Since the lockout the Maple Leafs have the worst winning percentage (0.359) in all of hockey during games they're involved in a fight.

Other notable details:

Detroit has only been in a fight in 14.4% of their games, compare that to Anaheim who have the most with 54.6% of their games containing scraps.

The Capitals win percentage plummets if they're involved in at least one fight from 0.498 to 0.393. I'm not sure what conclusions to make of this.

The LA Kings improve their win percentage by the most, a 0.085 increase, if they dropped their gloves in a game.

Note: This doesn't include this year as I don't have the data yet, though a manual count could be pretty easily done for the Leafs. Also my data seems to be missing two games somewhere.

I'll be extending my research to determine the game score situations with which these fights take place.

Stylish is a Firefox/Chrome extension that allows you to change web pages locally as the page is rendering. I created a custom style to make recs on PPP to turn blue and instead of a thumbs up have the Leafs logo.

I'm no good at video but I've tried my hand with some audio mashups before. Here's my latest using Mahler's Symphony 2 (Resurrection) combined with some highlights of the Maple Leafs resurgence.

I had a hard time tracking this down, so I figured I'd make it more easily accessible. The video is at hockeyfights.com or you can youtube search it, but as far as I can tell this radio call is pretty rare.

Just a little Thanksgiving treat for my fellow Canadians and Jays fans. Blue Jays audio highlights from some of the memorable moments in 2010 with Mahler's Symphony #2 (Resurrection) serving as the background music.

A little end of the year Blue Jays tribute project I had fun working on. Jerry and Alan's calls capturing each of Bautista's 54 home runs.

I seem to recall a game against Wakefield last year that really messed us up for a while. And with Beckett being 3-5 with a 7.34 ERA against the Blue Jays in 13 career starts it's not exactly a welcome change.

Not really baseball related but thought I'd share it anyway. It's a picture taken last night from the Space Station of the Aurora Borealis with the bright lights of Chicago (and Indianapolis) apparent.

The Star reports on a report in the Chicago Sun-Times having both Alex Rios and Ozzie Guillen postulating the doom of baseball in Toronto.

A very positive story for baseball on a day that could use one.
