I want Matt Stajan to glide in on a unicorn and score a hat trick and to possibly deliver puppies to sick children. I want Luke Schenn to hit a Capital so hard, that there is a pinata-like explosion. And I want somehow use the beauty and magnificence of Viktor Stalberg to create peace in the Middle East. I just wish I could bake hockey cupcakes for you all. What do you want?

Tonight the Truculent Maple Leafs will take on the Washington Capitals. I know right? They are such a skeeze. Whatever. I really hope Jonas Gustavsson is in net. Monster is flawless. I heard he does car commercials. IN JAPAN. I saw him wearing army pants and flip flops so I went out and bought army pants and flip flops. One time, he met John Stamos on a plane. And he told him he was pretty!

Who here has personally felt victimized by Alexander Ovechkin?
