That would be better than a half-assed corporate letter of mea culpa! I’m sorry… I see what they are trying to do, but like their February swoon, they come up miserably short. Don’t want to even think about hockey until next year. Trashy, Ottawa, Ontario

Trashy's World: I don’t really care who wins the Cup…
… but here are my fearless predictions: First Round Matchups 1) NYR vs. OTT Rangers in 5. Sens aren’t in the same league… well, they are, but not, figuratively… goaltending will choke for the Schmens. Losing Neil for this series will hurt big time…Spezza will get arrested outside Madison Square

…as I do morons like Pierre Polievre, Vic Toews and Dean Del Mastro… but his rant on Brian Burke (GM of the Leafs for those of you not-so-enlightened) was dead on the mark. Leaf Nation has for a while bemoaned the lack of Canadian content on the team, and more

These videos are both fantastic for similar reasons. They both show how positive and energetic Mr. Grodon is and how he is the progressive voice that Toronto-Danforth needs in Ottawa. I had the pleasure of spending two days canvassing for Mr. Gordon. The first thing I noticed was that the

As we all know Great Nerd Leader likes to pose as a hockey fan, a hockey book writer, and a road hockey warrior. And wherever he goes a shiny set of goal posts seem to follow him. Like here on the tarmac of some airport, where his former flunky Dimitri

… about Tim Thomas being an idiot. I don’t usually copy and paste an entire text, but this letter by former Chicago Bear Tim Wrightman is an example of how Thomas should have handled the Obama invitation. Class. 100% Pure class. I hope someone shows this to the Bruin Goalie…

“Like most of you I was inclined to say the war was caused by fish.” However, after a close examination of the evidence, Cadman Michaels — who held doctorates in theoretical physics and history, but who called himself an Alternate Historian — could say now with some confidence that the

When I saw the Star headline today I was stunned. Could Stephen Harper and Vladimir Putin really be planning to face off against each other on the ice? Prime Minister Stephen Harper is making plans to play on a Canadian hockey team in two exhibition games against a Russian squad

… during my vacation. But I had to comment on this. Quebec nationalists want the Habs to be more “French”. Gimme a break. Why don’t you look at the standings and figure out a way to win a few more games! Look, I hate the Habs just as much as

Stay classy, Quebec nationalists, stay classy… Maybe they should worry more about winning a few hockey games.
