I Have Failed You
Jul 28th
Since early June, Leafs HQ has not fallen below 2000 unique website visitors per day. After a couple weeks of continued success me and Jeff sort of set a goal quietly amongst ourselves that we would try to hit 2000 at the minimum every day until humanly possible. Well folks, in a surprising turn of events, after being featured on Pension Plan Puppet’s FTB and everything, we only managed 1960 views today. It was a shocker. Jeff is out, busy getting important footage for…something…and I suppose he left me in charge. Unfortunately I was playing Bioshock 2 and didn’t notice we only had about 1850 views by 11:30. I did everything I could in the last half hour to save ourselves, but we only managed 1960 views. From now on, 1960 is our new 1967, our new 0-7-1. It is a reminder that we have to work for every view, that we have to give our blood sweat and tears into reaching this goal.
It truly is a grim day in Leafs HQ history.

Kaberle traded for State of Minnesota
Jun 25th
Tomas Kaberle, the only player on the Toronto Maple Leafs with more than two years spent playing for the team, has been traded to the United States of America for the entire State of Minnesota.
Kaberle, along with throw-in and Toronto Marlies team Captain Ben Ondrus, are heading to the North American nation in exchange for Minnesota, the thirty second state in the United States Union. The twelfth largest by area, and twenty first by population, Minnesota is most well known to Canadians for being a border state of Manitoba and Ontario, and for their hockey teams – the Minnesota North Stars of 1967 to 1993, and the Wild of 2001 to present.
’67: The Maple Leafs, Their Sensational Season, and the end of an Empire
Jun 19th
If anything ’67 – The Maple Leafs, their Sensational Victory and the end of an Empire provides readers with ample proof that dysfunction in the upper reaches of Maple Leafs management extends beyond just the current boardroom on Front Street. Even before Harold Ballard took over as majority owner, and the name Smythe still reverberated at Maple Leafs Garden, the Leafs were a team in turmoil, both on and off the ice.
