*Did you sneak behind the Vesa's net and say not nice things? He sees you...*

- I'm not sure what to do now, as the man with all the answers, Dr. Steve, [has a few questions of his own](http://leafs.hockeyanalysis.com/2009/09/28/under-the-microscope/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) as the season is quickly closing in.
- Oh happy day! Down Goes Brown gives us two treats, first with [his belief in the prognostication power of Google](http://www.downgoesbrown.com/2009/09/google-knows-all.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and secondly with his 09-10 season preview. [First stop, the Pacific Division](http://www.downgoesbrown.com/2009/09/pacific-division-preview.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).
- MLHS gives us [a reminder of how deep the roots of fandom goes](http://mapleleafshotstove.com/index.php/2009/09/28/standing-room-only/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), with a look back to a boy and his dad and a hockey team. They also have [the most recent news](http://mapleleafshotstove.com/index.php/2009/09/28/this-week-in-ex-leafs-news/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) on former Leafs.
- Trying their hand at predictions, TML Fan Fury [has 30 of their own](http://tmlfanfury.blogspot.com/2009/09/30-predictions-for-toronto-maple-leafs.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).
- Norman James let's you know when [you can hear the latest](http://www.normanjamessports.com/2009/09/nazem-kadri-with-me-this-friday-on-hook.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) on [Nazem Kadri](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/71825/Nazem%5FKadri?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), from Nazem Kadri.
- The Hockey Independent [wonders if it's at all possible](http://hockeyindependent.com/blog/?p=1839&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) to let Toskala have some time to get his body back in shape from surgery and his mind accustomed to the new system he's learning. Silly...
- How do you know when a signing is a good thing? When fans of other teams being actively rooting against said player of course! Defending Big D [tries their best to hate](http://www.defendingbigd.com/2009/9/28/1058570/jonas-gustavsson-a-monster-sized?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [Jonas Gustavsson](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/72169/Jonas%5FGustavsson?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), but starting an insult by comparing him to Turk Broda shows you just how hard it might be.
- The hate continues, with [a Sens fan's attempt at humor](http://stayclassy.net/2009/09/28/will-they-or-wont-they-toronto-maple-leafs/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) about as successful as their first overall franchise draft pick...
- The Toronto Star has the latest opinion of Burke on his [Maple Leafs](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/TOR?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). The question for BB now is [whether or not we've got the right guys up front](http://www.thestar.com/Sports/Hockey/NHL/MapleLeafs/article/702281?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). This should feed the rumor fires until February.

**Update**

- Montreal v. Toronto? Forget that, it's all about [Da Da Canada v. Nyet Nyet Soviet](http://truculeafs.blogspot.com/2009/09/hockey-soviet-union-and-capitalism.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)! And [plans for the captaincy](http://truculeafs.blogspot.com/2009/09/do-leafs-need-captain.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com).
- Oh no, [not Burkie too](http://truthulence.blogspot.com/2009/09/for-what-its-worth.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)!
- Jared's [got hope](http://diehardblueandwhite.blogspot.com/2009/09/hope-floats.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and loves romantic comedies.
- A look at [all of Phil Kessel's even strength goals](http://sd24leafsblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/phil-kessels-goals.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). He sure does a lot of scoring...
- **Zambonic Youth comes in with [part one of their five part series of previewing excellence](http://www.zambonicyouth.com/?p=98&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)!**
