Aw-ful adj. Extremely bad or unpleasant; terrible: the Maple Leafs were awful last night. On the positive front, Eddie Belfour should return tonight and a big deal for a defensemen is in the works. Will it be Sergei Gonchar or Brian Leetch? Who will we have to give up? Stay
Woman Says 'I Don't' At NBA Game - If you're going to propose to your girl during half-time of an NBA game at centre court, you'd better be sure her answer will be "Yes". A dude at this weekend's Indiana Pacers-Washington Wizards game pulled this stunt and...well...lets just
One of my favourite sources of news is the Google News Page. It's a nice synopsis of some of the top news stories with links to numerous publications. Unfortunately, most of the top news stories are negative. War, famine, disease, corruption, controversy, death, terrorism, you get the idea. I stumbled

This ticks me off. With Ottawa 6-1-1-2 in their last ten games and showing no sign of letting up, the Maple Leafs have to win these games. Playing Carolina at the ACC has to amount to two points in the standings. There is no other option for a serious contender.

Quite a few movies are filmed in Toronto. Rarely does Toronto actually play Toronto but more often New York or Chicago in these pictures. Still, Torontonians like myself know it's Toronto and enjoy seeing our fair city play a role in many a major motion picture. So many films are
