Own Goals Addendum

The segue clip to the SportsCentre Top 10 caused the Toronto Sun to run the headline "Brian McKlutz." And yes, because it is the Toronto Sun, it was the headline on the front page of the newspaper. Because, y'know, the Maple Leafs are always more important than anything else that happens in the world. You can check out the cover here.

Additionally, if this Top 10 had been featured this season, this now-infamous Ryan O' Byrne own goal would no doubt have featured highly on the list:



The O'Byrne own goal sent the game to overtime, where the Canadiens lost. This are the same Canadiens who are battling to stay in playoff contention. And if they miss out on the playoffs by one point... well, O'Byrne might just become as big a goat in Montreal as Steve Smith is in Edmonton.

I realize that this is Marks Vancouver Canucks blog but I think this story has universal appeal...

The Greater Toronto Area has recently been swept up in 'Gerber-Mania' after Martin Gerbers surprisingly competent 2-1 win on Thursday, but even Torontonians have nothing on Martin Gerbers swiss fan club....

Not only is this legitimate, Martin Gerber actually ATTENDED. Yes, that's him in the pictures. Why the hell was there a 'western theme'? Why are they dancing? Why did he show up? Gerber truly is an international man of mystery...
