Leafs Fan. Crosby fan (so I sometimes cheer for the Pens). Inexplicably obsessed with hockey, but extremely bored with every other sport in the world. My dream is to one day see Sidney Crosby holding the Cup... wearing a Leafs jersey.

3eager renaissance; People are going to ask if We’re still on antibiotics We are a little high on potential everyone snickers ‘underachieving unable’ But that’s the plan… The plan here is to be younger better, we’re trying to show we’re not just Timbits and MAPLE LEAFS We’re tough We make an impact kind of We’re defensive active competitive getting younger, an organization new team- mates… -old team We’re not done.
Here's a found poem I made from a Star article titled "Lupul eager for spot in Burke's plan" (Jan 10). It's about Canadians coming together to prove ourselves and win Olympic gold on home soil (specifically in mens' hockey) and parallels the Leafs need to prove themselves and get back into the playoffs. Hope you like it, my teacher sure did :)link

What would the Leafs look like in a six-team NHL?
10Disclaimer: this was written in late 2009, so I don't know if it was posted before, but it's August and my first fanshot Le Grand Club (Montreal) celebrated the Habs' centennial by imagining what a six-team league would be like with today's players. Each original six team gets to keep three of their own players, and then conducts a draft to pick the rest of their roster. The original three: Tomas Kaberle, Phil Kessel, Francois Beauchemin The new additions: Sidney Crosby, Dion Phaneuf (article written before The Trade), John Tavares, Anze Kopitar, Jay Bouwmeester, Miikka Kiprusoff, Ryan Smyth, Brad Richards, Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin, Milan Hejduk, Ales Hemsky, Erik Johnson, Dustin Penner, Niklas Kronwall, Steve Mason, Maxime Talbot How would this team do? What team would you put up for the Leafs and the other teams? Here's the original article if anyone wants to read French.
