Golf: NHL Playoffs Edition

by on April 18, 2010- 386 Comments

I absolutely love playing golf. There are days – many, many days – all I want to do is golf.

Might be some Leaf fans that share my love. Some fans are forced into golf due to the lack of playoffs.

Week 23 Torontosaurus Rex .. Leafs/Pens Tie Dubious NHL Record

by on March 29, 2010- 13 Comments

The Torontosaurus Rex for Week 23 is fitting and also notoriously absent from the only Leafs extra time loss in the last seven overtime/shootout games. In that loss, the Maple Leafs and Penguins tied a dubious NHL record, one night after the Leafs/Rangers surpassed 100 overtime games in the NHL this season.

Just Win, Baby: How to Beat Three-Point Games

by on March 25, 2010- 34 Comments

The most common complaint I hear from fans, media and even some hockey people revolves around the point system and the three point game.
