Joffrey Lupul had one of those nights last night, scoring all four goals in the big Ducks win. Alexi has him in the pool and now looks poised to assume third place overall. If Lupul keeps up this torrid pace, scoring four every game for the remainder of the playoffs,
Pearl Jam's tour kicks off tonight here in Toronto. I'll be there and I'll return tomorrow for show #2. Pearl Jam is enlightened enough to have a progressive policy regarding cameras, so I'll try and snap some pix. Before I head on down to the ACC, it's time for Pearl
I knew Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" was heavily covered, but I had no idea how many artists have recorded the gem. This thorough list of Cohen songs covered by other artists reveals it's been covered 82 times. It's not even the most covered Cohen song. "Suzanne" has been done 146 times
With a 2-0 leader in all four series, we're getting a clearer picture as to who is likely to advance. Marc has a solid ten point lead over Ryan right now, but Ryan has two Sabres whereas Marc has none. When it comes to Hurricanes, Marc has the clear advantage.
Every Monday I shuffle my entire MP3 collection in iTunes and list the first ten songs that play. Here are the ten tunes I heard today with a personal story about one of them. Chi - KornCome On - The VerveWhat Is?... - The KleptonesJump Around - House Of PainDig
The Camdens, a Christian family living in California, have been in our face for a decade. Perhaps they haven't been in your face, but they've been in mine. I live with a fan of their televison show. I'm not going to lie, I've seen a number of episodes from the
Last June, on a whim, I jotted down five superficial life goals. Number two on that list, right after "Celebrate Maple Leafs Stanley Cup victory" was "Watch Pearl Jam concert from backstage and meet Ed". The last time Pearl Jam came through Toronto, everything seemed to line up perfectly to
When the playoffs started, I was intriged by the first round match up between 2004 darling Miikka Kiprusoff and 2003 darling Jean-Sebastien Giguere. Little did I know at the time that Ilya Bryzgalov would so quickly become the coolest duck since Frank McCool, recording his third shutout in a row.
It's been a great Sunday so far. James got a bike, I mowed the lawn and fixed the shed and now there's a hockey game to watch. In honour of this fine Sunday, here are "Sunday" songs in my collection. Sunday Sun - BeckSunday Girl - BlondieChurch on Sunday -
Lorne Saxberg was 48. During his 27-year career at CBC, he was a widely recognized news anchor in television and radio, who was famous for his deeply sonorous voice and his easy-going delivery.
Every Playboy centerfold from December 1953 through May 2006 - This is important for historical purposes. There is much we can learn about a culture from the evolution of their centerfolds.
Batman Begins: 7 out of 10. I remember watching the teaser trailer for "Batman Begins" a week after Michelle's birth and thinking it looked pretty cool. I also took note of the amazing cast. They've got Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Tom Wilkinson and Ken Watanabe in

Rob Ford is a city councillor for Etobicoke North and he says some awfully stupid things. In case you've forgotten, here's a collection of Ford quotes from the past few years. "This is an insult to my constituents to even think about having a shelter in my ward!" - April,
The new look of this site is one week old tonight, but I hadn't given it a solid look in Internet Explorer until this morning. Sure, I gave it a cursury glance in IE to make sure the new code actually worked in the world's most popular browser, but my

I watched that wild Buffalo ~ Ottawa game last night. With goaltending like that, our playoff totals will go through the roof. I'm telling you, when the Sabres tied it up late and scored early in overtime, I was one happy pappy. The annual tradition is that the Maple Leafs defeat
I've stumbled across quite a few references to the shaving cream racket the past few weeks. It's as if people are just realizing the presumed need for shaving cream is a big scam. This is something I learned long ago. When I first started shaving as a niner, I was

Josh Towers allowed another five runs in the first inning last night against Boston. Towers, who is 0-6, became the first six-game loser in the majors. The Blue Jays are 5-3 against the Red Sox this season, and all the losses have come in Towers' starts. His ERA currently sits
In an effort to be fair and balanced I'd like to point out that CFNY Edge 102 is actively promoting July's Edgefest as Edgefest 2. You may recall I went off about the Edgefest line up the other day, releasing a yawn that was heard around the world. There have
I just submitted a tune for SLS15 consideration. I submitted "Hate Me" from Blue October. I instantly liked this song, but hesitated to submit it because it's a little poppy. But what the hell! This might be 2006's "Since You Been Gone"... a guilty pleasure I can't help but like.
I own the jerseys of two Dougies. One is a #93 home Toronto Maple Leafs jersey with Gilmour on the back and the other is a #7 Bills jersey for Flutie. At the age of 43, Flutie is considering retirement. I hope he plays one more year. In March of
