocked has made it rather abundantly clear … Read the rest
