Now a Bleacher Report Featured Columnist for the Toronto Maple Leafs, I look forward to having the opportunity of writing about my favourite team each and every week. While finishing my degree at the University of Toronto, I spend most of my time reading, writing about and watching a variety of sports. As most of us can say, I am certainly addicted, and if I'm not busy watching hockey or spending an entire Sunday keeping up with as many football games as possible I'm... Well, actually that's pretty much all I do.
Like Mark Twain once said: "I never let schooling interfere with my education."
Couldn't have said it any better myself.
The greatest thing about sports is no matter who is playing or what is at stake, something incredible can occur at any time, and that's why I simply cannot get enough. Upsets, overtimes, shootouts, and plays that you just cannot see enough replays of; could it possibly get any better? No, well, not unless they stopped hammering players for touchdown celebrations. I mean come on NFL, let the guys have some fun. And don't even get me started on the instigator penalty.
But I digress...
I'm a massive Leafs and New England Patriots fan, but if there's a game on, it doesn't matter who is playing; I am so there! My opinion is only worth what it cost you, but I hope it to be enjoyable and entertaining at the same time. Sparking conversation and heated debates about sports; what more could we possibly ask for?

Bruins signed Savard. Jason Blake is your FAVOURITE Leaf? How? Honestly, how? Unless you love the over-rated, over-paid, underwhelming type, I just can't see how that...
I think you may dig this from KD. It deserves AOTD :

Jon,
What do you think about a possible return to Canada for the Nordiques? :) what about the Jets if Phoenix moves there? Apparantly Winnipeg is the perferred place for the Atlanta Thrashers owners. As a Canadian, how do you feel?
Nordiques ready for a rebirth in Quebec?

Personally, I hope both happen because the NHL belongs in Canada and I want to see more teams not less like it used to be. The fact they want to return to their roots and bring back the former names in their former citites is so cool. Read my latest article here:

Let me know what you think. I know we've heard these rumors time and time again only to get our hopes up, but the economy wasn't nearly as bad and secondly there weren't so many teams for potential owners to literally have their pick over.

Hi there,
I have recently started my own project to rank the top 100 hockey players off all-time and just recently posted players 1-10. I would love to hear what you think about my list or for you to even post your own list in the comments section. Please, give it a read!
