I'm sorry, have we met?

Buffalo Sabres at Toronto Maple Leafs, Dec 21, 2009 7:00 PM EST


Well, aren't we all getting friendly and cozy. Apparently the NHL doesn't like to keep it fresh because once again it is the Leafs and the Sabres. Blah blah blah Ryan Miller versus Jonas Gustavsson. This is all a bit deja vu. What? I said, this is all a bit deja vu.

Here is some music to break it all up. It is LCD Soundsystem with On Repeat;

He’s the guy who used to be on the FAN 590 until he got fired.

Back in the 90s, when I listened to quite a bit more of THE FAN, Norm was known for:

    * An unapologetic, unfazed appreciation for “God’s Team”, the Toronto Maple Leafs
    * A belief Wendel Clark was the greatest player in the history of the game
    * An absolute hate-on for the Muder City Dead Things
    * A HammerHead Alert he would sound if you disagreed with any of the above

It was fun late-night radio back in the day. I haven’t heard him in years, but you don’t soon forget a guy who tells you Wendel Clark is better than Mario Lemieux and believes every syllable.
