No, this post does not relate to the beautiful hard work that the boys in blue are putting on so far this season, but to the utterly disgusting story that I read on sportsnet.ca today.
It appears that David Frost not only abused his young male hockey players, but apparently their 16 year old girlfriends too. Firstly, these players are gutless for asking and pressuring their young girlfriends into doing it, but worst of all, they failed to show the type of love someone should when they call someone their girlfriend. Secondly, maybe Mike Danton had it right when he tried to kill this coward/pervert/manipulator/shame of a human being. Maybe this guy being gone from this planet was a much better option than wasting taxpayers money keeping him in prison. I am going to keep this short and sweet because, well frankly this guy doesn't even deserve to have his name mentioned, let alone discussed ad nauseum. If it was my child that he did this to...he wouldn't still be here. Sick pervert.
Until next time

Thoughts From Game #1
Is there anything better than spoiling a banner night?
How dumb do you have to be to think the Cup goes upside down? About as dumb as you have to be to make Def Leppard the band of the NHL I guess. Great to see my buddy Quincey turn it back over.
To steal a line from Dan O'Toole..."remind me to never allow the NHL to plan a party for me"
Is it just me...or is Jonas Frogren the second coming of Dany Markov? I know Johan Franzen thinks so.
I am excited to see Ron Wilson have John Mitchell on the opening night roster, the kid earned it. Country club of veterans no more.
Mikhail Grabovski looks great. Excellent skater.
Kulemin still looks hesitant, but who can argue with a breakaway game winner?
Mike Van Ryn has already done more defensively than Bryan McCabe.
Gotta say, I don't mind the trap when it results in wins. Excellent work Ron Wilson.
I guess you really do spell VESA with MVP in it somewhere.
I like Niklas Hagman. Great skater, smart shooter...Jason Blake could learn something.
Is Ponikarovsky carrying a child? Or is there another reason hes skating like hes carrying 8 pounds on him?
See you on Saturday
RIP Luc Bourdon
Until next time.

Amen Jim Kelley
Allow me to preface this by saying that I have the utmost respect for Mats Sundin's playing career in Toronto. Greatest captain in Leafs history? Doubtful, as showing leadership on an off the ice, both through your actions and vocally, is a key ingredient to being a great captain, and Mats always seemed to just laugh off losses. That being said, the man is without a doubt one of the top 5 Toronto Maple Leafs players of all time, if not top 3. My list would have to include, in no particular order
Sittler
Salming
Sundin...woah S's?
Keon
Maybe Gilmour and Lanny...who knows really, it's all open to personal interpretation.
However, with this being said, I must call attention to Jim Kelley's Sportsnet.ca blog in which he calls out Sundin on harming the future of a team that he was so dedicated to. A few lines that stand out, which I firmly believe, are some of the only intelligent ones written about this delicate topic so far (take note Damien Cox)...
"He will surely someday be honoured the way those and others were, with a banner in the rafters, a legacy player, one of the greatest of the greats.
But behind closed doors, Sundin will also be remembered as a Leaf who could have done more for the club and for himself in the pursuit of a Stanley Cup and in choosing not to, he turned his back on helping the franchise one last time.
The Leafs team that steps onto the ice tonight is weaker because of that decision. The climb from the bottom will take longer because Sundin chose to walk away leaving nothing in his place.
It will be difficult if not impossible for the current management to respect him for that. The painful rebuilding project that gets underway tonight could have been farther along had he not made the decision to quit.
These Leafs, both the players and the organization turn the page tonight. The one thing they both can be certain of is that Mats Sundin is no longer a part of anything except their past.
That’s because Sundin chose not to leave anything for their future. "
Now this is only a small excerpt, however I do encourage you to read the entire blog as Kelley really nails it on the head here. If you look at the timeline of events:
1) Mats does not want to leave because his heart is in Toronto
2) Mats doesn't want to leave because he doesn't believe in rental players...(so you'll wait until the off-season to screw us harder than a peter north/jenna jamieson film from the 90's?)
3) Mats delclines deals on deadline day which could net us a first round pick and a prospect in a deep draft.
4) Mats takes the summer off to make a decision
5) Mats decides the summer isn't enough time, so he decides to start the season...as a rental player?
6) Mats remains undecided in October, and looks less and less likely to return as a Maple Leaf.
...it becomes clear that Mats probably didn't want to play at the end of last year either.
As much as I have defended Sundin's legacy, it becomes more evident that he really couldn't care less about his legacy and cares more about himself. Sad to see considering how much he accomplished on the ice.
So long Mats.
Until Next time
