[Recap of Last Night's Game - St. Louis Game Time](http://www.stlouisgametime.com/2011/1/6/1920111/wait-what-went-to-shootout-blues-roar-back-cant-pick-up-gimmick-point?utm%5Fsource=feedburner&utm%5Fmedium=feed&utm%5Fcampaign=Feed%3A+sportsblogs%2Fstlouisgametime+%28St.+Louis+Game+Time%29&utm%5Fcontent=Google+Reader)

> First of all, when [Lee Stempniak](../../nhl/players/55134/lee-stempniak) came back to St. Louis as a Maple Leaf last year, did the fans boo him? Of course not. I cannot fathom why Leaf fans were booing [Alexander Steen](../../nhl/players/54286/alexander-steen) and [Brad Boyes](../../nhl/players/55139/brad-boyes) and (presumably, though I didn't specifically hear it) [Carlo Colaiacovo](../../nhl/players/54284/carlo-colaiacovo). Not one of them asked to leave Toronto and every one of them had good things to say about the Maple Leafs organ-I-zation.

Wasn't there. Wasn't booing. Those fans that were are stupid, though it was probably just Cliff Fletcher and Brian Burke doing the booing to be honest.

  
[Score Effects on Save Percentage - Hockey Analysis](http://hockeyanalysis.com/2011/01/06/score-effects-on-save-percentage/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

One interesting thing I noticed while doing all this was the Toronto Maple Leafs up by a single goal performance over the last 3 seasons. While they were middle of the pack 5v5 game tied (16th in 3 year 5v5 game tied save percentage), they were downright horrific when they got up a goal. They just couldn’t hold a lead. The three worst single season save percentages when up a goal were the 2009-10 Leafs, 2008-09 Leafs, and the 2007-08 Leafs so they were three for three there.

Well that's just fantastic. More links after the jump.

Almost pulled a page from Canada's book in doing so.

[Game 39 in 10 from LeafsHQ](http://leafshq.com/2011/01/06/game-in-10-game-39/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

11 - Good news. I dropped Gustavsson from my fantasy team this morning.

This was the first full 360 in a shootout; the rest are 270s when the shot is taken. Slick.

[Leafs Trades for the Real World](http://maplestirup.com/2011/01/leafs-trades-for-the-real-world/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

Word is their were scouts from 9 teams at the game last night.

[Leafs Rumored to be Interested in LA's Brayden Schenn](http://thehockeywriters.com/if-the-leafs-really-got-brayden-schenn/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

Yeah dude, the Leafs and 28 other teams.

[TML Legend Bob Hassard](http://mapleleafslegends.blogspot.com/2011/01/bob-hassard.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

He may be the only player who never played a single playoff game in his career to have his name on the Stanley Cup.

[Forget the Lost Draft Picks, Leafs Need Kessel to Produce Now](http://vintageleafmemories.blogspot.com/2011/01/forget-lost-draft-picks-leafs-need.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

VLM ponders this and much more about the Leafs.
