From The Branches

To impress a girl Mike Van Ryn will throw himself Through a glass window With thanks to Mr C. Brooker. * Alec speculates on incoming fire at the hot stove. * TSM has the drop on latest word of Burke and also the people who want to put a knife in Vesa.

Brian, Ron, good to have you here. Coffee? Help yourself; it’s on the counter behind you. Hands off the biscuits though. I’ll get straight to the meat, Gentlemen. This garbage doesn’t write itself and I’m a busy man. Only this morning I had to fire some

I had once a pain in my chest, over here (indicates the approximate spot). It was too high to be a burst appendix that needed removing (Wozniewski). I didn't have exploding bones (Carlo). I wasn't being knifed with a red hot poker (Mats). And it wasn&

Here in my lonely PPP-sponsored dungeon, I’m counting down backwards from 1,329,408. Now why would you be doing a thing like that, I hear you ask? Well – that’s the number of seconds we have to wait until we find out which of the current crop

We all done with the blubbing and recriminations after spending Valentines at home watching hockey? Super. Remember Jason Blake loves you more than old what’s-his/her-name. And Dominic Moore will be filming the results. Links then and pickings are slimmer than my chances with Jennifer Jason Leigh.

On this day of romance and smooching, let’s reach out to out fellow members of Leafs nation and share the love around a little – because if we’re being honest, OLAS isn’t going to be calling you today. I know this because I have him locked in a

4 on 12. 16 minutes and 43 seconds. 0.666. If the numbers maketh the man… I’ve had an idea – let me run it up the flag pole to see if anyone salutes it. Since we are quite numerous as a group now, we could pool our resources , (that

Greetings, chellovecks and devotchkas - this is your new leader captain waterboy speaking. There’s going to be some serious FTB changes round here *, but our first topic on the agenda is revolution and insurrection. To the barricades! Cry God for England, Harry and Saint George! * No changes, cosmetic or otherwise

Hypothetically, if the Leafs were playing awesome for two periods and then letting the other team win in the third that would be a really clever plan, but you think they'd hurry it up and lose in regulation. * MF37 isn't napping under his desk, he'

Nationally ranked #1 Boston University wins their 29th Beanpot in a thrilling 5-2 decision over #3 Northeastern. Capped off by two shorthanded goals in thirty seconds, BU once again has won half of all Beanpots played. In Maple Leafs news, Brian Burke apparently isn't as big of

Alec should be making his debut later today (internet issues permitting) and Down Goes Brown is a year old which is like 9 in blog years. Go wish him a happy birthday and all the best in a bright future of taking any semblance of sunshine away from us. Links!

Oh God it feels good to be able to hate our traditional rivals. I can't believe that we had to stumble through the late 90s and early 00s hating the senators because of the Habs' bumbling. Of course, they never have had to worry about that because

I've got tons of links to fire off at you guys as you drink your morning coffee. Sit back and enjoy the ride. * Down Goes Brown thinks Georges Laraque may be on to something. DGB's doing a Liveblog tonight, so go check it out (but come

We all loved seeing The Omen wade into his comments as his failed print column actually became more like an actual blog. However, the problem here is that rather than just guess at Damien's twisted logic he is actually spelling it out for us which at the same

"Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast." "It jumped up a notch." "Yeah, it did didn't it." If you haven't already had a chance please head on over to (and recommend) my friendly reminder
