Celebration FAIL
This one comes to you courtesy of my man 40 , and the fine folks at Puck Daddy . It's too comical not to share, and the musical number is most definitely on point ... I don't often read comments posted on YouTube. Because they're absolutely fucking ridiculous. But this one caught my ...

Unacceptable
Three wins in 19 games. One win in 9 home games. Seventy-one goals against in 19 games. Eleven points, compared to the New York Islanders' 23. It's all bloody unacceptable. Fuck it. Fuck all of it. I hate this team.

All Is Not Lost
Most of it. But not all. Some thoughts: If you look close enough, you can actually see the fear in Olli Jokinen's eyes. Francois Beauchemin is crazy, and I find it utterly enrapturing. After a disappointing goalless performance on Saturday night, Phil Kessel is now on pace for only 46 ...

Indebted
The men in the background, those are the real elite forwards. The true all-stars and MVPs. One day isn't enough, but thank you. Now, other than to rabidly support the home team, I don't ask you for much. Except for this: when you see a poppy on the ground, for the love of God, pick it ...

A Monster Indeed

sportsandthecity.com — A .918 save percentage. As a starter, it's even better: .924. At home: an impressive .948. No doubt Jonas Gustavsson will play a significant role in making the Air Canada Centre a difficult place to play once again. Shorthanded: a sublime ... (more) A Monster Indeed

A Prophecy Realized
Here's what I wrote back on October 8th ... "It's going to get worse, before it gets better." Well, according to the picture above, we've reached bottom. Think about it: A.J. Burnett, his 5.27 post-season ERA, and his New York Yankee$ teammates are World Series champions. Paul ...

At Last
I'm in Amsterdam, on route to New Delhi. I don't have much time. I paid three Euros for 15 valuable minutes on the internet. I'll be back next week, and my biggest fear was coming home to the still-winless Toronto Maple Leafs. I need not worry anymore. I'm celebrating the Maple Leafs' ...

Life Isn't Fair
Toronto FC, in the biggest game of its young existence, delivered a performance only a Toronto team could in a must-win situation. The Toronto Maple Leafs? A strong, and much better, effort. But another loss. Another fucking loss. I don't know about you, but when I think about the Leafs, I ...
