A blog you should try.

If you’re not reading Down Goes Brown, you really should start. Besides watching Nik Hagman for signs of being traded back to the Stars, I have no interest in the Maple Leafs (sic). Still, this guy makes them fascinating.
Here, he lets us in on some Brian Burke conversations at the Draft.

Burke: Hey Joe, [...]

Let’s see what we got here.

Once again, Mike Heika tells us everything we need to know. One of the reasons I don’t get into out-and-out news on this blog is because it will always pale in comparison to Mike Heika’s work. I hope he never leaves us.

The greatest trophy in all of sports.

The Stanley Cup is probably the most revered trophy in sports. It’s the most difficult to win, and it’s the ultimate dream of every kid that ever played hockey in his driveway. And every kid that ever played hockey in his driveway was playing in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals.
That’s what [...]
