<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">WASHINGTON (Dec. 9) - After looking respectable on the penalty kill through much of November, the Maple Leafs were stripped naked by the Washington Capitals on Friday night. A sequence of undisciplined penalties allowed the Caps to score all their goals on the powerplay - three of them by defenseman <strong>Dennis Wideman</strong> - in a 4-2 victory over the Leafs; Toronto losing for the third time in four games since Saturday. Wideman became the first defenseman to score a hat-trick against the Maple Leafs since Mar. 7,1994, when <strong>Steve Duchesne</strong> of the St. Louis Blues had three at Maple Leaf Gardens - that info from the <em>Toronto Sun's</em> <strong>Lance Hornby</strong>: a walking encyclopedia among us all. <strong>(NOTE: On Saturday, the NHL reviewed Wideman's third goal and ruled it had gone in off teammate Brooks Laich, so Steve Duchesne is <em>still</em> the last d-man to score three on the Leafs)</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">The game, itself, seemed to be an intrusion after a busy day compiling reaction to the sale of <em>Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment</em> to communications rivals <em>Rogers</em> and <em>Bell Media</em>. Much of the chatter around the visitors' dressing room after the morning skate centred on the most noticeable and popular member of the Leafs ownership group. </span><span style="color: #0b5394;">One by one, the veteran players - and coach <strong>Ron Wilson</strong> - voluntarily mentioned his name: the lone face they all know in a throng of investors that has now grown beyond immediate comprehension.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><strong>Larry Tanenbaum</strong> - owning right of first refusal in the sale of MLSE majority shares, but not quite worth $1.4 billion himself - will continue to be seen during and after all Leaf games at the Air Canada Centre; his stock having increased from 20% to 25% of the enormous pie. Through good times and bad, Tanenbaum was the conscience of a now-former controlling group fronted by the impersonal <em>Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan</em>, and a man that deeply cared about those on the front lines.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">"I think it's great that Larry got more of a percentage," said Leaf captain <strong>Dion Phaneuf</strong>. "Larry has always made a point of interacting with the players; he's a really good guy to talk with in any situation. I'm excited he got a bigger stake in ownership."</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Added defenseman <strong>Luke Schenn</strong> - earmarked to be captain before Phaneuf"s acquisition: "Larry is an unbelievable human being; a class act all around, and one of the nicest people I've ever met. From a player's standpoint, you couldn't ask for more out of an owner. He comes into the dressing room after all of our home games with praise after a win and words of encouragement after a loss. He does lots of great things for us and has always shown how much he cares about the team. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">"I met a few people, here and there, from the <em>Teachers' Pension Plan</em> over the years but never got to know them as anything more than a familiar face; they all seemed very businesslike. Larry is much more personable; he comes to team and charity events and is a gracious host. I'm really thrilled he's staying on."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">I had a wildly busy day here on Friday - walking (in the wrong pair of shoes) for nearly two hours after the Leafs morning skate to photograph several of the world-renowned sights here in the American capital.

<br />
<span style="color: red;">WASHINGTON (Dec. 8) - After getting flattened by a virus on the weekend and having to skip Monday's Leafs-Rangers game in New York (the flu never seems to appear before a January trip to Edmonton), it's nice to be back on the road here in the grand capital of the United States. </span><span style="color: red;">Though the Leafs have been plodding along just a notch above .500 since opening the season 4-0-1, a vastly underplayed quirk in their schedule could prove invaluable.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Upon flying home from their first visit to Winnipeg on New Year's Eve, the Leafs don't go near an airport until Jan. 23, when they make a post-game flight to Long Island. For nearly three-and-a-half weeks in what is generally considered the toughest part of the season (the post-Christmas "dog days" of January), the Toronto players will spend their nights at home. The club <em>will</em> have a busy slate of nine games at the Air Canada Centre during that period, but the only road match is a bus-ride to and from Buffalo. To boot: following the game at Nassau Coliseum on Jan. 24, Leaf players not involved in the All-Star festivities in Ottawa will have another <em>full week</em> of rest prior to a Jan. 31 encounter at Pittsburgh.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">It should come as no surprise that Toronto has not enjoyed this caliber of break at any time in the post-expansion era (since 1967); January, in fact, has often featured laborious travel. Last season, the Leafs went to Atlanta, Los Angeles, San Jose and Phoenix (Jan. 7-13). Two years ago, it was down to Washington, Nashville, Atlanta, Tampa Bay and Florida (Jan. 15-23). In 2007-08: Anaheim, Los Angeles and San Jose (Jan. 9-12). In 2005-06: Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver (Jan. 6-10); then Colorado, Minnesota and two games in Ottawa (Jan. 17-23).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Only twice since the NHL expanded from six to 12 teams have the Leafs enjoyed a period of light, mid-season travel. In 1971-72, the club played at Pittsburgh on Dec. 28 and did not fly again until a Jan. 19 game at Montreal. In between (like this year) was a bus trip to Buffalo (Jan. 9). <em>Un</em>like this year, the Leafs immediately offset the easy travel with a seven-game trip to Montreal, Minnesota, Chicago, Los Angeles, Oakland, Vancouver and Detroit (Jan. 19 to Feb. 1). In 1978-79, the Leafs of Sittler, McDonald, Salming <em>et al </em>played a road game against the Islanders (Dec. 26) and then seven in a row at home before flying to Denver on Jan. 15.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">But, 23 nights on the ground, followed by seven more of complete rest for the bulk of the team, is a luxury confined to the current Leafs... one the club must avail itself of. Luck involving roster health will obviously play a determining role, as will the Leafs ability to maintain focus on home ice. The Saturday-night games next month shouldn't be a problem with Detroit, the Rangers and Montreal in town. But, mid-week visits by Tampa Bay, Winnipeg, Buffalo, Ottawa, Minnesota and the Islanders will pose a challenge, given a penchant for snoozing on such occasions.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><strong>Ron Wilson</strong> will therefore need to be at his creative best - varying the pace and mood of practises and morning skates. Add in a break from key injuries and the much-improved Leafs could gobble up some impressive real estate in the Eastern Conference playoff race.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">TORONTO (Dec. 1) - To be clear, <strong>Ron Wilson</strong> has been dragged unwittingly into the conversation of the past 24 hours that involves former and current Anaheim coaches <strong>Randy Carlyle</strong> and <strong>Bruce Boudreau</strong>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Given that Wilson's Maple Leaf teams have not made the playoffs in his three years behind the bench - and that he refuses to play the "media game" by softening his public demeanour - the apparent countdown to his demise in this city continues despite an enormous leap in the standings, and a much-improved performance by the club through the month of November.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Both elements were paramount to Wilson surviving an early exit this season and both were executed. The Leafs have been at or near the top of the Eastern Conference and aggregate NHL standings since opening night; the club featuring players that were ranked one-two in league scoring heading into Thursday's games. Neither the overall upswing nor the lofty positions of <strong>Phil Kessel</strong> and <strong>Joffrey Lupul</strong>, however, have reflected on Wilson; not nearly to the extent that Leaf <em>failures</em> have since 2008.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Again, I think this is mainly an issue involving choice and perception. As someone pointed out earlier today, had Wilson the temperament of coaching colleague <strong>Barry Trotz</strong>, for instance, he'd likely not be spoken about in connection with Carlyle's sudden availability.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">As for Leafs GM <strong>Brian Burke</strong> <em>Tweeting</em> that his coach "isn't going anywhere", we'll take him at face-value, unless this is an example of him "lying through my teeth" to the media, which he's promised to do when required. Coincidentally, Carlyle - though of a different coaching philosophy than Wilson - isn't exactly the <em>Good Humour Man</em>, himself; Randy's tongue can cut as sharply as Ronnie's when in the "mood". Given the intensity of the Toronto hockey market, it's unlikely the Maple Leafs, under Carlyle, would present a kinder, gentler image - particularly in light of the man that would ultimately make the coaching switch.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">One thing Wilson, Carlyle and Boudreau have in common is their playing history with the Leafs. They were teammates here in Toronto during the 1977-78 NHL season, combining to register 15 goals and 45 points.