Growing the game and making women’s hockey…
What a week in hockey! We learned that the sun is Gary Bettman’s nemesis, Henrik Lundqvist defies odds, and the Habs are not, in fact, a juggernaut. We’re also dealing with a Leafs roster full of injuries, and Mike Babcock continues his attempted redemption tour…among other things. Let’s dive in, eh? Leafs Lads The big…

Tonight is the third and final game of the three game series between the Leafs and Canucks, with the Leafs dominating play and winning both of the two prior games comfortably.

TMZ tweeted a post this morning that caught Leafs fans by surprise – because it was about our team!

Did ANYTHING else happen in the hockey world this week besides Tone DeAngelo getting waived and the subsequent rumours and reports about the behind the scenes drama with the Rangers? I mean I guess so but who can remember it when the Tony of it all is going on? I’ll do my best to remind…
