It's deja vu all over again. Didn't Jagr just score two goals to lead his Rangers to a 4-2 win? When you win just three of their last 15 games, you deserve to get booed off the ice. The Olympic break couldn't come at a better time for this team.

For the second time in as many days, the CBC has messed me up with their scheduling. First they threw that extra zero in the mix and now I tuned in the Leafs game at 18:40 only to find out it's in the first intermission. Let me get this

For the past couple of days, all anyone wants to talk about in this city is The Great One and his alleged ties to Rick Tocchet's illegal gambling ring which may or may not have ties to the Bruno-Scarfo crime family. Just the other day I wrote about the wiretaps
With another loss last night, we're officially ninth in the conference. Boston, the tenth place team, is merely a single point behind. Following the game, Bryan McCabe told reporters "Jagr put on a clinic out there." Good! We needed to attend such a clinic, I only hope we learned a

Prior to writing this entry regarding the Olympic games in Turin, I checked out CBC's broadcast schedule to learn when the opening ceremonies would be taking place. It's clearly marked Feb 10 01:00 which I immediately interpreted as one in the morning. Only this morning did I see "pm"
At 13:00 our time tomorrow, the opening ceremony of the 2006 Olympic Winter Games will be held in Turin, Italy. As I did during the 2004 games in Athens, I'll be following our fellow Canadians and writing an entry celebrating every medal we earn. I'm most excited, obviously, about
Has a fictional group of cartoon characters ever won a Grammy? They have now. "Feel Good Inc." by the Gorillaz and featuring De La Soul won last night for best pop collaboration with vocals. The Gorillaz are a fictional band comprised of virtual beings 2D, Murdoc, Noodle and Russel. I've

I'm not sure what to think of "Operation Slap Shot". For the unaware, "Operation Slap Shot" is the name of the New Jersey state police investigation into an illegal gambling ring with ties to organized crime allegedly run by Rick Tocchet. Tocchet is a former NHL player who is now
Just when I was about to stick a fork in Ed Belfour and declare him done like dinner, he's put together two fantastic outings in a row. It couldn't come at a better time with our arch rivals breathing down our necks. Prior to the game, former Leafs captain Darryl
