Remembrance Day. November 11th, 2009. Lest We Forget.
A Pittance of Time – Terry Kelly
^Very touching song. In celebration of Remembrance Day. In Flanders Fieldsby John McCrae, May 1915
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
The ever famous poem. Remembrance Day is almost here. I hope you all are grateful to be living today in Canada. I know I am.. especially since I’m Chinese and immigrated here. Ever since I studied about our veterans, I was emotionally touched. Ever Remembrance Day for the past 5 years had been very touching for me. I hope everyone will be wearing the ever-famous poppy. Lest we forget. However, don’t forget. Without our veterans, the Blue and White or maybe other Canadian teams wouldn’t have existed until now.
P.S So sorry about recently, not blogging. I fell into a depression with homework, amount of sleep and the Leafs. I ll try and be positive and blog here and Leafspace for the Black Hawks game. I have only had 3 hours of sleep for the past 3 days. Sorry.
P.P.S Follow me on Twitter, TMLeaf4Ever; same with Leafspace! 
LEST WE FORGET!

O I don't know.. I am 16 year old. However, I am a die hard Leafs fan ever since grade 4-5. I am able to write with perfect English if I really want to. As well, try to most of the time; just for you guys. However, don't complain if I don't. After all, it's not English class right? :P

On The Last Three Moves

As we all know, the Toronto Maple Leafs did a bit of tweaking to their roster in the past few days. Nothing of incredible significance, but at least the effort was made, with a hat trick of transactions occurring (a trade, a signing, and a resigning). Here’s my opinions on all three. Trade: Stefano Giliati

This topic truly has been beaten like everybody’s favourite dead horse, I agree. However, it’s hit some relevancy in the past few days. With Tomas Kaberle looking set to stay this year, the chances of us trading for a forward are becoming less and less likely. At the present, the Leafs have 2 million in

Its August. We’re still a month and a half away from seeing the Leafs playing hockey again, and even then, its two months and a bit until hockey that actually matters is played. Of course, we open the preseason against the Ottawa Senators, and the regular season against the Montreal Canadiens. These two teams are
A Hell Of A Two Days

So, as you may or may not have noticed, two things have happened Leafs related on Tuesday and Wednesday. There are many ways you could’ve noticed this fact. For one, you’d see that I was completely invisible on here for more than 24 hours, leading to pandemonium a slight drop in traffic. Secondarily, you’d see
My Five Outrageous Predictions

Well, its late July. Nobody’s signing contracts, and training camp hasn’t started yet. The fascination with rookie camp is at its low point until it begins its merger with training camp hype, and there are no decent players that are rumored to be on the market (like, legitimate rumors, not the “OMG GUY ISN’T SIGNED

I look at the Leafs roster for the upcoming season, and I cant help but feeling somewhat optimistic. I really do like what Brian Burke has done with the team so far with the addition of Versteeg, and Armstrong. But the reason I have optimism isn’t just those signings, it is the blueline that we
A Game Of Kovalchuk

As much as this isn’t directly related to the Leafs anymore, it still kind of is. Ilya Kovalchuk is a fantastic hockey player. Wait, let me rephrase that, Ilya Kovalchuk is a great offensive hockey player and a superstar goalscorer. In his 8 NHL seasons and 621 games played, the tallied 338 goals and 304

First off, I apologize that it took me so long to get to my 3rd article, just didn’t have that much time to write it properly, as I was out of town last weekend, and this week was quite the hectic week. Thank you for being patient! Now, you already know that the first two

Theoretically, I could be like every other blog there is regarding the Leafs right now, and talk about free agency, but other than this first paragraph my reasoning, I won’t. Straight up, the topic has been right now is akin to beating a dead horse, except the horse has already decayed and is now just

15* Players That People Should Stop Caring About

This is more of a personal tangent than anything, I’m not going to lie. This isn’t really something that goes in the media (though it kind of does), and it sure as heck isn’t happening in actually front office trade/signing discussions, but its a phenomenon that you definitely see throughout the internet, and that’s fan
