Hockeyhead

Poor Patrice Bergeron, I’m serious about this.  The NHL has a serious head injury problem.  Bergeron missed almost all of last season with concussion problems, and he’s back on the IR now.  It’s the league’s responsibility to address not only hits to the head, but the overgrowth of the players.  Gary Bettman believes the NHL does not have a steroid problem, but offers no explanation on why the players have become bigger than wrestlers.  Tighten up.

Vesa Toskala will have a few days of rest due to a wonky groin, he could use it considering he’s been nothing but a bag-of-holes all season.  Justin Pogge will certainly get a shot with the Leafs; he’s been called up and Cujo couldn’t stop a ball of socks.

This can no longer go unnoticed:  I told you (Sponge Bob MacKenzie) that the Canucks had the best shot at Mats Sundin.  You call yourself an insider, give me your salary you bastard.

On Tonight: Anaheim and Vancouver have identical records.  They square off tonight in Van-City and the Canucks are looking to bounce back from a loss versus Chicago.  I like the Canucks to come out on top in this one.
