Mmmmmarlies…….
Last night we went to see the Marlies play at the Ricoh Coliseum. The Chicago Wolves were in town and the hockey was really good….the not so good part, Chicago won. I was surprised at the lack of attendance….it seemed odd, cheap beer, great arena, affordable seats…..what’s the problem? Must be true that this is just a ‘Leaf’s town’ and not a ‘hockey town’. Odd. The only part that sucked…..it was so friggin’ cold in the arena, I had to buy a fleece….A 74 DOLLAR FLEECE…..granted, it’s nice and will get worn. That was my solution to making it seem more like a Leaf game…..I just had to add a zero to the money I planned to spend.
Earlier today during the show, we spoke about a pensioner in London, England who was driving his neighbours nutty. He was playing a specific song super loud in the wee hours of the morning. He’s 61 and had to appear in court for his naughty-neighbourness. He’s been banned from playing loud music for three weeks. Enter the last name of the artist he was blaring and score some JN points.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Sam - totally agree with you….too bad there wasn’t more support behind the Marlies, especially considering more than half the team has been on the Leaf roster at one time or another this season. I’ve been to a few games at Ricoh - the price is right, and there isn’t a bad seat in the place. Leaf Nation should support their baby Leafs! I just hope the Marlies can come back in this series…..might be a little tough after the last one.
Thanks again for the extra points!

I just googled it and found the answer.
Thanks for the easy one.

Hi Sam,
While I did not hear you announce this on the radio, I found an article ( (artist initials VL) but it did not take any of my attempts.

Hey Richard, the initials are BS, not VL
Ta for the points Sam!

Hey Sam! I’d love to see the LEAF TEAM doing well, but let’s admit… Hockey is hockey, right? Let’s try harder next time… See ya!

I cannot figure this one out Sam.

Hi Sam. I was thinking that a great idea for your top 5 list this week would be “Top 5 things I’ve learned this week”. Here’s a couple to get you started. I’ve learned that……….
1. a centipede is a 100-legged bug
2. Someone I’ve known a long time thinks I’m a complete moron.
Enjoy the beautiful sunny weather this weekend, and try not to get stung by any bees (six- legged flying bugs).

Sam thanks for the Spring points.

sadly your right. Most but not all seem to only care about the leafs.
