I have a guest.

Toronto fearsome. Off the post. And Gill falls. Price scrambles back. Everyone in sync, all men for one crest. And we waited six games for this.

The Leafs have a long and storied history. And even though most of it is darkly lit by power-struggles and other (un)royal hockey rubble, they have had some good men in the sweaters. I was reminded last week that the correct term is hockey sweater. Not hockey jersey.

Again the front seats are largely empty to begin the period. Concessions? Or weak fans? Or just wine and cheesers gone home after a long night of wasting some eight-year old’s deserved chance.

I wait for the Leafs to demonstrate their inferiority.

That red helmet has to go. Joel looks like a Micronaut.

Alain enjoys discussing fraudulence. Exposing it. He leads the questions along the Colin Campbell lines.

Islander Musings, In-Game Scribbles
April 2, 2009, by Homme De Sept-Iles
Islanders take another penalty. Blake Comeau. He hit Kostitsyn from behind. Could have been a payback hit but it looked chicken cheap. Strutting tough in the barnyard.
Ottawa Musings, In-Game Scribbles

Mike Fisher is on the ice. He hasn’t been the same player for quite some time. It’s a bonus for Montreal each time we play them. Something like Darcy Tucker’s emotional absence from the Leafs two seasons ago.
Buffalo Musings, In-Game Scribbles

I've had enough of Benoit Brunet. From Pierre Houde's expressions, it would seem he has been feeling the same for weeks or maybe even months. Brunet is not a quarter the outstanding colour-man that Pednault was. Brunet may improve, of course. We shall see.
San Jose Musings, In-Game Scribbles
February 28, 2009, by Homme De Sept-Iles
San Jose can't establish control anymore. And after a lot of mid-ice dithering and some San Jose dump-ins, the period ends, mercifully for Team Teal.
Philadelphia Musings, In-Game Scribbles

Hartnell is like a guy who fixes a tv by kicking it. Just on force, he manages to water-buffalo his way through two Canadiens and gets a shot off. High and wide but his single-mindedness is notable.
Russians, Penguins, Czechs, Frenchmen …. It’s a Goal War
February 19, 2009, by Homme De Sept-Iles
On the second of two games in two nights, the Canadiens let their tongues hang, tails point and went for the flanks-shuddering sprint.
L.A. Musings, In-Game Scribbles
January 31, 2009, by Homme De Sept-Iles
That look from the coal-lined innards of an oven. Plekanec has scored at last. It's validation. The type of outcome that causes more not less with a player like Plekanec.
