Your usual FTB writers are off gallivanting around the countryside (or whatever it is they do when not being forced to do PPP's slave labor) and so it comes down to me. I don't have any of your links so post them in the comments and

7PM: Leafs TV James Reimer vs. Brian Boucher This'll be a quick preview. The Flyers are without Chris Pronger tonight. He's listed DTD with an upper body injury. Enjoy some reading material: * Pronger Out with Upper Body Injury - Broad Street Hockey * Leafs Lineup - Jonas

7PM ET: SNET-O James Reimer vs. Al Montoya On Saturday night we fell off the horse. Tonight we're getting back on. The Islanders have been playing well lately (likely bolstered by excellent goaltending if that sounds familiar to you) and are only seven points behind the Leafs. A

7PM ET: SNET-O James Reimer vs. Sergei Bobrovsky "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" - Confucius Deep down I think Leafs fans knew last night's game was winnable. Pittsburgh's a very good team but without Malkin and without Crosby

7PM ET: TSN James Reimer vs. Marc-Andre Fleury Quick preview for tonight, been busy all day. James Reimer is coming back from whiplash in the Atlanta game to face the Penguins. Reimer gave up 5 goals on 40 shots and lost the shootout Saturday night to the Penguins. The Leafs

The Leafs were quiet today, only trading minor leaguer John Mitchell for a 7th, but weren't quiet in days leading up to the trade deadline. "I think people know this, we try to get out in front of the trade deadline," Burke said. "I think

Since the lockout the Canadiens haven't beaten the Leafs in a season series since 2005-2006. The Leafs have earned 51 points to Montreal's 45 in common games. With their regulation loss last night the Habs can at best tie this season series. Thought we "wouldn&

James Reimer owns. Phil Kessel owns. Clarke MacArthur owns. We almost got goalied twice in a row by lottery teams. Phew.

7PM: Leafs TV James Reimer vs. Al Montoya "Things are never as bad as they seem, or as good" The Islanders have won six of their last seven games averaging five goals per game over that span. The Leafs are 6-2-2 (.700 PTS%) in their last ten games.

7PM: CBC, NHL-N (US) James Reimer vs. Craig Anderson The Sens have been selling off middling assets like Mike Fisher, Chris Kelly and Jarkko Ruutu while Toronto has moved out Tomas Kaberle, Francois Beauchemin and Kris Versteeg. The Senators moved Brian Elliott to Colorado for tonight's starter Craig

Joe Colborne is 6'5" Canadian center. He played two years at Denver in the WCHA with Tyler Bozak and Tyler Ruegsegger. He's had a tough year in the AHL so far but let's look at his other numbers: Age Season Team League GP

Colborne, Boston's 1st in 2011 and a conditional pick for Kaberle the basis of the trade. Trade call still has to be made to close the deal. - Darren Dreger The end of an era. Let's say goodbye to a player that wanted to stay but

There is little rational explanation, however, for the Bruins’ 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs last night before 17,565 at TD Garden. - Boston.com I think "The Leafs scored more than the Bruins" is a fairly rational explanation actually, but if you want to get down

7PM ET: Sportsnet Ontario James Reimer vs. Tim Thomas I think we're all a little cranky because of the Versteeg trade so I won't mention that the only time the Leafs beat the Bruins this year it was his goal that forced OT. Oops. We know

7:00PM ET: TSN James Reimer vs. Johan Hedberg It's finally here Leafs fans: the debut of Joffrey Lupul. I know you woke up this morning in your Leafs underoos just quivering in anticipation of seeing a guy like Lupul trip the light fantastic. Well it's

Francois Beauchemin was acquired July 6th 2009 for cash. Today Brian Burke pulled the trigger and moved the Leafs' #1 minute eater for Joffrey Lupul, a conditional pick and Jake Gardiner. Forget Lupul, a toss in to make the salary work, what the Leafs have done is convert a

7PM ET: Sportsnet Ontario James Reimer vs. Kevin Poulin The Islanders should have goaltender woes. Rick DiPietro is out indefinitely with "lost a fight badly" and Evgeni Nabokov is suspended without pay for not liking the waiver system. Leaf killer Dwayne Roloson has been moved to Tampa Bay

7:00PM ET: Sportsnet Ontario Jean-Sebastien Giguere vs Ondrej Pavelec Ignoring the Buffalo debacle which shall not be discussed and including tonight's game agaonst Atlanta the Leafs will have played six of their last seven games against the Southeast division. Toronto's last outing in Atlanta went

Jonas Gustavsson has been cleared for a conditioning stint with the AHL's Toronto Marlies. Per the CBA he can stay down for two weeks without having to clear waivers. Gustavsson showed flashes of brilliance his rookie year but his sophomore campaign has been well below expectations. Gustavsson'

7PM ET: TSN, RDS James Reimer vs. Cam Ward First I'd like to say that this image is hilarious and I couldn't avoid using it. In no way do I or the rest of our editorial staff condone dog fighting unless they're wearing adorably

Burke has extended Mike Brown for three years. We don't know salary yet but probably will in a few hours. This is an odd move: at even strength Mike Brown appears to be one of the worst players on the Leafs with a -7 scoring chance differential per

7PM: Sportsnet Ontario Jean-Sebastien Giguere vs. Scott Clemmensen The Leafs played Washington, Carolina and Tampa before Phil Kessel headed to Raleigh for the All Star Break. Now the season resumes and the Leafs play Florida and Carolina again to ensure that after two weeks we've all run out

7:30 ET: TSN James Reimer vs. Dwayne Roloson The Leafs have lost two in a row to the Southeast division's henchmen and now head to Tampa to face their leader. Gulp. Good news though, per Jonas Siegel it seems that while "surprised" by the punch

The Leafs take on a team with a lot more points in Carolina tonight; hopefully they're getting ready for the All Star Game and looking past our boys. This is your game day open thread.
