In A World of Sports

Holy shit. 
I haven’t written a blog in months, ages, a millenia.  I considered getting rid of this site, since I have to pay for it and in these tough economic times, I figured my benjamins could be better spent elsewhere.  Well, with the beginning of the hockey season I’m somewhat glad I didn’t.  So, I’ve decided […]

Well I’m back…hopefully on a semi-permanent basis…I haven’t posted in so long because I feel like I haven’t had the time but really I realised that it was a lame excuse for laziness. So I’m back with my first blog in a while….
 First of all I have to get this off my chest about the NHL…What […]

This has got to be one of the worst weeks in recent memory for Toronto sports franchises.  Sure the rest of the week hasn’t even played itself out, but if you count from Sunday afternoon to this coming Sunday, this should amount to a tragic week.  This is one of the darkest hours for Toronto […]

NHL - I’m getting tired of the big push for Evgeni Malkin to earn the Hart Trophy this year.  No doubt the man deserves some consideration, but I would not place him as the front runner.  I simply can’t hand out an important trophy like that based on 21 games of an 82 game schedule.  […]

So yesterday was one of my favourite days of the year, the NHL trade deadline.  What fun.  In Canada we have three networks with all-day coverage starting at about 8:30 a.m. going all the way up to just past the 3 p.m deadline.  Imagine that.  Last year’s deadline I missed because I was in Australia […]

This isn’t entirely shocking news.  Peter Forsbery has signed a one-year contract to return to the NHL this season.  This annoucement comes only a couple weeks after Forsberg asked his agent to tell teams he is likely not going to return.  Interesting…
So Foppa goes back to the team he began his NHL career with and […]

So news just broke yesterday of Sundin’s decision on whether or not to waive his no-trade clause and much to the chagrin of many Leaf fans, and I suppose fans of the teams in the running to acquire the long-time Toronto captain at the deadline, he is going to remain a Leaf. 
Well surely this must mean […]

Normally when I go to a Leaf game I get tickets afforded me through a connection which gets me some good platinum seats about 6 rows off the ice.  Great seats in fact, the view is almost as good as watching it on an HD television.  But often we’re surrounded by the suits, the much talked […]

The Ottawa Senators have decided to shake up their lineup a bit to help get them out of the funk that has recently plagued the team.  Today they swapped Patrick Eaves and Joe Corvo for Cory Stillman and Mike Commodore.  This move comes in spite of a 6-1 statement win over the Montreal Canadiens on […]

TSN is reporting that Bryan Murray, GM of the Senators, asked Wade Redden to waive his no trade clause today for a move that would have seen Redden move to the San Jose Sharks.  Redden, however, said no.  He wants to help guide The Sens to a Stanley Cup.  Redden as you know, is the […]
