Shenanigans abounded. Daniel Carcillo continues his audition for "most hated opponent not wearing a Sens or Habs jersey" and Colton Orr and Garnett Exelby gave the Flyers a taste of truculence. Even Jason Allison had a truculent moment, breaking the helmet of a Flyer. It seemed to be

I'm still giddy over the game.  Nasty Nazem Kadri looked ridiculous when given the proper tools to work with.  Niklas Hagman is still awesome (not that I had any doubts.)  Luke Schenn is still Luke Schenn, just a year older, wiser, stronger, meaner.  And not to belittle the

After watching the game last night, I had one thought: So that's what a good GM does. Years of ineptitude, which is far more painful to watch than mediocrity, had me convinced GM's just were not that important.  I was happy Burke signed on, but seeing

I've wasted the entire night playing the new EA Sports NHL 10 game, and by wasted I mean had a complete blast!  In fact, I'm having a hard time tearing myself away from it.  Let's get to the links so I can go back

Kessel, Kessel, Kessel is all I've seen and heard since Burke re-acquired the Leafs 2nd rounder for 2010, yet all I can think of is the Millennium Falcon.  You've never heard of the Millennium Falcon?  Why it's the ship that made the Kessel run

If Leaf fans had known it would be who knows how long (42 and counting) until the next Stanley Cup victory, how much crazier do you think they would have reacted?  Would Toronto as a city/postal code even exist today?  How many folks would have checked out on hockey

I was watching Adventureland last night and in between humming along to some great tunes and realizing that Kristin Stewart was that same gal from Twilight, I drifted to thoughts of hockey.  Suffice to say, the movie was not all that great (the soundtrack was pretty killer though...) The summer&

Not much in the way of links gang.  I stayed up late last night watching Fifth Element ("Leeloo Dallas, multi-pass") waiting for more Leafs link manna to fall from the ether...net.  To no avail.  So, in honor of me watching one of my favorite movies last night,

blurr is back with the same old crap. I know, it doesn't rhyme.  Thanks to my west coast amigo (amigette?) WAC, I've had horrible early 90s rap songs stuck in my head all day.  Thankfully, I own all of Run DMCs catalog (Peter Piper is still

The last day of the week has arrived.  I love how the unlimited potential of my weekends ultimately winds up looking something like the pic below. Immediately after this shot, the cat lit me up on COD 4 At least it did, before my x-box finally died.  Now it'

As resident Nik Hagman super fan, I have found some Leaf fan's lack of faith disturbing.  A gentle nudge for those who have wandered from the path of St. Nik. Player Tribute: Niklas Hagman (via Ibanucciani) And, just in case you needed a reminder, the candidate for goal

As a few of us discussed yesterday, there are a few"dark horse" teams in the East this season.  Why can't the Leafs be one of them?  How much better is the rest of the conference that we should resign ourselves to another season of losing?

Sleepy.  So sleepy... * TML Nation kicks off he day with Nazdaq.  He's smooth, a born leader, insanely talented.  Shall we add role model to his growing list of superlatives? TSM asks the question we all forgot about.  Kaberle: Should he stay or should he go now?  Tick tock

The man, the myth, the legend; these are the things you may be reading about Justin Pogge in the main stream media. None of them are true. Today's collection of links looks at every aspect of the Pogge deal, ad nauseum.  Enjoy the final farewell. Fans telegraph Justin
