Boca Raton-Ladies and gentlemen, this is hot off the press. This news is so fresh that the paper it is inscribed on will set your hands ablaze. Brace yourselves. Breath in, find a place to sit, and drop all heavy machinery. Prepare to have your minds blown.
The Cold War is over.
In fact (insert melodramatic whisper here), it ended in 1991. (more…)
Toronto-The league’s twenty-first ranked offense has received an enormous boost. Ilya Kovalchuk is now a member of the New Jersey Devils. Defenseman Johnny Oduya, forward Niclas Bergfors, prospect Patrice Cormier, and a first round draft choice are heading to Atlanta. New Jersey also re-acquired depth defenseman Anssi Salmela in the transaction. (more…)
Toronto-The Calgary Flames have completed another transaction, sending struggling forward Olli Jokinen and fourth-liner Brandon Prust to the New York Rangers. In exchange, Calgary received underachieving wingers Ales Kotalik and Chris Higgins. (more…)
Toronto-The landscape of the Toronto Maple Leafs has changed dramatically. The Buds have added defenseman Dion Phaneuf and goaltender J.S. Giguere. For Phaneuf, Toronto traded D-man Ian White and forwards Matt Stajan, Niklas Hagman, and Jamal Mayers to the Calgary Flames.

Toronto-“Scandalous” pictures of Chicago Blackhawks forwards Patrick Kane, Kris Versteeg, and John Madden in a Vancouver limousine have surfaced on the Web. The trio appeared shirtless with an array of alcoholic beverages and a couple of unidentified young women. No additional description is needed.
If the morality police had a S.W.A.T. team, an all-out assault would have been executed. (more…)
Toronto-If you believe in the absurd 2012 phenomenon, watching another Toronto Maple Leafs game for a purpose aside from comedy would be fatuous. The club is in a position of insignificance. Sitting four points out of the league cellar (Carolina and Edmonton each have two games in hand), the Blue and White is set to be a laughing stock for years to come.
The probability of this season’s first round draft choice-which the Leafs dealt as part of the Phil Kessel transaction-being a top pick is high. Apathy is omnipresent. (more…)
Toronto-Summer is over. In many regions of North America, the leaves have begun changing colors, temperatures have dipped, and cold, snow-filled winter days seem imminent. With that comes hockey!
A couple of weeks ago, a family friend joked that every year, a team’s legions of supporters often remark that their favorite club is “younger and faster.” They may not be able to score, play defense, or have sufficient goaltending. Nonetheless, the youngness and fastness of the group ensures success.
So, with all teams being “younger and faster,” the prognostications below mean nothing. Everyone is on a level playing field.
Alright, let us dispense with the sarcasm! Here are Anabolic Stories’ much-anticipated predictions for the upcoming season. (more…)
