    A Happy 2009 To All-

    toronto maple leafs hockey December 31, 2008 11:59 pm no comments

    May All Our Draft Picks Be First Rounders, and each of those turn to be Franchise Players. May Our Team treat us as we have treated them May Our Media get off their asses and do their jobs (at least those who usually don’t) May each of you and your [...]

    What an amazing game. This was one worth watching again. I hope these two teams meet in the finals. Kudos to Pat Quinn for keeping the kids focused when they were down 3-0. Ohhh and Burke, if you were watching, get us the #1 pick. No untouchables, throw the bodies [...]

     
  • On Trading Sean Avery

    toronto maple leafs hockey December 31, 2008 1:27 pm 6 comments

    Spoke to Neil Smith this am about this, from a logistics perspective only. So the Stars could waive Avery, he would clear. They would then recall him. Assuming the Leafs were able to get him on a claim, his salary would go down to about 2 million. The Leafs would [...]

     
  • Cujo’s Last Stand

    toronto maple leafs hockey December 31, 2008 9:47 am 2 comments

    Richard Griffin, the Star’s baseball guru writes a nice piece on the Leafs game last night and echos many of the same thoughts about the meaning of Cujo’s sudden appointment to starting goalie (at least for 2 games): “So, eight days later, same opponent, same need to rest Toskala, why [...]

     
  • Gagne out in Philly Cue the Antropov Rumors

    toronto maple leafs hockey December 31, 2008 2:52 am 2 comments

    Gagne was driven hard into the boards by defenseman Kevin Bieksa and didn’t return after being diagnosed with an undisclosed upper body injury. Gagne, second to Carter on the Flyers with 40 points, left the ice favoring his left shoulder. He was limited to just 25 games last season due [...]

     
  • Wilbur’s Trade Proposal- Would You take Avery?

    toronto maple leafs hockey December 31, 2008 12:15 am 8 comments

    So Wilbur had an interesting thought tonight on his radio program. Trade Blake to Dallas for Avery and a second round pick. Wilbur also thought there was a way to do it through waiver so the buds would only have to pay Avery 2 million per. So Buds fans, would [...]

     
  • Congrats to Cujo

    toronto maple leafs hockey December 31, 2008 12:12 am 1 comment

    Hats off and a bow to Cujo…450 wins is a nice accomplishment. Good game for the buds, I was watching the game over at CP’s pad and you could tell the tying goal was coming. What a brutal call on the Finger penalty. Why did Siffers only play 5 minutes [...]

  • Message Abound In Leaf Camp

    toronto maple leafs hockey December 30, 2008 1:48 pm 4 comments

    So everywhere folks are looking for signs that the Leafs have a GM. Brian Burke seems to be as elusive as the current American Presidential tandem of George Bush and Dick Cheney. Seriously folks, is the Great Burke that hard to track down or are the Toronto Press lazier then [...]

     
  • The Answer to Burke’s Dilemma: Rule 66

    toronto maple leafs hockey December 30, 2008 12:08 pm no comments

    Everyone has written on the topic…especially our esteemed Toronto media who are lazy and write about it repeatedly (with no new info/angle)…..How do the Leafs win the Tavares sweepstakes (tank) while at the same time have their tradable assets play well enough to attract strong trade offers?  I do agree, [...]
