Leafs host Pens tonight

My Toronto Maple Leafs (27-27-9, 63 points) host the Pittsburgh Penguins (37-21-6) tonight at 5 p.m. MT on Versus. I had thought that the Leafs were about out of the playoff chase, but a strong February has restored some of my hope and brought the Leafs within 6 points of the 8th place Carolina Hurricanes. Goaltender James Reimer has been particularly solid of late. I'm excited about the possibility of the Maple Leafs making the playoffs and hope they are able to continue their strong play. I'll be checking out the Leafs tonight and you should too.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to everyone and I just have to say that I was happy to see TCU top Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl 21-19 to give further credence to the argument for a college football playoff. Who are we kidding? It needs to happen and soon. I also enjoyed taking in the Winter Classic between the Penguins and the Capitals and hope the NHL continues to hold the event. More to come in what will hopefully be a great year, not to mention a great year for blogging.
