From The Branches

Loser Domi found this amazing video and featured it in her Friday YouTube Yoinkage, and I can't get it out of my head. So I bring to you, The Dion Phaneuf Song! The Dion Phaneuf Song (via 11leverhume) Seriously the best Dion Phaneuf related video on YouTube, no

So yesterday I pulled out an old USB key to bring to work.  Plugging it into my computer for the first time in at least a year, I was pleased to discover a number of old photos I thought I had lost.  A few of university friends that I haven&

As a reminder, if you aren't putting up a fanshot to discuss a link you should be dropping it in here. This is the home of the random hockey talk that in no way relates to any of the other posts. Thanks. FYI I love acronyms. lol Over

I don't know what I've done, but clearly, I've done something to upset the Ravens.  As in the bird, the raven, not the NFL team (who really cares about them?).  A few months ago (I'm thinking last fall maybe?) I went for

So this weekend I went on an Arrested Development fest.  As I mentioned, I discovered that we have the Sundance Channel which shows two episodes a day.  So I set the PVR last week and come Friday I had 14 episodes to watch.  With the hubby suffering from a migraine

James Mirtle had a good post on the NHLPA's upcoming meetings and the possibility of Donald Fehr becoming the new Executive Director. In a nod to continuing the PA shenanigans of Alan Eagleson, Bob Goodenow, and Paul Kelly's reign Fehr is working with the five player

My dad is always telling me to save my money. If I were to listen to him, I'd have a lot more of it in my bank account. You see I like to do things. Extraordinary and sometimes crazy things. I love travel and I love doing something

When I was a teenager, the idea of being a housewife terrified me.  Cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, staying at home... I wanted nothing to do with any of it.  Fastforward ten years and, well, I love it.  Last night I got home, took the dog for a walk, picked up

Hump Day calls for not a lot of talk and not a lot of links.  I can haz weekend now?? Captain CAAAAVEMANNNNNNNNNNN!!!1 Jared is a big fan of Dion Phaneuf and 1960s Hanna-Barbera While symbolic, the role of captain is still important Burke will make or break himself

Prior to January 31st, 2010, I had a much different opinion of Dion Phaneuf than I have now. I thought he was a cocky, arrogant, overpaid bastard. I was extremely glad to not see him named to the Olympic team, and wished I could stop hearing from Calgary fans (and

I just got back from my men's league game, a 5-3 win that saw over 40 minutes of penalties handed out between the two teams. I'm proud to say that I received two of those for tripping a guy, then tripping the same guy, and

Tonight, after work is over and the boozing has begun, Chemmy and myself will venturing to the local cinema to take in the  modern masterpiece that is the new A-Team movie. And that got me thinking; if the Leafs had an A-Team, who would be its members? Obviously,

First off, a big congratulations to the Chicago Hawks and their fans for the Cup win last night.  They've been playing some incredible hockey and that game last night is one of the most enjoyable hockey games I've seen in a while.  Seeing Toews lift the

With the possibility of seeing the Stanley Cup presented tonight, I thought I tell you all the story of how I met one of its Keepers. You've all seen him before. Beautiful golden hair. Snow white gloves. HHOF emblazoned sport jacket. His name is Phil Pritchard, and he

So this weekend I was flipping channels and I came across one that I don't usually have - the Sundance Channel.  Why is this relevant?  Because they show Arrested Development.  A lot.  So this weekend I enjoyed 4 different episodes (including one I'd never seen, the first

Ahhhh Monday morning.  The day I return to the world of the internets.  I am on the computer so long from Monday - Thursday (and let's face it, Fridays I often laze around and end up in the CC for far too long) so often on weekends I unplug

The gentleman in the picture with the big white gloves is Toronto FC's starting goalkeeper Stefan Frei. He's a young Swiss goalie that is likely playing his last summer in Major League Soccer before being snapped up by a European club. He's been snapping

Last night may have been the greatest night of lazy television watching that I've yet to experience. It was just epic on so many levels, ending on the highest note possible: seeing a naked midget wrestler attempt to climb to the top of a stripper pole. But to

So my brother flew into Vancouver yesterday for work.  He's a Health and Safety Executive for a cartage company and also sits on the board of directors for some sort of Transportation Safety Association, which is having their quarterly meeting out in Victoria this weekend, so he managed

Blah, blah, blah. Talk about Pronger stealing the "game puck". Blah, blah, blah. A new Tomas Kaberle trade rumor emerges. Blah, blah, blah. Brian Burke talks to the media and remains vague as usual. Boring. Without a hockey game to be played, or a major shakeup happening there

Just in case y'all didn't know, apparently Chris Pronger has stolen the game puck from the Chicago Blackhawks at the end of the last two games. This makes Hawks fans mad, and last night on twitter they started calling Pronger names. Now I feel for Hawks

I write this on day two of my three day Memorial Day Weekend. Here in America, tomorrow we celebrate Memorial Day. The day has been set aside to honor those men and women who have served in our armed forces and dates back to the end of the Civil War.

Remember the Stanky Legg? Of course you do. Well it's now reached new heights. I bring you the Wal-Mart Stanky Legg.  History is made at  2:16 with the first ever Air Stanky Legg.  Also of note, the Cowboy Stanky Legg; the Melon Stanky Legg; the Shopping

So last night I attended a baby shower for my friend.  Now, I don't want any babies of my own (at least not yet) but I sure do love babies.  Her little girl is just like a little doll.  And she rarely cries.  When she wants to eat,

Over the weekend I swam in a frigid lake; was attacked repeatedly by the Canadian Airforce; and developed a cold. Thanks Canada! I feel like shit, so here are your links. I'm now going to bomb some NyQuil and pass out. Where the hell are Sergei Gonchar'
