Bloggers are contractually obligated to mention this goal when referring to Brad May
The grizzled veteran (take note Cox) will be playing in his 1000th game. As per the club's policy of being nice to everyone that has ever worn the Maple Leaf he'll likely get some sort of video and acknowledgement.
Probably the most important part to this game is the fact that ex-Sabre Brad May will play his 1,000th career game tonight. May played 425 games with the Sabres before being traded in 1997. Since then, May has played for five different teams. Coach Ron Wilson sat May out of last night's game just so that he could be able to play his 1,000th game against his old mates.
That Burke is a classy fellow.
May will become the 21st player to hit 1000 games played in a Leafs uniform:
The following players suited up for their 1000th NHL game while playing for the Maple Leafs: Glenn Anderson, George Armstrong, Shayne Corson, Tie Domi, Ron Ellis, Tom Fitzgerald, Doug Gilmour, Tim Horton, Red Kelly, Dave Keon, Jamie Macoun, Dave Manson, Marcel Pronovost, Gary Roberts, Borje Salming, Eddie Shack, Allan Stanley, Mats Sundin, Steve Thomas and Norm Ullman.
Brad May aside, the Leafs are in tough tonight. Too often this year they've given terrible efforts against the Sabres so Tavares considerations aside it would be nice to see them actually try against the team from the land of the moustaches.
Previous Meetings
It's especially disconcerting considering that Wilson has decided to throw Cujo (Old Yeller?) to the wolves.
The last time he faced the Sabres he gave up 4 goals on about 2 shots. I hope he'll recapture the magic in what will likely be his last appearance as a Maple Leaf in Toronto (barring a collapse on Saturday which is always possible).

A little pre-game warmup.
This one’s for Matt Stajan and his legion of puck-bunnies.

Stajan
Gives me loose stool. It’s loose in the same proportion as Stajan is soft on the puck(or limp on the ice)
Tanking by accident?
I concur. He’s losing his spot. If he isn’t the second line centre he’s about 25 lbs of muscle too soft to be a 3rd/4th liner.

Stajan
on the powerplay makes no sense AT ALL. I want to see the other Hamilton play this year.
Tanking by accident?
Stajan
he was at one point of the season the leading scorer for the team (then again, considering it’s this Leafs squad, that may not be saying much.) Then this happened
Making stuff up since real Leafs news is far too depressing
Yeah
He lost a lot of momentum with that, Hagman’s injury, Grabbo’s suspension, etc.

could’ve been worse, I guess. Could’ve been, like, hookers and blow.

Or high school senior girls,
And cheap pot.

for some reason, I see that happening to Stajan more than hookers and blow. I just like saying hookers and blow. It’s just fun to say, like “Kibbles n bits”

Oh
ANd Brad May is sometimes the only player on the ice(other that Kulemin) that looks like he’s trying to play hockey. I will miss him if he isn’t back next year
Tanking by accident?
Yeah, May always tries hard. He’s a good example to the kids.
But I’d rather wait until past July 1.

That's ok, Haeyena.
None of us here are. Really. :)
