The Leafs are off to the snowy capital of Manitoba to take on the surging [Jets](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/winnipeg-jets?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) in what should be an exciting game. It should certainly be more exciting than Canada's impending dismantling of USA Hockey's hopes and dreams.

Anyways, if you get the chance be sure to check out James Mirtle's [excellent article on Phil Kessel](http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/leafs-beat/phil-kessel-the-leafs-silent-star/article2287993/singlepage/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com#articlecontent). You might already know most of the story, but it was an enjoyable read.
