And Now, For Something Serious.

Most of you know that I am a diehard Leafs fan. Many of you may not know that the Leafs family lost someone this week. Brendan Burke, son of Leafs GM Brian Burke, died this week. Some of you might know a little about Brendan’s remarkable story; others may not. No matter what you may or may not know about it, I ask that each and every one of you that reads this take a moment to read this wonderful piece by my good friend Wrap Around Curl. Do yourself a favor and take the five minutes to read it.

Thanks.

Breaking news: Blunden has been recalled

From Twitter: CBJ has recalled Mike Blunden on an emergency basis to replace LW Fredrik Modin (bruised foot).

Well, kids, we’ve been pretty lucky till now with these call ups, to be honest. Can the Crunch keep the momentum going despite missing firecracker Blunden? I sure as hell hope so.

In case you missed it…

…we won tonight! By a very convincing score of 4-1. The Crunch now have their first 5 game winning streak of the season. I decided to have a life outside of this place for once and went out. I had some much-needed fun, but did anyone out there see/listen to the game? What can you tell us?

There’s hockey this weekend!

The excitement of last night can only last so long. It’ll be over probably about 7:05 tomorrow night, down in the small burb of WBS. Can the Crunch embrace their current momentum and make it 5, maybe even 6, wins in a row? There’s no rest for the wicked, boys and girls! Read more »

Crunch @ Rats, 2/3

No Jewel of the Game tonight, because there was no Joe Brown! Andrew what’s-his-face did a pretty good job. His play-by-play was much easier to follow and he actually appeared to know what was going on. We liked you, Andrew! Come back again!

Anyway, onto the actual hockey game. Lucky for us, the Crunch was pretty damn good tonight, too! Crunch won it, 5-3, to make four wins in a row again.

Some observances from the game tonight:

Ding dong the Hitch is dead

Okay, he’s not really dead, but “Hitch” rhymed with “witch” so surely you can see where I’m going with this.

Um…anyway…onto the news!

In case you didn’t hear, the Columbus Blue Jackets have taken a stand and fired head coach Ken Hitchcock. Initial reports are that this probably won’t affect the Crunch at all. This news is, of course, begging for a poll!

More on this after the jump. Don’t ask why I had to do this over.

Crunch win 5-1 against Bingo

It’s always good when the Crunch win, of course. But I’m a careful optimist. Yes, the Crunch won. Yes, they scored some really pretty goals–Radja’s second one was a thing of beauty. Mirasty’s fight was great. And yes, it was fun tromping all over Bingo.

But what does it mean in terms of turning this season around?
