Draft lottery live chat
Can I watch the Maple Leafs lose the lottery three times to drop down to #4 without swearing on a major media property? Let's find out!
I'll be hosting a live chat on Sportsnet for tonight's draft lottery. We'll start around 6 ET and go for about three hours. In the meantime, you can submit comments or questions in advance by visiting the page and clicking the "comment" link.

Black Friday live blog
The NHL has a packed schedule today, and since everyone else who works for ESPN is American and has the day off, I decided to take over their hockey site with a live blog. I'll be updating throughout the day. Drop by, and feel free to jump into the comments section, since I'm guessing I'll need the backup.

Live blogging the Battle of Ontario
I'll be liveblogging tonight's game between the Leafs and Senators over at TheScore.com. Join me, won't you?
Please feel free to jump in, as we discover the answer to questions such as:
- With Jonas Gustavsson getting the start, will the Senators concede the game prior to introductions or wait until the opening faceoff?
- Just how depressed will I get when the Monster gives up the opening goal on a 50-foot floater 30 seconds in?
- Will Chris Neil get his face caved in by:
a.) Colton Orr
b.) Jay Rosehill
c.) Colton Orr and Jay Rosehill; or
d.) nobody because this will be one of those games where he mysteriously decides his job is to be an "agitator" instead. - Will Mikhail Grabovski and Jason Spezza finally play a full shift together and create the fabled Perpetual Neutral Zone Turnover Machine?
- Wasn't all of this way more fun when Pat Quinn was still alive?
After all, you know how much I love the Battle of Ontario...

Liveblogging tonight
Three quick hits, before I go put my head back in the oven after last night's performance...
- I'll be liveblogging tonight's Leafs/Habs game over at TheScore.com. Feel free to drop by and join in the fun. Word is the Leafs will be switching goalies before every faceoff tonight, and may even try a few goalie changes on the fly. Should be fun.
- I had somebody contact me today to ask if I minded when they post links to DGB content in forums. Not only do I not mind, but you're doing me a huge favor by helping to expose the site to people who may not know about it. In fact, I have no objection if you post full cut-and-paste versions of anything I post, as long as there's a credit and link somewhere. I know some forums discourage that, so if the mod gives you crap just point them back to this post.
- Finally, a quick thanks to everyone for helping DGB to its highest traffic numbers ever in March, doubling the previous record. For a great discussion of why traffic to Leafs blogs is skyrocketing at the same moment that traditional media claim fan interest is dropping, visit Sporting Madness

Liveblogging tonight's Devils/Leafs game
Just a note that I'll be liveblogging tonight's game over at thescore.com.
Why is this important? Well, consider this:
Leafs average goals/game when I liveblog at thescore.com: 6.00
Leafs average goals/game, all other games this season: 2.93
Now if I understand statistical probabilities, and I think I do, that means the Leafs are absolutely guaranteed to light up Martin Brodeur tonight. The only question remaining is whether they'll also spray snow in his face.
Feel free to drop by tonight at 7:30 to discuss the game, the deadline, or anything else:

And don't forget about tomorrow's Trade Deadline liveblog, which will kick off shortly after 8:00 a.m.

Live-blogging Leafs vs. Avs
I will be live-blogging tonight's Leafs/Avs game over at thescore.com. Feel free to drop by whenever the PPP game thread freezes, and find out how many Raycroft saves and/or shots of tequila it will take before I snap and get myself fired.
TheScore.com live blog - Avs vs. Leafs
(Fair warning: if the game is dull, I plan to randomly start liveblogging games from the Leafs 1993 playoff run instead.)
