There’s only one thing I despise about Ottawa. Their damned hockey team.
Especially when they end up outplaying my team, as was the case last night. And after they’d been doing so well, too… 8 shots in the third period? What the fuck? And where in the name of all that is good was our defense? I mean, yeah the big names … Read the rest

That’s 3. In a row. Hell yeah.
And 2 of the 3 were against the Canadians. Even better. It isn’t even October 4th yet and I’m excited. Already it looks like it’s gonna at the least be a faster game than last season. Speed demons is right.

I’m liking the preseason already…
My leafs may have been embarrassed by Buffalo in the first game, but man oh man… if they keep playing like this I’m willing to forget that ever happened. First Ottawa, and now, the Canadians. And 5 to 1, too. Did I mention I love the way Aubin plays? I … Read the rest

Blow Sens blow!
Leafs 3, Senators 1. ‘Nuff said. I know it’s only preseason, but damn… after the crappyness of last season’s play against them, this feels good. Now we just need to do it again on Sunday and call it a done deal ’til the actual season starts. I said it before, … Read the rest

Buh bye, Tie.
Sometimes, getting to see him put someone on the ice was the highlight of a game. But with the new rules in the NHL now, the enforcer role is just… kind of in the way. Too bad, too, because I did take a certain satisfaction in seeing Domi take out … Read the rest

Counting it down…
For those not keeping track (IE: everyone who isn’t me), there are now 11 hours and 21 minutes until my favourite pass-time, next to spending time with an enjoyable young woman–anyone know any? I speak of the start of the hockey season… yayness! Or something. Okay, back later, hopefully with … Read the rest

And while I was fighting with my internet…
A guy I really… don’t know what to say about went and got himself re-signed for 2 years. Could be worse, all I’m saying on that one. I mean, I don’t know much about Stajan except the few times he was in the right place at the right time. But … Read the rest

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…
I speak not of kids going back to school, nor of Christmas–though that’s pretty okay too. I speak instead, of the official Leafs countdown. And, as of the time of this entry, the Leafs nation clock shows… 8 days, 13 hours, and 8 minutes to the first preseason game of … Read the rest

Happy September!
Ordinarily I wouldn’t even be thinking that, since you know, September = dangerously close to freezing temperatures, but… it also means 33 days to hockey! … 17 if you include preseason. Suddenly, freezing cold doesn’t look all that horrible. As long as I’m not outside in it. And no, Erin,… Read the rest

They did *not* just do that to me…
Management has lost its mind. Peca is one thing… but Belak? How the hell? More importantly, *why* the hell? He hellishly le *stunk* last year. And the season before. And if they had a season in 04-05, he’d of sucked then. For the love of all that is sanity, why…? … Read the rest
