Maple Leafs versus Beantown Devils
So Milan Lucic is in town and people are comparing him to Cam Neely which reminds me of DGB's classic Wendel Moment # 11:

Maple Leafs 2 at Canucks 4: All I Needed to Know I Learned in Six Minutes
Thanks to the Leafs being the most important franchise in Canada if not the NHL last night's game was played at the ridiculous hour of 4pm PST so that Leafs Nation didn't have to miss out on a night on the town. Ironically, the Leafs seem
Negative Nancy Notebook: Hippies 4 Maple Leafs 2
Last night's game between the Maple Leafs and Canucks could also have been called Hockey Night In Punjab.
"Ice in Punjabi is `barf,'" said Parminder Singh. "What are we supposed to say: `He barfed the puck?'
"So we stuck with the English

Maple Leafs at ACC West Part III
Wow. There is actually one person that cares about the Canucks enough to make a half-assed video detailing why they suck. There isn't even music!
Anyway, prepare to spam away.

First things first, this stupid game is on at 7pm Eastern Standard Time?! It's on the west coast! I committed to going to a dinner tonight at freaking 630pm so
From The Branches - Eat It Rest of Canada
WOOOO-HOOOOO! It's a toss up about what is making me happier tonight. The fact that Matty Stajan is a point a game player, that Antropov continues to be awesome, that Grabovski is one quarter of the way to the Calder Trophy, or that I just heard Leafs fans
Maple Leafs 5 at Oilers 2: "ARE THOSE LEAFS FANS SINGING NANANANANA in OURÂ BARN?!?!?!?"
There is nothing sweeter than a big win in the opposition's barn and a lovely rendition of "Goodbye" to remind those smug fans that while their team might have the media on its knees the Leafs just handed them an L.
Someone was reading the discussion
Game Thread: Maple Leafs at ACC West Part II
The last time these two met in the regular season was when the Leafs were busy making their fans' lives miserable by honouring the 1967 Stanley Cup Champions. Millions raced to their calendars to make sure that it was not, in fact, 1968 all over again.

A Fireside Chat With Oilers Nation
I first got to know Oilers fans during the 2006 Cinderella playoff run when fans converged on Whyte Avenue to celebrate victories and build fires to warm them during the long winter months of April, May, and June. They cheered themselves hoarse as their team teased them with the prospect
From The Branches - Vote Early and Vote Often
Fan voting for the All-Star Game has officially started and Mirtle has already found a few inconsistencies. I love that the NHL doesn't have the guts to just force 6 Habs to start so they have a team vote option. You can also vote as often as possible
Maple Leafs 3 at Flames 4: Too Cute By Half
The expected crowd of blue and white faithful materialised but something was missing...oh yeah, effort. Not that the Leafs didn't play a decent gme and try right to the very end when they scored one of the top 10 weirdest goals I have ever seen (and hat&
Game Thread: Maple Leafs at ACC West Part One
The Torontoist reminded me that the last time these two teams played was two years ago and something kind of magical happened. Two years on from this game and three from the last time the blue and white visited their Western Canada-based fans the team has changed a lot. I
Lest We Forget
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved,

Lots of links on this 11th of November:
* Wendel Moment # 11 features the mythical matchup that most people never thought would happen. The video clip barely passes muster as evidence.
* Jason looks at the NHL's dirty little secret.
* TSM is confused that the media are apparently now including
Stopping The Spin: The Kostopoulos Assault
No idea if I'll do this more often but here's another response to Damien Cox's "blog" (ie extra column that didn't make the newspaper because it wasn't good enough). I submitted part of it as a comment so
NNN: The Habs Are a Filthy Team
Here's video of the hit last night by Tom Kostopolous on Mike Van Ryn. A more proper term would be assault because at no point in that play does Kostopolous do anything else than try to injure Van Ryn. Now a guy that was making Fletcher look great
Game Thread: Evil at Good
1967ers unearthing of this video this week was timely. Hopefully Schenn or Finger can get a hold of one of the Habs like this tonight.

Links for this early morning:
* Wendel Moment # 14 looks at what happens when a dirty player tries to go after Wendel. Calling it a big mistake is an understatement.
* # 13 follows quickly on its heels. I triple dog dare DGB to follow through on his promise. I can't
NNN: Settling into a Pattern
That in no way resembled how the game went for the Leafs last night. After putting forth one of their worst efforts last night the Leafs had a 5-on-3 to get back to within one but they blew it. Don't get me started on Poni's stupid

Back-to-back wins over the rebuilding Leafs have the Canes bandwagon (seen here pulling double duty as the 'Paint Waggin') filling up
Yesterday, we were accused of being unoriginal, not funny, and mean to Southern markets. Not that we received any replies calling us hosers Turns out, there are

Ladies and gentleman, via the best little sister anyone could ask for and the contributions of Winkle and Blurr1974, I present to you quite possibly the best Toronto Maple Leafs tribute video on the interwebs: Bacon Yada.
