May 25, 2023 – Toronto, thy name is drama. Actually Brendan Shanahan really impressed me. Kyle Dubas frankly seems as manly as Kyle Beach at this point. There’s certain really bad drama going down in Leaf Nation. Here’s the bottom line. If you have a number of years to proveContinue Reading
March 4, 2023 – The NHL is in a strange place. While the salary cap has been a success, the structure of seasons now seem to be 60 game seasons with a long 22 game wind down until the playoffs start. While mathematically there are still chances for some teamsContinue Reading
October 13, 2022 – It wasn’t a great game, but it was entertaining. The kids were alright except for Slafkovsky who really needs to get to the AHL and play lots of minutes. Mostly he needs to keep his feet moving. Compared to Kaiden Guhle, Jordan Harris, and Arber Xhekaj,Continue Reading
October 12, 2022 – It’s that time! First game of the season when all looks optimistic and the dew is fresh. The big question is can the Leafs shake this first round and out that they’ve been enduring? Did they do enough in the off season? This writer thinks not.Continue Reading
May 15, 2022 – For Leaf nation it’s essentially like living in the movie Ground Hog Day. A really good team racking up the points during the regular season and failing for the sixth year in a row to move forward. Frankly Leaf fans deserve better. Connor McDavid put onContinue Reading
January 14, 2021 – What can a Habs fan say? Their high priced goalie failed badly and allowed the Leafs to stay in a game they weren’t really in or deserved to win. Toronto outshot the Habs 34-32 on a strong second period. 🚨 JOSH ANDERSON – 2ND OF THEContinue Reading
My boy Mitch Marner showed no signs of pressure in the Leafs 4-1 win in Boston. He scored 2 goals( one by penalty shot while the Leafs were short handed) and even laid on some meat. The Leafs were flying and using their depth speed to put pressure on theContinue Reading
It’s that time again! First night of the race to Lord Stanley’s Cup. The lightweights have been separated by those that truly want to win and the hopefuls get to do their best against the real contenders. The old cliche about making the playoffs and anything happening really isn’t true.Continue Reading
It’s been a busy trade deadline in some ways. Ottawa was facing the biggest challenge. Out were Duchene, Stone, and Dzingel. Duchene was a disastrous mistake last year. Stone simply wasn’t going to resign with the Sens and Dzingel was a sell high situation. And the Sens needed to fillContinue Reading
It’s fascinating watching the NHL catch up in the cap age. Contract wise agents and GM’s are focusing on new tangents which make sense for both parties. Right now the buzz is over Leaf highly overrated centre Auston Matthews. In this writer’s opinion until you’ve done it in the playoffsContinue Reading
The Leafs are meeting expectations for most. They’re winning games, scoring goals, and near the top of the standings. They doing it though without William Nylander and for the last while, Auston Matthews. That certainly wasn’t expected. Most thought the Leafs would rack up points, but have issues on D. Continue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – Yes, it’s that time! Sadly the Habs didn’t make the playoffs because GM Marc Bergevin totally blew it this season and it seems that owner Geoff Molson might actually let him have a seventh kick at the can which is way too Rejean Houle scary. But IContinue Reading

Cornwall Ontario – As the pucks dropped after the Christmas break it’s becoming clearer which teams have a shot at going deep into the playoffs, which are simply bubble teams and which should be focusing on rebuilding or reloading. Rebuild – I’m not sure why Arizona is in the NHLContinue Reading

It is alleged that: – during April 2017, victims purchased hockey tickets from a person throughContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – The Habs evened their series Friday night. This year there seems to be more desperation across the board to win with multiple games of 100 total hits. It’s good hockey; sometimes great. Shea Weber, even though he took a lame fighting penalty, was the monster forContinue Reading
Cornwall Ontario – It was great to see five Canadian teams make the playoffs this season after Canada was blanked last year. Sadly all five lost their opening games; some tragically, some, well hockey is a game of funny bounces and for the Leafs Friday night the puck didn’t bounceContinue Reading
