If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." \-- Sun Tzu, The Art of War Lucky for us, we know ourselves very, very well. #### Leafs Links [The Inimitable Walter Broda | PPP stealth history poster guy strikes again](http://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/2015/12/1/9832658/the-inimitable-walter-broda) [William Nylander likely to play for Team Sweden at World Juniors | PPP](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/report-william-nylander-likely-to-play-for-team-sweden-at-world/) [Jonathan Bernier sent to Marlies for conditioning stint | PPP](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/jonathan-bernier-sent-to-marlies-for-conditioning-stint/) [Travis Dermott scores second goal of the season with Erie Otters | PPP](http://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/2015/12/2/9838606/watch-travis-dermott-scores-second-goal-of-the-season-with-erie-otters) [Leafs @ Jets recap: Sparks snuffed in six-goal loss | PPP](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/game-24-recap-sparks-snuffed-in-six-goal-loss/) [Where will Sparks fit into Maple Leafs goaltending lore? | Sportsnet](http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/where-will-sparks-fit-into-maple-leafs-goaltending-lore/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [Rumblings: Kings surprised by Jonathan Bernier's slump with Maple Leafs | ESPN](http://espn.go.com/blog/nhl/post/%5F/id/40215/kings-surprised-by-jonathan-berniers-slump-with-maple-leafs?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) #### Other Hockey News [OHL Roundup: Zachary Senyshyn scores four goals in Greyhounds rout of Wolves | NHL](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/nhl-twt/) [QMJHL Roundup: Alex Barre-Boulet leads Voltigeurs past Tigres in OT | NHL](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/nhl-twt/) [Worst dive in hockey history?

Last night we had a mini-debate in the FTB after a goal by Spaling was waved off for goalie interference. Unlike the very technical offside review, this review is subjective, and the review plays out to fans with little or no comment by the NHL officials whom are not even present at the game anyway. The Leafs weren't the only ones to lose out on a goal for interference last night. > goal was immediately waived off, Bolts are challenging it as they do not think Callahan pushed the Ducks defender [pic.twitter.com/gPkCX2QGpL](https://t.co/gPkCX2QGpL?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Stephanie (@myregularface) [December 3, 2015](https://twitter.com/myregularface/status/672281933565546496?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [Lightning hold off Ducks, win 2-1 to snap two-game losing skid - Raw Charge](http://www.rawcharge.com/2015/12/3/9840000/game-26-lightning-hold-off-ducks-win-2-1-to-snap-two-game-losing-skid/in/9600789?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) The Lightning bounce back from a bumpy ending to November with a much-needed win to start off their three-game road trip on the right foot. > Hazardous night for goalies [pic.twitter.com/H5R1gZbIb7](https://t.co/H5R1gZbIb7?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Stephanie (@myregularface) [December 3, 2015](https://twitter.com/myregularface/status/672284208472150016?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [Islanders 2, Rangers 1: Old enemies shine in first Brooklyn Brawl - Lighthouse Hockey](http://www.lighthousehockey.com/2015/12/3/9839072/islanders-2-rangers-1-shootout-brooklyn-halak-lundqvist-tell-av-theyre-still-the-islanders?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) The first ever Islanders-Rangers game in Brooklyn lived up to it's billing as one of the very rare NBC Sports Wednesday Night Rivalry games that actually qualifies for that title. > Boyle mishandles the puck on a must-score attempt and the Isles win [pic.twitter.com/cyMKL4cKTD](https://t.co/cyMKL4cKTD?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Stephanie (@myregularface) [December 3, 2015](https://twitter.com/myregularface/status/672261786020790272?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [Depth Finally Chips In - The Copper & Blue](http://www.coppernblue.com/2015/12/2/9839990/depth-finally-chips-in?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Oilers beat the Bruins 3-2 in a shootout > Tuukka stayed down for a while, but is staying in the game.
