After watching the game last night, I had one thought: So *that's* what a good GM does. Years of ineptitude, which is far more painful to watch than mediocrity, had me convinced GM's just were not that important. I was happy Burke signed on, but seeing as how Cliff didn't do much but change the faces of the team, I didn't think good ol' BB was going to fair much better. I was wrong.

Seems like the rest of the Barilkosphere had a thought or two as well.

- First, the Truthulence [speaks a word](http://truthulence.blogspot.com/2009/09/and-now-it-gets-serious.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) about truculence.
- Steve from Hockey Talk is thinking some of the blue on the Leafs unis might be left on the opposing team, [in the form of bruises](http://two-beleafers.blogspot.com/2009/09/truculence.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). Truculence!
- TSM [likes what he saw from the new kids](http://torontosportsmedia.com/sports-and-toronto/opening-night-kids-alright/5786?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). And the truculence.
- MLHS has [quite a few thoughts](http://mapleleafshotstove.com/index.php/2009/09/17/quick-post-game-thoughts/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) as well. In summary, Bozak - good. Allison -bad. Beauchemin and Frogren - truculence.
- The Hockey-Bums makes note of the fact that Garnet Exelby (it's XLB gang...) [did what he was brought here to do](http://hockey-bums.com/archives/1962?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). Truculence!
- The Two Line pass has some photographic proof of [the skills of one Viktor Stalberg](http://thetwolinepass.com/2009/09/good-night-what-burke-has-joined-together-let-no-one-tear-asunder/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and notes losses like this can be fun to watch. Thanks to the truculence.
- [John Mitchell is the reason Jonas Gustavsson signed with the Leafs](http://www.nationalpost.com/sports/story.html?id=1998169&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). He's also been known to show some mother(expletive deleted) truculence.
- Branching out, [here's a completely unbiased opinion](http://web-canada.blogspot.com/2009/09/leafs-losing-fan-support.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) on the Leafs opposition to the Hamilton Coyotes. Tr....no, that's not it, more like "meh."
- Finally, [hair tips, from Kerry Fraser](http://nhl.fanhouse.com/2009/09/16/hairs-to-you-kerry-fraser/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) (with a glove tap to mf37 for the link) and not an ounce of truculence to be found./

**UPDATED**

- The Zambonic Youth's Godd Till is a hep cat, and [he's got a few words](http://www.zambonicyouth.com/?p=87&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) for us senior citizens. One of them better be "truculence."
- The Hungry Leafs Fan [was at the game last night](http://hungryleafsfan.blogspot.com/2009/09/first-impressions.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). Do not adjust your TV set, these Leafs really were the personification of truculence.
- HockeyCentric [wonders where Tlusty was last night](http://www.hockeycentric.com/the-leaf-blog/the-leaf-blog-thoughts-on-pre-season-game-1-vs-boston/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)/
