Dany Heatley was placed on waivers by Anaheim today. Given that the Blue Team has had a historical penchant for signing players who used to be good - looking in your direction Eric Lindros, Brian Leetch, Phil Housley, Ron Francis and Larry Murphy - he seems like a very good fit for Toronto.
Before any team signs Heatley they NEED to listen first to this disclaimer.
"IS DANY HEATLEY RIGHT FOR YOU?"
Stats Canada announces there are 1,498,067 ways to hate the Leafs.

My Mumps, My Mumps, My Mumps. Check it out.
With the Blue Team taking on Anaheim this week, I am beside myself with worry that Phil Kessel will be infected with the mumps. I worry even more that it may go completely undiagnosed.Oh no he di-in't!

Leaf Goalie Inspired by Mandela, Whoever That Is
I don't expect pro hockey players to know much outside their privileged millionaire bubbles. Whatever.
We all have topics we'd look foolish trying to discuss. For example, I don't know anything about the TV show, Game of Thrones. But if I went to a Game of Thrones gala, I'd at least learn about the show's basics. If a TV reporter put a camera on me and asked me to talk about Game of Thrones, I would politely decline or at least fake a heart attack. As a last resort, I'd admit I knew nothing.
I certainly wouldn't try to wing it and shovel bullcrap everywhere.
That's how Leafs' goalie Jonathan Bernier played it Friday night. Bernier was invited to a fundraiser that honoured Nelson Mandela on the one year anniversary of his death. Bernier showered, put on his best Leaf-coloured suit and slicked back his greasy Sam Smith haircut. But never once did it occur to him to find out who Nelson Mandela actually is.
So he tried to B.S. his way out of it with hilarious results.
I bet Bernier still cherishes Mandela's rookie card to this day.

They'll Have a Blue Christmas
With Christmas a couple of weeks away, the Blue Team has begun sending out their Christmas cards. Here's Dion and Phil sending out their best wishes for the yuletide season in a portrait that can't possibly be photo shopped.
