Is this how it's going to be all season? We were down 3-0 early last night but fought back to secure a point in overtime. It seems we do this just about every game, we fall behind early and then battle back. How do you sustain that over an 82
Tomorrow we'll return to our regular blogging schedule, but tonight it's all about our neighbours to the south. America has elected an African-American as their President, 232 years after the United States Declaration of Independence. I've recently been asked if I was rooting for Obama because he's black. I followed

I held on to this photo just so I could post it the morning of November 4th, 2008. You'll have to click through to see the picture I was going to post, because I've decided not to post it. I'm going to post a different image this morning. This poster
It's been almost two months since I downloaded Girl Talk's Feed the Animals. It's one of those pay-what-you-want deals and it's a mash-up of hundreds of tunes. Part of the fun in listening to Feed the Animals is naming the samples. Trust me, nobody could nail them all, so I
I'm no political scientist, but I don't anticipate a nail-biter tomorrow night. This will be an overwhelming electoral college victory for Barack Obama. But let's not celebrate too early... Awesome animated gif stolen from WFMU's Beware of the Blog.
Apparently, our 2-0 lead isn't safe either. The Hurricanes stormed us in the third and we never recovered, although these cardiac kids came close. It wasn't a great night for Curtis Joseph, winless in three outings this season. If Tosky was between the pipes, we'd have pulled this out. Current
Don't mind me, I'm just testing Grooveshark. They claim they can play millions of songs on demand, and even let you embed the songs on your site. Here's some old school Toronto hip hop for ya. If they've got the Maestro, I'm impressed.
Last December I wrote about putting on skates for the first time in about fifteen years. I bought a pair of skates and skated with my son every Saturday through the winter. I just joined a recreational hockey team, and we make our ice debut on Friday. I haven't played
Your 2-0 lead isn't safe against this lovable squad of overachievers. We're fast, we work hard and, dammit, we're winning. That 5.5 minutes of awesomeness in the 3rd would melt even the coldest heart. And if one more person gives me the "Leafs can't even lose right" line, I

Jacques Piccard was 86. He was the Swiss deep sea explorer and inventor who holds the record for travelling to the deepest point underwater.
This planet we all share really isn't that big. Like many of you, I tend to focus on North American news and events. Sure, I read the international news from the BBC, but it's primarily headline reading unless it's a significant news event. I don't pretend to be an expert
I've got a new television station. Channel 302 is now HBO Canada and it's free with TMN. On the surface this sounds pretty cool. I've been a huge fan of some HBO shows, from Dream On to Larry Sanders through Oz, The Sopranos and Six Feet Under. Some of my
For the second year in a row, my daughter changed her mind with less than an hour to go before venturing out trick or treating. Last year, she was all set on being a baby butterfly and then decided to go as Cinderella at the last moment. This year she
Studs Terkel was 96. He was the ageless master of listening and speaking, a broadcaster, activist and Pulitzer Prize-winning author whose best-selling oral histories celebrated the common people he liked to call the "non-celebrated."
My favourite songs with "monster" in the title, with apologies to Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt Kickers Monsters - Band of HorsesMonster Hospital - MetricMonster - L7Of Birds, Moons & Monsters - MGMTMonster in the Mirror - Grover
Howard Berger has been covering the Leafs on The Fan 590 since it was at 1430. I have never read his blog until today. A chap who goes by the name eyebleaf contacted me about this entry on Howard Berger's blog. I'm going to ask you not to click through
My favourite songs that will "scare" you Scared - The Tragically HipRunning Scared - Roy OrbisonY'all Scared - OutkastScarecrow - BeckScarecrow - Ministry
Michelle thinks the Jack O'Lantern we carved this morning is the scariest one ever. I don't have the heart to tell her I was drained from a long day at work and essentially mailed this one in. Here are previous, better pumpkins. At least Michelle is happy with this year's
This team of ours is scrappy. You can't count them out because they never give up and they always give the proverbial and technically impossible 110%. Almost as impossible, we actually won this one in a shootout. I kid you not, Tosky beat Brodeur. It was our first shootout win
As I watch the Leafs play New Jersey, I realize I missed the first Raptors game of the 2008/2009 season. I've been a big Raptors fan since day one, but during the winter they're the second best game in town. That's pretty unfair to the Raps, who have a

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story: 6 out of 10. "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" isn't in the same league as "Knocked Up" or "Superbad," but it's a fun 90 minutes if you're just looking for a few laughs, some neat cameos and music that ain't half bad. Look
