From The Branches
Let's call this burning eyes edition. Or the still sleepy edition. Or the why don't I just call in sick edition. Watching Sportscentre I saw Bryan Murray say that he had veteran options for his coach (ie Pat Quinn) but Melnyk let him make his own choice. This shows why Melnyk is an idiot. Who did...
FTB - In Shock Edition
So let me get this straight: The former Leaf goaltender allows seven goals including a couple of ridiculously weak ones and the former Leaf forward gets outscored by the defenceman that the team signed from his current team? I can't wait to find out how this Twilight Zone episode ends... On the...
FTB – Justin Time For Pogge!
Editor's Note: Here's a final guest FTB. We'll have one more long piece up this afternoon and then it's time for the Eliminator. Sure, that title may look corny, and potentially lame, but I like to think there’s a certain level of charm there, too. The Leaf brass is keeping its promise of...
From The Branches
So now is it apparent why Ovechkin is the most popular player in the league? How can you not like him unless you are a Penguins fan upset about Baby being put in the corner. Anyway, great discussion about fighting yesterday. Obviously that was the big topic at the All-Star Game and it's led most of...
FTB - Regular Programming Resumes
We have a break in applicant FTBers today before resuming our search for a new intern on Monday. This All-Star break will give everyone a chance to put together something that's hopefully great on Monday. Since I'm already hired I am mailing this one in. Like Chemmy's approach to the bumping and...
FTB - We're White, We're Blue, We're Drafting Higher Than You
Editor's Note: Here is the fourth and final FTB from our applicants. Please let us know what you think or we'll hire a Habs fan. Consistently drawn to defeat like an unrepentant shoe fetishist, the Leafs have now only won one of their last eight games. ‘Tank for Tavares’ (also known as...
FTB - The Breakfast of Champions Edition
Editor's Note: If you guys don't e-mail us feedback on our anonymous posters then you're not getting a new daddy/mommy and that just means that your current daddies will be grumpier about all of the work they have to do to keep you brats happy. That means that somebody gonna get a hurt real...
From The Branches - Short-term pain, Long-term gain?
Editor's Note: For anyone unfamiliar with the acronym FTB it stands for the above. It's not the greatest name but you guys didn't give me much to work with. It's the morning's first post that rounds up the Barilkosphere and Leafs news. I don't think that there is any doubt now that Toskala is...
FTB - Huge News
There is some massive news coming out of Toronto today. Much bigger than the loss of Fredo. Justin Pogge will begin his NHL career Monday against the Atlanta Thrashers. The other big news is that Luke Schenn's knee was so sore that he couldn't skate yesterday. I am not sure if it's actually a set...
FTB - Wyshinski's Team Stinks Too!
It feels good to have watched a Leafs team that can play some defence. Of course, they pulled this same trick last year at around the same time so we'll see if they manage to continue flying high. Speaking of flying high, on today's date in 1903 the Wright brothers took flight for the first time...
