*This is apropos of nothing, it just makes me laugh, and I'm drunk on night time cold medicine...(via [kqe.de](http://kqe.de/pruell/smells-funny.jpg?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com))*

- Sure, [Keith Ballard](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55510/Keith%5FBallard?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) gets all the press, but it's a little known fact that teammates inflict injuries on one another quite often. Don't take my word for it though, [ask Down Goes Brown](http://www.downgoesbrown.com/2009/12/nhl-injuries.html?utm%5Fsource=feedburner&utm%5Fmedium=feed&utm%5Fcampaign=Feed%3A+DownGoesBrown+%28Down+Goes+Brown%29&utm%5Fcontent=Google+Feedfetcher).
- The Far Away Leaf looks on [the bright side of things](http://farawayleaf.blogspot.com/2009/12/platoon.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), of which for the Leafs, there seems to be plenty.
- You think you know pimp, but [Turk Broda proves](http://vintageleafs.blogspot.com/2009/12/turk-broda-gqmf.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), you don't know jack. Vintage Leafs has this and more...
- Leaf & Lion is a taking a step back [to get a good look](http://leafandlion.blogspot.com/2009/12/big-picture-november.html?utm%5Fsource=feedburner&utm%5Fmedium=feed&utm%5Fcampaign=Feed%3A+LeafLion+%28LEAF+%26amp%3B+LION%29&utm%5Fcontent=Google+Feedfetcher) at the big picture.
- There are a pair of post on MLHS. The first takes a look at [Nazem Kadri](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/71825/Nazem%5FKadri?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)'s chances of [sticking with the final roster](http://mapleleafshotstove.com/index.php/2009/12/02/kadri-invited-to-world-juniors-final-selection-camp/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) selections for Canada's WJ team. They then [ask some questions](http://mapleleafshotstove.com/index.php/2009/12/02/question-period-leafs-edition-8/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). It's up to you to provide the answers.
- With Christmas fast approaching, some of you are probably wondering what to get that special someone. Might I suggest [this forgotten piece](http://www.forgottenmiracle.com/watch-the-trailer/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) of Olympic hockey lore?
- Jonathan Willis has a double dose of Leafs' thoughts: [Ponikarovsky is obviously a top six forward](http://my.thescore.com/hockeyordie/archive/2009/12/03/the-underappreciated-alexei-ponikarovsky.aspx?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and [Joey Joe Joe is a clear upgrade in net over Toskala (and possibly Gustavsson)](http://my.thescore.com/hockeyordie/archive/2009/12/03/can-joey-macdonald-be-any-worse-than-the-leaf-s-other-goalies.aspx?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

As always, if I've missed something, toss it in the comments.
