I saw this article linked on Puck Daddy's Puck Headlines yesterday and gave it a click because I'd rather do anything than work. Hawks and Leafs Can Both Get What They Need. The premise of the article is really rather simple and made sense at the

"30 Thoughts" by the CBC's Elliotte Friedman is a blog post I genuinely look forward to on a weekly basis, much like Big Daddy Drew's Dick Joke Jambaroo. Friedman is a respectable and credible source, and in this week's column he writes:

Puck Drop: 7PM CBC The Empty Arena Tour 2010 makes its second stop in Florida. The Leafs and Lightning had a stink off that finally ended in OT when the Lightning won. The Panthers are without Nathan Horton who broke his leg and will be out up to six weeks.

"I’d like to use Jonas more," [Wilson] said. "But it’s tough with the schedule the way it is. I’m not going to kill the poor guy." - Ron Wilson [Jonas Gustavsson]’s the future of our goaltending as I see it right now

Terrible penalties sink the Leafs again. Tampa ties the game up late on the power play and then win the game in OT with 10 seconds left on a too many men on the ice call that didn't happen. Gustavsson stopped 29 of 32 including some big stops

1st intermission 1 2 3 Total Toronto Maple Leafs 0 0 Tampa Bay Lightning 0 0 Join the Game Thread The Leafs killed three penalties in the first period. Can you believe it? I'm not kidding. Here's your second period threat continue blabbing.

Puck Drop: 7PM TSN The Leafs play game three of their five game "Empty Arena Tour 2010" having gone 1-1 against Atlanta and Nashville. Oddly enough they lost to Atlanta and beat Nashville which if any of you thought would happen ahead of time you've been

If not for Pekka Rinne we would all be in much worse spirits. Rinne let in three laughers in the first ten minutes which took Nashville out of the game. Nashville would score one in the second and two in the third to tie it up after controlling play for

Puck Drop: 7PM TSN Toskala earned a second start tonight after shutting the door on Philadelphia. Toskala also played very well the last time we played Washington, I've said it a million times but Toskala likes to get your hopes up before stabbing you in the heart and

On what looked like a play the Leafs make ten times a night, skating into double coverage to start a lazy turnover, Tyler Bozak toe dragged through a Philly defender and put the puck top shelf on Michael Leighton to put the Leafs up 1-0 in the second. This would

Puck Drop: 7PM TSN Good news: Carl Gunnarsson is back and his return has sent Jeff Finger to the pressbox. Bad news: Vesa Toskala is in net. Philly is 8-1-1 in their last ten. Goaltender Michael Leighton, picked up off waivers, has a .923 SV% over that span. People were

After losing to Carolina on Tuesday the Leafs actually look worse than their 29th place record indicates. The power play stinks and the penalty kill is worse. Our goalies can't save anything and our forwards can't score. Brian Burke built this team and it's

Despite outshooting the Canes 40 - 18 the Leafs lose 4-2 after giving up an empty netter. The story of the night continues to be our inability to score and our atrocious special teams. The PK went 1/2 and the PP went 0/3. Jonas Gustavsson has allowed 13

Puck Drop: 7PM ET Sportsnet Ontario There's no secret that I hate the Carolina Hurricanes. I joke about their inbred fans and laugh when they suggest that the Hurricanes should be on Versus instead of Toronto despite the fact that tonight's game is radio only in
