Happy Thursday, everyone! Here are some links for you. Also the Habs lost, again. Their season is slipping away. It's beautiful to watch. It doesn't look like Therrien is going anywhere, either.

**Leafs News**

Pierre LeBrun says that Pittsburgh might be interested in Polak. On the one hand, yes. On the other hand, it's really in the Leafs' best interest for Pittsburgh to make it to the playoffs this season. On the other, other hand, an first round exit for Pittsburgh would really help that pick position. I'm torn.

The EOTP crew is not having a good time this season. It's wonderful. Michel Therrien is the greatest. Oh, also this happened after the game:
