...of the year! If you're looking for the right song to play as the clock rings in 2010, might I suggest the following? Oh, and by the way, lyrics are completely NSFW.

Leafs play *tomorrow* tonight (sigh.) I have no idea who it's against, but I'm sure at some point I'll get it all figured out. Maybe I'll even watch he game!

Oh ya, Leafs. Links...

- First order of business: [Ian White](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54283/Ian%5FWhite?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). MLHS [tries to place a monetary value](http://mapleleafshotstove.com/index.php/2009/12/28/the-value-of-ian-white/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) on a mustache, while TML Fan Fury states the obvious: [just pay the man](http://tmlfanfury.blogspot.com/2009/12/brian-burkes-first-move-of-2010-sign.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)!
- Have the holidays ended? Of course not! Want to know how I know? Two words: [Holiday Kesstacular](http://wwold.blogspot.com/2009/12/holiday-kesstacular-part-4.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).
- Steve talks [power play numbers](http://leafs.hockeyanalysis.com/2009/12/28/coldest-power-play-in-the-east/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). In particular, the crappy ones the Leafs have been putting up for quite some time now.
- Most would agree, Jared has a way with words. His [most recent game recap](http://diehardblueandwhite.blogspot.com/2009/12/game-39-leafs-4-pens-3.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) proves the point.
- Speaking of recaps, Frozen Leafs saw [a different team](http://frozenleafs.com/2009/12/28/leafs-continue-jekyll-and-hyde-season/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) from the Leafs than in some of the more recent games. Or did they...?
- Vintage Leafs seems to have found my weak spot. [Rick Vaive goodness](http://vintageleafs.blogspot.com/2009/12/1983-84-schedule-featuring-rick-vaive.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). As always, do check out the rest of the site!

**UPDATED**

A two-for one deal as eyebleaf talks about the [top ten moments in Toronto sporting history.](http://www.sportsandthecity.com/2009/12/torontos-top-10.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Then, putting a kibosh on the year that was, we get his last [deep thoughts](http://www.sportsandthecity.com/2009/12/deep-thoughts-500-am.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) for 2009\. For what it's worth, #11 hurts. You may want to skip over that one...
