What's wrong with the Leafs top line? It's been quite the topic of discussion since Randy commented on it Thursday night. [Here is Siegel's take](http://www.tsn.ca/talent/siegel-leafs-prod-scuffling-top-line-1.152946?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), and [here is Mirtle's](http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/leafs-beat/mirtle-carlyle-calls-out-leafs-top-line-after-stinker-against-devils/article21967155/?cmpid=rss1&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).

[Booth isn’t freaked out about fluke injury, one-year Leafs contract](http://blogs.theprovince.com/2014/12/05/always-the-optimist-booth-isnt-freaked-out-about-fluke-injury-one-year-leafs-contract/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).  
Booth plays against his ex-team tonight for the first time.

[Sinking loonie could mean big salary-cap problems for some NHL teams](http://montrealgazette.com/sports/hockey/nhl/montreal-canadiens/sinking-loonie-could-mean-big-salary-cap-problems-for-some-nhl-teams?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
It's that wonderful time of year when we have to find reasons to panic about the salary cap not rising! I say just pay the players in $5,000 cheques made out to 'cash'.

[Hello Miami, NHL History in the Making](http://www.pensburgh.com/2014/12/6/7308295/hello-miami-we-have-a-problem?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
Attendance in Florida continues to be bad, very bad, and worse, no one is watching the Panthers on TV either.

[Wings' hot start could keep Babcock in Detroit](http://www.foxsports.com/detroit/story/regner-wings-hot-start-could-keep-babcock-in-detroit-120514?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
The Red Wings are back in the Babcock sweepstakes, at least according to this pontificating old poop.

[Bulldogs honour Cirillo, soldiers](http://www.chch.com/79840/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
This just happened last night at the Bulldogs/Marlies game. I can't much coverage of it yet, beyond this report from the local TV news station. Marcus, Nathan Cirillo's very young son, dropped the puck at the ceremonial face-off.

[Roy pulls goalie with 13 minutes left in period](http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/gotta-see-it-roy-pulls-goalie-with-13-minutes-left-in-period/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \[Video only\]  
Down by four goals with 5 Jets in the penalty box (comically, they barely fit inside) and only 13 minutes left, Roy decides why not go for a 6 on 3? All hell done break lose when this decision *almost* fails spectacularly.

Now when the hell are we gonna get some dinner!
