A Coxwork Orange
I guess the old joke is true - the mittenstringers have donated their brains to science:

I will be watching at least part of the Leafs loss to the Devils tonite, so feel free to stop by and distract me from the pain that is New Jersey hockey and Toronto's decade-plus ineptitude when faced with same. No Cox 'liveblog' tonight (a real live blog updates more than three times a game and doesn't moderate out comments), so I'll be without his jilted-lover rage towards Matt Stajan for writing McCabe's name on his stick (OMG MATT'S IN THE BURN BOOK NOW), and 'analysis' like saying it'll take another month to evaluate the team after the Ottawa game before concluding they suck again down a goal after one period.
Christ, if they won the Cup I am dead certain he'd be saying we should 'evaluate' them after their next four seasons to judge if it was a fluke or not so then we can go back in time and not care unless they turn into the 80s Oilers.
Myself, instead of watching the scoreboard I will be interested to see how Kulemin responds to last nite's demotion, whether John Mitchell can keep it going, what Finger does, and whether Alex Steen plans on doing anything at all this season. TO THE FAILCAVE!
Brain's 'Hate Circuit' Identified
ScienceDaily (Oct. 29, 2008) -- People who view pictures of someone they hate display activity in distinct areas of the brain that, together, may be thought of as a 'hate circuit', according to new research by scientists at UCL (University College London).
Apparently the experiment involved sitting Cox and Berger down and showing them pictures of:Two Leaf fans smiling

I know Steen hasn't shown up on the scoreboard this year, but I think he's played alright. He does other things, the little things. He forechecks hard, at least.
And Ponikarovsky with a 5 game point streak. Yes.
ALEX STEEN!
STEEN! With a big goal. I am a greater motivator than Moses, Gandhi, and Pat Burns combined.
Apparently, Godd, you need to be saying some more negative shit about Jason Blake.
Did this Gandhi fellow coach in the ECHL? Did he know John Brophy?
Gandhi was the boarding instructor for the Hampton Roads Admirals, yeah. Guy was great at drawing penalties back in the day, too.
As for Blake, stay tuned.
