Vancouver - city of insanity

Two news stories came out of Vancouver in a very short time.  I'm sure you heard that the Vancouver Canuks lost to Boston in game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals and that riots ensued, but you might have missed the other news story: Vancouver home prices average $800,000.  Ok, why mention these both in one place?  Isn't the answer obvious?  No wonder there were riots in Vancouver. Anyone living in that kind of housing market is obviously insane and so why wouldn't they riot? I think Vancouver has become a haven for nutcases.  Clearly the Sedins need to get out of that kind of environment and should come play for Toronto.

Leafs?

So here we are, 33 games into the Toronto Maple Leafs 2010/2011 season.  After a (much) stronger start this year, how much better are they really doing? Let's take a look at the numbers as compared to last year:

Season	Points	Goals For	Goals Against
2009/10	31	97	116
2010/11	28	75	102

So it is not looking to promising again this year.  The only category they're better in is that they have let less goals in this year.  Sigh.  It sure is hard being a Leafs fan.

Sundin

500th goal in overtime, while down a man, as a hat trick, and his 365th goal as a leaf to tie for second place on the leafs all time goal scorers. This man truly is one of the greats in this game. Matts Sundin:
