We've achieved full summer lull mode. The only Leaf news of the past few days have been the 3,000 articles on James van Reimsdyk playing center, which will probably last about a period. But I guess sportswriters have to eat, ya know? Anywhoo, the only real news of the past 24 hours was that of the NHL's first proposal to the PA regarding the new CBA. Like the JvR news, it will be over analyzed to an extreme (You can't blame anyone; we're all starving for news). The links below are my contribution:
