From The Rink goes to the rink

Things may be a bit quiet here for the weekend. Sunday I'll be at the Leafs' afternoon practice, so if there are any questions you'd like to see asked of Ron Wilson or others, by all means, let me know and I'll fit in what I can. 

The Eastern Conference is pretty bunched together, so Toronto's still in the mix for the playoffs despite being on pace for less than 80 points. And it's highly likely we're going to be waiting until after Christmas for Brian Burke to make any major moves, so what you see is what you get for a few more weeks.

The Leafs' next game is on Tuesday against the Devils, who are playing Buffalo at home tonight. New Jersey won't roll into Toronto until Monday.

whats up with there being no leafs game tonight?

When was the last time they didn’t play on Saturday (or on HNIC)?

Did they (CBC or NHL) think Ovie vs the Habs made up for no Leafs?

Good Question

I read that it’s the first time since March 1996.

Someone asked Wilson about this at the practice, but he didn’t have much to say. Ian White said he thought it was his first Saturday off in his NHL career.

The Leafs don’t seem to mind at all. :-)
