Thursday has never been a good day for me.  Given the plethora of crappy days i've had lately, some kind of Leaf news would be a welcome reprieve (hint hint Mr. Burke!) via 1.bp.blogspot.com * In case you missed it, DGB has his take on the

No news on the free agent front.  No news on the trade front.  It's a mixed bag this AM. Brian Burke's To-Do List Toss any links I may have missed in the comments. * Two Maple Leaf lifers shuffle off this mortal coil. * Hockey Blog In Canada

You know what this day needs? More Pogues! * What can we expect from Poni-Grabs-Lemon? Sharpen your pencils and brush upon your arith-a-ma-tic. Dr. Steve is taking you to school. * TSM gives us the quick and dirty scoop on the Marlies new head coach. * The Other Vatican likes what he sees

...it's definitely Monday. In case you were wondering, the fourth Leaf in the poll was Mike Van Ryn, and it's quite possible he said it was Monday as well, but he's currently in a full body cast after a mishap with a cotton ball.

What do you do when everywhere you go, everything is busy and you end up wildly behind schedule?  If you're anything like me, you watch some TV.  If you're Brian Burke though, it's all part of the plan... via i376.photobucket.com * Loser Domi

Or "Everybody Wang Chung Tonight" Short and sweet Leafs fans.  Nothing happened yesterday. * Arch is back with the heavy hitting questions the MSM is too afraid to ask. * Changing On the Fly is worried about Burke's penchant for talking to the media.  They also have new

Thank heavens for small victories.  Now find some wood to knock on, avoid all ladders and black cats, not open our umbrellas indoors and for Pete's sake, don't break any mirrors! Now, there's only one question left to ask... dirty harry do you feel

Lots of confusion kicked off this trade, but with some time, informed discussions and a few (4) beers, I'm liking this trade.  Honestly, I once thought Stralman had the potential to some day replace Kaberle on our blue line.  Why?  I have no idea.   The more I read,

Good morning all.  The name of the game is 80's Hair Metal. Every link has a lyric from some band of that era, either modified slightly or a direct quotation.  Some might be easy, some might be hard but for the most part I tried to be as

We made it through another week, Burke's first back since vacation.  So far, some minimal changes in the front office and none for the team.  Yet. It's Friday, so we'll keep it short and sweet.  Here's your linkage: * Norte emerges from his

After reading through the links today, I've come to the realization that the Kaberle trade discussions are not going to end anytime soon.  At first, I was a little apprehensive with this knowledge.  Kaberle is a Leafs lifer, and through his outstanding level of play, commitment to the

And nothing new to report.  However, chances are, that rumor mill will get cranking soon enough.  The Kaberle trade watch is still on, and regardless of which side of the fence you sit on the issue, it doesn't change the fact that the deadline on the open window,

Remember when there were hockey games on, and PPP an Chemmy would regale us with their wordsmithian ways.  Post upon post of fried gold goodness.  Throughout the Barlkosphere, a plethora of brilliance jammed up the intertubes.  Good times... Non sequitur; I'm being told the going rate for a

Where we had the hottest day on record since 1899.  I accept all forms of pity. First, for the ladies.  Some hockey related guy on guy (on guy) action.  You're welcome. via darisa.files.wordpress.com It's nice to know I can take a vacation, and

Yesterday marked a happy occasion for Leaf fans everywhere. Former Duck Francois Beauchemin signed a three year deal to ply his trade for the Leafs. In other news, squeals of joy were heard round the world at about 15:30 eastern. Hey baybee would you like to sit on my

With a wicked case of the allergy attacks me thinks, things will be short and brief..  I'll be keeping it short and sweet.  Nothing new has happened in Leafdom since, I can't remember when.  Days and days of nothing.  Are we done? via media.canada.com

Day three of free agency has come and gone and the Leafs, along with every team not named the Kings or Avalanche were fairly quiet. This is the spot where Mattblack regales us with his quirky "Britishness" and we all smile and nod.  Sadly, he was up all

This is the part where I, with the assistance of my co-host, summarize the new addition signings of the past day. via www.creepygif.com That's right.  A big goose egg in the action department.  You know that means?  Minimum action in the Barilkosphere (pro tip to Brian

Defense rocks, goals suck, yada yada yada...

We went from "I CAN'T WAIT" to "please, make it stop..." Colton Orr and a fistfull of dollars.  That's been your Leafs Free Agency day so far.

For the love of Peter, Paul and Mary, what is going on with the Kubina deal!?!?!?!?

Kubina to ATL for who?  Cammalleri offered a deal by Toronto?  Burke in Sweden working on Gustavsson? Things are happening... The word of the day is truculence.

Eyebleaf, my patron saint of optimism, would probably agree with Mark Twain's quote above.  Me, not so much.  Of course, after the reaction of Gomez for Higgins by Habs fans, they may be wishing nothing would happen... I'm approaching today with equal parts trepidation, excitement and

I'm exhausted. I'll write you a letter tomorrow, tonight I can't hold a pen.  Hurry up, hurry up, ain't you had enough of this stuff?  Ashtray floors, dirty clothes, and filthy jokes...my favorite Replacements tune, and my favorite version of said
