Around SBN: Tom Brady And The Confusing Pantheon Of QB Greatness

Coyotes at Maple Leafs

Photo

Puck Drop: 7:30PM ET TSN

Our provincial rivals the Hamilton Coyotes are here in town for another big rivalry match. Oh. Well, nevermind. The Coyotes are from the Western Conference which means that they're probably better than the Leafs and none of us have seen them play or have any idea what colors they wear and who's on their team.

Over at SBNation's Coyotes blog Five For Howling OdinMercer (shown to the right) has posted an image of raking leaves which would be funnier if everything in Arizona wasn't burned to a crisp by their four hundred degree weather. I'm not sure if Coyotes fans will understand what a rake is or does. In fact the only thing harder to find in Arizona than Coyotes fans is potable water. Question: do Arizona residents need to rake cactus spines at any point during the year? Do cactus spines not fall off? Please let us know we're curious.

The Leafs look to make it five straight wins at home and with the Weekend of Horrors coming up (At Buffalo, Boston, Buffalo) this could be our last chance at a win for a while. Phoenix currently sits seventh in the West, ahead of Detroit, Dallas and Vancouver.

Star-divide

Ilya Bryzgalov has played very well this season but was shaky in Phoenix's loss to Detroit on Monday. Running down their player stats, Radim Vrbata leads the Coyotes with 10 goals, followed by Scottie Upshall with 9 and both Shane Doan and Robert Lang have 7. The Coyotes are a team that don't give up a lot of goals (75 GA in 33 GP, compared to Toronto's 97 GA) and they'll look to shut down the best friend of their worst enemy, one Mr. Phil Kessel.

Vesa Toskala starts his sixth in a row (please don't fail us now) and Luke Schenn enjoys game number three from the pressbox. I hope Wilson has a good plan here because while I'm not a huge fan of sending Schenn to the Marlies I'd rather have him in the AHL than the pressbox for an extended stretch. I'm not condemning the move though, Schenn's play hasn't been up to par and he needs to snap out of it. Hopefully this angers him up and gets him playing his game again.

There were rumors earlier this week of Jonas Gustavsson starting tonight but his return from the ablation was rushed last time and I hope the Leafs learned their lesson and sit him another week. He's an asset for the future and Toskala has played well over the past few weeks; no need to rush the Monster.

Don't forget your SPG picks and as always go Leafs go!

It actually goes deeper. Poe was notorious for his harsh criticisms and ticked off a lot of people in both the Boston and NY literary communities. In particular he did a reading at the Boston Lyceum that went over like a lead balloon, critics said it was terrible and he was claimed he was drunk and had written the poem when he was 10 years old. That’s why I love him, literary bad-ass! I wrote two essays about him this semester.

The only real question for the Leafs is in net – if the Monster is healthy, that one is basically answered.

They have talent on D, they have enough scoring…the team is nicely set up.

by JaredFromLondon on Dec 16, 2009 3:46 PM EST up reply actions  

I’d be happy with a 5% PP, if we could have a 95% PK. The Devils won a Cup a few years back with the worst PP and the best PK.

by Belligerent Burkie on Dec 16, 2009 3:46 PM EST up reply actions  

I think the rule is that they should add up to more than 100.

by Kenjamin on Dec 16, 2009 3:48 PM EST up reply actions  

Yes

I think it’s around 110%. But I’m saying that a ridiculously good PK is better than a ridiculously good PP, especially when the other one is bad.

Having both in the bottom half of the league isn’t good either.

by Belligerent Burkie on Dec 16, 2009 3:50 PM EST up reply actions  

Agreed.

A good defence is the best…. wait.. I know this. A good defence is the best…………. Coyote? Wait. Now I’m all confused.

To be fair, 5 teams are currently 2 points out in the East. Philly and NYR both have a game in hand. Plus we have to get ahead of Florida who are tied with Montreal for 8th. So realistically, we’re 3 points out of the playoffs.

by Belligerent Burkie on Dec 16, 2009 3:22 PM EST reply actions  

First tiebreak during the season is least games played. Leafs have that over FLA and MTL, so standings tomorrow could conceivably show the Leafs in 8th… Man it’s been a while

Probably the most exited player in either dressing room was Coyotes forward Paul Bissonnette, a Welland, Ont., native playing his first NHL game in Toronto.

There’s really no other valid approach for Welland.

Are they all actually from Welland though? For example, Nathan Horton is often said to be from Welland. He’s from Dunnville.