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Here's the visual evidence:</span><span style="color: #0b5394;"> </span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">TORONTO (Nov. 30) - There is no question that <strong>Bobby Ryan</strong>, if available, would look terrific in a Maple Leafs jersey. Ryan is a proven scorer that can provide a team 35 goals per season and he's still only 24 years of age.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;">The difficulty in attempting to pry the right-winger away from Anaheim (apart from how the <strong>Randy Carlyle</strong>-to-<strong>Bruce Boudreau</strong> coaching change might affect the dynamic) is cost-specific: Ducks GM <strong>Bob Murray</strong> will be looking to acquire at least one young defenseman - knowing, now, that he was pilfered of <strong>Jake Gardiner</strong> in the deal last February that saw <strong>Francois Beauchemin</strong> and <strong>Joffrey Lupul</strong> switch teams. Whether or not that dissuades him from genuine shop-talk with former Anaheim boss <strong>Brian Burke</strong> remains to be determined, though Burke does have the assets Murray is seeking.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">And, that's where the Leafs GM ought to be very careful.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">With the exception of a reliable No. 1 goalie, there are no elements more precious in today's game than size and mobility on defense. Burke has one or both in virtually every blue-liner that has worn the Leafs jersey this season, and not by accident; double-B and his staff have adroitly built most of the hockey club from the goal out. <strong>Dion Phaneuf</strong>, <strong>Luke Schenn</strong>, <strong>Keith Aulie</strong>, Gardiner, <strong>Cody Franson</strong>, <strong>Carl Gunnarsson</strong> and injured veteran <strong>Mike Komisarek</strong> are 6-foot-2 or taller. Phaneuf, Schenn, Aulie and Komisarek enjoy throwing their weight around. Phaneuf, Gardiner, Gunnarsson and 5-foot-10 <strong>John-Michael Liles</strong> are adept at moving the puck. This is an enviable surplus of goods at the game's second-most important position, and a spot in which injury-depth becomes increasingly valuable throughout the season.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">Were the Leafs having difficulty scoring goals, perhaps Burke would anxiously part with a young defenseman in pursuit of Ryan. But, Toronto is scoring with the best teams in the league through the initial-third of the schedule - in large part because of its puck-advancing skill on the back end, from where the bulk of offence originates. Its defence, as a unit, is near the top of the NHL in production, an enormous improvement over the past calendar year. To sacrifice a blue-liner for yet another marksman - even one as good as Ryan - might be a lateral move, at best.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">Advice from this end would be for Burke to retain every bit of quality and depth on defence.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #20124d;">ANAHEIM (Nov. 28) - Though it is still difficult, albeit tantalising, for fans of the Maple Leafs to gauge the improvement of their team, one thing became crystal clear while sitting in the Honda Center on Sunday night: the Leafs are no longer part of the weak and feeble in the NHL.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #20124d;">The contrast between the home team and the visitors in this game was astounding. Less than half-a-decade removed from winning a Stanley Cup, the Anaheim Ducks are barely able to float anymore - the 5-2 drubbing they absorbed from the Leafs inciting constant jeers and cat-calls from an annoyed gathering said to be 13,685 (someone must have been counting legs). <strong>Randy Carlyle's</strong> moribund outfit looks frighteningly similar to the non-playoff Leaf teams of the post-lockout era, and you get the sense that hockey heads are going to roll here in the shadow of <em>Disneyland</em>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #20124d;">This is not to deny credit to the Maple Leafs, who have been able to sense when a home team is flat this season and move in for the kill. The Leafs have feasted on the Rangers, New Jersey, Columbus, Tampa Bay and Anaheim in five-such games, out-scoring the opposition, 25-9, while building a terrific 8-5-0 record on the road. They return from southern California having conquered three consecutive teams in this four-game trip to remain atop the Northeast Division by one point over Boston, though the defending champions have played two fewer games.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Toronto has the third-most points in the league (30), trailing only Pittsburgh and Chicago. A home-and-home set with the Bruins this week (Wednesday at the Air Canada Centre; Saturday in Boston) will provide a clearer indication of how the Leafs match up with the big boys. At the moment, however, I think we can all but confirm they no longer reside among the dregs.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #bf9000;">ANAHEIM (Nov. 26) - In my experience travelling throughout North America, there is nothing so spectacular as a late-autumn afternoon in southern California. Though I spend most of each summer in the San Fernando Valley, northwest of Los Angeles, the glorious weather is infinitely more appreciated at this time of year, when things are cooling off back home. A grey, windy morning in Dallas gave way to absolute perfection here in Orange County - experiencing a heat-wave for late-November, with the mercury hitting 84 degrees on Saturday afternoon.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #bf9000;">The Maple Leafs chartered here from Dallas immediately following their shoot-out victory over the Stars on Friday night. The club skated for about 40 minutes at the Honda Center earlier today, preparing for the finale of its four-game road trip against the Ducks tomorrow (Sunday) evening - a 6 p.m. face-off out here; 9 o'clock in Toronto.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #38761d;">DALLAS (Nov. 26) - Nice timing here for <strong>Joffrey Lupul</strong>. As the Leafs winger returns to Anaheim nine months after the Ducks were forced to part with him in a salary transaction, he scored the only goal of the shoot-out to give Toronto a 4-3 victory over the Dallas Stars on Friday night at the American Airlines Center.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;">The Leafs had to take Lupul's $4.25-million salary-cap hit through the 2012-13 season when they dumped <strong>Francois Beauchemin's</strong> $3.65-million ticket on Anaheim last February. The trade - most significantly - brought talented defenseman<strong> Jake Gardiner</strong> to the Leafs; the University of Wisconsin grad cracking the NHL line-up after an impressive training camp this fall.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Lupul was hoping to stick in southern California after being traded to Anaheim by Philadelphia in June 2009 as part of the deal that landed <strong>Chris Pronger</strong> with the Flyers. But, the Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta native missed 59 games of the 2009-10 season after surgery (Dec. 17, 2009) for a herniated disc in his back, and a difficult recovery beset with lengthy complications. He played in 26 games for Anaheim last year prior to the trade, and then registered 18 points in 28 games with the Leafs - all the while explaining to anyone that would listen how he would need the entire off-season to fully recover from his ordeal.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Call Lupul a man of his word.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Just past the quarter-mark of this season, Lupul stands third in NHL scoring with 27 points in 23 games, including 11 goals. He is two points behind <strong>Claude Giroux</strong> of Philadelphia and three in back of league-leader and line-mate <strong>Phil Kessel</strong>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Now, he returns to face the Ducks at the Honda Center on Sunday, hoping to prove that GM <strong>Bob Murray</strong> erred in letting him go, but also looking forward to re-acquainting with many close friends in Orange County, Calif., where he lives in the off-season. "I have no hard feelings," Lupul said.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">DALLAS (Nov. 28) - If the Leafs can beat the Dallas Stars tonight (8:40 p.m. EST face-off), they'll be guaranteed at least a split of their four-game road trip that concludes on Sunday evening in Anaheim. <strong>Jonas Gustavsson</strong> starts in goal for the third time in the past four games; Leaf fans are hoping the club continues to make life easy for the <em>Monster</em>, who breezed through 7-1 shellackings of Washington and Tampa Bay earlier this week.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b45f06;">Leafs had their morning skate at the American Airlines Center today. Afterward, I drove about a mile east of the arena to <em>Dealey Plaza</em>, famed site of the 1963 assassination of President <strong>John F. Kennedy</strong>. I'm hoping that hockey - and history - buffs will enjoy these images:</span></div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit;">Hard to believe it was 48 years ago Tuesday that American President <strong>John F. Kennedy</strong> was gunned down here in Dallas. The on-going debate over whether <strong>Lee Harvey Oswald</strong> actually killed the President (as alleged by the <em>Warren Commission Report</em> on the assassination) has kept alive the dubious moment from the time it occurred, just after 12:30 p.m. CST on Friday, November 22, 1963. I made a point of touring <em>Dealey Plaza</em> on my first-ever trip here with the Leafs in March 1995 and have rarely missed taking a stroll past the Kennedy site in my ensuing visits. As photos here indicate, people of all ages flock to the infamous location.