- Friend of the site, jrwendelman went to a Leafs game, and you'll never guess what broke out.
- Is Brian Burke about to make a trade...for someone not named Phil Kessel? TSM heard it through the grapevine.
- CBC's Elliot Friedman has a few reasons why taking a stab at Phil Kessel would be a mistake.
- The Bruins Blog has the latest on the Leafs vacant captaincy.
- From the "where are they now?" file, Mark Bell has been invited to camp by the Flyers.
- Eklund is a fraud, in case you didn't know...
- In case you haven't heard, Jim Balsille has decided that if he should win in his bid for the Coyotes, he's going to have just the man on board to run that team into the ground.
- Take a step back in time, to when hockey was a game of six teams, and Leafs season tickets were still a ten year minimum wait.
Update:
- You in Mississauga? Meet Luke Schenn!
- Is perception reality? Koopa Kid says...well, find out.
- Podcast Pals CT and Forklift give the best and worst case scenarios for the Eastern Conference.

Alright guys I need help
Is there any place I can get the avg goals per game scored by the Leafs before and after the Trade deadline? (I.E. Before and after Antropov and Moore)
Also I know it was posted in a comment thread somewhere before, but the backup goaltenders that the Leafs faced last year?
I know I can probably get the info from hockey-reference but aside from manually adding up the goals in a game I was hoping there was an easier way to do all of this.
Life as a Toronto Sports Fan?... *sigh*... It is what it is...
I think Steve from hockey analysis did the crunching. Hit up his site (always a good idea to go visit) and/or send him an email.

when Brampton got the OHL team I was super excited.
Then I saw this piece of crap.

None of the above.
Also, when I find a pic of the lady he interviewed i’m submitting it to Jersey Fouls. She has a Tyson Nash Jersey that is covered with Swarovski Crystals. She can literally blind you if she goes in the sun with that thing.

I need help to watch the Leafs

Yeah, it sucks. I lived in Kingston before entering blogoland so I had to hit up bars to watch the games and only could see HNiC at home.
Yeah, life was tough.

I am ‘allowed’ to get Leafs TV even tho I am much closer to Ottawack than you are.
With TSN and CBC with that, the only games I can’ get are sportsnet games(28 of them.)
Shield lives in downtown Ottawa and still got Leafs TV interactive by submitting his parents’ postal code in Burlington.
I’m going to try the Postal code trick when I sign up for L.T.V.I.
Other than that, I am with you, buddy.

My folks live in London… I should get Leafs TV interactive and use their postal code to sign up.
Being a Leaf fan here requires one to be sufficiently lubricated... and truculent!
I’m pretty sure if you have the account in place you should be able to sign in from anywhere…
I’ll find out for sure next month.

Luke Schenn is signing autographs across the street from my house today. Nothing could possibly ruin this day. Statues will be crying blood all over my neighbourhood

If it’s picks and prospects for MVR, I’d say it’s a team that needs to get to the cap floor. no idea who that is though.

Do they still have Belak? I miss that fucker.

After the Niedermayer elbow in the playoffs, I lost a lot of respect for Domi… but that guy could take a punch better than anyone.(I was going to make a classless Rhianna joke, but decided against it at the last minute.)

Good call, plan. I heard the brick has already been out around these parts today……..

Oh, I love a joke about spousal abuse as much as the next mentally ill person.
"I want a song I don’t want to have sing it
I want your love right now, did you bring it? Did you bring it?"
Therefore I did not make that joke.
Also, I am totally against abuse towards women(spousal or otherwise) but the fact that in the first 4 or so weeks after the incident she defended him and stayed with him disgusted me to no end.

And I appreciate it. Really.
It is upsetting when women do that, but sadly, in cases where they are being abused, it happens all too often. They just can’t face the fact that the man they love and who says he loves then would do something so terrible. They are broken. So while I get mad at them, it isn’t a surprise.
"I want a song I don’t want to have sing it
I want your love right now, did you bring it? Did you bring it?"
I understand. Also, I did not take offense to your remark about mentally ill people even though my sister has struggled with mental illness for many years.
I understand it was an off the cuff remark – as I hope you understand mine was as well.

SI Article
That old SI article is a bit of a depressing read. And creepy nostradamus like. Over expansion, niche sport, not selling tickets when crappy teams come to town and all that ring true today.

Leafs/Pens Rookie Game
I fanshotted it too, but I posted some thoughts about the Rookie Game last night and some video showing a Festival of Truculence involving Robert Slaney and Robert Bartuzzo. Bombs away…

the Oilers signed Comrie to a 1 year deal.
I need to go find Oilers fans to watch their anguish.

They seem to think it’s a move meant to convince his dad to help pay for a new arena.
