Negative Nancy Notebook: Our Luke, Who Art in Toronto...
Our Luke and Saviour pardons a sinner after last night's game On a night when the Maple Leafs feted Doug (Killer) Gilmour and in a season when Wendel Clark was accorded the same honour, it was not difficult to imagine rookie Luke Schenn one day earning fan adoration similar to what those Toronto...
Negative Nancy Notebook - Jason Blake
Editor's Note: The Negative Nancy Notebook (or NNN) is a daily look at how anyone, from Toronto writers to the opposition's media vultures to other bloggers, can always find a stormy cloud for any silver lining. It runs after every (usually) Leafs game and tries to highlight the bad in case anyone...
NNN - Damien Cox Stars in GEICO Commercials
The uninteresting, unemotional game was distinguished by a first-period video tribute to former Leaf Wade Belak, if you can believe it. Yessir, those three or four minutes per game, it seems, will never be forgotten by the people who evaluate hockey memories for MLSE. - Damien Cox Damien Cox...
NNN - If a game is played and no one can see it did it happen?
Courtesy of Off Wing Opinion Brooks Laich's two goals were scored on strong moves to the net - this is how he got to 20 goals last year, and how he's going to get there again this year if he does. J.P., Japers' Rink Laich just signed a Poni-like contract for three years. Check out those...
NNN - At Least This Will Be Easy
Dear Leafs, When I pay $100 for a ticket to see you play hockey I expect you to demonstrate a little bit of competence and effort. "I guess we were a little bit tired after the road and there wasn't much gas left in the tank," Toskala said, paraphrasing the captain of the Exxon Valdez. "Anyhow,...
NNN: We've Got the Pogge Fever

Oh yeah, there was a game last night...
So obviously there was some biggers news last night but here's a combination negative nancy notebook and game recap because I feel too betrayed to do more. MF37 is right about being glad I missed the MacDonald, Sittler, Palmateer, Vaive, etc. debacles because I don't know if I can take this. God...
(Not so) Negative Nancy: Taking a 180
I don't want to call anyone out, but a certain someone around here heads for a beach holiday and the Leafs win three in a row. Coincidence? Hmm... But seeing as this is Negative Nancy, I suppose we need to turn away from the positives to search out the black cloud in every silver lining....
Negative Nancy: Dreaming of White's Christmas
Editor's Note: While Wally Pipp is on vacation in Atlantis (yes, we know where it is and no we won't tell you) MF37 of Bitter Leaf Fan has once again gotten the tap on the shoulder. D.O. at Die by the Blade's post-game analysis begins with an interesting question: What do you say after an...
NNN: Burke Walks On Water
I am still not entirely sure how this was a goal while every time the Leafs looked at Carey Price crooked they got two minutes. Ah well, 4-2 bitches! Anyway, here's what the dying medium had to say about the game: Burke, realizing the team has been inundated with speculation about what he...