</span></div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #073763;">DALLAS (Nov. 25) - Generally speaking, I do not equate this city with fondness of memory, for it was here - on Jan. 1, 1996 - that I received a phone-call saying my mother had died of cancer. The call from my wife, Susan, came as no surprise, as mom had taken an irreversible turn soon after I'd left on a Leafs trip to St. Louis, that continued here on New Year's Day. While the Leafs and Stars were playing a matinee at old Reunion Arena, I was heading home on a profoundly sad, gut-wrenching flight.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #073763;">To suggest, however, that Dallas makes me cringe would also be inaccurate. A hockey game here on Nov. 30, 1996 preceded - by five nights - the greatest moment and period of my life, as Susan gave birth to our first child, Shane, in the early-morning hours of Dec. 6. Of course, I had no inkling of the blessed event, as Shane's due date was Jan. 9, 1997. He arrived five weeks early... I've often believed as some form of spiritual gift from my mother that erased the pall surrounding the one-year anniversary of her death.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #073763;">Walking about <em>Dealey Plaza</em>, as I've done on almost every trip here, is eternally powerful nearly half-a-century after President <strong>John F. Kennedy</strong> was assassinated in that tiny annex of Dallas. The grassy knoll... the triple-underpass... the old <em>Texas Schoolbook Depository</em> building (from where <strong>Lee Harvey Oswald</strong> was said to have shot Kennedy)... the cement pedestal upon which <strong>Abraham Zapruder</strong> stood while legendarily filming the assassination - they all look virtually the same as on that fateful afternoon of Nov. 22, 1963. Touring the site is a must for any visitor.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #073763;">Fast-forwarding to my current trip for tonight's game at the American Airlines Center between the Leafs and Dallas Stars, I enjoyed one of the great afternoons here on Thursday. After covering Leafs practice, and writing a story for the <em>National Post</em>, I drove out to suburban Arlington with my long-time colleague at <em>The Fan-590</em> - <strong>Dan Dunleavy</strong> - now sharing the Leafs radio play-by-play chores with <strong>Joe Bowen</strong>. Dan and I attended the Dallas Cowboys annual Thanksgiving Day NFL game - this year, against Miami - at the gargantuan stadium that opened last season (and hosted the Green Bay-Pittsburgh Super Bowl in January). We had terrific seats - between the 40 and 45-yard line in the second row of the upper deck, behind the Cowboys bench - and watched a superb, back-and-forth encounter that Dallas pulled out, 20-19, on a last-play field goal.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #073763;">As per usual, my photos do most of the talking in this blog. Enjoy these images of Dallas; the Leafs off-day practice, and the Cowboys-Dolphins football game:</span></div><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #073763;">TAMPA (Nov. 22) - The Maple Leafs' goaltending flavor-of-the-week is clearly <strong>Jonas Gustavsson</strong>, and just in the nick of time.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">As if to make up for all the miserable nights in front of him the past two seasons, the Monster's Leaf teammates have gorged on the opposition during his pair of starts this week: earning identical 7-1 victories over Washington at the Air Canada Centre on Saturday and the Lightning here in Tampa on Tuesday. What a way to rescue a guy's career.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #073763;">Leafs coach <strong>Ron Wilson</strong> put Gustavsson between the pipes on Saturday for one reason and one reason <em>only</em>: the club had to play a road game at Carolina less than 24 hours later. Now, the Swedish-born goalie may be a fixture until <strong>James Reimer</strong> returns, likely sometime in the next 10 days. That relegates <strong>Ben Scrivens</strong> to No. 3 in the organization once again... at least until Gustvasson serves up another dog's breakfast. Given, however, that he could have allowed six goals in each of his starts this week and still won in regulation time, you have to think the Monster is gaining a wee bit of confidence in himself, and those around him. When the Leafs can put up a converted touchdown without a single tally from the NHL's leading goal-getter (<strong>Phil Kessel</strong>), the offense is in another realm.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #073763;"><strong>Marv Levy</strong>, the old football coach, once famously said, "Depth is great on a team, until you have to use it." Wilson may not adhere to that philosophy, given contributions the past week from such unheralded sources as <strong>Joey Crabb</strong>, <strong>David Steckel</strong>, <strong>Matt Frattin</strong>, <strong>Joe Colborne</strong> (the latter two with their first NHL goals; Colborne scoring his here in Tampa), <strong>Cody Franson</strong> (<em>his</em> first goal as a Leaf on Saturday), and <strong>Tyler Bozak</strong> - scoring twice against the Lightning, now with three goals and three assists in the past four games while centering the club's top forward unit between Kessel and <strong>Joffrey Lupul</strong>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Most of this has occurred without <strong>Mikhail Grabovski</strong>; <strong>Clarke MacArthur</strong> (who returned last night after a three-game injury absence and opened the scoring at 41 seconds of the first period); <strong>Colby Armstrong</strong>, whose tenacity often leads to opportunities for his teammates and - ostensibly - <strong>Nikolai Kulemin</strong>, who hasn't found the net in more than a month, and is stuck on two goals for the season after netting 30 a year ago.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Imagine if these guys were at full strength up front. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #073763;">Leafs have two games remaining on this trip - at Dallas and Anaheim - spread over the next five days. It will give the players a rare opportunity to catch their breath between starts.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #45818e;">TAMPA (Nov. 21) - During an up-and-down first quarter of the season, the Maple Leafs have been party to the unforeseen. Paramount among that has been the absence, since Oct. 22, of starting goalie <strong>James Reimer</strong> - and who would have predicted the Leafs to be three games above .500 without him, given that no established substitute is in the fold? On the flip side, young <strong>Ben Scrivens</strong> has become a bit of a revelation, considering his ranking as No. 1 goalie with the AHL Toronto Marlies when the season began. <strong>Jonas Gustavsson</strong> is still in goaltending purgatory, but just when so many of us were poised to write him off for good, he played very well amid an avalanche of support in Saturday night's 7-1 romp over Washington.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Just where the Leafs go from here is anyone's guess. A number of the tendencies we've seen in the non-playoff teams of the post-lockout NHL are in evidence once again... a] yielding more goals than goals scored (69-63); b] sub-par penalty killing (27th in NHL at 76.2%); c] reviving struggling opponents (Carolina was on an eight-game tailspin before the Leafs arrived in Raleigh on Sunday; Ottawa had earlier broken a long winless drought while facing the Blue & White).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #45818e;">Conversely, this Leafs team has more youth, speed and offensive flair than any in the post-lockout era. If the Hart Trophy were awarded at the quarter-pole, <strong>Phil Kessel</strong> would at least be among the finalists; quite possibly the winner, leading the NHL in goals (16, four ahead of <strong>James Neal</strong> PIT and <strong>Milan Michalek</strong> OTT) and points (29, three ahead of <strong>Claude Giroux</strong> PHI and four up on line-mate <strong>Joffrey Lupul</strong>).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e;">The latter - a salary-dump by Anaheim in the <strong>Francois Beauchemin</strong>-<strong>Jake Gardiner</strong> trade of last February - has been terrific alongside Kessel: Lupul's 10 goals tie him for 10th in the NHL with <strong>Johan Franzen</strong> DET, <strong>Jonathan Toews</strong> CHI and <strong>Jordan Staal</strong> PIT.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #45818e;">This augurs very well for the Maple Leafs...<em> if the club regains stability in goal</em>, something it flourished amid in the final third of last season. Such benefit would not have been expected in Reimer's absence; nor has it materialized. The presence of a veteran back-up may have been helpful, but would not have guaranteed stability without Reimer. Should the Leafs No. 1 netminder return healthy in the near-future [meaning an ability to stay in the line-up without a flare of concussion symptoms], he'll be fresher than most of his colleagues in the NHL and that could play an invaluable role in the second half of the schedule. Also mandatory for a sustained playoff push is the presence of forwards <strong>Mikhail Grabovski</strong>, <strong>Clarke MacArthur</strong> and <strong>Colby Armstrong</strong> - all of whom are currently sidelined. </span><span style="color: #45818e;">That Toronto has remained above the water-line without Reimer and the aforementioned trio is a credit to the club.