So I can be lazy after all.
They do, it would seem, play tonight. And for the first time since the hockey season started, I’m actually not scheduled to miss a Friday night hockey game. Someone else will be preparing my dinner. Tonight, we dine in Leafdom. Unless they lose. Then we dine in hell.

Well now. That was cold.
The walk and subsequent bus ride to work, that is. Uber, freaking, cold. Somebody must hate me. It’s not even January yet, either. Ladies, gentlemen, and people of indeterminate genders, I officially hate winter in Canada. And it’s neither snowed nor actually become winter yet. Bloody hell times 6. I … Read the rest

On the other hand, my theory could just be bunked in the span of a minute.
After 4 minutes, it was 2 nill Ottawa. That hurt… a *lot*. This, I’ll add, after a conversation via IM albeit briefly with Mike regarding the Leafs’ current defensive/goaltending situation. Two goals scored less than a minute from each other, and the game was pretty much over at that point. … Read the rest

I’m starting to see a patern here, and I’m not encouraged.
That patern, for the generally curious or generally bored, is that when I figure things will turn out slightly more positive than I’d initially thought, they do a complete 180. So far, that patern has only been proven in the hockey world–I’m still working on the rest of it. Reasoning. … Read the rest

Put a wall around Quebec. Then fill it with water.
Or at least put a wall around it. Mayhap then the separatist movement will be content. It’s apparently not good enough, after all, when someone who isn’t even from Canada and has already learned english, and *only* came to Canada to play hockey, doesn’t speak french. Sacreligious, I’m tellin ya! … Read the rest

Toskala and Raycroft score hat tricks, Leafs lose.
Vesa Toskala and Andrew Raycroft lead the team in goals for the season, after another 4 and 3 tonight, respectively, in the Capitals’ 7 1 spanking of the Maple Leafs. In a postgame interview, Toskala said of his performance, “well, we sent out the usual wake-up notice that we had … Read the rest

The best hockey game I ever slept through.
Of course, any game where the good guys come out and win 4 1 like that is a good game in my books. That it happened to be their second win in a row, though? For the first time this season? Can’t go wrong. I mean, granted, it was against … Read the rest

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
