That means that the Leafs will need about 50 shots to get 3 goals.

BURN THE WITCH!!!!!

- Not much in the way of game reviews so far today, but maybe that's a good thing in the circumstances. bkblades provided a [pimpin' pictorial preview](http://fallenleafs.tumblr.com/post/301445850/toronto-maple-leafs-versus-montreal-canadiens?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), Jared becomes [more succinct as the reverses pile up](http://diehardblueandwhite.blogspot.com/2009/12/game-36-37-38-leafs-1ot-assorted-teams.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and [The Hockey News](http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/30312-Jaroslav-Halak-makes-47-saves-as-Canadiens-beat-Maple-Leafs-32-in-overtime.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) is as dull and worthy as always. [Four Habs Fans](http://fourhabsfans.blogspot.com/2009/12/system-works-habs-3-leafs-2-ot.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and [Habs Eyes On The Prize](http://www.habseyesontheprize.com/2009/12/27/1220564/logic-defying-habs-find-ways-to?utm%5Fsource=feedburner&utm%5Fmedium=feed&utm%5Fcampaign=Feed%3A+sportsblogs%2Fhabseyesontheprize+%28Habs+Eyes+On+The+Prize%29&utm%5Fcontent=Google+Reader) celebrate with their usual evil doing....

- AkiSchennberg has a [Christmas time greeting](http://akischennberg.blogspot.com/2009/12/merry-christmas.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) for all of you. All of you that is [except Matt Stajan](http://akischennberg.blogspot.com/2009/12/matt-stajan-stinks.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).
- The WJHC started off yesterday and the results were as follows - Czech Republic [1 - 10](http://watch.tsn.ca/international-hockey/clip249872?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com#clip249873) Sweden. Canada [16 - 0](http://watch.tsn.ca/international-hockey/clip249872?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com#clip249872) Latvia. Russia [6 - 2](http://watch.tsn.ca/international-hockey/clip249872?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com#clip249935) Austria. USA [7 - 3](http://watch.tsn.ca/international-hockey/clip249872?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com#clip249933) Slovakia.  
Eyebleaf can't wait for the [Nazdaq to make millionaires](http://www.sportsandthecity.com/2009/12/something-to-look-forward-to.html?utm%5Fsource=feedburner&utm%5Fmedium=feed&utm%5Fcampaign=Feed%3A+SportsAndTheCity+%28Sports+And+The+City%29&utm%5Fcontent=Google+Reader) of us all...
- ...and Toronto Mike finds [the whole 16 - 0 thing somewhat unseemly](http://www.torontomike.com/2009/12/watching%5Fthis%5Fafternoons%5F16-0.html?utm%5Fsource=feedburner&utm%5Fmedium=feed&utm%5Fcampaign=Feed%3A+TorontoMike+%28Toronto+Mike+Blog+Entries%29&utm%5Fcontent=Google+Reader).  
Let's round it off with a little bit of the old time hockey we love so much. Via The Hockey Writers, here are the 79/80 Bruins [making a stand at Madison Sq. Gardens](http://thehockeywriters.com/1979-80-bruins-rangers-brawl-in-msg-stands/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).
- UPDATE - Eagle-eyed pedantry fan frag points out that [Jerry D'Amigo was player of the game](http://www.nationalpost.com/sports/story.html?id=2383076&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) for Team USA yesterday./
