Good news! There will be playoff hockey in Toronto this year.
In my latest Hockey54.com article, I'll explain why it's time to ignore the Leafs and follow the Marlies.
Enjoy!

The Locks of Stamkos
I've cranked up that rambling zamboni again. The targets: The NHL All-Star game, the AHL All-Star game, Tim Thomas and Steven Stamkos.
After reading it, you might fall in love with the locks of Stamkos.

AHL & CBC
The CBC announced it will broadcast ten American Hockey League matches during the upcoming 2010-11 season. All ten games will feature the four Canadian AHL clubs, as well as Binghamton (Ottawa) and Oklahoma City (Edmonton).
Perhaps my Hockey54.com article on the AHL inspired the deal (just kidding).
Regardless, this a smart move by the CBC.

Re. Karri Ramo
Goalie for goalie.
The Canadiens have sent Cedrick Desjardins - who spent most of his time in Hamilton - to Tampa Bay for Karri Ramo.
Desjardins, along with colleague Curtis Sanford, posted the lowest combined GAA in the AHL last season.
Ramo, who played for Omsk in the KHL, was sixth in GAA and was in a fourth-place tie for shutouts. His overall record in 44 games was 21-17-4. He also played 48 NHL games for Tampa from 2006-2009. Ramo's NHL record: 11-21-10.
Judging by the posts on Twitter, Habs fans aren't happy.
Hands up if you think Karri Ramo will be the next Georges Vezina!

Re. The Hamilton Bulldogs
The Bulldogs are the Canadiens' minor league affiliate. They had a really good season. But for some reason, no one in Hamilton seems to care.
So I asked the following question:
What's wrong with hockey fans in Hamilton?

Canada and the AHL
I've been thinking a lot about the American Hockey League. There's something romantic about it. Fortunately, I've been able to put my thoughts down on paper.
Enjoy.

Where Hockey Hits the Net
Add another one to the repertoire: HockeyBarn.com
HockeyBarn.com is a cross between Facebook, YouTube and Bleacher Report. It allows me to broaden my portfolio. TheGoodPoint allows me write features, while HockeyBarn allows me to write editorials. To me, it's a perfect mix.
Anyway, here's my debut column. Enjoy!

The Playoffs Still Exist In Toronto
Attention Toronto sports fans! You still have a team in the midst of a playoff run!
The Toronto Marlies have advanced to the second round of the AHL playoffs after defeating the San Antonio Rampage in seven games. The Marlies will now face the Syracuse Crunch for the North Division title and a chance to reach the semi-finals.
For some reason, game seven of the first-round series against San Antonio only attracted 1,982 fans to the Ricoh Coliseum. That arena can hold 7,907 people for hockey. Granted, there was a Raptors game. Still, it's disappointing and unacceptable.
There's no reason why the Marlies should be drawing low numbers at this point in time. They're the only Toronto-area team that is currently in the playoffs. No excuses, Toronto.
Game 1 - Friday, May 2, 7:30pm; Ricoh Coliseum
