Tonight the Leafs are in Raleigh to take on the Carolina Hurricanes in a battle for the basement in the NHL standings. If this would’ve been the two previous seasons when I was perfecting the art of Team Tanking I would’ve been all over the Leafs to lose this game. However the script has been [...]

That bell you hear is the death toll for my fantasy hockey team. I’m reading reports that Alex Ovechkin is out with a shoulder injury and his return to the lineup is unknown. If he’s out for an extended period of time my chances of finally hoisting the Danny Lloyd Cup are decimated. I have a [...]
The Phil Kessel Era Begins Tonight

Tonight is the night folks. After a few months on the sidelines the Phil Kessel era begins in Toronto tonight. I am in no means expecting him to immediately turn around the floundering squad’s fortunes, but his insertion into the line up finally allows me to feel some sort of excitement especially after their dismal [...]

Here’s a clip of Christopher Walken reciting Lady Gaga’s Poker Face. Pure comedy gold my friends.
The Real Reason to Watch the World Series
Posted in Arsanomics on October 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
As an ardent supporter of all things Toronto Blue Jays I’ve had few reasons to get jacked up in the last 16 years. Their absence from post season play has made me a fair weather watcher of the World Series. I consider myself a bigger fan (not just in waist circumference) than most, yet I [...]
In Hopes of a Wonderful Weekend – Here’s One for the First Lady

When you are a lazy hombre and as unpleasant of a looker like myself you need to take advantage of every loophole when it comes to making your spouse happy. Since I’ve been labelled a “big disappointment” (circa 1995 by Josh Shanks, a first rate critic on all things raging from peaceful relations at the Six Nations Arena to [...]
Why All the Panic In Leafs Nation?
Posted in Arsanomics on October 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Let’s call a spade a spade – the beginning of the 2009-2010 Leafs season isn’t going quite as well as I thought (I’m guessing it hasn’t gone exactly according to Hoyle for Brian Burke either). There’s many out there in Leafs Nation ready to scale the CN tower and see how long the free fall [...]
Teetering on a Post Season Fantasy Meltdown
Posted in Arsanomics on September 20, 2009 | 2 Comments »
The Arsyholiks (my fantasy baseball team) are teetering on the brink of elimination from the semi-finals of my fantasy baseball league. This is somewhat disappointing to me (not so to the First Lady as she won’t have to see me check out the fantasy stat tracker any longer). The fate of my squad and their [...]
Pay It Backward Day – September 30th, 2009
Posted in Arsanomics on September 20, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Every once in a while I find a pretty good cause that I must make mention of it here on the mediocre blog that can’t. I mean this blog hits home with about 9 people on average so I must use my big boy voice to raise some awareness from time to time, it’s my civic [...]
In Kessel We Trust?
Posted in Arsanomics on September 19, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Toronto Maple Leafs have acquired Phil “The Net” Kessel from the Boston Bruins. In the transaction the Leafs gave up 2 1st round picks and a 2nd round pick. I’m sure the reaction to this move will be wide ranging since everybody loves to weigh in on all things Toronto (there’s many closet Leaf fans out [...]
