NNN: Burn Baby Burn
I'd like to start by mentioning the Flames' goal horn. I love how after the horn blast they start playing Disco Inferno, because it's considerably better than pumped in techno or nu metal garbage. I don't love how their horn blasts for five

Game Recap: Hurricanes at Leafs
Well, shit.
Toronto looked sloppy in the first period, giving up four goals. A lot of hard work by Hagman (1G 1A) and Grabovski (2G 1A) and a shot by Van Ryn tied it up and got the Leafs a single point they probably didn't deserve.

Karma Catches Up With Toronto
Holding on to a 3-1 lead Toronto gave up three goals in three minutes in the second period en route to losing 6-4 to Carolina.
