It’s been a while. More than a month, actually. I haven’t been in hiding. I haven’t been cut off from the world at large. I’ve just been busy. So, too, have the Leafs. At the time of my last article, the team held a 6-1-0 record. Since that time it’s been something of a roller […]
Two weeks into the season, and the Toronto Maple Leafs are off to a start…
The NHL season is finally upon us with pre-season play wrapping up this Sunday.

A sensational season driven by a core of rookies that exploded onto the NHL stage has ignited the feeling that this franchise might soon have what it takes to be a perennial contender […]
IFC’s latest comedy Benders is about grown men who are obsessed with their division eight hockey league. Three episodes in, the bro-ish series from Tom Sellitti and Jim Serpico (both fresh from the Denis Leary stable) mostly just feels like a weak League imitation.