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #45818e;">After arriving close to midnight from their game in Raleigh, the Leaf players were given the complete day off today here in Tampa. Around 1 p.m., several came down to the lobby of the team hotel and met with the usual pack of Toronto media. With apologies to those who may be shivering up north, I present to you my photos from here on the Gulf coast of Florida:</span></div><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">TORONTO (Nov. 19) - The one image <strong>Jonas Gustavsson</strong> and fans of the Maple Leafs are desperately hoping to avoid tonight is that which has been all-too familiar for the Swedish-born goalie this season: gliding to the bench forlornly in mid-game, having been pulled by head coach <strong>Ron Wilson</strong>. After dropping to third in the organization depth chart - behind <strong>James Reimer</strong> and <strong>Ben Scrivens</strong> - Gustavsson is in frantic need of a quality performance against the Washington Capitals, when he starts tonight's game at the Air Canada Centre. It's an assignment granted, by Wilson, more out of necessity than desire, as the Leafs have a 5 p.m. start tomorrow in Raleigh NC - roughly 19-and-a-half hours beyond the conclusion of tonight's match.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">With Reimer appearing to have made a bit of progress in his concussion rehab - and general manager <strong>Brian Burke</strong> telling <strong>Rosie DiManno</strong> of the <em>Toronto Star</em> this week that he no longer envisions Gustavsson a starter in the NHL - the beleaguered goalie is on very thin ice. Though Burke never guaranteed anything with Gustavsson, he spared neither effort nor expense in wooing the goalie to North America two summers ago, and would not have made such a comment at the time about Gustavsson's potential in the big league; it was clearly a response to the netminder's plummeting stock with the Leafs. Now that Scrivens is on the up-swing, it is difficult to imagine Gustavsson maintaining his back-up role once Reimer returns. That's why he must turn in a solid effort in tonight's game; another dud, and it would be no surprise if the Leafs turned to waivers with the intention of demoting him to the AHL.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Moreover, Gustavsson does not have a contract beyond this season, so rehabilitating his own reputation is doubly critical. There's no suggestion here that he can't do it - and quite a bit of hope, in fact, that he does bounce back - given the emotional and physical scars that no person his age should have to endure. But, it's time for action... pro hockey is a hard, cruel business and survival is never guaranteed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">CHARLOTTE (Nov. 18) - As I sit here in North Carolina awaiting a <em>USAirways</em> connection to Toronto, I find myself thinking about the complex temperament and personality of Leafs coach <strong>Ron Wilson</strong>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">Why am I thinking about that now? I haven't got a clue, other than to presume something topical entered my mind to mitigate the two-hour layover after flying here from Nashville. That said, it doesn't take much for a hockey observer in Toronto to form thoughts and opinions about the man that has stood behind the Leafs bench since 2008-09. Should Wilson survive the current season - devoid, as he is, of a contract extension - he'll have out-lasted every Toronto coach in the post-expansion era except <strong>Pat Quinn</strong> (Wilson will draw even with <strong>Red Kelly</strong>, who also coached the Leafs during four complete seasons in the 1970s).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">The notion of this doesn't seem remotely popular. Unlike Quinn and Kelly, of course, Wilson hasn't yet guided the Blue & White into the Stanley Cup tournament, which almost certainly contributes to the anti-Ron feeling back home. Quinn and Kelly were in the playoffs during their first seasons behind the Toronto bench - Quinn guiding the 1998-99 Leafs to the Conference final (and a five-game loss to Buffalo); Kelly taking the 1973-74 Leafs back to the Cup chase after the team's worst-ever season to that point (Leafs were swept by Boston in the opening round). Neither comparison may be valid, for it wasn't as onerous a task to <em>make</em> the playoffs back then. Otherwise, the current situation is rather</span><span style="color: #134f5c;"> elementary: Wilson will not generate affection from Leaf fans until his team advances beyond the regular schedule, nor would anyone bet a plug-nickel on him hanging around to accept scorn if <em>that</em> doesn't happen this season.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">General manager <strong>Brian Burke</strong> - with whom Wilson's fate lies - seems all but bullet-proof at the moment, though a fourth consecutive playoff miss would likely engender a fair amount of doubt in his ability to rescue the franchise. Looming, of course, is the possibility of another labor interruption next season, when the league and its players will try and hammer out a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. If the past two negotiations in the <strong>Gary Bettman</strong> regime are a guideline, I wouldn't wager a heck of a lot on a full, 82-game schedule in 2012-13. Should most or all of the season pass without a truce, Leaf fans may start forgetting the year their team last participated in the Stanley Cup hunt.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">Apart from mere technicalities, what is it about Wilson that doesn't resonate with fans of the Blue & White? We know he presents himself as less-than warm and fuzzy in front of television cameras, and virtually no fan sees him in another light. But, he is a smart hockey man; college educated, with a wide variety of interests beyond the game. If you get to know the guy at all, he's a fascinating person to chat and debate with (though I've never emerged victorious in the latter circumstance). His temperament - at least around the rink - doesn't leave room for grey area... and that appears to extend through players, media personnel and co-workers. Not that he should be vilified for such a demeanor; many others are either liked or disliked, without lukewarm consideration. But, most of them aren't in need of engendering support beyond their immediate superior - a frequent ally for coaches in big media markets.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">Wilson seems non-plussed by such a factor. He's going to either stick around or take a hike on his own terms and that isn't something to belittle. If temperament were a guiding factor in Wilson's future with the Leafs, I'm not sure which way I'd lean. Though many reading this blog only remember the two of us sniping at one another in the Air Canada Centre media lounge after a March 2009 game, I've developed what I consider to be a solid working relationship with the Leafs coach. I've learned the proper strategy in raising even the most contentious issues with him; a valuable one is to wait until the ubiquitous media mob disperses after a scrum session, so the aura of "making a scene" doesn't come into play. Such patience - I'll concede - is much easier in my current role as a Leafs blogger and part-time reporter with the <em>National Post</em> than it was during my two decades following the team around North America with a microphone for <em>The Fan-590</em>. But, it is something I worked on in my final years at the radio station.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">For whatever reason, I'm frequently asked if I like Ron Wilson. The answer - unequivocally - is "yes". Even during our famous set-to, I didn't <em>dis</em>like him; choosing to believe that he'd merely gone off his rocker for a minute or so. That circumstance - as publicly as it played out - was smoothed over less than a week later, when I ran into the Leafs coach outside the arena in Tampa and informed him - endearingly - that I thought he was nuts. When he asked what I meant, I told him there was absolutely nothing about his career as a coach in the NHL that warranted a smear of reputation, as he'd accused me. Since then, we've had no words between us and have actually enjoyed some fairly good talks in a social environment: at <strong>Cliff Fletcher's</strong> estate in Scottsdale AZ during the past two Leaf trips to Phoenix.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">The biggest dis-service he's done me - and it occurred at Fletcher's after a beer or two - was to yell at the top of his lungs "My God, who DIED in here?!" while approaching a lavatory I'd just vacated. Thankfully, only <em>I </em>heard him and knew what he was referring to - a story that prompted me to pull over convulsed in laughter when I informed my media colleagues during the ride back to suburban Glendale.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">Otherwise, I suppose Ron will ultimately be graded on his record behind the bench, which is in desperate need of rehabilitation. And, that's probably the way it <em>should </em>play out.</span></div>Howard Bergerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01802311875890472635noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321249942031101982.post-80282119365840585432011-11-17T22:57:00.000-08:002011-11-18T04:27:05.537-08:00Leafs Are Dropping Like Flies<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">By HOWARD BERGER</span></div><span style="color: #0b5394;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">NASHVILLE (Nov. 18) - Fans of the Maple Leafs may soon be able to watch the Toronto Marlies in action at the Air Canada Centre.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">It's not that the Marlies are planning to vacate Ricoh Coliseum, but rather that the Leafs are quickly exhausting their supply of healthy bodies. A reasonable facsimile of the AHL farm outfit could be on display when the Leafs host Washington Saturday night.