There would be no 451st win for Curtis Joseph on this night. Going 0 for 5 on the powerplay didn't help matters. Cujo, by the way, has a 3.93 GAA. Why not see what Pogge has? Current Record Last GamesSeason Leaders15-17-6 36 points 4th in Northeast Division4-1 Loss vs.
Donald Westlake was 75. He was the prolific mystery writer who wrote more than 100 books, using his own name and several pseudonyms, including Richard Stark, Tucker Coe, Samuel Holt and Edwin West.
Drillbit Taylor: 5 out of 10. Judd Apatow has produced some very funny films. This isn't one of them. Sure, there are a few chuckles in the mix, but at 109 minutes it feels awfully long and it's a mere shadow of the comedy Superbad was. In fact, save yourself
Below are the top 102 songs of 2008, according to 102.1 The Edge. I threw down my personal top 10 right here. My tunes ranked 72, 62, 25, 10, 19, 67, 40, 36, n/a and 22 respectively. That n/a is for "Inside the Cinema" by Culture Reject
Last night I enjoyed a calm, relaxing New Year's Eve. I prefer it that way. Five years ago, my New Year's Eve was anything but calm and relaxing. Five years ago, we had one child. James was one and Michelle was on the way, arriving in July. James also had
Down 3-0 early, things were looking grim. Then, John Tavares took over, scoring two goals in a span of 48 seconds to bring us back. Heck, even his third goal of the net, an empty netter, was something special. He picked up the puck at the U.S. blue-line, held
We're only through two periods and I'm already exhausted. Tonight's Canada-USA hockey game has included a furious comeback by the good guys, amazing saves, tremendous action and glimpses of greatness from The Next One. This is gonna be one helluva finish...
Don't forget Torontonians, the TTC is completely free tonight from midnight to 4 am. Go ahead, get drunk and stupid as you ring in the new year, then leave your car and TTC it home. The free ride tonight is thanks to Liberty Entertainment Group. They've formed a coalition called
I share an MP3 from my collection every Wednesday. You have seven days to grab this week's MP3. Please right-click your mouse and select "Save Link As..." or "Save target as..." so you can download it to your PC before playing. Diana Krall - What Are You Doing New Year's
My personal MP3 player of choice is the iPod Touch. iPods don't commit suicide, at least they don't en masse. There's word at this hour that 30GB Zunes are killing themselves in droves. The internet is awash with reports that the 30GB Zune is committing suicide across the planet. Not
I first wrote about Feed the Animals, the fourth album by Girl Talk, back in September. Feed the Animals is one massive mash-up of dozens and dozens of sampled songs, an orgy of tunes you know and love. As you can imagine, this isn't an album that could ever be
Curtis Joseph finally has his 450th career NHL victory. He actually looked pretty sharp after allowing two quick goals and we came back to improve his record this season to 1-4-1. Cujo will be rewarded for his efforts with another start tomorrow night when the Maple Leafs host the Buffalo
For no particularly good reason, I wanted to revisit the Toronto Raptors' inaugural season. Alvin Robertson scored the first basket in franchise history and we went on to beat the New Jersey Nets 94-78 at SkyDome that magical opening night. I remember tuning in and realizing I was going to
I blogged less in 2008 than I did in any calendar year since 2003. I know this because I just crunched the numbers. Blog Entries by Year 2008 - 14332007 - 16592006 - 15982005 - 16402004 - 17222003 - 3692002 - 3My calculator tells me that even during a slow
I started noticing grey hairs in my head when I was 21. By the time I was 30, I had a definite salt and pepper thing happening. I'm not one to dye my hair, so I let nature take its course and hoped for the best. I'm now 34, and
A lot of my favourite television shows weren't seen in 2008. The Sopranos finished up in 2007 while Curb Your Enthusiasm and Flight of the Conchords took the year off. In 2008 I watched less traditional television than ever before, spending more time with documentaries and movies. I was about
There are 5-1 games and then there are 5-1 games. I watched this entire contest, and it was far closer than the score would make it appear. German goaltender Philipp Grubauer made 44 saves on 49 shots. Wednesday's final game between Canada and the U.S. is a biggie, with
One of the gifts exchanged this Christmas was a specific Pioneer DVD player my brother Ryan wanted. The DVD box noted the player was black, but in addition to black used the term "Negro". I know enough French to know black in French is noir. Since negro is an ethnic
Oh 2008, where have you gone? It seems like only a year ago you showed up, all fresh and new. Now, it's time to say goodbye. Here's my 10 favourite songs of 2008 complete with videos, when possible. 10. "Oblivion" by Wintersleep9. "Wild International" by One Day as a Lion8.
The Maple Leafs have lost three games in a row, getting outscored 16-4. We're in danger of becoming the Kazakhstan of the NHL, and that might just be what the doctor ordered. Brian Burke, listen up. Outside of our young Jedi, trade anyone who will bring you a draft pick.
There's no glory in crushing a lesser-light. It's the easiest shutout Chet Pickard will ever record. Looking ahead, we have a tougher task with the United States on New Years' Eve, with the winner securing a bye to the semi-finals. We'll consider today's game a light practice in preparation for
My buddy and slo-pitch teammate Kic put up a Facebook profile pic that took me back to the moment before it all changed. It's a moment we Toronto sports fans are still stuck in, a moment of collective elation that will likely never be topped. Before I continue, here's the
Now that SLS20 is in the bag, it's time to deconstruct the 20 tunes that made the final cut. How much of SLS20 is CanCon? How many artists are making their first appearance on SLS? Find out the answers to these questions and more below. Canadian Content - 8 (Billy
Slumdog Millionaire: 9 out of 10. Because my team won the company softball tournament last summer, I won two free passes to a movie at any Empire Theatre location. The thing is, there really is no Empire Theatre near my home, but when I saw Slumdog Millionaire was playing at
Yeah, I listened to hair bands in the 80s. I admit it. I liked Motley Crue, Poison, Skid Row, Cinderella and, the best of the bunch, Guns N' Roses. Hair bands all followed the same strategy. Hard rocker singles were followed by a power ballad. Def Leppard would release "Pour
