Hopefully you weren’t too excited about Mark Bell.
If you were, you’ll be holding onto that excitement for about a month–he’s been ruled clean by the professionals, and still has to sit out the first 15 games of the season. I’d feel sorry for him, but… really, he brought that one on himself. And methinks he knows it. … Read the rest

We’ll miss ya, Harry!
The first ever Leafs game I remember watching, oddly enough I think I was maybe 5 or 6, was being called by the much respected duo of Harry Neale and Bob Cole. I think it might have been a playoff game, too–can’t say for sure, but… hey, it was about … Read the rest

I just want a Leafs game…
I used to have a trick I could pull off last year, near the end of the season, to see just how bad the Leafs actually flopped when it came down to playoff time. I could even manage to do so from work. But, for the life of me, I … Read the rest

Thar be winning seasons… maybe?
Hey, anything’s possible. They beat up on Detroit a little, according to the linked article… they couldn’t really do that all that much last season. Oh, wait–they only played like, once or twice last season. Well, at least we’re still in the race. Officially. But only because the season hasn’t … Read the rest

Why is Telqvist beating us?
Toskala, I had such high hopes for you. But already, you’re making me wonder if perhaps Cujo was our last attempt at an honest to goodness playoff run. Don’t do that. But least of all… don’t screw us out of a win 3 minutes into the bloody first bloody period. … Read the rest

My cable versus satelite predicament or: the only truely evil thing about living in ottawa.
When I shoved my entire life into boxes and got the hell outa Pembroke way back in December, I acknowledged then that my hockey watching days, unles I wanted to convert to being a Senators fan, were either over or extremely, extremely numbered. Which, naturally, pissed me right the hell … Read the rest

Go Toskala go!
This could become very, very good news. Not that I thought Raycroft sucked, really–okay, so he was no Cujo. Oh well. But… hey, we didn’t have much of a backup goalie before either. Now, at least we have that. Don’t get me started on the Carlo signing for 3 years… … Read the rest

I worship the hockey gods eternally.
Ducks win. Season is done. Sens are done. I’m fucking thrilled. Final score: 6 2. The cup will never go to Ottawa. Ducks, I promise you, I will never not cheer for you again. Unless Toronto’s playing. Then I hope you choke. But that’s just hockey. And hockey is good. … Read the rest

Go ducks go!
Yes, I know, I haven’t done nearly the hockey/NHL blogging as I’d previously threatened to–a problem that will be corrected next hockey season. But that being said… it’s now the end of the second period. Ottawa is losing 4 2. And I, yes me, am fucking extatic. I called in … Read the rest
