We peppered 56 shots at Antero Niittymaki but it wasn't enough. Another night, another loss for the blue and white. We fell to 1-4-1 since goalie Vesa Toskala went down with a groin injury. Sundin scored both Leafs goals, giving him 543 for his career. That moves him past Stan
I'm submitting a song for SLS19 consideration. I'm submitting "Make It Wit Chu" by Queens of the Stone Age. It totally dig this bluesy QOTSA number. It's quite unlike any QOTSA song I've ever heard, and I own the entire catalogue. This sucker plods along and when it ends you're
If you're watching tonight's game, you just saw a familiar sight. It was Carlo Colaiacovo being helped off the ice with a knee injury. He also missed the Maple Leafs' first 37 games of the season with a knee injury. Colaiacovo hasn't yet turned 25 and may still meet our
I spent the day putting up dry wall but had this gold medal game on the radio before breaking to watch overtime on the telly. Matt Halischuk scored 3:36 in to give us a 3-2 win over Sweden securing our fourth championship in a row. I hope we don't
"I dunno what to tell you, Marge! I don't think about things. I mean, I respect those who do, but... I just try and make the day not hurt until I can crawl back in with you."

I watched this semi-final on tsn.ca and was I ever impressed. Their broadband network was so clear and fluid, I thought I was watching television. For the seventh year in a row, we're going for gold. This time we face Sweden in the championship game, a chance for revenge.
As ordered by my doctor, I saw a physiotherapist today. Background on what got me to this point can be found here. The therapist heard my story, asked some questions and performed some tests. He feels my calf muscle and hamstring is far too tight. He suspects the run that
Milt Dunnell was 102. He was a Canadian sportswriter, known chiefly for his work at the Toronto Star. I grew up reading Milt Dunnell in the Star. For a taste of his greatness, here's an article of his from May 18, 1983 entitled "Gretzky class his trademark win or lose"
This was a close game heading into the third period. Then, in a 48 second splurge, the Pens scored three times on Scott Clemmensen, handing him his first loss as a Leaf. This is our seventh loss in nine games. Mats Sundin is still playing awesome and I hope JFJ
I need a good laugh. After this Leafs game I'll watch a couple of episodes of "Arrested Development" which is guaranteed to do the trick, but I need something to tide me over. I need "The Naked Gun". I remember leaving the theatre after watching "The Naked Gun: From the
I'm still in shock. At 10:39 am I received this instant message from my mom. "Bruce is dead michael" followed immediately by "i feel sick". Bruce Gowan was married to my mother's only sister for over 35 years. That made him a key part of my family from the
Zodiac: 8 out of 10. David Fincher directed "Seven" and "Fight Club", so we know he's got the chops. "Zodiac" is a completely different kind of film but equally compelling. I enjoyed it, and I rarely enjoy any film longer than two hours. "Zodiac" is closer to three hours than
When 2007 came to a close, I had fun putting together a list of my favourite songs and my favourite television shows of the year. I'd love to be able to put together a list of my favourite movies of 2007, but I can't do that. Nope, that ain't how
Night at the Museum: 4 out of 10. Ben Stiller has done some good stuff. There's Something About Mary and The Royal Tenenbaums are two of my favourite comedies of all-time. Night at the Museum, however, is the rarest of comedies. It's a comedy without laughs. It earned a four

It turns out Chris Bosh isn't just a good basketball player, he's got a sense of humour too. He put together a little promo video in an attempt to secure the votes necessary to send him to the all-star game in New Orleans. I say 20.3 PPG and 9.
I missed this quarter-final victory over Finland because I had to work but it sounds like Brad Marchand is the hero with two goals including the winner. This sets up a tough semi-final between Canada and USA on Friday. Last year's semi-final featured the same match up and a thrilling
In 2007, I got a Facebook account. I wasn't alone. Toronto became the first city in North America to break 1 million subscribers. Last I checked Toronto proper had 2,503,281 residents. There's no way these grandiose claims that 1,000,000 of us have Facebook accounts is true.
You almost feel bad for Andrew Raycroft. He played the bulk of games last year before losing his starting job to Vesa Toskala this year and even with Toskala injured he finds himself playing backup. Raycroft had his shot and blew it, but you've still gotta feel for the dude.
I borrowed every season of "Arrested Development" on DVD and I'm making my way from the pilot to the finale. I've seen every episode at least once before but it's just as good the second, third or fourth time through. The cast and writing is deliciously funny. One character on
As I watch the snow fall at Ralph Wilson Stadium, I realize there's a reason we don't play NHL games outdoors. It's tough to get the ice right, there's a wind factor and 73,000 freeze their butts off in the stands. As terrible an idea as this is, I
These are the top searches that referred people to this site in December of 2007. I'm still puzzled by all the people looking for Ralph Wiggums' Valentine's Day card. I would have guessed that's more of a February surge. And what's with people searching for nude pictures of Marge? Do
Kingston, Ontario's Bedouin Soundclash did an awesome cover of U2's "New Year's Day". Enjoy.
My radio is tuned to 102.1 as I listen to their top 102 countdown of 2007. I can't remember the last December 31 I didn't do this, it's sort of an annual tradition of mine. This year I'll record the top ten live as I listen. Reload this page
