Perhaps you missed the big news yesterday. Ya know the news about how Brian Burke snatched up the gravy known of Jussi Rynnäs from the clutches of the rest of the NHL. For the second year in a row the most sought after European goalie prospect has come home to roost in Toronto. How does he do it?

Also last night, both the Capitals and Bruins took 3-1 strangleholds on their first round series; so if you know any Habs or Sabres fans, but sure to remind them of their impending first round exits. We would all really appreciate that, thanks.

Also of note, be sure to use the rec button for good posts and comments. We might be bringing back the Burkies. We'll see.
