If there was any doubt that Brian Burke and the Toronto Maple Leafs need to re-sign Martin Gerber, there shouldn't be anymore, not after Saturday night ...
Here are some
deep thoughts on another very disappointing performance from the Leafs and, especially, rookie goalie Justin Pogge:
Pogge's .844 save percentage is downright pathetic. Small sample size be damned. Drafted in 2004, Pogge is still not ready for prime time, and I'm truly beginning to wonder if he ever will be. How he performs for the Toronto Marlies in the playoffs is going to say a lot about him. The pressure is on ...
The Boston Bruins took five of six from the Leafs this season. I hate the Bs. Especially Milan Lucic. And by "especially Milan Lucic" I mean I'd love to see him in the blue and white ...

The Leafs' 271 goals allowed is worst in the NHL. Other than the forever pathetic Atlanta Thrashers, who have allowed 262, no team comes close to that number ...
Some good news: Alex Ponikarovsky scored his career-high 22nd and 23rd goals of the season on Saturday, and Niklas Hagman hit the 20-goal mark with the 100th goal of his career. Both of them are rudeys. My Poni-love post is coming down the pipe. Stay tuned ...
Mikhail Grabovski's personal March Madness (two more assists Saturday night; 14 points in March) has been HUGE for my fantasy hockey team ...
Toronto's won only 14 games at home this season. Only the hapless Tampa Bay Lightning have won fewer games on home ice. For shame ...
Is there a better camera shot than of Brian Burke with his binoculars, watching Luke Schenn pummel Steve Montador? Burke is boss. Literally ...
You know what really breaks my heart? The fact that the Paul Maurice led Carolina Hurricanes are going to make the playoffs. That hurts ...
After this, another, disaster of a season, I will never again take good goaltending and solid penalty killing for granted. I promise ...
