From The Branches

After reading through the links today, I've come to the realization that the Kaberle trade discussions are not going to end anytime soon.  At first, I was a little apprehensive with this knowledge.  Kaberle is a Leafs lifer, and through his outstanding level of play, commitment to the

And nothing new to report.  However, chances are, that rumor mill will get cranking soon enough.  The Kaberle trade watch is still on, and regardless of which side of the fence you sit on the issue, it doesn't change the fact that the deadline on the open window,

Remember when there were hockey games on, and PPP an Chemmy would regale us with their wordsmithian ways.  Post upon post of fried gold goodness.  Throughout the Barlkosphere, a plethora of brilliance jammed up the intertubes.  Good times... Non sequitur; I'm being told the going rate for a

Where we had the hottest day on record since 1899.  I accept all forms of pity. First, for the ladies.  Some hockey related guy on guy (on guy) action.  You're welcome. via darisa.files.wordpress.com It's nice to know I can take a vacation, and

These are your Sunday morning FTBs. Blurr is due back Monday and I will have your best of from the comments. I'm linking this video because this movie seems to be following me. There was this here. And I missed it on cable this morning. And my secretly

A Princess' job is never done. I always have to be in peril and wait around on some dude with a sword to come pry open a door. Like Lindsay Lohan and her current relationship with locksmiths. But in between brushing my hair, and having woodland creatures help me

I like that the Leafs are all truculent now. Not just because the word makes me think of truffles and om nom nom deliciousness. But they the Leafs are tougher and meaner and I keep hoping they will do something like this because I want to see the Senators bench

This needed to be shared with the world: These are your links, cover me: * Here are things you need; notes on the prospect at Leafs camp. Whose been eating their Wheaties and whose been pounding the Crossainwiches. * The General with hilarious commentary of what happens when the Maple Leafs go

I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Before we get down to the links, here is someone we can add to the gallery of "Famous People In Leafs Apparel" along with Jennifer Love Hewitt and Robert Smith. It's Dennis freaking Leary! Now, Based on my

You know, I was going to see just how many references I could cram into this FTB. Instead, this is how I am going to play it. I am going to post this one picture. And turn you all loose and let the magic happen. Here are your Sunday FTB

How this Reign of Princess Wrap treating you? Wonderful I hope. So because I am a deeply superficial person I happened up this YouTube video. Allegedly, the Ten Hottest Goalies of 2009, skill not accounted for. Now I am all about these kinds of things but uhhhh this list is

Ok, real talk time. Y'all are an amazing group, you know that right? You make this community something amazing and unique and I love you all for it. We have our memes and macros and inside jokes. The internet is a wonderful place and this Leafer Nation is

We've had a busy week with all the moves Papa Burke has made. I hear he's out fishing, and really the dude deserves a break. Provided "fishing trip" isn't code for "seeing an Argentinian woman of the night". Really he

Yesterday marked a happy occasion for Leaf fans everywhere. Former Duck Francois Beauchemin signed a three year deal to ply his trade for the Leafs. In other news, squeals of joy were heard round the world at about 15:30 eastern. Hey baybee would you like to sit on my

With a wicked case of the allergy attacks me thinks, things will be short and brief..  I'll be keeping it short and sweet.  Nothing new has happened in Leafdom since, I can't remember when.  Days and days of nothing.  Are we done? via media.canada.com

Contrary to any wild stories you may have heard, I spent yesterday contributing to a wide range of charitable foundations, teaching school children the values of road safety and nursing a sick puppy named Scraps back to health. My thanks though to our own Moaning Millie and my rival for

Day three of free agency has come and gone and the Leafs, along with every team not named the Kings or Avalanche were fairly quiet. This is the spot where Mattblack regales us with his quirky "Britishness" and we all smile and nod.  Sadly, he was up all

This is the part where I, with the assistance of my co-host, summarize the new addition signings of the past day. via www.creepygif.com That's right.  A big goose egg in the action department.  You know that means?  Minimum action in the Barilkosphere (pro tip to

Eyebleaf, my patron saint of optimism, would probably agree with Mark Twain's quote above.  Me, not so much.  Of course, after the reaction of Gomez for Higgins by Habs fans, they may be wishing nothing would happen... I'm approaching today with equal parts trepidation, excitement and

I'm exhausted. I'll write you a letter tomorrow, tonight I can't hold a pen.  Hurry up, hurry up, ain't you had enough of this stuff?  Ashtray floors, dirty clothes, and filthy jokes...my favorite Replacements tune, and my favorite version of said
