Dapper fam — it’s been way too long — which is completely my fault.  Working 2 jobs and being a fulltime student is getting a little hectic, but just to update you — Dan and Graham and I sat down a few weeks ago for some prelim TASIII planning.  So artists, be on the lookout...

What I Want for a Maple Leafs Christmas

  Happy Holidays to you all! Exams are finally finished for the term, work has finally hit a break, and Christmas shopping is completed. Being Christmas Eve as I write this, I can’t help but think of what the Maple Leafs would ask Santa (or Brian Burke) for this Christmas. Here’s what I came up...

The Tim Connolly Conspiracy

The Tim Connolly Conspiracy

It has been a painful last two weeks. It all started when Tim Connolly (the man made of glass) became injured for the second time this season. This player is notorious for not being able to play a full NHL season, due to the fact that he’s so soft. While the Leafs could get over...

Kevin Pangos – 33 Points (9 Three Pointers) Vs Washington State

This is a kid that I literally watched grow up at Olympia Sports Camp during my summers as a preteen/teenager.  His father and mine have known each other for years. Kevin is in his first year at Gonzaga. This shit is unreal.
