A few years back, during the Stanley Cup playoffs, the entire population of Toronto had dreams of championships dancing in their heads. It was the spring of 2002 and they just defeated their arch-rivals, the Ottawa Senators, and were headed to the eastern final against the “lowly” Carolina Hurricanes. The Leafs’ dreams went up in… Continue reading Gauntlet Sportspinions: don’t blame the Europeans for playing hockey

What kind of suit will Don Cherry be buried in?
They say that the only things in life that are certain are death and taxes– I tend to agree. Death becomes us all at some point, but the impact of the loss of life is never equal in our society.

Vegas, prostitutes and the meaning of university
Each and every year I have been a university student I have made a trek south of the border to go surfing in northern California during February reading break. The basic principle behind this trip is to pack five guys into a smelly Ford and create some memories that will (theoretically) last a lifetime.

Hey nerds! Fantasy hockey is a serious game
There is a simple point that is often overlooked by fantasy hockey degenerates and those who know and understand it are the ones who usually end up winning money, prestige and chicks (the third option does not happen very often). The reality is that the fantasy market place is a virtual petri dish of inequality.… Continue reading Hey nerds! Fantasy hockey is a serious game

The Beatles are overrated
There has been something burning in my soul like the Hindenburg for a very long time. It is a contentious issue, there is no doubt about that.
