Been too long since my last post

Anyways, I just happened to watch the Leafs pepper the Tampa Bay Lightning with shots. Overall a good effort, and in fact the Leafs lost to Lecavlier rather than to Tampa.

39 Shots, and simply out working the opposition is one way to win games, all they need is a goal scoring superstar to get them close to that 8th spot and into the playoffs. Or they can trade away their best players, and try and get Tavares to be that goal scoring superstar next year.

Reasons for my lack of sports blogging.

Politics and doing some courses unfortunately took over my life for most of 2007 and 2008, but I will have more time to write now. The quality of sports writing in general and the high quality and irreverence with which some sports blogs have been written has made me realize that this could be a lot more fun then complaining about Federal Politics.

The NHL has an exciting season, and we get to see which team will be the next one to go bankrupt due to the financial crisis, and how much the salary cap will down thanks to the financial crisis. Most of my hockey focus will be on the fortunes of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

It will be an interesting season, as we are only 12 games in to see how they handle the pressure. The team is already playing better and working harder than last season, but can this last. Can Ron Wilson will them to a playoff spot, can he just make sure they get a mid level draft pick rather than a shot at the next one, John Tavares.

So for the near future Jamie on Sports is back, and will be as honest and irreverent as ever, without the sports journalism cliches.
