Bob Cole had his day but now he's losing it big time.
One of his habits that bothers me most is constantly saying the time of the game, time left, who's playing, where it is and what the score is.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have a deal in place to trade forward Alexei Ponikarovsky to the Pittsburgh Penguins for defenceman Martin Skoula and prospect Luca Caputi.
The deal will become final after a trade call with the NHL.
Ponikarovsky was kept out of the line-up as a healthy scratch for Toronto's home game against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Ponikarovsky will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season and is earning $2.5 million this year. The 29-year old native of Kiev, Ukraine, has 19 goals and 22 assists in 61 games this season and is on pace to eclipse his career-high 23 goals set in 2008-09.
Drafted by the Maple Leafs in the 4th round (87th overall) in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft, Ponikarovsky has 114 goals, 143 assists and a plus-56 rating in 477 games with the blue and white.
Skoula, 30, has three goals and five assists in 33 games for the Penguins this season. The veteran blueliner will be joining his fifth NHL club after being drafted in the first round (17th overall) by the Colorado Avalanche in the 1998 draft. He also skated for Anaheim, Dallas, and Minnesota before signing with the Penguins as an unrestricted free agent last summer.
Caputi, 21, is a Toronto native and was drafted by the Penguins in the fourth round of the 2007 draft. He has one goal and one assist in four games with Pittsburgh this season. The 6'2", 184 pound left winger has 23 goals and 24 assists in 54 games for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the AHL.
Details to follow.

They had poni on the FAN590 today and they asked him how he felt about the trade. I don't think I could have been as professional as he was in my answer.
I would have been like "How do I feel? HOW DO I FEEL? I feel ABSOINGLUTELY FANTASTIC. I am outta here bitches and I get to play for the Stanley Cup with Malkin and Crosby. This is the best day in my life.... YOU TORONTO.... YOU." |

I actually think that Burke is doing a good job. You can't rebuild the way the leafs have been doing it for the last 50 years, it is about time that they start from scratch.
It is going to be a few years before you guys can be taken seriously for sure, but you guys have some really good building blocks and a lot of cap room to work with.
goalie - check
young and tough d - check.
offense...check please:p
the kessel move was still beyond stupid. Go Edmonton...no Hall in Boston! |
