Listen to Johnny Bower sing Honkey the Christmas Goose.

I think the Leafs should return to their roots of getting players to record albums.

It's the most wonderfully romantic day of the year, so I must ask:

Skinnyfish, will you be MINE?

Some of us may remember this post, from earlier this spring. Well, Torontoist has released the park names that Torontonians can vote on for Sherbourne Park.

"Those semi-finalists are: Bayfront Village Green, Blue Edge Park, Kanadario Park, Merchant's Wharf Park, Ridout Park, Sherbourne Commons, Tkaronto Park, and Waterside Park. (Sorry hockey fans: "Wendel Park" didn't make it.)"

Pension Plan Puppets Toskala Exorcism

As I was reading Fleet Fox's post and the comments that followed, I couldn't help but notice; as a fan base, we have a lot of built up anger towards Vesa Toskala.

And honestly, who could blame us? Vesa Toskala is one of the worst goalies of the modern era. He refused to learn or change his technique (even when he was given the opportunity to study with one of the best goalie coaches in the NHL) he's let in some of the most laughable goals memorable and he still refused to show a modicum of regret or embarassment for his play. It's been said many times that without Vesa Toskala as our goalie this year, we would have finished out of the lottery and would not be giving Boston that coveted 2nd overall pick. Wouldn't that be lovely?

But, what can we do about this built up anger? I have a proposition - a Toskala Exorcism.

In my personal experience, the best way to rid yourself of anger is to give it a place to shine. No matter how or where you do it, airing out your anger is the best way to end it. In this vein, I propose that we use this forum to exorcise our hatred and resentment of Vesa Toskala. Think of it as therapy.

If you were talking to Vesa right now, what would you say? Write him a letter in the comments and let the anger flow out.

Pension Plan Puppets Airing of Grievences - Ian White's Mustache

Ian White, what happened to your wondrous mustache? I enjoyed the prestige and glory that it brought to our blue line and the many tributes made to it's magnificence.

Like This:

And This:


Without your mustache, you have left the role of Mustachulent Leaf to Colton Orr! Did his NHL career result from his mustachey greatness? I THINK NOT.

So for my Festivus Miracle wish - Please Ian, grow back your mustache, because I don't enjoy looking at this:
