To borrow a phrase from fellow Torontonian Neil Young, tonight's the night. It all comes down to this. One game will settle the score and determine who is the supreme hockey nation. Canada faces off against Finland at the ACC. I'm quite looking forward to this game, but it's bitter
Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following submission earlier today. Hey Mike...by some unprecedented stroke of luck I discovered that CBC radio (99.1 I think) was covering the game on Saturday night. Paul C.D'oh! I never left the

"Yeah, I'm hot, because I'm tired of people taking shots at Canadian hockey. It sickens my stomach to turn the TV on. It makes me ill to hear what's being said. . . . I know the whole world wants us to lose, except for Canada and Canada fans and our players. We'll
When you're treating your mom to a concert, it's probably going to be an artist like Rod Stewart, Simon & Garfunkle or Cher. Someone safe and bland, right? Last night, I treated my mom to Kid Rock. I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed this show. For one night I
Bring on the Finns! Canada was outworked, outplayed for long stretches and outshot 40-24, but Vincent Lecavalier scored 3:45 into overtime to earn us a thrilling 4-3 victory over the Czech Republic on Saturday night. I left a tie game when I entered the Molson Amphitheatre last night but
Ask anyone where they were three years ago today and they'll tell you. 2,749 people were killed in Manhattan, 184 people died in Washington and 40 died in Pennsylvania as a result of the worst act of terrorism ever to take place on North American soil. I remember that
Fellow Hip fan Brent Carter wants a Gmail invite but when he contacted me he failed to provide an email address I could send the invite to. Brent, if you're out there, contact me again with your email address and I'll hook you up. That goes for anyone else too.
"It's BTO. They're Canada's answer to ELP. Their big hit was TCB. That's how we talked in the 70's. We didn't have a moment to spare."
A couple of days ago, I put out the call that I'm unloading all of my Gmail invites and a few piped up and were rewarded. I still have a few more so if you want Gmail contact me with the email address you want the Gmail invite sent to.
I totally get the whole "Taste of the Danforth" thing because it's a primarily Greek district and their street festival is all about souvlaki and baklava. I get it. What exactly is the deal with this weekend's "Taste of the Kingsway"? How exactly does the Kingsway taste? It seems awfully

The definitive band of my generation, Nirvana, is set to release a three-CD boxed set in November. Limited editions of the project will include a DVD, which boasts footage of the Kurt Cobain-led band playing at a 1987 house party. We were supposed to get this gift for Christmas 2001,
I got an email from another Mike Boon earlier today. Occasionally I hear from someone who shares my name when they Google their name or visit their name dot com. This Mike Boon lives in England as a Construction Manager for this company, is 44 years old and has three
To mark the 25th anniversary of the Clash's third album, Sony will reissue a special edition of London Calling on September 21, 2004. I remember the winter I discovered London Calling. That cassette secured a permanent home in my Walkman for months. It got me from Jane to Islington station
I've spent a great deal of time writing about my dislike for Dubya and his politics but I never intended to give Dick Cheney a free pass. I don't know a whole lot about him, but I just read The Curse of Dick Cheney in Rolling Stone and it's pretty
It's been tough catching all the games in this great tournament. I missed the entire quarterfinals last night because I was playing a ball game. From what I've seen Jarome Iginla had a great game with two goals and an assist while Martin Brodeur recorded the easy shutout. So far
Following the high of last week, we in Raging Storm came crashing down to earth and lost the championship series last night. It would be easy to blame this loss on the inclement weather or the bad calls that kept going against us, but in the end we lost because
I share an MP3 from my collection every Wednesday. You have seven days to grab this week's MP3. Please right-click your mouse and select "Save Link As..." or "Save target as..." so you can download it to your PC before playing. Beck - Loser This selection will make more sense
Gmail invites for everyone! If you want Gmail, contact me with the email address you want the Gmail invite sent to. I'm in a giving mood.
So Ken Jennings won Jeopardy! again last night. Have you ever wondered how long his streak continues for? Jeopardy is taped quite a bit in advance and there's an apparent leak as to how many he wins in succession and how much he wins in total. I don't want to
The remnants of Hurricane Frances are expected to hit Toronto later this afternoon. That means rain, rain and more rain. Beginning some time this afternoon it's supposed to start raining and it's not going to stop until some time tomorrow. Frances is one selfish bee-atch. Tonight we in Raging Storm