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Already playing without No. 1 goalie <strong>James Reimer</strong> and forwards <strong>Mikhail Grabovski</strong>, <strong>Clarke MacArthur</strong> and <strong>Colby Armstrong</strong>, the Leafs went down two more skaters during Thursday night's 4-1 loss to the Nashville Predators. I was loitering outside the visitors' dressing room at Bridgestone Arena roughly 40 minutes after the game when forward <strong>Matt Lombardi</strong> and defenseman <strong>Mike Komisarek</strong> left the building with their "upper-body" injuries - as described earlier by coach <strong>Ron Wilson</strong>. At the risk of being accorded the "Feschuk" treatment, I will pass along that Lombardi - the former Predator - walked to the team bus with his left arm resting at a 45-degree angle in a sling while the well-trained Komisarek chose to hide his right hand and forearm beneath a black sport-jacket.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">If these ailments are as serious as my eyes were led to believe, the Leafs will be down six regular skaters for the game against <strong>Alex Ovechkin</strong> and the Capitals on Saturday. Compounding the issue is the start of a four-game road trip less than 24 hours later - at 5 p.m. Sunday - in Carolina that continues through Tampa, Dallas and Anaheim. There is a three-day break between the matches in Florida and Texas, but none of Reimer, Grabovski or MacArthur are expected to return before the end of the trip. And, if Lombardi's sling indicates something like a dislocated elbow, he also won't be back anytime soon.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">All of this occurs on the cusp of a three-game losing streak and a 6-7-1 record since the 4-0-1 break from the gate. The Leafs have dropped four consecutive matches on home ice. They are falling in the Eastern Conference standings. And their path - right now - is more cluttered than at any point this season.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">NASHVILLE (Nov. 17) - After his day-of-game session with the Toronto media this morning at Bridgestone Arena, I cautiously asked Maple Leafs coach <strong>Ron Wilson</strong> to explain why he's been so upset over an article published last week in the<em> Toronto Star</em>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">For those unaware, <em>Star</em> columnist <strong>Dave Feschuk</strong> phoned <strong>Marlene Reimer</strong> - mother of Leafs injured goalie <strong>James Reimer</strong> - and received information that her son had been concussed in Montreal during a goal-mouth collision with <strong>Brian Gionta</strong> 26 nights ago. Given Reimer's sporadic appearances since then, it was hardly mind-boggling news, but the Leafs considered it an affront to journalism that Feschuk would seek a family member for information - even though they steadfastly refuse to discuss the nature of injuries.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">As it turned out, I didn't have to twist the Leaf coach's arm for a reply.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">"This wasn't a story about getting background information or talking to a guy's mom; it's the second time the same reporter has used [a family member] to find out the specificity of an injury," Wilson began. "It puts a player's career at risk when you do that, which is why we don't talk about injuries. Other [players] can target people. It's the second time that reporter has gone with altruistic reasons in order to find the specificity of an injury. That's it."</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><img border="0" closure_uid_4ased9="679" hda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsqjHDdq0TJc3e6LCXYHFTVItK9V1ksHj4g02OLC7Z5HmWdnuNgInzeDwrdFMoaEc3VFyadCM1QSXbt9lcUzEG1Y1USzKfSphFr6DTZtzxva9mBc29zSUmfaEW_d1pfxjvRNY-vKx_KOM/s1600/DSCN9581.JPG" /><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: red; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">RON WILSON CHATS WITH REPORTERS THIS MORNING HERE IN NASHVILLE. HE LATER TOLD ME HE IS STILL "DISTURBED" ABOUT <em>TORONTO STAR</em> COLUMNIST DAVE FESCHUK PHONING THE MOTHER OF LEAFS GOALIE JAMES REIMER AND REPORTING "THE SPECIFICITY OF HIS INJURY."</span></strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">When I spoke with Feschuk on Wednesday, he said he did <em>not</em> phone Marlene Reimer expressly to acquire information about her son's ailment, but rather to speak with a fellow hockey parent about the angst engendered within families of players suffering from head injuries. Neither did Feschuk apologize for coming upon the news that James Reimer has been struggling with post-concussion syndrome. Wilson, however, wasn't buying it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">"I couldn't give a damn that [Feschuk] called her," Wilson barked. "But, this was about digging down and hoping to catch a vulnerable parent who will disclose something that we <em>won't</em> disclose."</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">When I suggested to Wilson that most reporters (and Leaf fans) had likely surmised the injury to be a concussion well before Feschuk's article, he countered, "We also had the specificity come out on the injury to [Leafs centre] <strong>Tim Connolly</strong>. There is not one industry person in hockey - I'm talking about coaches and general managers - that doesn't think [reporting on the Reimer and Connolly injuries] was despicable... talking to a mom or a dad about their son's injury and what's really going on <em>because the Leafs won't tell us</em>. This is all about digging for the specificity of an injury. That's what I find disturbing.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">"You tell me why [Feschuk] would call a [parent]?" Wilson continued. "The only two parents he's called this year were [those of] players who were hurt. Tell me why?"</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">A media person would suggest it's because the Leafs will <em>not</em> offer such information. "We're not obligated to give the specificity of an injury," Wilson retorted. "And, I've explained why we don't."</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">When asked if such concern about targeting a player doesn't border on paranoia, Wilson said, "Paranoia? Didn't we just see it happen [with Boston's <strong>Milan Lucic</strong> slamming into <strong>Ryan Miller</strong> and sidelining the Buffalo goalie with a concussion]? There's rules against doing that, but what's the penalty [Lucic escaped a suspension]? You can have rules all you want. In society, you pay a death penalty for murdering another person, or you go to jail for the rest of your life. But, it still happens. The rules [in hockey] aren't enough of a deterrent."</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">This dispute isn't likely to find middle-ground. Those in the media will defend the rights to freedom of speech and information, while those in the sports industry fight hard against the unveiling of what they believe is privileged or protected news. Ultimately, the public casts the final vote by choosing to pay attention.</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #073763;">NASHVILLE (Nov. 16) - As a reporter that has occasionally risen above the subject-matter of his own story, I can empathize with <strong>Dave Feschuk</strong> of the <em>Toronto Star</em>. What began as a fairly innocuous, multi-intentioned phone call to Manitoba last week has blossomed into a saga involving Canada's largest newspaper; the Toronto Maple Leafs; the filtering of information, and the varied hypotheses of journalistic integrity. Suffice to say the Leafs and "hockey people", in general, see it one way; the <em>Star </em>and unaffiliated "media people" the opposite.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">In a nutshell, here is the sequence of events:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Just more than one minute into a Saturday-night game at Montreal nearly four weeks ago, Leafs goalie <strong>James Reimer</strong> was steam-rolled at the lip of his crease by forward <strong>Brian Gionta</strong> of the Canadiens - a player with no history of administering cheap-shots. Crossing from left to right in front of the Toronto net, Gionta collided with Reimer's shoulder and head, violently dis-lodging the goalie's mask and helmet. Briefly stunned, Reimer took a moment to regain his senses and continued playing for the balance of the period. When he complained, during the intermission, of what the Leafs described as "neck soreness" and a "whiplash-type" effect, doctors pulled Reimer; the visitors turning to back-up <strong>Jonas Gustavsson</strong>; coach <strong>Ron Wilson</strong> suggesting afterward to reporters it probably wasn't a serious injury.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Save for the occasional practice; morning skate and press-box appearance, it's the last we've seen of arguably the Leafs most important player.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">During an era in which the scrutiny of head and neck ailments in hockey has finally risen to a commensurate level - driven by the absence, since last January, of the game's top player - it hardly requires a Medical Doctorate to gather when a concussion has been sustained. The major determining factors are precisely those which have beset Reimer: an absence far beyond what is reasonable for a muscle strain in the neck (or any other part of the body), and sporadic participation in on-ice activity. The latter is most significant, for it indicates a recurrence of concussion trademarks (headache, nausea, vision irregularity) during strenuous activity. Many athletes have considered themselves fit to resume such activity, only to be stopped in their tracks by a flare-up of symptoms. Reimer has been on the ice with his teammates only three or four times since the collision with Gionta - virtually assuring he has post-concussion syndrome.