Sad News

I Have  Sad News To Report. :(

Former Habs, Leafs And Devils Coach Pat Burns Has died today. It was confirmed by The Devils and the NHL. He Died From A Lengthy battle with Cancer.  Over fourteen seasons between 1988 and 2004, he achieved a record of 501-350-161-14 in 1019 games. He Was 58.

Rest In Peace, Patty.

So I know it's been awhile but I thought this would be an ideal time to talk some more about the Leafs. Now I know there in a slump... Well a huge slump but things will change starting with the return of Phaneuf. Think about it, as soon as he returns The Leafs will feel more stable not only on defense but the offense will be able to focus even more on scoring. Especially Kessel who should feel safer with another 6'3", 214 lb body ready to fly in and back him up in scuffles. This should lead to some more drives to the net and aggressive play. Also I only really watched one game (i usually see all the highlights but there haven't been too many of those), it was in Florida and I saw the puck hit the post about twice and Ghrabovski got an unlucky bounce at one open net chance. So it's not like the Leafs aren't trying, they'll get that lucky bounce soon enough and get that elusive W. Then when Phaneuf comes back they'll be back to being playoff contenders, like they were at the beginning of the season.

I will post again really soon because I was lucky enough to get some tickets to the Preds vs. Leafs (Leafs tickets are almost IMPOSSIBLE to get) also I should be able to get some awesome pictures.

Oh and happy Remembrance Day.
