From The Branches

So I was working on something to write here and it snowballed into a full fledged post that I'll put up in a little bit. Enjoy the links in the mean time. BoC Quest for the Cup: Chapter 3 More comic genius from the Battle of California Habs

Last night, the greatest thing to hit twitter since #throwthesnake happened. It was a result of the horrible game 7 that the Penguins lost to the Habs (seriously, Fleury? Is your family all Habs fans that threatened you or something?). But @montrealcopcar has got to be one of the funniest

The Blackhawks have done their job and eliminated a Canadian team from the playoffs; now the job of doing the same falls to the Penguins. Enough of the "root Canadian" crap; if a Canadian team isn't wearing a Maple Leaf on the front (red or blue)

OK so on my way home yesterday I had about five great ideas for the FTB.  Well, not really, just two.  One was to do a whole post about how our own PPP resembles Dave Nonis and how this had something to do with Nonis turning down the Tampa Bay

Because PPP can't blog anywhere but the Fanshots the task of today's FTB has fallen to me. If you're wondering why there wasn't an FTB yesterday it's because none of you wrote anything either of our FTB writers could find.

If you don't have a Twitter account, then you're a parasitic troglodyte and you really need one. It also means that you missed out on the NHLSexActs hashtag from yesterday. It started with Archi asking what you call it when a smoking hot girl has two

Friends, I here to give you a friendly reminder. This Sunday is Mother's Day and you've forgotten all about it. You haven't gotten your mom anything. No bouquet of flowers, no box of chocolates, no fancy dinner plans, nothing. You've really slacked

My parents flew in from Toronto last night.  I am tired from rushing home, walking the dog, picking them up, re-cleaning the house after they tracked in a ton of pine needles, making them dinner, setting up their bed, explaining to them how to operate the TV, where the grocery

Something monumental happened in my apartment two days ago. No, it wasn't the fact that I did laundry for the first time in over three weeks (that was Sunday). No, we finally turned on the AC for the first time all year. That makes May 3rd a very

Most of you guys know that I love Battlestar Galactica.  It was a great series, and I still watch re-runs when I find them on TV.  But when it ended, it left a hole in my TV viewing.  I've tried to fill that hole with V and Flashforward,

So uh, nobody wanted an FTB yesterday, right?  Well, fortunately for me, there were very few links to put up anyways had I remembered to do it, so I included anything that I missed in today's FTB.  Still, sorry about that, I actually had a fun, relaxing weekend

Well I figured last night, after the Penguins showed the NHL how to beat Jaroslav Halak, that I'd make a special dinner. I had some great chorizo sausage I'd bought at a portugese bakery, and I ran down to the local fish market and got some

No words (because I forgot it was my turn and went to bed early); just links. Basketball sucks; Hockey rules Nothing new here. Quest for the Cup Part 2: The Meddling Octopus BoC with the next installment Brian Burke = Genius Well duh. The Leafs make another list showcasing how bad

I honestly cannot remember the playoffs being this sucky in a long time. I am so frustrated by the teams this year, I have noone left to cheer for. I am still in shock that the Capitals blew it against the Habs last night - WTF Mike Green? Boudreau -

And thus, we a 6-1 playoff lesson handed to them by the Detroit Red Wings, the Phoenix Coyotes' season is over. Considering all they've gone through this year from be on the auction block; to rumors of Hamilton; to being taken over by the NHL; this is

So when I got home from work yesterday, I accidentally overheard about 5 minutes of prattle from the Team 1040 about how the Toronto media apparently hate the Canucks. I was going to write a huge post about how pathetic they are, etc. etc. but then, I checked my e-mail

It's Monday morning so I ain't gonna talk ya head off or nothing. Instead I'm going to just give you them links. Brad Richards of the Stars undergoes surgery for torn labrum If a (contract extension) cannot be reached, a Brad Richards trade might

I missed last night's game because I was watching Cop Out (definitely go see it) but I think it's pretty appropriate that I was watching something that made me howl with laughter. It would have been great to see the Senators as they blew a 3-0

I won't try to gild the lily today. Here are your links: Can Canada Love the Vancouver Canucks? No. Thank God. Screw 'em all. Eric Belanger receives a high stick, pulls out his... - Fallen Leafs NHL players are nails. Passengers Weighing Down Caps' Playoff Bus

Last night I was doing what the rest of you were, or at least should have been doing and was watching the Triple-OT Penguins v. Senators Game 5. It goes without saying that playoff overtime rules, though it didn't end how I would have like it to. Anywho,

Perhaps you missed the big news yesterday. Ya know the news about how Brian Burke snatched up the gravy known of Jussi Rynnäs from the clutches of the rest of the NHL. For the second year in a row the most sought after European goalie prospect has come home to

For some reason, my recollection of yesterday is hazy at best. I really have a hard time remembering what I did. And to make matters worse, someone took my notes for the FTB and used them for rolling paper. Total bummer. So instead of some long diatribe, I'll

So in case you were in a coma yesterday then you know how awesome Monday April 19th was. There was just so much win in almost everything that happened. However, through all the awesome one happening shone brighter than the others; one thing was truly epic. No I don'

Yeah yeah, the contest ended a week and a half a go. I'm like to procrastinate. The winner chosen at random will be announced later today so stay tuned for that and for an epic beatdown at the hands of PPP. You will love it. Without further adieu,

Today is chock full of playoff hockey. So far every game has been at least close for the majority of the game. First up, is the Coyotes-Red Wings series in about an hour. That's followed up by a double-header with the Penguins travelling to Ottawa which Damien Cox
