  • Maple Leafs Hot Stove:  This season winning means nothing.  In the words of Seinfeld, spite! At least that’s one reason you would want to win if your a Leaf fan, just to prevent the Bruins from getting a high draft pick.
  • Sen Say:  Some stats to highlight the situation.  Too bad I didn’t see the game because it sounds like the officiating was atrocious.

  • The Hockey News:  Is Blue the new Black?  Some of these new jerseys just seem so unimaginative.  Plus those Black jerseys looked pretty damn good.
