PrintI hope you all had a lovely weekend. Before we get down to the links, here is someone we can add to the gallery of "Famous People In Leafs Apparel" along with Jennifer Love Hewitt and Robert Smith.
It's Dennis freaking Leary! Now, Based on my limited knowledge of Rescue Me, him in a Leafs shirt is curious but I will just roll with it. Stick tap to The Canadian for pulling this up for me. Here are your links and slide me anything I missed;
- I kinda dropped the ball on linking this, my apologies. But a bit on Mats Sundin and Pierre Page.
- Down Goes Brown kicks off a new series of Maple Leaf playoff overtime goals.
- Gossip: ridiculous trade rumors not related to the Leafs!
- A wonderful article about how Joe Sakic changed the business of hockey. It's long but give it a read.
- Wyshynski takes a look at the future of finances in the NHL. Man, I am going to get sick of typing Chris Pronger's name in relation to this story.
- SBN neighbors, well sorta, Fear the Fin is launching an Xbox Live NHL 09 Tournament. Here are all the details you need to know. Who will defend the honor of this blog? Someone of this commentariat needs to rise above!
- One of our own made the Mustache Monday post over on Casa de WAC.
Hit me with whatever I missed. Oh and unrelated but awesome; My Parents Joined Facebook. Oh technology...
UPDATE. Lunchtime powerup;
- It's being reported that former Vancouver Canuck and one time New York Ranger is the Leafs European scout. Swede power!
- Uhm I am scared to link this or type it out for fears of massive jinxing. But, someone is thinking Leafs and Playoffs!!!!1 together, in the same sentence and this season.
That's all you have for me? That was easy.

I saw that episode of Rescue Me and thought the same thing re the leafs shirt
Now Leary is a big hockey fan as evidence by having hall of famers cameo on his show and he did do a couple of episodes that surrounded the firefighters taking on the cops in a hockey game, but his choice for the Leafs shirt was interesting, since it was based in NY you would think it would be a Rangers shirt.
None the less it was great.

he’s a huge Bruins fan too, which makes the choice all the more perplexing.

Actually I heard that Leary’s a Leafs fan in a bar a few weeks ago, which makes this serendipitous.

I would like to announce that I’m “bankrolling” our Leafs players in the FTF NHL09 tournament. If you win the tournament and are a regular member of our site and a Leafs fan I will do something nice for you. It might be a blog post, it might be cash money, it might be an article of Leafs clothing… I DUNNO.
I just want one of you guys to win it and hopefully this is a good incentive.

About the Leafs Shirt
Leary is still a born and bred fan of all Boston teams, including the Bruins. But because he’s also a hockey fan, he sports shirts of different franchises past and present in each episode.
I just got back in Rescue Me after a hiatus of a few years (needed something to tide me over to hockey season and the next season of Breaking Bad)
Defending Big D | TheStarsFans | But a Hawks fan since 1989
So does that mean he’s worn a Thrashers shirt?

Yesterday I happened to look at Working Class Howard’s latest blog, his annual “Summer Q & A” on He Who Must Not Be Named’s site. The first two pages of comments were entirely made up of insults and mockery directed at Howard with one question about mustache trimming techniques and only one actual hockey question which appeared about halfway down page 2. Today that blog entry is entirely gone. Wish I’d gotten some screen caps.
What a maroon.
