I’ll be the first to admit that what I know about coaching junior age, kiddee type hockey players wouldn’t fill up one of their cups, but this decision by the CHA to allow little kids to start whacking each other seems to be born from someone suffering from post-concussion syndrome. And I base that only on what the CHA has said in the past. The CHA’s mandate is the advancement of the game of hockey in Canada. But at first…
For the duration of the playoffs, I’ve been ranking the Leafs near or at the bottom of the TSN.ca Power Rankings and that has made the Toronto faithful real unhappy. But on the flip side – placing Toronto dead last week after week after week did inspire them in a way: They constantly were wondering about the method of my birth, my species and just what kind of a relationship I have with my Mom?… This past week however when…
There is one thing that you can always count on and that is the Vice-President of the NHL and the chief judge and executioner of league justice, Brian Burke is always consistent in his inconsistency. On Thursday night during the opener of the Western Conference Semi-final Dallas’ Grant Marshall drove the butt end of his stick into Kelly Buckburger’s eyehole, which quickly blew up like Bim the Michelin Man.

Can you imagine! An athlete flipping the finger at some pissed up and abusive fans!!! Be still my beating heart. I have to go lie down. When did we all become so sensitive all of a sudden huh? Well, apparently Canada has become a very politically correct, kinder gentler place than ever before. And that’s saying something! Upon soliciting responses to a question asking if Theo Fleury should be dumped from the Olympic roster after he was fined and issued…

I always assumed it was the colour of native American’s skin. I guess that would make me a “pinkskin”. However, that semi-racist assumption on my part turns out not to be so. The redskin part that is. I…

September 1st 1984 – That is our birthday confirmed to me by the guy who manned the anchor desk that first day, Jim Van Horne. Fifteen years ago today – Canada’s sports network was born. The Sports Network – TSN. 1st Promo And thinking back to that day – (nice hair there Jim) – it’s like telling kids that once upon a time there wasn’t any colour television and even worse, no remote control. There was a life before TSN….
