Add Tyler Bozak to the list of people who fucked up their Halloween costume via ignorance. The Leafs centre went as Michael Jackson’s character in Thriller for Halloween – not because he’s a racist but because he was apparently sleeping last year when Raffi Torres went as Jay-Z and everyone thought it was SO HILARIOUS. Uh … Continue reading
Over the weekend I spotted this sign outside of a York Region bar. Of course this was the same bar that flew a Toronto Maple Leaf flag upside down for weeks following their catastrophic crash at the end of last season. I gather they’re one of many frustrated fans who read “50/50” followed by “rejected … Continue reading
Well this is interesting. The KHL was slated to play two games at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center this January but they just announced the match up between Dynamo Moscow ad SKA St. Petersburg will be moved back to Russia. Citing fan disappointment, the KHL believes their fans deserve to watch the premiere series. This of course … Continue reading
What was with yesterday, today? Maybe it’s because of Twitter but it seems EVERYTHING is just such a big deal in the hockey world. Don Cherry having an opinion on another (gasp!) sport caused everyone to get all up-in-arms. Who gives a shit if he wants to comment on baseball? The old man needs something … Continue reading
Through this lockout we almost feel for the millionaire players with kids to feed, and a wife who hits the spa 3 times a week simply because they got bills, bills, bills. But what about the single guys, what are they up to? Judging by Paul Bissonnette’s Twitter and Instagram account, they’re doing just fine. … Continue reading
Disgruntled hockey fans convened at the corner of York and Bremner yesterday in downtown Toronto in an attempt to voice their opinion on the NHL lockout that’s currently underway. The good guys behind We Want a Cup organized this Hockey Not in Canada rally, but let’s be serious here, this was not a rally, this … Continue reading
My autumn mornings seem a little more empty than usual. No longer am I spitting out my coffee to some goal that Crosby scored from his knees or smiling as I watch the leafs blow, yet again, another 2 goal lead. But just cause hockey isn’t happening on this side of the pond doesn’t mean … Continue reading
As the title states, a lockout could cause Leafs fans psychological distress. Funny, I thought being a Leafs fan causes immense distress despite a lockout. As a fan of the team, I can’t tell you the weird string of emotions I endured last season, and now I feel rather at ease. The whole lockout’s a … Continue reading
We’ve been following the players who’ve jetted off to Europe quite closely, but what about the guys back home? What are they all up to? Sure, you’ve got guys like Max Talbot organizing games in Quebec for fans with profits going to charity (big props) and Paul Bissonnette’s been, well, his usual biznasty self. But … Continue reading
I don’t know what it is about Russia but it seems to elude the average North American. Many were raised to hate the Soviets because of the Cold War. Now everything is kosher although we probably hate the fact that their hockey players are undeniably talented, especially come December during the World Juniors. And if … Continue reading
