  • Rangers 5, Maple Leafs 1.

    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

  • Flyers 2, Maple Leafs 0.

    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

  • Bruins 2, Maple Leafs 1.

    We actually played halfway decently. Outshot them, spent more time in their end than our own, and at the end of the game, we pretty much owned them like nobody’s business. Except, um, well, we didn’t. That’s the way the season crumbles. I won’t even do a last time comparison … Read the rest

  • Maple Leafs 4, Sabres 2.

    How often does this happen? After pretty much getting owned, rather solidly, all season by the boys across the border, we actually showed up and put on a pretty good show of not getting swept for the season. And this against a goaltender that pretty much stoned us every chance … Read the rest

  • Thrashers 3, Maple Leafs 2.

    Okay, all you non-Leafs fans can say it. As of now, Toronto is officially mathematically eliminated. Not that anyone who’s actually been following the team expected it to be any different. Lord knows since about January or so I haven’t been. And Tuesday’s game? Well, that pretty much underlines why. … Read the rest

  • Putting a hockey team back in Winnipeg?

    ,

    It’s been floated since the seventh team left that we’d be trying to bring it back to Canada. We tried back in November, at which point Hamilton would have been the lucky one. Now, it’s being tossed about that Winnipeg might be getting its team back instead. The last … Read the rest

  • Penguins 5, Maple Leafs 4.

    We actually kept up with them for most of the game. Hell, we even had a lead once. In spite of the fact they seemed to be more into the game than we were–probably because they’re more in the playoffs than we are. Which explains why it took them until … Read the rest

  • Maple Leafs 3, Rangers 2.

    It didn’t look entirely too convincingly in our favour for most of the night–they scored twice in the first, we didn’t do squat. We managed to get one back in the second, and that was about it. right up until the 16 minute mark of the third, before we finally … Read the rest

  • Earth hour cancelled on account of hockey.

    , ,

    In just less than 2 hours, we’ll be encouraged to turn our lights and probably anything else electrical off to conserve energy and save the environment. Because, you know, the whole global warming thing hasn’t already been kicked about a hundred times in the gonads. In this apartment, however, the … Read the rest

  • Maple Leafs 2, Thrashers 1.

    It wasn’t much of a high-scoring affair. And, in fact, if Atlanta was actually up to its usual level of halfway decent play, we’d of probably been sunk. As it is the difference between the narrow margin and how the game should have gone, given Atlanta’s state during Thursday’s game, … Read the rest
