When I was a kid, I delivered the newspaper to Rick Vaive, though it never occurred to me that it was a "job". I met Nikolai Borschevsky once in 1996. I got his autograph and asked him if he was still playing. He looked at me like I was crazy and then he said "yes". Then I looked at him like he was crazy. He actually won the Russian scoring title with Spartak in 96-97. Who knew?

Forward Alexei Ponikarovsky missed Monday’s practice.
"I was going to tell you we traded him and you guys would go running," Wilson told a clutch of reporters. "But his wife had a baby at 3 a.m. last night. So, obviously, I excused him and congratulated him and he’ll be in the lineup tomorrow."
Was it a boy or a girl?
"He had a boy," Wilson said. "He named him Ron."
It's a Poni-boy! Congratulations to Alexei Ponikarovsky, and to, uh, Coach Ron Wilson, I guess. Good call, Alexei.

Editor's Note: The General takes a look at the Leafs' forgotten superstar in a great fanpost.
Congratulations to the Toronto Maple Leafs for their 6-5 shoot-out victory last night over the Devils. Congratulations to Toskala for the win and for killing the Cujo-switch experiment. Congratulations to Niklas Hagman for the beautiful, memorable winner, and getting a laugh from Marty too. And congratulations to Wilson and the entire team for showing that hustle and perserverance really do pay off.

You're all clear kid! Now let's blow this thing and go home!
Did anybody in Vancouver get a similar letter?

An open letter from Mats Sundin to the city of Toronto, and to the fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs, for whom he cares so deeply:

Sundin Coming Home?
This is good. Really good.
This is a video that takes a close-up look at Mats Sundin's thought process with a graphic illustration of what's going on inside his head. The ping-pong ball represents his decision making abilities, while the guy in Red represents his desire to control his own destiny, either to leave the game or to come back and keep playing. The guy in Blue represents the Leafs - entertaining the fans with no idea how to actually win.
I'm sorry. I miss hockey so much.

Gary Bettman's Suggestions To Improve The NHL
- Immediate expansion into Europe with an eye on Japan and China
- Increase obstruction/interference calls. Eye-contact between opposing players should result in coincidental minors
- One shot per team in each shoot-out will be "judged" and awarded a point based on "brilliance and immagination", resulting in 4, or even 5-point games
- No blue-lines, 3-on-3 overtime, and 2 basketballs instead of a hockey puck
- get a different commissioner
Okay, y'know about Todd Gill, but what about this?
How weird is that? The Todd Gill thing is odd, but this is another level entirely. Try, spooky.
