[Mirtle: Leafs in limbo after pointless California trip](http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/leafs-beat/mirtle-leafs-in-limbo-after-pointless-california-trip/article22485560/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
There are uncomfortable questions being asked about the Leafs right now which really don’t have a whole lot to do with an 0-3 trip through California.

[Horachek has Leafs generating more scoring chances](http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/horachek-has-leafs-generating-more-scoring-chances/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
Some guy named Stephen Burtch thinks Horachek is doing some good work. But he's never played the game, so take this all with a grain of salt.

[Sharks GM Wilson denies mishandling Burish situation](http://www.csnbayarea.com/sharks/sharks-gm-wilson-denies-mishandling-burish-situation?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
Either someone is lying here; Adam Burish, Doug Wilson, or Todd McLellan; or Burish is just dumb, forgot he was waived, and embarrassed the fuck out of himself showing up for practice anyway.

[Goalie Goal! Reto Berra gets an empty netter](http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/reto-berra-ahl-netminder-celebrates-in-style-after-scoring-goal-1.2916514?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
He does the whole bench glove tap celly, which the other team doesn't really appreciate.

[Dan Carcillo injures Mathieu Perreault with vicious cross-check (Gross Video)](http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/dan-carcillo-injures-mathieu-perreault-with-vicious-cross-check--video-060632605.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
Perreault's arm looks to bend/break in an almost cartoonish way.

[Researchers use dollar signs to show NHL the cost of brain injuries](http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/researchers-hope-dollar-signs-on-brain-injuries-will-save-nhl-players/article22498629/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
$117,191,045 has been paid out to 35 players who could no longer play because of concussions but were still on contract. The article includes a list of the biggest payouts at the end. One ex-Leaf is on it. The name may surprise you.

[U of O scraps men’s hockey season for 2015-16](http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/education/u-of-o-mens-hockey-team-scraps-2015-16-season/article22487428/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
Continuing to reel from the sexual assault scandal, U of O has suspended its hockey program for another season, however the players not charged in the incident have launched a class-action lawsuit against the university and its president to press for the program to be reinstated.

[ICYMI: Ejected player clotheslines himself with own hockey stick](http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/mitchell-skiba--ejected-player--clotheslines-himself-with-own-hockey-stick--video-005134013.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
I somehow missed this from earlier in the week, but found a link to it from DGB. Mitchell Skiba's highlight will live forever on every hockey blooper reel.

For the record: [Daniel Sedin says Nylander was Modo's best player](http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/hockey/vancouver-canucks/Sedin+twins+liken+Modo+woes+Swedish/10736252/story.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). Suck on that [Per-Åge Skrøder](http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=51422&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)!

And DiManno wrote a column about how the Leafs "have lost their mojo". [Clearly she was too dumb to help Jake find his cheese.](http://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/2014/12/22/7435515/help-jake-gardiner-get-his-mojo-back)
