Idea

When somebody gets a hat trick in the game (probably Tom first) we should do something as a team.  As you know, when somebody gets a hat trick, hats are thrown.  Now, how bout instead of throwing hats, we should throw tacos, since we are the smelly tacos.  Now, if we want to be really technical, we should buy tacos from taco bell, leave them in a hot place for a week, and come game time we throw these “smelly tacos” when tom scores a hat trick, since we are the smelly tacos.  Or we just throw smelly tacos just for the hell of it.  Detroit has the octopus thingy. Flordia had the rat thingy, how come we cant have the throw the smelly taco thingy.

Week 2: Smelly Taco’s 11, Dukes 10

We had a tough first period, but Fergie-Fer kept us in the game as the Smelly Taco’s extended their winning streak to 2 games.  Practicing on Thursdays are turning out to be a good thing.  Next week, I’ll try and get us some game photos.

Game 3: Sunday, February 3rd @ 1:30 pm vs. Buck Knuckles (2-0) in the Gardens.

Red Bull Crashed Ice 2008

Here’s something different, and you can watch it live from Quebec this Saturday, January 26th on TSN starting at 9:00 pm/est.   Basically it’s a downhill race on ice.  Saturday features 16 heats of 4 competitors.  The 2 fastest from those races advance on until there are only 4 remaining.  Total prize money is $10,000 which gets divided with the top 4 competitors with first place taking home $5000. 

It must be pretty popular too as Three Days Grace ends the night.

The joke continues!

Richard Peddie and Cliff Fletcher have both said over and over again that Cliff would have complete autonomy with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Now either Peddie is a psychic or one hell of a ventriloquist. watch the video at the 4:30 mark, keep and eye on Peddie’s lips and listen to Fletcher. Does this not remind anyone of when good ol’ JFJ was hired?

Fletch

From mapleleafs.com

The Toronto Maple Leafs announced Tuesday that John Ferguson’s contract as vice president and general manager, which expires June 30, 2008, will not be extended. As a result, he has been relieved of his duties effective immediately. Cliff Fletcher, who served with the Leafs as team president, chief operating officer and general manager between 1991 and 1997, has been appointed to serve as interim general manager.

“After full consideration of the Leafs’ situation, it has become clear that change and a new direction is needed. The decision has been made that John will not be receiving a new contract at the end of this year, and it’s in the best interests of the Leafs and of John to begin the transition immediately,” said Richard Peddie, president and chief executive officer of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Ltd. “John has been given the opportunity and the resources he requested to deliver results from the strategic plans that he put in place when he was named general manager in 2003, and while the new collective bargaining agreement required some re-shaping of those plans, the results have fallen short of what our organization, including John, and our fans expect.

“We will always be grateful to John for his passion, dedication and commitment to putting a winning team on the ice. He’s a man of the highest integrity, who withstood often unfair public criticism with dignity and class. He represented our organization and our community in a first class manner. We wish him well in what we expect will be a long and productive hockey career.”

Ferguson became the 12th general manager in Leafs franchise history on August 29, 2003, and during his tenure the club reached at least 90 points and 40 wins in each of the three seasons played. Toronto has a combined record of 145 wins, 110 losses, 10 ties, 13 overtime losses, and 17 shootout losses for a .559 points percentage.

Fletcher, who was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in the Builder category in 2004, brings more than 50 years of experience to his new role with the Leafs.

“Cliff Fletcher is the ideal person to lay the groundwork of positive change for the Leafs,” said Peddie. “As all of our general managers have had, he will have the autonomy and responsibility for all hockey decisions with a focus on establishing a foundation from which the next general manager can build. He will guide us through the upcoming trade deadline and toward the draft and free agent signing period.”

Week 1: Smelly Taco’s 16, Mauraders 5

Well, the new season is upon us at Mainway.  The once Corn-Studded Mud Logs, Nighthawks and now Smelly Taco’s kicked off game 1 of their winter season with and impressive 16-5 win over the newly formed Mauraders.  With about 3 wins combined in our first 2 seasons, what a better way to start off this season.  Sure, we’re in a lower division now, but doesn’t it feel good to win?

Game 2: Sunday, January 27th @ 2:30 pm vs. The Dukes (1-0) in the Forum
