Related to WWI, Maple leaf regiment. There are a few explanations, but the proper noun one is the gist of it:

Yep, this. I wanted the kids to get playoff experience, win at least one game, and then look forward to the future. They’ve made this whole series just gravy. It’s weird being in the position that even if we lose, I’ll be disappointed BUT STILL HAPPY.

That was my favourite. Long live Flintor.

I told my Pens fan friend yesterday that she better thank me (because it’s all my doing, of course, not the Leafs themselves) for tiring the Caps out for them. Pens would take it anyway, but we’ll have helped. :P

“Toronto fans know never to expect anything good.”

Thought he was wearing a hipster beanie there.

So this Gomez fella seems kind of evil, eh? O_O

I almost facepalmed myself to death last night reading the CBJ fans on twitter calling this a “dirty play” by Kessel. Which begs the question, why am I on twitter...

I generally think heckling is stupid, but if it’s clever or genuinely funny, it’s...well, funny. I love James Neal & especially Mike Cammalleri’s replies here:

I can’t imagine how he’ll be able to play. But then I think of Joannie Rochette, & wonder if playing would keep his mind occupied, if only for a short time. I don’t know. So sad for the family:(

Papineau throwing that water around is in my top 10 sports moments ever. Still get chills. Also, poor Zezel :(

He’s OK, but he’s no Joe Bowen. Bowen should call every game in every sport.

My main wish at the beginning of this series was “PLEASE just don’t get swept.” SOOOOOO happy we’ll at least be able to say we didn’t get swept. Not to take anything away from how well they’re playing (and how about Kapenen this series?! Someone’s earning his spot on next year’s roster.)

Pretty sure I’ve seen him on the Barton bus.

Using McSorley as a comparison here was not the right choice.

Yeah, that kind of stuff only makes him better. So I say do it. :)

Ugh, looks like my week...

Leafs had that arena tense as fuck all night. They aren’t gonna win this series, but if they keep playing like they did last night, they’ll at least make a good series out of it, which is all I want for the rookies. Well, that’s not entirely true - of course I want them to win & win everything, but, you know,…

I can see Vancouver making a play for Sutter.
