Fallen Leafs
Send me your lovely banter and your acerbic wit: fallen.leafs@ymail.com
Yup. Scholars, we call hockey players.
Hai guys!
Patrick Sharp is a very handsome(ly paid) man, pt 5.9
“Sir Stanley, can you believe those clowns who tore up Vancouver after Game 7?”
“Hmm. Sounds like…” <puts on sunglasses> “They were a riot.”
YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

As someone who checked out of the NHL playoffs a long time ago, my interest constantly wanes from “what else is on” to “Tim Thomas FTW!1!!” during the ongoing Stanley Cup Finals.
Without possessing any unfair biases (read: I hate both teams equally), let’s all agree that this is how all hockey sticks should be handed out.
Michael Ryder will be his new favourite player.
And that is hockey.
Me cheer for Canada? No, thanks.
Let’s do this Smashville.
There’s some sort of end-of-the-year special on where Henny is interviewing different players and Ron about this season and the future.
But on the Rogers guide when you read the info for it, it says:
Looking back at the Leafs historic march to 10th place in the Eastern Conference standings during the 2010-2011 season.
HOW SAD DOES THAT SOUND.
Historic march to 10th place.
I can’t stop laughing.
I heart you, faily Leafs.
Your 2010-2011 Toronto Maple Leafs everyone!
And the NHL’s big promotional push, which apparently began yesterday (you knew that, right?), seems to be a big 18-wheel trailer truck filled with the ice making equipment that is driving from Toronto to Calgary and stopping at points in between to give lucky Canadians the opportunity to see all the machinery that will be used to create the rink. Yowser!
Stu Hackel of Red Light highlights just how different the NHL treats their second outdoor game that will be held on February 20th at McMahon Stadium in Calgary. The contrasting dynamic between the perpetually hyped Winter Classic and the afterthought that is the Heritage Classic provides a telling evaluation of the priorities of the NHL.
Surely enough, why let anyone else but Tim Hortons promote the obedient dependability of Canada’s consumption for hockey? No thanks, Caramel Café Mocha. Just another Double-Double, please.
