as much as i would love to blast youtube tunes on my headphones all night (or my earbuds, to be precise), the little one is fast asleep on the couch behind me. hence the need for volume control. the kid has been struggling with a cough and fever for a few days now, so i have to keep at least one ear on her breathing habits. meanwhile i haven't eaten a single thing since sundown in anticipation of my wife's imminent arrival from a family christmas party. she and my eldest left home around six-ish and promised to return with ayaka (a traditional venezuelan dish) firmly in tow. speaking of seven, i just caught a glimpse of the latest version of her "no boys allowed" poster affixed to her bedroom door. this edition features several furious declarations of "girls rule!" as well as multiple images of angelic belles alongside demonic laddies. um, i guess that's a good thing, right? otherwise, the house is so chilly that i can practically see my breath every time i exhale. but i'm afraid that if i turn on the heat, i may inadvertently wake my youngest from her silent slumber. you see, the furnace in our unit isn't exactly a hybrid model -- in other words, it tends to rumble quite a bit upon startup. elsewhere, tonight's leafs game was, remarkably, yet another dud. and if you're old enough to remember the so-called "golden years" of '93 and '94, the team's recent ineptitude is almost impossible to forgive... or forget. all in all though, the kid looks pretty comfortable all rolled up over there on the sofa.
ok, so i wasn't exactly blasting this one

Hahahaha... about that leafs game, you can't fault our net minder. The Monster held the fort for majority of the game. They just caught a few unlucky breaks that ended with the puck in our net. Our D played well with minimal turnovers and effective offensive support. On the other hand, our major downfall was our inability to put the puck in the opposing net. Grabby continued his hot streak by tapping in his sixth goal in only a matter of seven games… and Kessel looked sharp in the first period but unraveled after the first intermission. Credit Luongo for making a few key saves in the dying minutes of the third period just before Sedin for put the icing on the cake by hitting the empty net to inevitably guarantee the win. Now, for all those other hardcore leafs fans like myself, we can only look forward in hopes of making the post season. With only 50 games remaining in this season, the leafs have an insurmountable task in front of them if they plan on breaking their playoff slump. And who is there to blame? Ron Wilson tried to mix up the lines tonight. Sent Kadri down to the minors and brought up Rosehill to increase the physicality of the team (which sadly had no effect in the game). Can you put the blame on Brain Burke? He has acknowledged that the leafs have a lot of work to do in order to make the playoffs. With Giggy’s injury continuing to set back the leafs, the Monster has to step up in order for the leafs to break out of their losing ways. I’m staying optimistic about the leafs. We have plenty of games in hand to surpass the teams head of us. As long as injuries and a certain special someone doesn’t interfere with the leafs, I’m sure that they will pick it up and clinch a playoff spot. I guess it is only a matter of waiting and watching. The leafs tackle the Thrashers on Monday. Let’s all hope for the best. =)
