I predominately blog about hating bloggers. Often use big words to drown out the sound of my dragging knuckles.

FROM HEARTACHE TO HAPPY BALLS Opinion

FROM HEARTACHE TO HAPPY BALLS

May 15th, 201601730 Our Long Journey Out of Hockey Hell Those who know me – or are at least familiar with my Twitter persona – know that I’m generally an angry sports fan. The 5 years that I’ve spent spewing my knee-jerk hockey opinions online have been driven largely by rage, disappointment and a hopeless capitulation that – no matter...
Game Day Thread - Our Buds are Back Featured

Game Day Thread - Our Buds are Back

October 6th, 2015078 It's game day...our Buds are back. Do...you...beLEAF? *very long, wet fart noise* Clearly the folks at Leafs Hub aren’t the sharpest bunch.. The last time I wrote a preview for a Leafs tilt (last season’s final game vs. the Habs no less), I thought I’d done enough to mock the art of game-day analysis so as to be...
FUN W1TH NUMBER5! Analysis

FUN W1TH NUMBER5!

August 13th, 20150142 FUN W1TH NUMBER5! Sometimes, I really miss hockey. …And when I say I miss it, I’m not referring to the fact that we’re currently mired in the dog-days of summer with little more than table-scrap free agent signings to whet our appetites - I realize it’s only a few more rain-soaked weekends until the start of camp. No...
Hurt So Good Analysis

Hurt So Good

June 8th, 20150135 How Babcock Fits In With "The Plan" Michael Friggin Babcock. Never thought we'd land him. In fact, I sneered at the very notion. I went so far as to poke fun at the futility in luring a highly decorated and globally respected coach given the impending evisceration this team will soon undergo. From a pure hockey standpoint, there were...
Can Toronto Support a Rebuild? Analysis

Can Toronto Support a Rebuild?

March 11th, 2015096 In the absence of a professional hockey team to cheer for, a Leaf fan’s brain tends to wander. This year, I’ve found myself reflecting on our team in the grander scheme of where we stand in the league. In so doing, I’ve thought about how other markets continue to view our franchise based on what’s fed to them via far reaching...
Shanny's Hall Pass Analysis

Shanny's Hall Pass

February 8th, 20150131 Reconstructing the Maple Leafs from the Top Down Congratulations Brendan Shanahan, you are now the most bullet proof executive in the NHL. As far as short term organizational decisions go, your to-do list has now been clearly scrawled in bright crayon by the historically inept group over which you’ve been hired to preside. There...
A Rage-Induced Leafs Rant Featured

A Rage-Induced Leafs Rant

January 20th, 2015059 Son of a bitch! F*&K this F&$king S%#T! WARNING: The following commentary does not purport to be anything other than rage-induced purging – not for educational purposes. There is a good chance this post will soon be made irrelevant by wholesale changes made by Leafs Prez Brendan Shanahan...or not. Preamble: I am...
An Ode to the Latest Leaf Casualty Featured

An Ode to the Latest Leaf Casualty

January 7th, 2015076 There was absolutely no choice left but to fire Randy Carlyle. No matter what corner of Leaf Nation one lives in, it had become unanimous that this coach was no longer a viable option for this team. The long standing debates about broken defensive systems, curious ice-time distribution, coachability of the roster etc. all became moot....

Defending Intangibles: Analytics and Truculence in Leafs Nation

In the apparent renaissance of enlightened hockey fandom in Toronto, many have understandably cheered the long overdue acceptance of advanced stats into this city’s mainstream consciousness and, more importantly, into the fibre of the Leafs’ management core. No thinking fan would argue the critical importance of any organization...
