Matt is just a regular guy, just like you.....unless you're a girl
Referees intending to blow….
I can’t write about the Leafs today. I just can’t. They’re awful. If I had watched last night’s game something would have been broken. I’m not going to talk about Ian White’s phantom double minor (urge to kill rising) but I will comment on the goal that wasn’t counted because of the referee’s “intent to [...]
(Semi)Live-Blog Battle of Ontario This Tuesday: Duncan_Disorderly vs. TheMatt
****cue odd couple music**** What happens when you take a straight-laced, no nonsense Sens fan*….. ****da doo da doo da dooo**** …and make him do a (semi) live-blog post with a saucy, silly, handsome, dashing, muscular, zany Leafs fan**….. ****doo da doo, doo da doo, doooo**** …..while both are buoyed by ‘liquid encouaragement’….. ****da doo [...]

Now we all know how much of a crush Gary Bettman has on the NBA. The guy got his start there and worked with them for over ten years before attempting to ruin becoming commissioner of the NHL. I am not a Gary Bettman fan. I will tell you straight out that he is trying [...]
Self-Deception for Leafs fans
If you were to ask me what was wrong with the Toronto Maple Leafs right now, I wouldn’t know what to say. Why not ask what’s right?…actually that question is pretty tough too. People are already calling for Ron Wilson’s head, there have been goaltending controversies from day one, and they have yet to see [...]
Leafs/Habs: Opening Night Preview
With Thursday’s season opener on the horizon, I thought it was just about time to do the first in a (potential) series of game breakdowns. These keys to the game will give you some key points to concentrate on while you watch the game with your carbonated, malt-based beverage of choice. First up for the [...]
What can a Preseason Game teach us?
To be honest, Not very much. Half of each team is kids trying to make the team, and everyone else is at 75% speed, yet i think we saw some glimpses of what this team is going to be about in last night’s loss to the bruins. Let’s start with the most obvious. The “Brian [...]