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">In and of itself, this is hardly a matter of curiosity or contention. Not so many years ago, a hockey team's "trainer" - usually a person devoid of medical acumen - would split open a capsule of ammonium carbonate and wave it beneath the nostril of a woozy player. This "smelling-salt" compound would arouse the player toward consciousness - often without sacrificing a shift. More recently, such therapy was found to be the equivalent of putting a drugstore <em>BandAid</em> on a surgical wound. In the interim, professional and amateur sports teams have been lauded for their keen application of the rising standards that govern head trauma. Had the Leafs simply informed the media - and, therefore, the public - that Reimer incurred a concussion in Montreal, nary a peep would have been uttered in protest or bewilderment. Instead, the team maintained a nebulous position - acknowledging concussion-like symptoms only after it became obvious.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Now, this isn't to single out the Leafs for shrouding or filtering information; such practice has become routine throughout much of professional sport. It is one of the few control mechanisms still available to teams in the age of Internet and mass media. Unfortunately <em>for</em> these clubs, the concurrent growth of competition among media outlets has largely offset such measures.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">This was proven beyond a doubt last week, when Feschuk made a telephone call to the home in Morweena, Manitoba where Reimer grew up. In a conversation with <strong>Marlene Reimer</strong> - the goalie's mom - Feschuk was assured of what most of us already assumed: that her son had received a concussion in Montreal and was unable to exert himself. The Maple Leafs viewed this as something of a witch-hunt, and Feschuk's name turned to mud. Wilson and GM <strong>Brian Burke</strong> were beside themselves over the temerity of Feschuk to seek alternate means - conveniently overlooking that the informant had the prerogative to deny any-such request. That Mrs. Reimer chose to speak openly and honestly to Feschuk became a blight on the reporter.</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>DAVE FESCHUK (WEARING GLASSES) COVERS LEAFS GAME AT NEW JERSEY NOV. 2.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">After arriving here in Nashville on Wednesday afternoon, I called Feschuk at home and wondered how he viewed the week-long dispute. "To be honest, I don't want this to drag on any further because I hate it when [a member of] the media becomes the story," he said. "I stand by what I wrote last week and am proud of it. My colleague, <strong>Damien Cox</strong>, defended the journalistic view as well as anyone possibly could in [Wednesday's] newspaper. It's important to me that people know I showed up at [Leafs] practice the day after the story appeared and spoke with James Reimer - face-to-face - for 20 minutes. I've also talked several times with Brian Burke. So, I'm not ducking responsibility."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Feschuk also contends the Leafs have distorted his motive for calling the Reimer home. "This wasn't a muck-raking exercise intended to out-smart the Leafs on information control," he insisted. "I wanted to speak with the mother of a significant player about the angst surrounding head injuries. I'm a hockey parent, too, and I talk to many other parents at the rink each week. Obviously, I didn't mind coming upon something newsworthy in the course of that discussion. But, it wasn't my sole motive for making the call."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">Through all of this, fans of the Maple Leafs merely want an indication as to when the club's key figure might be ready to return. Ironically, and though it sounds like avoidance, Wilson has been dead-honest in replying that he simply doesn't know.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #073763;">After all, how could he accurately assume the course of post-concussion syndrome.</span></div>Howard Bergerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01802311875890472635noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321249942031101982.post-80085606238327600762011-11-14T21:39:00.000-08:002011-11-14T21:47:54.139-08:00Hockey Faces on Hall of Fame Night<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #351c75;">By HOWARD BERGER</span></div><span style="color: #351c75;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #351c75;">TORONTO (Nov. 14) - I felt rather vibrant during the prelude to Monday night's Hockey Hall of Fame induction ceremony, yet my life still flashed before my eyes. Or so it seemed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">With the ubiquitous red carpet laid out in the foyer of the Yonge-Wellington Centre, players, executives and coaches from every era of my nearly-53 years walked past into the Hall. So many had connections to the Maple Leafs... from childhood heroes <strong>Johnny Bower</strong>, <strong>Andy Bathgate</strong>, <strong>Red Kelly</strong> and <strong>Marcel Pronovost</strong>; to those I cheered for as a teenager from Sec. 30 of the South Mezzanine Blues in Maple Leaf Gardens (<strong>Borje Salming</strong>, <strong>Lanny McDonald</strong>), to a number of the players I covered during my years at <em>The Fan-590</em> (<strong>Curtis Joseph</strong>, <strong>Gary Roberts</strong>, <strong>Mike Gartner</strong>, <strong>Todd Warriner</strong>, <strong>Mathieu Schneider</strong>, <strong>Jeff O'Neill</strong>)... they all made their way along the red carpet and paused to say hello.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #351c75;">Of course, three others that skated for the Blue & White during my radio years were inducted into the Hall of Fame: <strong>Doug Gilmour</strong>, <strong>Joe Nieuwendyk</strong> and <strong>Ed Belfour</strong>. The fourth inductee - <strong>Mark Howe</strong> - was a junior star here in town with the Toronto Marlboros, helping the club to the 1973 Memorial Cup.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #20124d;">TORONTO (Nov. 13) - There were celebrations all through the Air Canada Centre until the final buzzer of the Maple Leafs-Ottawa game Saturday night. Most fans in the building - fortunate to have tickets for the annual Hall of Fame festivities - left despondently after a third consecutive home loss for the Leafs: 5-2 (the final score fattened by a pair of empty-net goals in the waning moments). If the Leafs are going to end their franchise-record playoff drought, the ACC will have to be a much-less inviting place than in the past week, when the club preceded the Ottawa failure with calamities against Florida and Boston.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Next chance to break the slide comes Tuesday night, with Phoenix in town.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: red;">TORONTO (Nov. 12) - Hockey fans lucky enough to be at the Air Canada Centre tonight will undoubtedly witness one of the longest, loudest and most heart-felt ovations in the arena's 12-year history. When <strong>Doug Gilmour</strong> is introduced by P.A. announcer <strong>Andy Frost</strong>, the ACC audience will rise as one to salute the greatest Leafs player of all time over a limited, yet remarkable juncture. Among four players being inducted on Monday into the Hockey Hall of Fame, Gilmour will draw a standing cheer for his unparalleled exploits on behalf of the Maple Leafs in the spring playoff runs of 1993 and 1994 - astoundingly creeping up on two decades past. His regular and post-season statistical achievements remain club standards:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: red;"><strong><span style="color: black;">*</span></strong>95 assists and 127 points [1992-93].</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: red;"><strong><span style="color: black;">*</span></strong>25 assists and 35 points [in 21 games of the '93 playoffs].</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: red;"><strong><span style="color: black;">*</span></strong>Six assists in one game [Feb. 13, 1993 at the Met Center in Bloomington MN during 6-1 win over the North Stars - tying <strong>Walter (Babe) Pratt's</strong> team record].</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: red;">A banner depicting Gilmour's No. 93 jersey hangs from a girder in the ACC, among franchise legends honored by the Maple Leafs. The headlines, photos and stories featured below stand as a testament to Gilmour's brilliant leadership throughout the intoxicating 21-games-in-42-nights Stanley Cup challenge of 1993. Though you have to be nearing 30 years of age to recall that six-week drive - ended by <strong>Wayne Gretzky</strong> and the Los Angeles Kings in Game 7 of the Campbell Conference final at Maple Leaf Gardens - those fortunate enough (like yours truly) to have attended each of the 21 matches find a way to keep the memory vibrant. It will only be eclipsed when the hockey club finally ends its long championship drought.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: red;">That said, a more objective appraisal of Gilmour's Hall-of-Fame career would likely <em>not</em> focus on the spring of '93. Instead, it would date four years earlier - to the successful 1989 Stanley Cup pursuit of the Calgary Flames - after which many still believe Gilmour was robbed of the <em>Conn Smythe Trophy</em> by teammate <strong>Al MacInnis</strong>. Of course, this is no blight on MacInnis - a Hall-of-Famer, himself - whose blistering slapshot and powerplay orchestration with defense-mate <strong>Gary Suter</strong> contributed largely to the Flames triumph (he led all playoff participants with 24 assists and 31 points). It's just that every time a big goal needed to be scored that spring, Gilmour was invariably the last man to touch the puck. He counted 11 goals and 22 points in as many games and almost all of his markers either rescued or put Calgary over the top</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: red;">"No one came through for us in big moments more often than Dougie did that spring," recalls <strong>Cliff Fletcher</strong>, GM of the Cup-winning Flames; later to acquire Gilmour from his former team as manager of the Blue White. "I don't think he had a bad shift through that entire playoff run. 