Alright, as most of you know we've been running a heated race to become part of the Pension Plan Puppets team. We've wittled the field down to three from five but now we want to hear from you guys now that the masks of anonymity will

Alec should be making his debut later today (internet issues permitting) and Down Goes Brown is a year old which is like 9 in blog years. Go wish him a happy birthday and all the best in a bright future of taking any semblance of sunshine away from us. Links!

There are a few interesting things to pick up from here. The first is obviously that the senators and Lightning need to get their act together and pass the Leafs. The others involve the Canadiens. They are only 6 points out of 9th and have been the worst team in

Oh God it feels good to be able to hate our traditional rivals. I can't believe that we had to stumble through the late 90s and early 00s hating the senators because of the Habs' bumbling. Of course, they never have had to worry about that because

We all loved seeing The Omen wade into his comments as his failed print column actually became more like an actual blog. However, the problem here is that rather than just guess at Damien's twisted logic he is actually spelling it out for us which at the same

"Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast." "It jumped up a notch." "Yeah, it did didn't it." If you haven't already had a chance please head on over to (and recommend) my friendly reminder

If you just went by this picture you'd assume that tonight's game had been Pogge taking on the Sabres by himself...and you would be right. Who will be the first to do something good?

Editor's Note: One of our resident hippies is in charge tonight: Blurr 1974. Please extend to him the same level of respect that you give Chemmy. This was going to be the "Buds and Slugs vs. Vesa ToskaLOL" game thread, but tonight, we get another glimpse

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! - breath - MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! - Whale4ever, Litter Box Cats More like Whale4never! But really, was anyone surprised? Joe Bowen spoke the words at the beginning of the third period: " Florida is the only team in the league to not come back from going into the third period down

Do not worry citizens of PPPetoria. Last night's coup d'etat was a failure. Chemmy is currently in Mexico enjoying a vacation with 8 of his fingers (who needs thumbs anyway?). The game thread will be examined for any supporters that might be wishing to join him.

The guy in grey is a Panthers' fan. Look how scared he is in this picture and now... Now look at him being sad again. You've been outed Panthers fan. Hang your head in shame.

Listen Gary, I'm glad that you didn't mention 'tampering' because I would have hated to break your legs. Really! I like you. You remind me of The Count. Who is Hagman going to undress next?

Mattblack used to be a Panthers fan. Remember your SPG Picks Especially Lordosis Finally, this is your game thread. Spam Crown will be brought out of storage so do your worst!

Let's call this burning eyes edition. Or the still sleepy edition. Or the why don't I just call in sick edition. Watching Sportscentre I saw Bryan Murray say that he had veteran options for his coach (ie Pat Quinn) but Melnyk let him make his own

Doritos: Lucky Day This is the highest rated commercial apparently. I liked it well enough. There's not really that many things funnier than a bus coming off screen to kill someone. "Meeting" (Bud Light) This one was my mom's favourite commercial and of course

Our Luke and Saviour pardons a sinner after last night's game On a night when the Maple Leafs feted Doug (Killer) Gilmour and in a season when Wendel Clark was accorded the same honour, it was not difficult to imagine rookie Luke Schenn one day earning fan adoration

Luke Schenn's fists are named Truth and Justice. That's Truth about to explain his greatness. Last night was...I don't know...magical? I don't know if that was the right word but when Luke Schenn's number 2 gets honoured sometime

Vintage Leafs gives us an idea of the mood after last night's game Who knew all it would take is Raycroft's presence (or should that be presents) to cure Toronto's scoring woes? Actually it probably wasn't a huge surprise to Leafs'

So let me get this straight: The former Leaf goaltender allows seven goals including a couple of ridiculously weak ones and the former Leaf forward gets outscored by the defenceman that the team signed from his current team? I can't wait to find out how this Twilight Zone

Editor's Note: In honour of our team's first meeting with two of everyone's favourite players I have asked their biggest detractors to provide a glimpse into what they will be feeling and thinking tonight when they see Mssrs. Tucker and Raycroft on screen tonight.

Courtesy of the hilarious NHLOL This game was ugly for a variety of reasons from the final score to the Leafs' nap after they tied the game to Nik Antropov's absolute inability to score. Oh yeah, and because Chemmy leaves me voicemails sobbing about how mean I
