White Not Practicing With Team

Ian White not practicing today. Could this be related to him taking a puck to the face or is there something in the works? He probably just has a moustache injury.

Jonas Gustavsson and Vesa Toskala skated with the Leafs' strength coach today, Gustavsson wore pads, Toskala didn't.

I like Toskala’s new approach to the game. He couldn’t stop the puck with pads on so he’s decided to mix things up a little.

Do you think it was Burke or Wilson who suggested Vesa see how he could do without equipment?

Well, White is the only one who looks like he doesn’t need a week of practice.

Are we still talking about practice? Practice.

moustache transplant surgery is a risky procedure. He might need a little time to recover

Moustache transplant surgery? Did George Parros die? Was he even a donor?

Parros is known for donating his hair to sick kids, so i could see him helping out a sick moustach

Does this mean Gustavsson is on track to play on Saturday?

White was held out of practice to be fitted for goalie pads.

Is it April yet?

Unless you’re a dentist, because then it’s your job to do so.

If Seinfeld’s dentist is buttoning up afterwards, I assume Whitey’s would be unconscious on the floor.

If you thought trade hysteria is bad in Toronto during a normal year (at the deadline), imagine how crazy it’s going to get this year.

Yup. If Osgood doesn’t get lit up and Howard does, then Howard really sucks.
