Those Nylander rumours are the reason that I have a Matthews Centennial Classic jersey in the closet, and not a Nylander jersey.  I was afraid of paying big bucks for a jersey of a guy who was gone by the big game.  With that said, a Matthews jersey is not a bad consolation prize.

Ha Ha Ha, reminds me of when the Jays had Dickie, Johnson and Wang in their rotation.

Glenn Healey was doing colour during the all star game this past weekend. Does anyone know if that means he's back working for Rogers/HNIC?  Or was this just a one-off? I was never a fan of Healey as a studio analyst. I always found him too pro-union, and anti-Leafs. I didn't mind him doing...

How does Kerry Fraser, a guy who never played a game in his life and who made an error that may have cost us a cup, get a thread, and Eddie Olczyk, a guy who played 4 years for the Leafs, and scored a point a game in those four years, doesn't even get a mention? Cancer sucks, and as much as I...

How many are left in camp? I'm heading to Buffalo to see the Bills Sunday.  We're catching tomorrow night's Leafs/Sabres game.  Am I safe in assuming that if a guy is in the lineup tonight (Matthews, Nylander), that I won't see him tomorrow?

Looking into it, I found a cool stat.  William wasn't the first Nylander to get 60+ points in under 1300 minutes.  Dad Michael did it in 2001-02 (although at a much older 29).

Does anyone know the story behind the different number on the one kid's jersey? It is, or starts with, 9.  It could be a Gilmour jersey, but he's too young to have seen Dougie play.  I doubt it's a Charlie Conacher jersey.  Glenn Anderson?  Was it just his jersey number?  That's the likely...

I see the Leafs losing Marincin.  When he got in the lineup, he was a valuable, dependable D-man.  At 25, he's still young, and ready to contribute.

So, who gets win number three first, the Leafs (2-1) or the Jays (2-11)?

I feel good about tonight's game.  The team showed they can keep up with the Capitals.  They shut down the threats, and ultimately got beat by their depth.  If they can shut down the scorers again, I think they can take game 2. 

Is that a guess, or a rumour?

What's the over-under on how many times we hear the phrase "most important game of the season" tonight?  Who says it first?  My money is on Elliotte.

You know you've made it when the Iron Sheik takes time out of his busy day to tweet about you.

TSN Senior Hockey Reporter thinks so:

Lamoriello is the king of loopholes though.  If anyone can find one, Lou is the man.
