With the Leafs on the road out West and having a couple days off, news on the subject of this team has slowed down considerably. The only article today from our usual lineup for mainstream media writers about the Leafs comes from Jonas Siegel, as he writes about [how J.S. Giguere sees a lot of himself in Reimer:](http://www.640toronto.com/Blogs/EatSleepLeafs/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10218757&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

"He reminds me a lot of me when I was his age," said Giguere. "When I see him at 22, it’s what I feel I maybe was like... I was able to seize my chance and stick with it... We had just a young team, a bunch of guys called up from the minors and I was lucky to have that chance."

Although we're a bit thin on Leaf news for now, I've got a slew of good links on other issues from around the league that are definitely worth checking out, so follow me over the jump for more.
