Tweet from "Stats Canada" (hint: not really Stats Canada ;)) Stats Canada ‏@stats_canada  2h  The Canadian Dollar is no longer measured against the US Dollar, it's measured against the Maple Leaf Playoff Ticket.

It seems like a strange angle. Or further from the ice than we're used to.

Yes it's not all about him. (And he keeps his tie on  ;))

I'd have less of a problem with a trade for Kiprosoff if I honestly thought he would simply be a backup. I just have a bad feeling that they may try to force Kiprosoff into the starting role, especially given his salary compared to Reimer and the fact they traded for him.

Some rambling thoughts on our goaltending: I have to say, I don't particularly trust our goaltending. I know, I know, their stats are pretty good, but, I still feel nervous on every shot on goal. Maybe it's because, since the lockout, we have been witness to goaltending that ranged from...

I think one of the reasons that Kessel appears to be flying is that he is no longer 'the guy'. We have had this discussion (ad nauseum) that he is not really the kind of player that you build a team around, he is more of a high-end complimentary piece (imagine him with Sundin - who was someone...

This is a good one. http://ourleafs.blogspot.com/

That sounds like a dirty euphemism.

Is Lyndon Slewidge no longer with the OPP? This is the second time, I think, he's been in a tux not his uniform.

No. What I am saying is the gold watch alone does not indicate that an employee was valued. Ask anyone who worked for a crap company that underpaid and over worked them and then, on their retirement, they got a gold watch. They didn't skip out of there saying "Oh they valued me!" Let me be...

This is true if value is only determined by a gold watch.

It doesn't really matter what other teams do - it matters what the Leafs do and their internal consistency. To push the gold watch analogy - if you work for Company ABC that does not give a gold watch when you retire, and you see Company XYZ that does - it doesn't mean Company ABC owes you a...

I think that's a potato/potahto thing as to whether that constitutes 'sulking'. Bottom line: he wants the team to ignore its policy to honour him.

The Leafs have their own policy - they only retire the numbers of players who die or are grievously injured while a member of the team. As long as they are consistent in the application of this policy, I don't have a problem with it. It's not as if the team has been secretive about how they make...

Was at the game last night. Leafs Nation was representing! The public address announcer had a unique pronunciation of Kadri's name : NaZEEEM KadREE Made him sound like more of a potential terrorist.

A team that rarely loses at home versus a team that rarely loses on the road. Battle of titans.

As time passes, that Leaf win over the Pens looks less and less impressive.

I happened to watch the last two games with the non-Leaf broadcasting teams (Penguins & Islanders). Both talked about the Leafs' speed which, I admit, caught me by surprised as I didn't know that was going to be a strength. Though, to be honest, I couldn't have said what our 'strength' was...

Or Connolly ;)
