I never liked him as a hockey player, but as a person, he always seemed like a great guy. I hope the reports aren't true, but, since nobody is disputing them, I think we can draw our conclusions. I feel for his wife, and especially for his two daughters. 

I hope he shows it in the regular season.  It seems to me Caputi showed he was a topprospect in the preseason last year, and Stalberg/Hanson before that.

The top two prospects in either list (excluding Kadri and Reimer), Colborne and Gardiner, were both acquired by Burke in trades.

With all due respect to Alexander Godynyuk

Congrats Mats. Seems a little soon, Gilmour waited 6 years and Wendel waited 8, and for what it's worth, they both retired as Leafs. Mats has been out of hockey for only two seasons, and retired as a Canuck.  Don't get me wrong, he is one of the all-time greats, but I think that the fact...

True North Sports got at least one logo right.  Their AHL team was officially named the St. John's IceCaps yesterday. Not crazy about the team name, but I like the logo.  There is a map of Newfoundland and Labrador built into the mountain.

Didn't h eretire just before coming to Toronto?

Former Leafs prospect Justin Pogge has signed on with Phoenix. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/2011/07/27/justin_pogge/ One year/two way contract.  No money mentioned.

Probably some game show.

Well said Nik.  The reason we have Lupul, Phaneuf, Giguere (I realize he's gone) and others is because they were "overpaid". The only guy on the team that I think is "overpaid" by either definition is Komisarek.  Management overvalued him, as a UFA, and overpaid.  He has done little to live up...

I'll take that.  We finished strong last season.  If this team is as competitive as the team that finished last year, we've got reason for hope. Ha Burke done enough?  It's frustrating to hear people complain about every big name guy who doesn't come to Toronto, and blame Burke.  Not everyone...

The only reason I paid attention to the Final.  I dislike both teams, but hoped to see one of my favourites, Tomas Kaberle, get the cup. I got goosebumps when it was passed to him.  I thought that it was classy, that, although he was just a "rental player" he was still 3rd or 4th to get the...

I think that you're right.  I expect a good season from Gus in the backup role.  There is a lot less pressure than ever.  He is no longer the "goalie of the future" waiting for his turn.  He is the backup.  Hopefully the health holds up, and he can start 20-25 as a solid #2 guy.

I used to really like Leafs Lunch, back when it was with Marek.  He seemed to steer the show, and Watters contributed stories along the way. He knew everything about anyone who played in the 70s.  I haven't listened a lot/at all since those days.

I like this jersey.  I'm not quite old enough to remember the era first hand, which makes it a little more appealing to me.
