I thought the Leafs did a really good job neutralizing Alexander Ovechkin. He took a number of big hits, had an angry Bryan McCabe in his face all day and had little room to work his magic. Unfortunately, there were other Capitals on the ice who made us look like
"Public transportation is for jerks and lesbians."
Ever since Raymi the Minx wrote this entry on her blog this afternoon, my site has been visited by one Raymitheminxer after another. There are a few things Raymitheminxers should know before they quickly depart. Although I, like Raymi, am a young, attractive Torontonian, I don't post nude photos of
Allan Rock has said no, Frank McKenna has said no, Brian Tobin has said no and John Manley has said no. Few seem interested in running for the Liberal party leadership. Becoming the leader of the Liberal party almost guarantees you'll one day be Prime Minister. In the history of

Just about every parent thinks their kids are the best. You love them to pieces and you can't imagine another child in this world could be any smarter, sweeter or cuter. In this vein, I submit to you the fact that Michelle is the best sleeper ever. James himself has
Today, Wiarton Willie didn't see his shadow which tells us there will be an early spring. Screw Willie, this is spring. I spent 45 minutes tossing around a Frisbee this afternoon and it was damn warm. This is by far the mildest winter I can remember. When our snowman melted

There's surprisingly little about "Toronto Rocks" on the web. IMDB doesn't acknowledge its existence at all. I'm not referring to the 2003 AC~DC / Rolling Stones concert following SARS, there's a wealth of information about, I'm talking about my daily video show from the early 1980s. My memories of "Toronto
Tonight I heard the most refreshing interview with Kurt Vonnegut on CBC Radio One. His candor and honesty had be hanging on every syllable. Vonnegut is 83 now and sounds quite disappointed that he's lived this long. As he pointed out in the interview, he's been chain smoking filter-less Pall
Team Canada's blue line has injury issues. Ed Jovanovski is a no-go and Scott Niedermayer may have to withdraw as well. When the team was announced back in December, I proposed adding another defenseman outright. I wanted Dion Phaneuf in Turin. I hope The Great One realizes the time is
Sirius Canada will add Howard Stern to its lineup starting next week. This is a reversal of an earlier decision. I don't understand why he was left off the Canadian lineup in the first place. I was forced to find an alternative way of hearing Stern's show, and I've been

Despite having lost nine of their last ten games, the Leafs are still in decent shape to make the playoffs. We're currently sitting in the 8th and final spot with a three point lead over Montreal, Boston and Atlanta. Montreal actually has a couple of games in hand, but the
I use the word "cool" a lot. I always have. I even have James using it. As it turns out, "cool" is a rarity in the world of slang. It "remains the gold standard of slang in the 21st century, as reliable as a blue-chip stock, surviving like few expressions
It's update time at torontomike.com. In August, I wrote about Gord Downie's "Hallelujah". He covered Leonard Cohen's masterpiece for the movie "Saint Ralph" but I couldn't score a copy of the tune anywhere. I embarked on a hunt for Downie's "Hallelujah". I conducted a hard-target search of every gas
Oscar Nominees - You know you're curious. These just came down the pipe. It's nice to see "Crash" up for best picture...
Coretta Scott King was 78. She turned a life shattered by her husband's assassination into one devoted to enshrining his legacy of human rights and equality.
When Ed Belfour and Mats Sundin play well, this team wins. They were in top form last night and we ended a painful eight game losing streak. Jay Harrison scored his first point. He's looked pretty good out there as one of three rookies on the blue line. With Bryan
P.S.: 4.5 out of 10. I totally forgot I watched this last night. That tells you how memorable it was. It's not a bad premise but it doesn't go anywhere and you keep waiting for something to happen. Following this flick, we watched "Stevie", a documentary by Steve
