“This is where it all is. It’s not easy playing here. It’s a great...”
– ~ Jason Blake, shortly after his departure from the Toronto Maple Leafs. Blake was miscast as a top scoring forward and his contract was an albatross on the team (thanks JFJ!), but being a scapegoat for the team can take its toll. What was once thought to be impossible, Blake was traded to another...

CGY is on the bubble for a playoff spot. They get four NHLers for two so they can try some line combos to find one that works.
Personally, I think Ian White will be an upgrade over Phanuef.
The biggest concern for the Leafs is Dion Phaneuf’s cap hit of $6.5 million. Toronto easily has the most money tied to their defencemen of any team...

The Spirit of November 5th, 1985
Back stage, the comedian was anxious, doubting himself for agreeing to the gig and, under the circumstances, nervous about what he could possibly say that was funny.
So John Candy stepped up to the microphone as the overwrought goaltender for Melonville, home of the fictional SCTV.

“It didn’t feel like that to me, maybe because I’ve only been playing...”
