Brophy on Leafs: Crabb’s of steel

Try as he might, Matt Frattin just couldn’t find a way to buy a goal in his first 11 games with the Toronto Maple Leafs this season.

With the exception, of course, of his shootout winner Oct. 19 against the Winnipeg Jets. Shootout goals do not count toward a player’s goal total, so technically Frattin is still looking for his first NHL goal.

Joey Crabb, on the other hand, is scoring at a Crosby-like pace. Crabb, who was summoned from the Toronto Marlies when Frattin was

When you go wine tasting--which is compulsory if you live in the San Francisco Bay Area--sometimes the very same wines don't taste the same at home.

Perhaps the winery has slipped you an old bottle containing new wine. Perhaps you're just a little more sober at home. But it could be all down to the music that happens to be playing.

It might sound odd. However, professor Adrian North of Herriot-Watt University in Scotland had