'Crispy' [Calgary coach <strong>Terry Crisp</strong>] put him on the ice in every key situation."</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: red;">And that's why Gilmour, himself, would likely define his career by the 1989 conquest, rather than the eye-popping, largely-unexpected challenge of '93 with the Leafs that fell five games short of completion. It is always the athlete's ultimate and primary goal to play for a championship team and the Flames would not have won the '89 Stanley Cup <em>without</em> Gilmour.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: red;">Therefore, in spite of the images below, his achievement in red and gold stands by itself.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;">ST. LOUIS (Nov. 11) - After his hockey club applied a clamp to what seemed like a near-fatal hemorrhage, Maple Leafs coach <strong>Ron Wilson</strong> turned to a coveted theme.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;">Having chosen <strong>Ben Scrivens</strong> to start in goal for last night's game against the St. Louis Blues - mainly because <em>someone</em> had to man the position - Wilson teed off on reporters in the wake of a 3-2 shoot-out victory at the Scottrade Center in which Scrivens rebounded from embarrassing performances on home ice against Boston and Florida. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: inherit;">“Everybody, you know, they build a statue, they knock it down and piss on it, and now they will be out there building it again,” Wilson snarled, referring to the rave reviews accorded Scrivens after prevailing in his first NHL start last week in Columbus. That Scrivens and goaltending partner <strong>Jonas Gustavsson</strong> came unglued in the losses to the Bruins and Panthers (by an aggregate 12-1 count) provided last night's decision the aura of a coin-flip. “You have to be reasonable," the coach continued. "[Scrivens] is a young kid; if he starts [against Ottawa on Saturday], hopefully he's a little more focused.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">When asked if Scrivens will <em>indeed</em> get the nod, Wilson replied, "Why not phone his <em>mom</em> and find out?" - a derisive reference to a column in Thursday's <em>Toronto Star</em>, in which <strong>Dave Feschuk</strong> spoke with <strong>Marlene Reimer</strong>, the mother of Leafs injured No. 1 goalie <strong>James Reimer</strong>. In the article, Mrs. Reimer all but confirmed what the Leafs have refused to admit: that her son sustained a concussion when his helmet-mask was dislodged in a goal-mouth collision nearly three weeks ago with Montreal's <strong>Brian Gionta</strong>. Wilson did not take kindly to Feschuk calling the parent of his starting netminder, though the Leafs coach understands he has no authority over such matters. Of course, were the hockey club more transparent about injuries and ailments, close relatives may not <em>need</em> to be consulted.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">Whatever the case, you could sense the relief in the visitors' dressing room after the shoot-out win over the Blues - Toronto's third consecutive road triumph. <strong>Phil Kessel</strong> scored the lone goal in the penalty-shot phase, while Scrivens thwarted <strong>Alex Steen</strong>, <strong>T.J. Oshie</strong> and <strong>Matt D'Agostini</strong>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">It's possible that defenseman <strong>Mike Komisarek</strong> could be sidelined after getting slashed in the wrist by veteran<strong> Jason Arnott</strong> of the Blues. The pain was severe enough for Komisarek to be sent for an X-ray; the hockey club will be quite relieved if he did not sustain a fracture.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">ST. LOUIS (Nov. 10) - No matter which goalie was chosen to start tonight's game against the St. Louis Blues, one element was squarely in his corner: there is no act to follow.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;">Leafs coach <strong>Ron Wilson</strong> settled on <strong>Ben Scrivens</strong>, which is probably no better, or worse, a call than <strong>Jonas Gustavsson</strong>. And, that's the problem at the moment with the Blue & White: neither choice was likely to overjoy fans of the hockey club, or instill pre-game confidence among teammates. As mentioned in this corner last night, however, the dreadful results at home against Boston and Florida should not preclude Scrivens from bouncing back strongly at the Scottrade Center. The rookie played with poise; confidence; even a bit of swagger, on the road in Columbus last week before losing all three elements at home. Be it Scrivens, Gustavsson, or <strong>John Doe</strong> between the pipes, <em>someone </em>needs to make a timely stop for the Leafs.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #bf9000;">I asked Wilson after the morning skate today whether the deluge of soft goals scored by the Bruins and Panthers has fractured the team's confidence. "It's inevitable that [the other players] will worry a bit about what's happening behind them, but they can't focus on that," Wilson replied. "Goalies don't score, and we only got one goal in the two games at home. So, it's best for each player to concentrate on his own job and play better in <em>front</em> of the goalie. That's the only approach we can take."</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #bf9000;">Another useful approach would be to sharpen focus after a goal is scored by the opposition. On four separate occasions the past couple of games - three against Boston - the Leafs gave up goals within seconds of each other. That's a bizarre statistic and is almost certainly related to the gloom that prevails after a softy goes in. The players likely remind one another to "stay focused" and to "not let it bother us", but it's easier said than done.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #bf9000;">Scrivens has to put a cork in that trend tonight.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #bf9000;">It was a beautiful day here in St. Louis; if not a bit cool and windy. Please enjoy my photos from the Leafs morning skate and an early-afternoon stroll to the Gateway Arch.</span></div><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">ST. LOUIS (Nov. 10) - In a hockey-crazed region, six days can present an astounding contrast. To wit: after the Maple Leafs knocked off the Blue Jackets in Columbus last Thursday - 24 hours removed from winning at New Jersey - the team was lauded by its fan-base for possessing organizational depth in goal. As the Leafs rested here in St. Louis last night for their clash with the Blues, many of the same followers were begging for <strong>Marty Turco</strong>. So much for organizational depth.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">This isn't surprising. While <strong>Jonas Gustavsson</strong> and <strong>Ben Scrivens</strong> delivered the consecutive-night road victories last week, they followed with performances that suggested inebriation. Though it's impossible to believe they came to the Air Canada Centre nursing hangovers, Gustavsson and Scrivens yielded goals against Boston and Florida that <strong>Vesa Toskala</strong> would have stopped on a bad night. Even our pal <strong>Andrew Raycroft</strong> might have smothered the dribbling backhand feed from the corner that somehow fooled Scrivens late in the Florida game.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">So, <em>now</em> what?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">NHL by-laws stipulate the Leafs must have a live person dressed in goaltending equipment when the puck is dropped at the Scottrade Center tonight (8 p.m. EST). For <strong>Ron Wilson</strong>, that decision could be more painful than choosing between a colonoscopy and root-canal. At least, sedation is administered during those procedures. Wilson has to pick a netminder while fully conscious.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Of course, this doesn't preclude either goalie from rebounding against the Blues. It's just that confidence on a hockey team is incapable of withstanding disability between the pipes. Nothing destroys emotion so quickly and agonizingly as a soft goal. When eight or nine such tallies are permitted during a two-game span, weeks of progress can be neutralized. That's why fans of the Maple Leafs - basking in the delirium of first place last Thursday - are now paralyzed with apprehension.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">While traveling here yesterday - with a change of planes in Chicago - I sent out a <em>Tweet</em> asking for questions or comments about the Blue & White. As such, I have interspersed several of your queries with my photographs of arriving in St. Louis late in the afternoon.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">This was a frequent stop during my early years covering the Leafs, when the club played in the Western Conference. The decade between 1986 and 1996 saw the Leafs and Blues square off in five playoff series, while facing one another six times during the regular season. Today, the teams meet just once per season, alternating annually between here and Toronto.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Leaf fans with a blessedly short memory may not recall the horror at the Scottrade Center on Feb. 12, 2010. In a game overshadowed that night by the Opening Ceremony of the Vancouver Winter Olympics, the Leafs gave up two shorthanded goals and were gutted, 4-0, by the Blues, falling to 19-31-11 on the season.</span></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><strong>QUESTION FROM READERS JUDY AND DAVE</strong>: Howard, why doesn't Leafs management admit that James Reimer suffered a concussion?