PrintBURLINGTON, VT - Socially conscious dairy confection manufacturer Ben & Jerry's has today annouced they will be introducing a new flavour for the summer, honouring potty-mouthed Leaf favourite, John Mitchell.
The new flavour, to be named 'F___ing Strawberry Shootout Sniper'', will feature real strawberry pieces smothered in rich vanilla ice cream, along with marshmallow shapes of your favourite cuss words in all their eye-watering glory.
Rumoured to have been amongst the rejected names for the new product were 'C___sucking Chocolate Crunch' and 'The Toronto S__py T_t w__k Treat' *.
Mitchell, 24, was unavailable for comment as he was answering a charge of using foul and abusive language towards an arresting officer at his local courthouse.
* This product may already be available via other outlets.

Leaf Nation Rules
The crowd in Tampa was awesome last night. The game thread here was great as well.

Sometimes the NHL isn't all stupid...
having Leafs games in Florida during March Break. They know the Leaf Nation has passports and will travel.
Running over terribleness in search for something positive about the Leafs. Anything? Anyone?!

I've heard
the purpose of putting NHL teams in Florida, two of them especially, was to give all the snowbirds down there a hockey team to watch but it seems they don’t show up unless the Leafs are playing there…
"God's in His heaven. All's right with the world." - Robert Browning (1812-1889)
I remember
A comment from one of the original Kings owners, something along the lines of “We thought hockey would be an easy sell in LA because of all the Canadians here. Turns out they’re here because they hate hockey.”
Not entirely true… I was at the Feb 12th Leaf game in Tampa. We noticed the place was less than full and, when we realized that the Capitals were supposed to be in town on the 14th, we got tickets for that game too (I love my wife – agreeing to go to see Ovie on Valentine’s Day!). The Caps game was about as well attended as the Leafs game – I was astonished how many red Washington jerseys I saw in the stands.
Ultimately, I think the Lightning do depend on the visitors’ crowd to help fill the building – which doesn’t bode well for their continued viability – but it’s not just the Leafs that are a draw down there.

And to top it off once again, I love MattBlack. And those sentiments don’t change despite someone long time ago mistakenly suggesting he wasn’t a mister.

General love for Mr. Black, indeed
However, Bitter Leaf Fan link goes to DGB instead.
In other news, I think I’ve figured out who’s behind the Brian Burke Twitter account.

This is a lot more difficult than it looks, you know.
You've had all your word nourishment for one day.
Not joking
I was actually thinking this morning how challenging it must be to have a new FTB ready to go everyday by 6am. Bravo and cheers, Mr. Black.

MattBlack does, in fact, rock. It’s scientific fact.

Anyone else love
how apeshit Burke has been going in the press box these last few games?
Imagine how he’d react in the PLAYOFFS!!!!111?

it’s fantastic. of course he wouldn’t mind a lottery pick, but if our current young guys are actually winning, then that means they’re not as shit as everyone says they are, and Burke’s rebuilding job may not be as impossible as first thought.
i just love the emotion. he almost fist pumped last night. it was like a weird double fist pump.
but happiness was there.
i love john mitchell.

I second
the Mitchell love. ‘C___sucking Chocolate Crunch’ sounds incredibly delicious.

Burke was so happy that his paper flew out from his hands as he cheered for Mitchell’s goal in the shootout.

I’m still trying to figure out all the bleeped out words in ‘The Toronto S__py T_t w__k Treat’ . Must be some British ones in there or something

Just because Brodeur supposedly did something yesterday
Here is my list of all-time goalies:
1. Terry Sawchuk
2. Patrick Roy
3. Jacques Plante
4. Glenn Hall
5. Dominik Hasek
6. Martin Brodeur
7. Ken Dryden
8. Vladislav Tretiek
9. Bill Durnan
10. Turk Broda

Perhaps, but I value old-timers more highly than most. And I deducted points for Hasek since he played in one of the lowest scoring eras in NHL history (though he dominated the period). In actuality, I probably have Jacques Plante too low, as well. But hey, I am a Leafs fan.

what about Eddie the Eagle?
Dude was a psycho, but had a pretty solid career.

He did have a solid career, but I’m not sure who he would knock off my list. Now if this was craziest goalies, he would have a good shot at top three. His million dollar rant to the police officer was priceless.

Google and I can confirm that it was indeed a Dr. Evil-like one BILLION dollars that Eddie offered. Here’s a pretty funny article about the whole incident.

My favourite part of this article:
Belfour’s opponents couldn’t have made up stuff this good. During the first round of the playoffs against the Stars that season, the Edmonton Oilers flashed this limited-time offer on their scoreboard:
“Get the complete set of Eddie Belfour Drinking Songs. Not sold in stores, but available now for $1 billion, plus shipping and handling.”

Thanks for the correction jr and kim. That pretty much seals Belfour’s spot on the top three doesn’t it?
