last night’s game didn’t entirely suck. I mean, there was…. well… that is… we scored one. Yeah, that’s it. Oh, and for the first time this year I managed to catch most of it live, rather than sleeping through it and remembering the next day to flip it on before … Read the rest

Another game, another replay. All I can say is they put the bad one in net. Solid through 40 minutes, rolled over through 20. I sincerely hope they don’t hand him the starting job this year, but I can’t help but get that sinking feeling. Oh well, on the up … Read the rest

Another game caught by replay. At least the only excuse I can use this time is I slept through it. And hey, they still won. In a shootout, even. In a shootout in which they didn’t completely fall over dead, even. It’s almost a shame the thing resets itself in … Read the rest

I thought about watching last night’s game. Really, I did. For all of about half a second. Instead, I turned my attention to the Bluejays (they won, by the way). As opposed to our hockey team. It was over in the first period. Indeed, it could probably be … Read the rest

Three periods of semi-okay play, plus three periods of decent goaltending, plus this being Toronto’s hockey team equals a toronto loss. It’s how things have gone all season, and it’s how things went last night. And it’s probably going to go the same way next year. In well over 40 … Read the rest
