            The WC, What a Joke
                If you know me, then you know that I believe the World Championships are a complete joke of a hockey tournament. Beyond the obvious reasons such as jerseys and gear covered in ad stickers, rosters that would make an AHL team laugh (Tim Stapleton on Team USA?), and the fact

Leafs at the World Championships - Chemmy over at The Leafs Nation
Carl Gunnarsson has no points but is a +3 for Sweden, and Mike Brown (shown helping Yan Stastny score) is a +1 for the USA team that may or may not have killed Osama Bin Laden. Germany&              
            
            
        PPP Playoff Prognostication Pool Pick 'Em - Round #2
                So the Conference Quarter Finals are behind us and the Conference Semis before us. But before we get to those, let's see how the PPP faithful did in Round #1.
Atop the leader with a whopping 21 out of a possible 24 points is Grabovski's better

                Not a lot in the way of Leafs news, so instead I take you back to your childhood with Twitter "Yo Momma" jokes:

                Well the numbers are in for Round #1 of the PPP Playoff Prognostication Poll, and with 272 entries (Only 2 of which are joke accounts created by Chemmy) it's pretty clear who are the favorites in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

                The Toronto Maple Leafs have left their fans without a rooting interest past the middle of April for the 5th Spring in a row. The league kicked in one more Spring possibly as part of some sort of promotion. Anyway, we here at PPP Amalgamated Heavy Industries, Kitten Ranch, Pug

                So the big news from yesterday was the end of the year presser given by Brian Burke on the state of the Maple Leafs. Most of the articles linked today cover it. Here's Mirtle's take on it:

                Welp, the Leafs have been officially, mathematically, for realsies eliminated from playoff contention.

        Hot but not Hot Enough
                Over the last 10 games, the Leafs have been one of the hottest teams in the league. Unfortunately so have the three teams the Leafs have been chasing in the East.

        Four Things to do in the Last Four Games
                Last night the Leafs got it done by repeatedly coming back against the Boston Bruins to force OT and later a shootout where Nazem Kadri did what he does best, besting Tim Thomas with a sick shootout move. This moves the Leafs up to 82 points on the season with
