Driving the snow lined streets of Toronto this afternoon, I started thinking about hockey. I realized it was Christmas Eve and the 2004/2005 NHL hockey season has yet to begin. With the NHL and NHLPA deeply entrenched in a pissing contest, everybody is looking at January 14th, 2005, the

I was in the car when NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman held his news conference this afternoon. His words, "the unanimous conclusion was the union's proposal does not work", pierced my heart and soul like a series of poisonous daggers. Buckle up boys and girls, this is going to be a
I received a nice email from Kevin Shea regarding our mutual interest in Bill Barilko and The Tragically Hip. Kevin Shea has written "Barilko - Without a Trace", a book about the legend of Bashin' Bill Barilko "from his childhood in Timmins to his days playing for the Hollywood Wolves

Every once in a while, you're going to lay an egg. By all accounts, the Maple Leafs stunk last night in their tenth and final game of a lengthy road trip. Still, 7-3 during that road trip is pretty awesome. Today's Toronto Star has an article that suggests these Leafs
The Maple Leafs won another at the ACC in front of a Canadian AHL regular-season record 17,422 fans. It was a great game with Carlo Colaiacovo, Nathan Perrott and David Ling scoring for the Leafs and Mikael Tellqvist making the one goal lead stick. That's ten wins in twelve
