3 in a row. For real this time.
They did it in the preseason, but that was the preseason. Now, they need to do it one more time with feeling. Which they did. Well, kinda. I’m not sure whether to be happy that the defense was actually contributing, or worried that our forwards were kind of asleep at … Read the rest

There is no cure…
… Quite like that of a Leafs win. Unfortunately, however, it would have been their own undoing if they didn’t, since it was against Atlanta, of all teams, and well, let’s just say Toronto has had their number, ever since the, like, 1 time they won in… oh… 2003 or … Read the rest

We outplayed them, and still barely won?
Somehow, that doesn’t quite seem all that… uh, well, fair. But, as my brother shockingly put it best, we choked. Again. And a 4 2 lead ended up being 4 4 going into a shootout. Guh. We can’t keep doing that and expecting to win… thank the gods we got … Read the rest

That was painful.
That makes two games in a row I couldn’t watch all the way through. And I didn’t even watch the last one from the beginning, either… I did, however, watch enough of it to see both Toronto goals in a less than thrilling losing effort. I’m trying to find something … Read the rest

I never turn off a hockey game.
But I sure turned it off last night. I figure, 30 minutes of absolute brutality is enough for any fan of any team. I can see I was right, because… well, the game didn’t really improve much after that. Typical Ottawa/Toronto game from last year. Ottawa does the cheap shot … Read the rest

An almost good hockey game.
Neither team was really awake during the first period and a half or so… but after that, well, again, things started to get interesting. Unfortunately for my Leafs, they were apparently still tired after last night’s game (see: Blue Jackets, beating of), and ended up coughing up a lead. Then … Read the rest

Now that’s a hockey game.
No scoring through pretty much half the game, then a combined 6 goals through the other half, with a second goal for the Blue Jackets coming in the last minute of the game, but still in a losing effort. That’s what I call a hockey game, folks. And I even … Read the rest

And for 2 minutes, they were good.
Of course, after that, they all went to shit, and my Leafs eventually work their way into an ass kicking the likes of which I did not want to see on a night when Sundin was being honoured for the fact he 1: scored his 500th career goal, 2: scored … Read the rest

Calgary, you are my bitch.
5 4 Leafs. Enough said. Sundin’s 500th career goal. Also enough said. Sundin’s hat trick. That’s why he’s the captain, folks. Long story short: Calgary is my bitch. *nods*

Where in hell did that come from?
Okay, so I didn’t watch much more than 3 minutes of the third period, and the extra frames. But… what in the 7 levels of hell? Rarely do I see a team up 6 3 going into the third period, like the Leafs were, only to lose 7 6 because … Read the rest
