SportsFilter: The Thursday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Informative tidbit about the seldom used "inciting" penalty.

Two guarantees about Leafs - they fall from the trees each autumn and from the playoff race each spring.
Apparently Brian Burke figures another goaltender is the answer. I watch as few Leafs games as possible, but from those it appears obvious they'd be much better off investing in a steady defenseman and a forward or 2 who has some focus on the defensive end of the ice.
