Mikael Tellqvist started in goal for St. John's, stopping 30 of 35 shots before giving way to Jean-Francois Racine with six minutes left in the contest. Tellqvist suffered a concussion after taking a knee to the head in a third-period collision with the Admirals' Scottie Upshall. We have Milwaukee again
I noticed the majority of my entries today are about television so I'm continuing this trend by sharing the five shows Taryn watches alone because I won't watch them with her. The BacheloretteGilmore Girls7th HeavenEverybody Loves RaymondJoan of Arcadia

As previously declared, I won't miss a new episode of "The Simpsons". I've been watching for half my life and I'll continue watching until Matt Groening pulls the plug. Here we are in season sixteen and I can see the ratings slipping. I'm frequently told that "The Simpsons" is no
There are a couple of programs I'm looking forward to watching tonight. First, at 20:30 EST on CTV, it's the first of Kevin Smith's three-episode story arc on "Degrassi: The Next Generation". A love triangle between Joey, Caitlin and Smith? Cool... Then, at 21:00 EST on CBC, I'm
I never realized that how we purchase milk was viewed so peculiarly by those outside of Canada. We've always purchased milk in three bags totalling 4 litres. When one bag is finished it gets recycled and we drop another bag in the pitcher. Here are the steps involved for those
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind: 8 out of 10. "How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd". ~ Alexander Pope I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Both Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet
Mikael Tellqvist stopped 40 of the Cleveland Barons 42 shots while his counterpart, Dimitri Patzold made a costly mistake. Down 2-1 to the Leafs, Patzold went behind the net to play a dump in but inadvertently left the puck for St. John's forward, Jeremy Williams, who wheeled around and stuffed

Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following submission earlier today. I wait for your links (most are awesome), but todays was sheer crap. That wasn't music & seeing your choices with your mp3 collection, most of it is not music to
Mario Lemieux is using the new math. He says the chances of settling the NHL lockout in time to save part of the 2004-05 season are "50-50." I know this because I read it on this TSN.ca page. I almost didn't stick around though because my browsing was rudely
System of Down's "Cigaro" - Fellow fans of System of a Down, I share with you their new single. "Mesmerize/Hypnotize" is coming soon but this is a sweet taste that should tide us over. It's the kind of awesome mania you'd expect from this killer band. I can't wait

For the first time in 19 years, the MVP of the Super Bowl will not proclaim he's going to Disney World. The campaign kicked off in 1987 with Super Bowl MVP Phil Simms and that phrase has been utterred after ever championship since, until now. Was Mickey frightened away by

Garden State: 6 out of 10. I couldn't wait to see this film. I have been hearing hype about it for months, about how it defines a generation and is one of the best films of 2004. I was looking forward to a well written, interesting little flick that would
I'm not a fan of the two week delay between the NFL conference finals and the Super Bowl. The big game should be played this Sunday while everyone is still interested. Two weeks of preamble and hypothesis is one week too long. If you're curious, I think the Pats will

I'm a big fan of "Fight Club". You'll find it at #5 on my list of ten favourite flicks and I've watched the DVD several times. One of my favourite scenes in this great movie is the closing shot of buildings collapsing while Jack and Marla look out the window.
U2's "All Because Of You" and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Maps" have very little in common. One bores me to tears and the other is one of my favourite tracks from 2004. "Maps" has more soul in one 3 second sample than "All Because Of You" has throughout. Unfortunately, there
A scoreless overtime set up the shootout that saw each team go three rounds of five shooters before Andre Savage scored on the 15th shot to give the Hershey Bears a 3-2 shootout win over the St. John's Maple Leafs. Mikael Tellqvist made eight straight shootout saves before allowing the
CBC Newsworld recently aired the eight hour documentary "Death on the Staircase" over a period of six nights. We taped the entire series and were riveted for every minute of these eight hours. Jean-Xavier de Lestrade had complete access to the primary players and minute details of this murder mystery
They've announced the first two performers for this year's 34th Annual Juno Awards ceremony and they're two of my favourites. The Tragically Hip and Neil Young will perform live and suddenly I'm quite interested. Between the two artists I have 21 discs in my collection. I'll be watching the Juno
