Schenn gets a little roughed up vs. Vancouver

Nonetheless, good job Schenn

Finally - a shoot out victory

The Leafs won in a shootout yesterday against the New Jersey Devils, their first shoot out win of the season. Coach Ron Wilson did not pull Toskala for Joseph for the shootout, despite Toskala playing a sloppy game in which he let in 5 goals during regulation time. The shootout winner was on an unorthodox play by Hagman in which he skated down the ice on his backhand and managed to shovel the puck under Brodeur. Had he missed, it would go down in history as one of the worst shoot out attempts ever, on par with when Robert Reichel took a slap shot on a penalty shot during a third period tie in the playoffs. Brodeur's reaction to the play "I thought it was funny more than anything".

Stajan seemed to have gotten coach Wilson's message about going to the net potting 2 goals. Schenn got his first NHL point, an assist.

Time to trade Kubina?

The Leafs have a wealth of quality defencemen, something not seen in years. With Luke Schenn staying in the NHL for the year, there are a total of 9. In the midst of a redevelopment season and numerous promising youngsters sitting in the press box i.e. Colaiacovo, is it time to trade the veteran 31 year old Kubina? By moving Kubina, the Leafs have a chance to develop the once very promising Colaiacovo. Kubina, who makes $5M a year for the next 2 years, is one of the Leaf's most steady defencemen. In return, the Leafs would be able to acquire a top line forward or some promising youngsters.

Indecision Leaves Us On The Hook

No doubt I have my opinions of Mr. Sundin. But when I speak of bandwagoner, its not that he shouldn't go to another team for his shot at the cup. It's that he stated he wants to stay with the Leafs before, but then entertained offers for other teams. Granted that's his perogative, and personally, I would do the same. But its the indecision of it all. I respect him and his game and what he's given to the Leafs, but him waiting it out to see what to do is what I find more bandwagonish then what Bourque did. Bourque had dealt with Harry Sinden the GM and inked a deal for the Avalanche for his shot when the Bruins were fading. He requested the trade, Sundin is waiting to see what happens. Everybody's entitled to their own opinions, just thought it was interesting to deal with it in this manner.

Leafs got Tampa on Tuesday and this is a great opportunity for the Leafs to see something they normally would not see very often... a winning streak. TB has been struggling even with the likes of Lecavalier, St.Louis and Stamkos. Currently last in the Southeast division, they've got a -7 goal differential and averaging just over 1.5 goals a game. I'm just waiting for the Stamkos break out... it'll happen soon... just not against the Leafs.

Luke Schenn is also not getting shipped back to Kelowna and will stay with the Leafs... go figure that in seasons past, we have no defense... now we're running 9 and have an abundance.

Btw... Sean Avery a possible Leaf... crazee
