Reading the Tea Leafs: Curtis Joseph

Following on the success of two other dormant series Chemmy and I have decided that in order to fill the gap in NHL news that we'll take a look at each of the current Leafs, possible Leafs on the Marlies, and prospects. We'll recap their performance

FTB - Dealing With Disaster

1967ers had the best description of the sentiment espoused by the site: this place walks that fine line between disgruntled and bitter, where gallows humour reigns.The simple explanation is that if you didn't laugh at the Leafs' situation you'd probably cry and, like baseball,

FTB - Moving On

Could there be some sweet release from the media driven Sundin saga? Maybe. The General was on hand to see his potential swansong and it sounds like a decent enough time. No surprise that Avery was a douche. Too bad his lazy lacerated spleen didn't finish the job

The Long Goodbye

Why does it take a minute to say hello and forever to say goodbye?The most drawn out trade in Leafs' history (I am guessing) was finally confirmed yesterday. The details (McCabe and a fourth in 2010 for Mike Van Ryn) are secondary to the fact that yet one

A Year at SBN

Once upon a time, this site was hosted on blogger. I would put my thoughts out into the intertubes and once in a while it would pop out onto someone's screen. I averaged about 30-50 visitors per day and would get a comment every once in a blue

FTB - Holiday Edition

Enjoy your day off from work. I'll be spending my day in some close approximation to the picture. Add any links in the comments. * One last picture of McCabe? We'll know soon enough. * Apparently the Panthers and Leafs have a history of trading assets. * This will

FTB - Lazy Sunday Edition

Whooo! Long Weekend! No work tomorrow. Make sure to check out Chemmy's two Reading the Tea Leafs (now with marital status) on Jamal Mayers and Poor Jeff Finger (he's apparently officially known as that). Oh, and here's part-time self-loathing Leaf fan, full-time douchebag Howard

FTB - Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting

Why the CBC didn't just snap this up and make it the new HNiC theme is beyond me. And yes, I think it should be the Nickelback version. Not a fan but, I don't care who you are, that will pump you up. I drew the

FTB - Brilliance

I read a lot of blog posts and newspaper articles every day. Lots of them are for work but more of them are about the Leafs, the NHL, or the world at large. Every once in a while you come across something that just needs to be shared with a

From The Branches - Big News Edition

This got de-railed by some actual news. First there was Chemmy joining the site and then the Leafs complete their master plan to sign every Swedish defenceman in the hopes that one of them is actually the bastard love child of Nik Lidstrom's dad. Only one of these

Breaking News (maybe): Leafs Sign Josef "Bom-Bom" Boumedienne

Update II: If you're coming over from Alec Brownscombe's blog, welcome. Poke around and if you like what you see sign up and join the community. JP passed along a link that a Swedish reader of his sent him but according to Sportbladet the Leafs have

Leafs (blog) Unveils New Signing

While general managers around the league are on vacation I have been busy looking to bring in some fresh faces for the new season. Mostly because I already went on vacation in July. Luckily, most bloggers shut it down during the off-season but not Leafers! Probably because there is so

And It Begins...

When MLSE announced the free exhibition game the reaction was...probably not what they expected. It's not like MLSE was giving up any revenue as Coca-Cola probably paid more for the ability to sell chances at winning a draw through their products. And look at all of the

Chatting with Leaf Nation's Best Golfer

Last week Alena Sharp's comments soliciting a ottawa senators' head cover for the Canadian Open sparked a nationwide furor. Actually, it just sparked a furious fanshot from some hothead. It actually gave me the bright idea to contact her to try to get to the bottom of

From The Branches

Quick links this morning. Drop into Greener's post to discuss how badly McCabe deserves to get the boot and whether Sundin is a traitor (hint: he is). And give Jared's fanpost a look as he tries to get a road hockey game going. As always, drop

FTB - Links, Links, Links

I have something special coming up this afternoon so just links this morning. * Jared is a genius. This has to happen during the winter. It's not road hockey if there is no slush on your shot. * Matt with some more great Olympics coverage. Canada is now 13th in

FTB - Just Another Manic Monday

I wish it was Sunday. Because then we would not know that Larry Brooks and the New York Rangers are full of shit and we would be one step closer to ending the Great Wait (TM some guy at The Star). Anyway, here are some links. Post new ones in

FTB - Decision Time

I doubt I was alone in waking up at 5am EST to watch the 'women's and men's heavyweight eights row in the finals this morning. Unfortunately, the women's finished fourth (the official Canadian position) but the men's lead from wire to

FTB - Battles

The 2008-2009 edition of the Leafs (and their fans) will face a number of battles. Jeff Finger will fight his contract to earn fair coverage from the media. Steen, Stajan, Antropov, and the rest of the young group will face the pressure of increased expectations and the need to continue
