About Rob »

Hello all... my name is Rob Ellis and I was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and now living in Barrie.

I am a true Toronto sports fan and enjoy watching the Leafs, Blue Jays, Raptors, Argos, Rock, and FC whenever I can.

I like to bring a "historical" aspect to my articles and have 30+ years of watching sports to help me do that.

I welcome all comments, questions, and suggestions so please feel free to leave your feedback.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy my stuff.

Rob Ellis commented on Are the Bruins Starting To Question Trading Phil Kessel

I'm amused by some of these posts! As I sit here watching the Leafs beat up on Columbus... Kessel has just potted his 9th and 10th...

Hey Rob,

Aside from news on the show, we are also going to be syndicating the best Leafs articles from BR to the shows site. If you are interested, let me know.

Also, we are looking for guests if you would like to try your hand at radio?

Rob,
Thanks for the note. Besides the fact that it was very well written, I also voted for it because I am currently writing a similar article in the same format, only the topic is fraud in the NHL for the All-Star voting. I am writing it as if it were a memo on Gary Bettman's desk, like a "plan" of some sort. I think it's gonna be a hit. I should be publishing it today or tomorrow.
