Why The Toronto Maple Laffs Will Not Make The Playoffs

Okay, I just saw this because I was browsing the most viewed clips on YouTube.  And I went to look up the score to find that TO did end up winning the game.  But still, this is hilarious.  Best part?  It's a shorthanded goal to boot!

Super Tuesday

Reddit has lots of good articles about today's “Super Tuesday” primaries in the United States.  Do a search for your favourite candidate to narrow it down.  This one's interesting – apparently John McCain, the Republican frontrunner, was born in the Panama Canal Zone, so is not actually eligible to be President (at least he wouldn't […]

One of my favourites…

Flames 9, Lightning 6

Flames 9, Lightning 6 – Game NotesI didn't see the game tonight (getting Santa pictures at the mall in Weyburn is apparently more important ) but I saw the highlights and wow.  A see-saw battle in the first meeting between these two teams in Tampa since the Lightning beat Calgary in Game Seven of the […]

Green Is The Colour/Football Is The Game (and some YouTube Highlights While You're Waiting For The Game)

In 1989, the Riders won only their second Grey Cup ever in the 95 year history of the CFL (admittedly, pretty embarrassing in an 8-10 team league.)  They won with a team led by QB Kent Austin in a game played in Toronto's Skydome.  This year, the Riders, with Austin as coach, go into the […]

Go Flames Go!

The Calgary Flames start their season tonight.  Pace is wearing an orange off-red outfit in this picture but I'm sure his loyalties are clear.  My predictions for the final this year are Flames over Tampa Bay in a re-match of 2004 with the right team winning this time. Pace is picking the Ducks repeating as […]

So Much Randomness In The World

Apparently having a full-time job in a city an hour away from where you normally live is not conducive to keeping up with e-mail, Facebook, blog posts, personal diary entries, baby diary entries, regular web surfing activities as well as all those other things that make up this thing we call life.  For instance, last […]

Dear Hockey Gods – By Flashpoint

I don't hate the shootout as much as some people do.  I  actually have a much bigger problem with a scoring system that allows for some games to be worth 3 points and others 2  (if I was in charge, a win is 2 points, a loss is 0 points no matter when it happens, […]