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><strong>A. </strong>Probably because it's a foregone conclusion. It would not be inconceivable for a player to miss three weeks with a neck injury (as the Leafs have frequently described it). The giveaway here is that Reimer has made intermittent appearances at practice, suggesting that physical exertion is bringing about a recurrence of concussion symptoms. As most are aware, the NHL has wisely adopted strict protocol for dealing with head and neck injuries, and Leaf fans may remember that Reimer sustained a blow to the head in Atlanta late last season during a collision in the goal-crease with <strong>Evander Kane</strong>. So, the club is playing it safely and smartly with its No. 1 netminder. As to the meat of your question, I have no idea why the Leafs refuse to be more up-front. The team's loyal fan-base is obviously concerned about Reimer and I can't see the slightest harm in revealing the nature of his injury, or the logical reasons why its medical staff is demonstrating caution.</span></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><strong>READER JAMIE SENDS A QUESTION ALL THE WAY FROM KAMPALA, UGANDA</strong>: I am in Africa for work and have not been able to see any [Leaf] games this year, though I try to keep up-to-date on-line. In your opinion, is the Reimer injury serious enough for <strong>Brian Burke</strong> to make a move for a more solid back-up goalie? It doesn't seem as if the Leafs will go anywhere without a remedy between the pipes. Even when Reimer returns, I'm not confident that Jonas Gustavsson can be trusted, or that Ben Scrivens is of caliber to play in the NHL.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><strong>A.</strong> Gustavsson and Scrivens didn't appear of caliber to play in the <em>East Coast</em> League against Boston and Florida. That said, I'm not sure it's time to begin parachuting over-the-hill veterans into town... unless the Leafs are secretly aware that Reimer may not return in the foreseeable future. But, given the unpredictability of concussion rehab, the club may not have a true handle on Reimer's situation. To me, the wild-card here is Gustavsson. No one expected Scrivens to play in the NHL this season (perhaps, not at all), and everyone went a trifle loopy after the win at Columbus. Gustavsson came into the season as the acknowledged back-up to Reimer and I think the Leafs have to stay with him a bit longer. He has that European awkwardness, which is more observation than criticism, as many goalies from overseas require adjustment to the smaller ice surface in North America - particularly beside the net, where space and geometry can be disorienting. The argument <em>against</em> Gustavsson is that he probably should have gotten it by now. Though his NHL career has been interrupted by injury and illness, he's played enough minutes for the Leafs to demonstrate more polish - especially while handling the puck. But, he also has a quick glove-hand and good reflexes for a lanky netminder. Therefore, I think the Leafs should run with him in Reimer's absence. Wilson, however, knows he doesn't have the luxury of enduring another fatal November swoon. That's one of the reasons the coach has been quick with the hook so far. The 9-3-1 early-season cushion was very important, and it may not - as such - be time to execute a goaltending airlift. But, that will change if the ugliness between the pipes continues for another game or two.</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><strong>JASON FROM EARLTON, ONT. WRITES</strong>: Hey, Howard, before I ask my question, let me take a moment to compliment you on the photo-blog you've been posting. I love the pictures of the travel, arenas, etc. - it gives us fans a glimpse behind the scenes. Now my question: since Brian Burke took over the Leafs, we've heard about a so-called "change of attitude" in the dressing room. Could you elaborate on the differences between the current team and those of the past?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><strong>A.</strong> First, thank-you for your kind words on the blog, Jason. That is my precise goal: to take readers "along with me" - showing them NHL cities from above and below, while calling upon memories of traveling with the Leafs for much of the past 20 years. In the coming weeks, you will see a new website with a more polished and professional look, but still featuring the images that have grown popular early in the season. It is difficult for a reporter to accurately gauge the temperament and interpersonal climate in the dressing room, as players don't often let their guard down in the presence of media. What we <em>do</em> know is that this has become, without exception, Burke's team, as the GM has executed a complete overhaul during his three-year term. If anything, it gives the players a sense of belonging that those inherited by Burke and Wilson did not have. Otherwise, the dressing room environment is always at the mercy of performance and result. When both are good, it's a wonderful place to be. When not, it suffers. In that regard, it isn't substantially different from the office environment of any business.</span></div><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">TORONTO (Nov. 8) - Hockey folklore abounds in this city, where no correlation exists between a 44-year Stanley Cup drought and the appetite for our national game.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Be it a cold, damp arena before sunrise in winter's interminable grip, or a jammed Air Canada Centre bathed in florescence on a Saturday night, hockey governs the social fabric. Amid this environment, one person stands ubiquitously above the fray as the most recognizable and beloved ambassador of the sport: <strong>Johnny Bower </strong>- celebrating his 87th birthday today, but with the drive and energy of a person half that age.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Whereas names and faces of those having worn the Leafs jersey in the '80s and '90s are either forgotten or without renown, Bower prevails - transcending both gender and generation. More than 40 years after hanging up his goalie pads - he played his final game on Dec. 10, 1969, in Montreal - the native of Prince Albert, Sask. remains the primary face; the conscience of - and connection to - the Leafs last encounter with glory. He stood resolutely between the pipes during the Stanley Cup reign of <strong>Punch Imlach</strong> in the 1960s - the central figure on four championship teams in a six-year span (1962-63-64 and '67).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">In the first triumph, an injury compelled Bower to share goaltending chores with <strong>Don Simmons</strong>. For the latter, he combined magnificently with fellow Hall-of-Famer<strong> Terry Sawchuk</strong>. Otherwise, <em>he</em> was the last line of defense: recurrently acknowledged, by Imlach, as the club's most vital; least exchangeable component.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">But, Johnny Bower the athlete - as marvelous as he was - is dwarfed by Johnny Bower the person. "He might be the nicest man walking the Earth today," <strong>Pat Quinn</strong> once told me during his reign as GM and coach of the Leafs (1998-2006). Quinn and Bower were teammates during the 1968-69 and 1969-70 seasons - the former, a young, smash-mouth defenseman; the latter, a kindly legend in his own time, whose vision led to an impromptu change of plans. "I retired because I couldn't see anymore," Bower chuckles when asked why he left the game midway through the '69-70 season, at the tender age of 45.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Peering today through glasses thick enough to find <em>Comet</em> <em>Halley</em>, Bower hardly presents the figure of a man that once stood at the forefront of his profession. He is simply the longest-serving Leaf of all time - having been with the franchise as a player, scout, goaltending coach and ambassador for more than 53 years.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Invariably, whenever a charity; a service group; a minor-hockey organization or a sports collector's show requests a member of the Leafs' alumni, Bower's name is mentioned. He has never learned the meaning of "no". Most octogenarians - if blessed both physically and mentally - wouldn't dream of assuming Bower's schedule. But, the greatest of all Leaf goalies refuses to slow down. "John can't sit in a chair for more than 10 minutes," says Nancy, his wife of 63 years (their anniversary celebrated last Friday).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">As such, there was Bower, exiting the back of a limousine on Sunday afternoon in north-Toronto - called upon by a group raising funds for <em>Sick Kids Hospital</em>. The neighborhood had been buzzing for more than a week about its celebrated visitor and nearly 300 residents flocked to a home on Ramblewood Dr. to greet the fabled Leaf.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;">Who else but a man creeping up on 90 would then be in Calgary the following day - a guest of the new <em>Canadian Sports Hall of Fame</em>?</span></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: inherit;">Numerous balding men - grandfathers today; teenagers during the Leafs dynasty of the '60s - swab layers of dust off old hockey souvenirs to line up for Bower's autograph. But, the children... born three <em>decades</em> after the goaltender's retirement, confound with their starry-eyed gazes; squirming amid one another to reach the front of the autograph queue. Ask them about <strong>Doug Gilmour</strong>, <strong>Wendel Clark</strong> or <strong>Mats Sundin</strong> and eyebrows raise with uncertainty. Johnny Bower, they know. <em>Everyone</em> knows Johnny Bower, because he has made it his life's ambition to stay connected with Leaf fans of all ages; to give back a little something here; a little something there, for the adoration so richly earned in his playing days. Watching Johnny with the young ones - so gentle; so accommodating - you wonder if there ever can be another of his ilk.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
