Mother Nature came through today with a gorgeous day so we spent it at The Kortright Centre, a conservation park in in Woodbridge, Ontario. It's only minutes from the city, but while you're hiking the trails you feel as though you're away from it all. Everyone had a blast and

Wow, that was another thriller as we continue to live this glorious pipe dream. When Matt Stajan scored that goal with 1:08 left in overtime you should have heard the scream I let out. Hell, you probably did. Although I usually defend Mats Sundin when people talk about cutting

Someone who goes by the name freiherrin wrote an interesting piece about plagiarism in the Sour Talk forum. He/she stumbled upon the SLS page for Neverending White Light's "The Grace" and caught Carter and I discussing the songs "The Grace" reminded us of. In response, freiherrin went off about
It's still too little, too late, but Mats Sundin is on fire. Last night, he had four goals and two assists. I don't remember ever seeing him play better than he played last night. Tampa Bay lost, and with three games remaining they have 89 points. We've got four to
