Toning it down and out...

Feb 15th - ICE HOCKEY FTW!!!

I played ice hockey for second time in my life.  My first time was at a friends birthday party more than 10 years ago.  This time I played with some older guys, youth and kids at a local rink.  I haven't skated for a few years and had to take some time to get used to it.  Was actually pretty amazed by the young kids flying around.  The youth were obviously much better and pretty much took over most of the game.  There was this really large youth that had really took over the game but wasn't cocky at all and actually was pretty friendly with the young ones.  So my first experience was great!  I went with the guys to eat all-you-can-eat sushi at 168 Sushi.


Feb 14th - "verbeauty"
Alright here big day for the Leafs today.  Kris Versteeg to the Flyers for their 1st and 3rd rounders.  This'll clear almost a million on our cap for the rest of the season (source: CapGeek.com).  The picks don't look like they'll be too high, unless the Flyers bomb the rest of the season...then Nugent-Hopkins, Couturier, Landeskog will be within reach.  Even now it gives something more for Burke to play with.  Getting a a 1st rounder back is important for the scouts for the Leafs so they don't sit on their hands for one of the most important part of the draft.  Kulemin was drafted in the mid second round, Brad Boyes (*sigh*) was drafted in the late 1st round and Tuukka Rask (*sighs again*) was also drafted late first round.  So realistically these are the types of players that we have a chance of drafting! Which is pretty exciting considering that it's possible we'll trade some younger or farm team players (not Luke Schenn or Nazem Kadri for sure though) to get proven prime-aged or veteran players that will help our push for the playoffs.  I BELEAF!

Versteeg obviously shocked...hopefully he plays like how he looks in Philly \'o'/
