Since it's been a while...

I'm going to have some fun at Damien Cox's expense.

Here is a paragraph from a relatively mundane article about how the Leafs are losing in OT and how they could like go 19-7-56 and make the playoffs.

But since we haven't posted anything of substance in a while and I don't feel like scouring the w wide w, I'll go ahead and rip this factually bankrupt paragraph sentence by sentence.

In Jonas Gustavsson, the club may have a bona fide No.1 goalie.

He must mean they are going to drag the number 1 down from the rafters and let the Monster wear it, because 3.22/.890 was good enough for a bona fide #1 about 20 years ago.

Although the numbers might not say so, Mike Komisarek played his best game of the season against the Habs.

Although the numbers might not say so, eating your own poop is better than starving to death.

Ian White is again proving smarts and talent may overcome size.

And that smarts and talent won't distract you from a moustache.


Mikhail Grabovski is showing vastly improved hustle and hunger these days.

Mikhail Grabovski: Damien Cox's winner of choice at the 2010 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating contest.

Seriously, how do you judge that? Hunger. Look in his eyes?

What makes a lot more sense is mentioning Grabovski's improved face off % against Montreal. He was 35% going into Saturday and kicked some faceoff circle ass. Wilson was using him late in the game in both zones. Say something like that, don't tell me he's showing more hunger.

    Amen, my brotha! Finally someone understands!
