I was going to write a huge post about how pathetic they are, etc. etc. but then, I checked my e-mail and found the above. Score one for me. Here's your morning links. - [TwinkieGate: Sweetest manufactured controversy of NHL playoffs](http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck%5Fdaddy/post/TwinkieGate-Sweetest-manufactured-controversy-o?urn=nhl,236693&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) I'm probably going to be making Twinkie jokes a lot.

But the rest of his 30 points are interesting (and includes why the Leafs drafted [Luke Schenn](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54281/Luke%5FSchenn?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) over Tyler (Vezina winner!) Myers). - [Coaching candidates for four open NHL jobs](http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/globe-on-hockey/coaching-candidates-for-four-open-nhl-jobs/article1547212/?cmpid=rss1&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Mirtle takes a look at some names he's heard thrown out there for who could be up for one of the available NHL coaching positions. - [Grading the Maple Leafs Season, Player by Player](http://tmlfanfury.blogspot.com/2010/04/grading-maple-leafs-season-player-by.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) TML Fan Fury went through the entire Leafs' roster from this past season and gave each of them a grade.

But, I guess that's a good thing, as the one [Bruins](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/BOS?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)' fan we're allowed, Cornelius Hardenburgh, was in attendance at this game and it would suck to have to find another Bruins fan to hang out with that is half as cool as he is. - [Burke’s Focus Now Shifts to Tweaking Roster ](http://mapleleafshotstove.com/2010/04/26/burkes-focus-now-shifts-to-roster/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) MLHS takes another look at a list of Vets that might be useful to the Leafs. If we sign [Taylor Pyatt](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54461/Taylor%5FPyatt?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), bam, automatic best looking roster in the NHL. Sadly, despite his pretty eyes, he's just not that good. - [Heroic Halak talks about 53-save effort ](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/nhl-twt/) The only thing that makes me happy about the horribleness of the Habs forcing game 7 is the fact that they will now probably trade Halak and his great goaltending to go with pouty, petulant Price. - [Vintage Leafs: Beware, may cause nightmares](http://vintageleafs.blogspot.com/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Vintage Leafs has an interesting collection of new pictures today.
