Take It Or Leaf It
I’m gonna take this one. My boys pulled through to win over the Bruins in a shootout. This win required some guts – from a team that has been relatively gut-less as of late. Kris Versteeg tied the game with … Continue reading
Don’t Stop BeLeafing
Ryan Miller begs to differ. In fact, I would bet he made more than one leafs fan stop believing on this very night. As per his usual self, recently back from injury, Ryan “Leaf-killer” Miller had a superb performance between … Continue reading
Babe, I’m Gonna Leaf Ya
The leafs are okay, I guess. They’re better than last year – but only by a bit. Their current record is actually worse than their record through the final 20 games of last season, as opposed to the first 20 … Continue reading
NHL Party
You walk into Gary Bettman’s large house, and Patrick Kane hands you a beer. You walk around and mingle with the NHLers in attendance. This isn’t like any other NHL event, like the all-star game or the NHL awards, its … Continue reading
Leafs Make Good
A win. Woohoo. My boy Kadri chipped in with an apple on Versteeg’s first powerplay goal. All would have been perfect had I not dropped Versteeg in fantasy hockey yesterday. Hockey god karma. It was great to see the buds … Continue reading
Nazem.
Is it a sign of despair? A beacon of hope? Could it be? Our prize prospect Nazem Kadri gets to show off his stuff in the show, when and where it counts. Some consider this to be a sign of … Continue reading
We suck… Again.
We started 4-0. What the hell? Dion is injured for over a month now. Lacerated leg. WTF a second time. Phil Kessel is beginning to look less like the second coming of Jesus and more like the second coming of … Continue reading
Vesa Toskala
Is possibly the worst goaltender the Leafs have ever had. Ever. Considering what we gave up to get him – 1st pick, 2nd pick, and life without Mark Bell – he was a real piece of crap. John Ferguson Jr. … Continue reading
Ya Ok Tips
Check out this recent article on NHL.com. I do not know who wrote this article, or where they got all the hard drugs they did before writing it. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=541836&cmpid=rss-Feature%20Stories Come to think of it, 34% of people who read it … Continue reading
Wellwood Pics
Former leaf Kyle Wellwood recently took a break from “current team” (the KFC Doubledowns of the FFHL (fast food hockey league)) and posed for a photoshoot. Check out one of the great shots here.
Pure God.
Blessed art thou, Phil Kessel. I watched in person as P-Kess lit the lamp again on a beauty snipe as the leafs downed the panthers 3-1. Colton Orr – not the likeliest of heroes – had the GWG. Kessel is … Continue reading
Do You Beleaf?
First post in a while. Also, I recently renamed the blog after our hero, and savior, p-kess. The leafs looked godly after a 4-0 start to the season, but are looking less than omnipotent after loosing their past two, one … Continue reading
Update
So its been a while. a couple things. 1. My stanley cup predictions were crappy. 2. The leafs are going to make the playoffs this year – you heard it here first, folks. Thats all.
Playoff predictions
These are late – you’re just going to have to trust me that these picks were made before a single game was played in the 2010 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. Stanley Cup Winner: Vancouver Canucks Conn Smyth Trophy: Henrik Sedin … Continue reading
