from Damian Cox of the Toronto Star, Was it the Maple Leafs, suddenly a very competent looking hockey club after two straight victories? Or was it the Detroit Red Wings, or at least the current injury-riddled, talent-depleted version of the squad that went to the Stanley Cup final the past two springs but was steamrolled 5-1 by the Leafs last night? Hard to say. But let’s start with this. When...

I'm tired. I got like two hours of sleep Saturday night and was up early Monday. I haven't done this since college and I gotta say, it's nice to get eight hours of sleep on a regular basis.

[Belleville News-Democrat] The Blues got physical at practice today,...

And now for something completely different; These are trying times to be in the Blue and White. But to get through such hardship it is essential to maintain a sense of humor. I will post pictures of kittens and amusing gifs if it means keeping morale up. We shall not dwell on the past, rather we shall be hopeful this can and will all change. Be cool my babies. Everything is going to be fine. Joey MacDonald...

Is this the day a win comes to Toronto? Is this the day someone scores twice in sixty minutes? In forty minutes? In twenty? Is this the day someone puts more than two points on the board? Is this the day we kill a penalty? Is this the day Garnet Exelby becomes unstoppable? Is this the day we break down and weep unashamedly at the high altar of Joey MacDonald? Is this the day PPP and Chemmy start wrestling...

I've been recapping Leaf games on this site for six years. Here's the first one from October 11, 2003. You'll see that prior to this year I kept track of our current record, past three games and team scoring leaders in each recap. This season, I think I can do without the constant reminder of placement in the Eastern Conference. It's looking bad. Much like the game against Washington last week, we...
