Alright, everyone. Let's breathe deeply. The Toronto Maple Leafs went into this season a long-shot to make the playoffs, and right now, they sit in a playoff spot. The team may slip into 9th, but things are getting better... slowly. At least, most things are getting better. Relax and enjoy the holiday season.

Leafs chances of making playoffs double to 1.7%. To get there, they'll likely have to go 8-1-1 or 9-1-0 for 89 or 90 points. They are the equal to CP in our league. Lots of promise with very limited results.

As if you weren’t aware, it was 45 years ago tonight – May 2, 1967 – that your team last played a game in the Stanley Cup final and last hoisted the silver mug, defeating Montreal at Maple Leaf Gardens.

Douggie Hamilton isn't even good enough to make the post-season lineup. Tyler Seguin barely played two years ago when they won it all. Kessel outscored them both (combined) this year.
The other prospect is just that, a prospect. All Leaf fans know the danger in placing a lot of stock in a prospect (see Brandon Convery).
Bottom line - what would a top 5 scorer (6th this yr) two years in a row cost you - and would you pay that price (Hamilton, Knight, and Seguin).
Try to form your own opinions fellas. It`s brutal watching the media berate Kessel on a daily basis when all he`s done is played well for us from day one. Look at all the facts and understand that this deal will take a couple more year suntil you can evaluate it fully. But I agree with Burkie, I`d pull the trigger again.
With ALL of that said, I think we can all agree it would be nice for him to show up in this series. For us leaf fans to have any hope, that is a must.
GO LEAFS.

That was heartbreaking. Perhaps it's a part of this young team (youngest in NHL, we recall) building towards something much bigger and better. Maybe this is part of the young men learning how to win?
What I know for sure is - if it was that painful to watch, can you imagine waking up and looking in the mirror this morning if your name is Phil Kessel or Dion Phaneuf? Ouch.
