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

I promised you a rant, and here it be.
Warning: this could get very, very long-winded. Possibly requiring it not be posted until the end of my shift–taking one look at how busy we are right now (35 people currently on hold, just for the record) with about 20 minutes before I have to actually start, it might take … Read the rest

Pick the more depressing situation.
situation 1: I’m working, and thus only actually got to watch a grand total of maybe 5 minutes of play in tonight’s hockey game–I’ll rant about *why* that is if I have time later on. Or when I get home. Or, situation 2: the game of which I only got … Read the rest

At least it was close.
I mean, it could have–okay, should have–gone differently, but… it wasn’t. Oh well, 4 3 is still better than some of the *other* scores I’ve seen toronto get rung up by thanks largely to Ottawa. And we do have a rematch coming up… this time, *in* Ottawa. I likes this. … Read the rest
