SCOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!

The Leafs win in overtime. I realize that there is now way in HELL that they should have been in that position. You lead in points that early in the game, you should win it. They faded big time in the third period and that is just plain sad. Now matter how you look at it, it should have never gone into overtime. All other aspects aside, KABERLE scored the winning goal. Yahoo. I guess I did have something to say today after all.

Something New

Okay I guess its obvious that I have had nothing to say for awhile. Unusual for me I know. No funny jokes to tell, no pictures to post, NOTHING. So I am going to try something new. In the event that I find myself at a loss for words I will post a quote. Well not necessarily a quote but an interesting line from a song that I know (similar to what I post on my messanger, but here I have more room). I do know a lot of song but am not the first to know who is singing them. So if by any means I get something wrong please feel free to leave a comment. I am apologizing in advance for any incorrect information. The lines may not be earth shattering and they may not mean a lot to you but I find a connection with almost all of them and I do enjoy them. So here goes the first enjoy,

How was your weekend??




Friday and Saturday my daughter danced in her first competition for the year. Not really feeling like they were ready I was a little unsure of the out come. For jazz they were awarded a special judges ribbon for most promising and came in first place and received a mark of high silver. Saturday was tap, which they got first place again but scored gold. Not bad for the first competition.

Sunday morning the house was a buzz with activity. Today we headed to Cambridge to meet the one and only Darcy Tucker, my daughters favourite player. We waited in line for 2 and half hours along with 400 hundred people. It was so worth it to see the look on her face when he called her sweetie. My weekend was amazing how was yours?

Kaberle Back?


Injured Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Tomas Kaberle participated in his first full practice in two and a half weeks on Monday and could return to action against the New Jersey Devils Tuesday night.

The 29-year-old Kaberle, Toronto's best defenceman this season, has been sidelined with a concussion since suffering a late hit from Devils forward Cam Janssen on March 2.

The NHL slapped Janssen with a three-game suspension for his hit on Kaberle, although no penalty was assessed on the play by referees Kelly Sutherland and Brad Watson.

The Leafs will make a decision Tuesday morning on whether Kaberle will make his return later that evening when Toronto hosts New Jersey.

The Czech Republic blue-liner was non-committal about his possible return date.
"I'll be playing soon," said Kaberle, who is third on the team in scoring with 49 points. "The headaches are gone."

The Leafs have gone 3-3-1 in the seven games without their top blue-liner, who was paired with Wade Belak during Monday's practice.

"It's good to have him back on the ice," said coach Paul Maurice. "We need what he has to offer.
"Knowing that he's close is a good lift for our team."

Even if Kaberle plays, Janssen expects to receive a rude reception form Leafs fans Tuesday night.

"You can't let it get to you," Janssen told the Newark Star Ledger over the weekend. "This is going to happen my whole career. I just have to deal with it and play my game."

Bad Sylvester!!


Sylvester Stallone has been charged with illegally taking a performance enhancing drug into Australia.

The 'Rocky' star was not present when he received the charge of importing a banned substance in a Sydney court today (13.03.07).
The case was adjourned until April 24 when the 60-year-old's legal representatives will be asked to enter a plea.

Stallone and his entourage were stopped at Sydney airport on February 16 when they flew in to promote his latest film 'Rocky Balboa'.

Members of the party were found to be carrying vials of muscle enhancing Human Growth Hormone which was seized by authorities.

Human Growth Hormone can't be imported to Australia without a permit from the Therapeutic Goods Administration.
The actor's hotel room and private jet were searched on February 19, before he was permitted to leave the country.

The maximum penalty for illegally importing the growth hormone into Australia is a fine of $100,000 and five years in prison.
The 'Rambo' star is unlikely to face the maximum penalty, but could receive a heavy fine.

Enough Already

A reminder to some that this Sunday is daylight savings time which means spring is around the corner, or so it used to. How honestly can this event be moved? Who does that? Now all it means is that it is cold and we lose an hours sleep, in short that means people (me included) are going to be crabby, or as I like to call it B-I-T-C-H-Y. Just to make you all aware I have held the title of Queen b*tch for the past week. I think I have been rude to or have told off every person that I know. I hold this crown because I did this in person, over the phone, via e-mail and also via text message. But who can blame me, this weather is not helping. I am not one to complain about the temperature but it is cold. I WANT SUMMER, even thought the looming thought of my arse in shorts scares me, and the thought of a bathing suit makes me want to hurl. All I want is to sit in my backyard on my lounger, with the sun shining and a book in one hand and a cold Bud in the other, is that too much to ask? Will this ever happen again? Here is a picture from our trip to the beach last summer to bring happy thoughts to everyone.

Tribute from Yummy!!


Welcome to another edition from my YUMMY file. Today is a special tribute to my favourite Maple Leaf, #15 Tomas Kaberle who was taken out of yesterdays game with a hit by Cam Janssen. Kaberle was knocked unconscious after being knocked down and heading head first into the boards during the second period. The Leafs took the game in the 5th round of the shoot out with a total of 4-3 over the New Jersey Devils. Cam Janssen was suspended for 3 games, Yeah.


Unfortunately the leafs lost tonight against the Buffalo Sabres.


YUMMY!!!!!

Go Leafs, Go
