As expected, the retirement threat kept all hands off Jason Spezza.

Sometimes that’s how you have to make a choice.

The bare bones, in a form short enough you’ll still be awake at the end.

No, I’m not all that sure what’s going on either.

“Knee” is all we know.

Why does 5 p.m. suddenly matter to us?

The Maple Leafs are holding their third goalie on the roster.

What I learned from last night’s game.

The season overlap has European teams driving for playoff spots while the NHL is just starting.

The Leafs are second to the Canucks, though, we need to fix that.

Three goalies and 18 skaters are the team for now.

The great white north fights it out for four playoff spaces this year.

The stage is set to try to run with a roster with no extra skaters.

It’s yet to be determined if they will be a friend or an enemy this season.

They’ve made a couple of very, very interesting choices.

Who is exempt, for how long, and who has to be waived to go to the Taxi Squad.

We have always been at war with Lower Canada.

Players not already a lock for the roster have this one chance to prove themselves.

The Maple Leafs had picture day recently. Let’s see how well you do figuring out who everyone is.

And some other people we don’t need to discuss.

They don’t know how good they have it.

Are they still the biggest joke north of Arizona?

On TSN and Sportsnet. Geez. That’s like the Leafs and the Habs cooperating on something.

Oh, right, there is a team in Winnipeg, I always forget that.

Who is trending up and who is deeply disappointing to me on a personal level?
