John-Michael Liles started making phone calls when he learned had been traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs. After spending his entire NHL career in Colorado, he was anxious to hear about how life was going to change.

Now That You Love To Hate Me! Go Sens Go!
Well I guess I stirred up a hornet’s nest with my post yesterday. I knew it would draw some reaction but I didn’t anticipate the outright rage. I understand a little bit where it is coming from, but seriously, is it really worth the ill feelings it apparently inspired?

Maple Leafs waffle-thrower beats the system, hopes ban is over
In late December, Joe Robb was charged with "mischief to
property" for tossing waffles on the ice at a Toronto Maple Leafs game while
wearing a Santa hat and a Darcy Tucker jersey (which, in other jurisdictions,
may have bumped up the charges to a felony).
The Oakville stonemason was copycatting an earlier
nonsensical protest in which a fan tossed waffles on the ice in...

Toronto waffle-thrower charged; why Leafs must embrace the Eggo
On Monday night, the Toronto Maple Leafs' game against the
Atlanta Thrashers was delayed when someone threw waffles on the ice during play, continuing the
peculiar fan protest in Toronto against the Leafs' utter futility.
The protestor was 31-year-old Joseph Robb of Oakville,
wearing a Darcy Tucker jersey and a Santa hat (as seen in this
incredible Toronto Star image). The...

Flyers/Leafs, Easy Breezy
Finally, a game that went according to the script. We played an over-matched club, and handled business the way it was meant to be. An easy 4-1 win, thanks to a pair from Briere, along with tallies from Pronger and Leino. Boucher played well, making a few tough saves to preserve the lead.

Finally, the powerplay got things going for us. Villefired a wrister...

Musings on the NHL and items of much more importance
Sean Avery was at it again. Let’s get right to the facts of the matter in the latest involvement of, ‘as the Avery’ turns. How Darcy Tucker ever got the nickname Side Show Bob ahead of this guy is beyond comprehension. Ladislav Smid made several mistakes in their encounter on November 14th. They are obvious, especially in hindsight but I give the guy credit for at least wanting...

Of Darcy Tucker and the Jersey Jinx
Darcy Tucker has announced his retirement. The former Leafs forward scored 215 goals and 476 points and amassed 1410 minutes in penalties in 947 career NHL games.
Back in 2002, Darcy Tucker and Bryan McCabe had terrible seasons. That led my brothers and I to believe in the jersey jinx. You see, one brother wore a McCabe jersey while the other wore a Darcy Tucker. I, of course...
