Tucker was hit into the boards by Tuomo Ruutu, brother of noted douchebag Jarkko.

Hope the little fella is ok, despite his victimizing the Leafs earlier in the season.

Perhaps one of the classiest guys playing the game is going to retire this week. Great run, Joe!

Being a westcoaster has its advantages, like being able to get the early (late-nite) scoops!

According to New England Sports Network and the Boston Herald, the Bruins have offered their first- and third-round picks in the draft, as well as six-foot-five forward Joe Colborne, the team's top pick from last season.

Alright let's settle this. Bob Cole vs Jim Hughson. Loser will be mocked until the winner's throat is sore!

Nucks Misconduct Who is the bigger "homer" announcer?

As a Leaf Fan in Vancouver (cough), I'm forever defending all things Leaf related from my Toronto-hating coworkers, friends, family, pastor, rabbi and social worker(s). Imagine my surprise when I discovered that Jim Hughson's vocal stylings are seemingly despised by the Leaf faithful as much as the venerable Bob Cole's are by folks out west! 

There is only one way to settle this once and for all, a poll pitting the Leaf Nation against the Canuckleheads! Feel free to cheat as much as a habs fan in the voting!

Wow. How much would that suck if the Isles draft Tavares then get moved to KC? Answer: Lots.

Pension Plan Puppets Loveable NonLeafs - Volume 1

In order to add a note of positivity after a bit of a brutal week for Leaf Fans, I thought I'd start a series profiling players who have never worn the blue and white. These are players who could be classy, solid leaders, entertaining as all hell or all of the above.

I'll start with some short blurbs and who knows, I may add on longer entries for other players as I go.

Pension Plan Puppets 5 Easy Steps for Reducing Fan Rage

Editor's Note: I strongly suggest that if you wish to avoid any jail time that you read this handy guide prior to every Leafs game until they are good again.

Fan Rage. We've all been there. After your team endures a brutal beating, you want to hurt something. You may feel like throwing a bottle at your TV. You might want to put your fist through the laptop screen. Or perhaps you might want to formulate a complex assassination plot to exact revenge on the team/player(s)/coach/ref(s) who have wronged you.

With these simple techniques you will save countless dollars and murder charges!

The always entertainingly idiotic Vancouver media getting revved up already with this "opinion" piece in The Province (local tabloid rag for the mentally challenged).

Pension Plan Puppets Christmas Contest - NHL as the Solar System

In today's guest post, the allusion to the Leafs as the "Centre" (Queen's English FTW!) and the Isles out in the Kuiper belt got me to thinking.. How would the NHL Teams line up if this idea was expanded?

The soap opera that is Avery continues! Hilarious stuff.

Phaneuf didn't seem too perturbed, but will hopefully crush him regardless.
