Bernier must be feeling pretty good this morning. He's posted his first 2 wins of the season, has a shut out, and could start tonight. A nice pre-Christmas present for him. Tyler Bozak continues his season that astounds us all and scored a hat trick last night. Jake Gardiner comes out of his shell with 4 assists as well. It's good to see a win like that, and don't worry tank nation, the Maple Leafs are still in a good lottery position, and if they lose? Lots of good players available, so just enjoy the games. on to the links!
