Capitals @ Leafs - Apr. 17th, 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

1.  Babcock outcoaching Trotz, leaving OV to play just 15 minutes last night -- not enough.

Tom Wilson played more than Ovi (albeit barely) in the 3rd period of the game. And played just 2 minutes less overall.

the stuffed bears are real. the sweaters they wear were all made by me. many have been repurposed (ie, Tucker Bear became McArthur Bear and now has a new life as Marner Bear.)
I just today changed my old 39Bear (don't even remember who that was, the file was called 39Bear) to 29 Bear so Nylander has representation now. And the old 14Stajan bear has become 44 Rielly so I *think* all the regulars are represented again

There wasn't a Karel Pilar bear?!

oh that's possible! I don't remember how long ago I made that one.

I looked up Leafs who wore #39 and seems like it's either going to be Green or Frattin.

I discovered it was also worn by someone named Simon Gamache for 11 games in 2007-2008. Am I the only one who doesn't remember who that is at all?

I do remember him I think...little guy from the minors...wherever they were playing then...on the rock?

Those seem to be the broad strokes. He's got a fun hockeydb page. He had 70 goals and 184 points(and 57 points in 23 playoff games) in his overage year in the Q, was an AHL mainstay with a couple quick stops in the NHL first for the Thrashers and then for the Preds before producing reasonably well in 15 games for the Blues. Then he has a huge year in the Swiss league, splits time in 07-08 between the Swiss league, the Leafs and the Marlies and then goes back to Switzerland. He even played last year in the Austrian league.

I swear, I don't remember those 11 games at all. And he even scored twice for the Leafs.

I didn't remember until now! There was some talk that he might be a diamond in the rough that found his game in Europe. Clearly, he did not.

indeed. I just found the folder on my desktop with all the original photo pieces and it says 'frattin bear front' and 'frattin bear back' although I bearly barely remember Frattin even being a Leaf.

and no, there was never a 29Bear previous to young Mr Nylander. I wasn't making them yet back in the Felix Potvin days. In fact, the first few weren't even bears, they were raccoons... Courtnall, Leeman, Clark. Later Tucker, Gill...... Bears started with Berard, McCabe, Kaberle.

the original bunch.
