Well, the Jays won last night. I've been in a glass case of emotion (and alcohol) for the last 24 hours, so I'll keep this short and sweet. Your links!

#### Leafs Links

Keep your feet warm this winter (for our Florida-based writers, that's the time of year when your thermometer hits like 20C) with a subtle reminder of Dear Leader!

And yet, someone will probably find a way to complain about too much Leafs coverage, I'm sure.

In the time it took me to write this blurb, [David Clarkson](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54972/david-clarkson?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) just fell down again.

David Alter on Leo's presence on the Leafs' first line. I thought he looked good, but just doesn't have the talent to finish. What do you think?

This bodes well for [Lightning](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/tampa-bay-lightning?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) fans, who can rest easy knowing that Stamkos will be well-replaced when he signs with the Leafs.
