Is this thing still on?
A revelatory insight into the Silver Fox's endgame in the Jeff Finger negotiations can be found here.
A little (is two months a little?) belated, but farewell to former Raptors voice and longtime Marty York nemesis Chuck Swirsky. No matter who he's replaced with, we doubt they'll ever rise to the level of Chuck's cultural importance.
And why contribute to PPP or Bitter's "How I became a fan" series when I can use the same idea to pad out my own posts? (Come on, you didn't think we learned anything from the mittenstringers?) I will post more on my Leafs fandom in the coming weeks, but wearing the blue and white of failed glory and glorious failure wasn't a foregone conclusion (although I am a lifelong Scotland football supporter). Though I picked my baseball team early, I decided as a child to go with the team whose game I got to go to first. After a flirtation with the Montreal Antichrists, my dad won seats at Maple Leaf Gardens sometime in 91 or 92, where if my dodgy childhood memory serves, the Leafs overcame two goals by Mats Sundin and the Nords to win 3-2 in OT. And it was sealed.
Good thing I wasn't born ten years later - I'd probably have only been able to attend a Senators game. In which case.... I'd still be a Leafs fan! Try the veal, proceed to the comments - and maybe let us know what your first game was like.

Haha, bingo.
hahaha sneaky SOBs!
Consider it fallout from the ongoing 'not linking to Cox Bloc in the FTBs' started on your vacation and continued today.
We are small, petty men.
You guys just put this up so I would have to tell the story of my first live game and a dirty sens fan threatening to have his baby shit on my fancy new Yashin Isles jersey.
Damn dirty sens.

You guys were on hiatus the whole time.
Untrue - we had two posts on June 23. Although that may have predated the PPP trip.
The threat was redundant, since you already had shit on the front of the jersey (Isles logo).
That was my favourite experience at a hockey game, though. We gave Yashin a standing ovation every time he touched the puck.

Oh. Well it seems that you're right, and since I wrote all of the PPP updates in that time period, I have no choice other than to blame PPP himself for being a poor mentor.
I blame Chemmy's lack of focus in blogging school.
