Post-Game: 12:00 a.m., Leafs TV

REMEMBER YOUR SPG PICKS
Toronto heads to Calgary after their exciting win against Montreal. The Flames are battling the flu. Jarome Iginla may be a game time decision and Dion Phaneuf has swelling around his eye from the above stick incident. This could bode well for the Leafs if they skate hard all night. Hopefully they're not jet lagged.
Let's hope Grabovski keeps his four game goal streak going and the Leafs get a good effort out of Toskala. Taking two out of three is going to be very difficult if the Leafs need to win in Vancouver later this week against Luongo.
Update: Since the Leafs are playing the rough and tumble Flames Jason Blake and Anton Stralman will be scratches with Ryan Hollweg and Jonas Frogren taking their places. If Hollweg hits someone from behind tonight I'll burn an effigy of him in front of the ACC before a game. Hockey Viking will be on the prowl for more big hits.

I have a love/hate relationship with the Western Canada swing. On the one hand, I love the fact that the Leafs usually rack up the points and the Leafs fans are louder than the home fans.
On the other hand, I hate midweek games that end at 1am.

I think it is human. I feel the same way, even though I know that won’t solve anything. I’d also like Hollweg to get smacked by one of the same type of hits he throws and claims “aren’t as bad”. Some people need to experience things firsthand before they learn.

Blake is pissed
Via he we shall not link to….
Blake is steamed about being a healthy scratch tonight. After ripping off his equipment and letting loose a string of F bombs he had this to say:
"It’s just extremely frustrating. To be honest, I was very, very upset in Boston, but I didn’t really know what to say because I was caught off guard. It was the first time in nine years that I was a healthy scratch. I’m even more caught off guard this time, and I don’t know what’s going on, to tell you the truth. I’ll spend the afternoon trying to figure it out."

i just read that
and my thought was, Wilson was playing head games with Blake, if it’s true that there was no communication between coach and player. Wilson does have a history in SJ of not always being on the level with his players at times.
Blake, on the other hand, has to understand that he’s not producing. Surely he doesn’t think he gets points for shots on net? I think this goes along with Repressed Optimism’s take on Blake. He may not be taking well to Wilson’s style of coaching…

not producing
In the last 4 games the Leafs have scored 16 goals. Grabbo has 8 points over that stretch, Hagman 6. After that Kubina and Kulemin had 5 points in 4 games, Kaberle, Stajan, and Antro have 4 a piece. Ian White of all people has 3 points in the only 4 games he’s played this season, while Van Ryn and Poni each had 2 (Poni had both his points Saturday, Antro had 3 of his 4 also Saturday). Steen, Moore, Finger, and Mayers round out all the Leaf scoring with a single point each in the last 4 games.
Where’s Blake? Not even a single point? The Leafs score 16 times over 4 games and Blake doesn’t even pick up an assist somewhere? If he doesn’t score, what does he do?
There’s no room for him on either of the top two lines. Grabbo-Hagman-Kulemin or Antro-Poni-Stajan are set. His usefulness as a 3rd or 4th line player is limited. Other 3rd and 4th line players against certain teams may be more effective. Therefore, occasionally he’ll sit in the press box. What’s there to figure out? That took 5 minutes. Take the rest of the afternoon off, Blake.

3, to be exact...
…or 6 years of cap hit after they buy him out. Can’t wait to see his name on the Leafs’ salary list in 2014.

Ott/Mon game- just so ya know
Ruutu elbows down Lapierre (likely deserved, but i digress), Ruutu then runs 15 steps to drop the gloves with Boulion This second act didn’t make sense until it is revealed that Laraque was also on the ice. Standard Ottawa tough guy shtick. Do something dirty and run after a little guy.

Also
Kudos to McGuire for noticing Lapierre hitting Smith in the exact same position as VR-Pursenatcher
and slowing up so as not to drive his face into the glass. See Damien, it is possible for players not wearing blue and white to pull up and avoid injuring someone!
Alas, the asteroid I was hoping would have crashed into the arena by now has yet to materialize.

I’d rather watch Ottawa’s slow-motion implosion (I can’t wait for another round of “Trade Spezza” on Team-1200), so I’m hoping against your asteroid
