  An Open Letter to Toronto Maple Leafs Fans

  Comments: (0)

  Dear Most Valuable Losers: Yesterday, continuing a long-standing trend, another Toronto reporter took a cheap shot at Leaf fans. This time it was Howard Berger who called us "losers" but we've seem the same cookie-cutter article from virtually everyone who covers the team. Quite frankly, we've had enough. As fans, we believe that those most deserving of our praise and our scorn are directly involved in the game, whether it's on the ice, in the press box or in the executive corridors. Fans don't pencil in the starting five, make bad trades, or write the headlines of the day and shouldn't be blamed ...

  It Had to Be Cox

  Comments: (0)

  Ladies and gentlemen, guys and dolls, boys and girls, and the rest of you as well. I have returned. But for how long? Let me assure you, I haven't a clue. It could be this singular post, it could be several. Only time, or perhaps a clairvoyant, will tell. But what I do know is this, you're asking yourself. Why? Why is he back? And what was it exactly that caused him to return? What could have possibly dragged him back to this cesspool of wasted time with its shattered illusions of grandeur? I answer; nothing but these two things: The first would be the imminent return of NHL ...

  The Summer So Far

  Comments: (0)

  It's been an interesting summer for Leafs fans so far. By interesting I mean, of course, completely confusing. For instance: Cliff Fletcher's insistence upon his hiring that he will not be GM come next season. Cliff Fletcher's sudden about-face earlier this month when he said he would remain GM until the end of next season. Cliff Fletcher's insistence that he wouldn't be firing Paul Maurice. Cliff Fletcher's dismissal of Paul Maurice in May. Cliff Fletcher's insistence that he was firing Paul Maurice to "clear the decks" for the new GM. Cliff Fletcher's hiring of Ron Wilson in early June. Cliff Fletcher's insistence that this team needed to ...

  My Conversation with the Toronto Maple Leafs

  Comments: (1)

  Hey. How are you? How was your day? Did the interview with Mr. Nonnis go well? Great… listen, I think we need to talk. No, no, no. I'm not breaking up with you, but I think we need to have a frank discussion about some... feelings I've been having. What? No, I'm not seeing another team… but I'd being dishonest if I said that it hadn't crossed my mind. Who? You don't really want to know, do you? No, it isn't Calgary. Calgary was a long time ago, and I was young. No, not Edmonton or Vancouver. Ottawa? Are you serious? Don't you know me at all? No, it isn't an American team. Well, you’re ...

  A Seasonal Retrospective Part 3: All These Things That I Have Said

  Comments: (0)

  Over the course of the 2007/08 NHL season I wrote at least 12 posts about the Toronto Maple Leafs. In these posts I made predictions, I offered amateur analysis and I opined on many a player and organizational decision. I thought It'd be fun to pull some stuff out of those articles and see how well I did using the magic of hindsight. Ready? Set. Go! On November 14th, 2007 in the post Handlebars Rule! I said: "Mats Sundin is having his "twilight" year and it's probably not going to count for anything." Well, I was right. Mats did about as much as you can ...
