For the record, why I injected Bozak into this moments ago is that the Leafs are forced to use him as a comparable for any FA centre negotiations. If your numbers are not better than a guy who is widely considered not an elite talent, you're not going to get a contract in that range. No matter...

I think its obvious that Dave Bolland plays with a lot of heart and would be a huge addition to this team. Both sides of the coin are valid - he has never been a consistent 50 point scorer in the league, but Shanahan is calling a spade a spade when he explicitly states that he wants something to...

Can we get a thread going for him? Despite being pointless since his return, I really like the element he brings. He plays with size, looks to rub out opponents, and seems to be an all around swirling nexus of energy on most of his shifts. Been a while since I was compelled to rush out and...

Was just on TSN Radio and heard Clarkson's comment about telling his dad he was coming home to play for the Leafs. I have to say he seems really calm and collected about his decision. Somehow I just know he is actually gonna be a Gary Roberts type who will just play his heart out for us. It...

Any word on the deal? Is this a 1-way, 2-way ...? Is he just signing back with the Marlies? I think many of us thought he would be on the Leafs this past season but that never came to fruition. Not a bad depth signing if he is actually on the team this year. He is at least as good if not better...

I promise you that Michael Kostka will never play another game for the Maple Leafs. This is him being allowed to sit gracefully. He is absolute garbage. Other players who are playing their last games as Leafs: MacArthur, Clarke Liles, Jean-Michael Bozak, Tyler

Glad to have somewhat been proven right here, and I'm still being generous. The guy is pulling off the hockey equivalent of Kobe Bryant's game right now. Absolute game breaker. Its a thing of beauty to watch, especially it being a Leaf.

Its pretty obvious that the only untouchable on this team is the Lebanese kid who is woefully outplaying all of the supposedly "tougher" Canadian and American Leafs. I am usually optimistic but this is a ridiculous, pointless loss that may well be the point that we needed to make the playoffs...

Ready to go for Saturday at the Jets. As per TSN ... http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=418249 Excited to have his offence back in the lineup.

Do you guys remember years ago the Leafs spoke about these state-of-the-art machines that they used for players to heal faster and more efficiently? I specifically remember Sundin talking about using them, and some of them involved actually submerging body parts in liquid of some sort for...

Gardiner in, Holzer out. Lets do this.

Yes it does indeed answer my question Nik. Thanks for the sleuthing ;)

I contest the accuracy of this list. There has to have been a Leaf hattie scored since that last one Sundin is listed on ... What about the game against Calgary when he scored his 500th - was that not a hat-trick as well?

Missed the game but just saw highlights of the hattie. Sweet freaking Geebus. Btw, can we get a confirmation ... is this indeed the exact date of the Paul Henderson hat trick at Nassau Coliseum in 1974??
