The Toronto Traveler

The Leafs have been lackluster, even by the low standards we Toronto fans already have of the team.  It is quite interesting how a fan base can expect their team to win every game, yet be so expectant of failure at the same time and I’m not sure any other fan base is as good at contradicting itself as the Leafs fan base is.
But, that aside, the Toronto Maple Leafs are set to play the Pittsburgh Penguins saturday evening at the Air Canada Centre.  Pittsburgh is one of the most exciting teams in the league to watch because of players …read more

Well, just before I get to the event I want to talk about, I’d just like to apologize to all TTT readers for the videos that I posted over the last two days not working.  I figured I could just set and forget while I worked on my assignments and so I didn’t notice until just now when I logged in to look at them that none of them had posted properly.  I’m not really sure what’s up with that since I copied and pasted the embed code from YouTube, so if one of the other bloggers who have posted …read more

This picture, plucked from the Wikimedia Commons, shows a nice view of downtown Toronto at night from the CN Tower.  It also represents the end of this section of media that I’ve been posting, as I’ll be returning to normal posts tomorrow.

Here’s another Blue Jays commercial in the same spirit as the one I posted yesterday.  This one, however, involves ace pitcher Roy Halladay.

Here’s another video that I really love.  It’s a commercial that was run last season for the Blue Jays and features their newest signing at the time, Frank Thomas.
Enjoy!

I’m a bit pressed for time at the moment due to some assignments I have due today and tomorrow, but I wanted to keep my posting schedule regular so I decided to cheat a bit and share a couple of videos with you today.  The first one is below and is just a simple overview of the City of Toronto, which I pulled off YouTube.  Let me know what you think!

The Toronto Maple Leafs, recently on a streak of futility having lost their last three games after an excellent 3-0 win against the Ottawa Senators, are going to be hosting the Montreal Canadiens this evening at the Air Canada Centre.  Toronto has played reasonably well this year against the Habs with a 2-0-1 record against their historical rivals.  This game could be the chance the Leafs have to halt this losing streak here and do what they can to pick up the pieces of their season and try to get themselves back to within striking distance of a playoff spot …read more

While it is not exactly the Official Christmas tree, this tree from past years within the Eaton’s Centre does a very good job of approximating what the tree looks like.  This year’s tree is sponsored by the Bay and stands a full 50 feet tall.  It was created by a Canadian named Brian Gluckstein, who you might remember as being a designer of some renown both here in Toronto and across the continent.  It was designed under a “sparkling” theme and as a result includes a lot of reflective colours in great quantities; gold, silver and white feature prominently within …read more

Now that snowfall is occuring here in Toronto and the weather is getting reasonably cold (although we haven’t had snow fall since the first snowfall earlier last week), the famous ice rink in Nathan Phillips Square in front of city hall is open for business once again.  This is an ice rink that I remember going to and skating on year after year when I was a kid and on any given day you’ll see Torontonians having a great time with friends and family as they skate around the partially natural, partially man-made ice rink that covers the square during …read more
