As of right now, only Leaf Fan in Van, Loser Domi, and 1967ers have qualified for the main contest. Blurr, blue with age, Karina, Archimedies and Jared are all halfway there. There are two parts to the main contest (2 fanposts, 20 comments) and it can sometimes be tough to come up with ideas about what to write so here's an easy one: The Origins of Fandom. When did you become a fan? What made you choose the Leafs? What's made you stick around?
As for the recommendation contest, no one's qualified for that one yet so get recommending! And remember, your friends have to make 20 comments so get them to drop by for a game thread.
On to the links:
- An early look at this year's UFA/RFA class.
- Steve looks at some team numbers. He can't win the prizes yet either.
- TSM wonders if Brian Burke can trade cap space for picks. It's a classic Cox article: set an impossible task and then condemn the Leafs for not achieving it. Not a possible winner either.
- The General calls out Antropov. Ummm he's just working according to the high draft pick plan. Incidentally, neither The General or Antropov are eligible for the Sundin jersey.
- A look at the blogosphere of yesteryear.
