what happened to Armstrong? I know he took a beating from Seidenberg of all people last night.

Well, while we're at it, what happened to Lupul?

Armstrong benefited from being one of Crosby's first productive linemates before everyone realized Crosby could make a muskrat into a productive winger. From there he went to Atlanta where he manaed a 22-goal season with the likes of Ilya Kovalchuk and Bryan Little (who hit his career high 31 goals that same season) followed by a 15-goal season. So naturally Burke thought he could do this sort of thing without elite linemates or much in the way of scoring depth, so he signed the guy to a fairly pricey contract...whoops. Trying to play through a concussion this season only made matters worse.

As for Lupul, well, it could be a combination of finally recovering from a major back injury and the humiliation he suffered on reality television that finally prompted him to get his act together. It's quite shocking actually that he managed to get this far into the season before finally getting injured.

But yeah...this is pretty much the end of the road for the Leafs this season. This will definitely be the most important offseason of Burke's career. If he doesn't make the playoffs NEXT year it'll be his job in jeopardy. Duhatschek says the Leafs are close. Frankly I'm not sure of that at all.

Joe Colbourne: 18 points in last 40 AHL games. Reportedly looking lazy.

Apparently the Leafs are planning on riding out Gustafsson to 'see what he's got'. Well, in case you haven't seen enough already... here are Gustafsson's comparables for the past decade, from @67sound on Twitter. Goalies with more than 2000 saves and less than a .905 SV%.

Side note, this is the only list ever found that Rick DiPietro leads in games played.

Today is all about the Leafs for me apparently. This is brilliant considering the title of this thread:

http://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/2012/ ... no-we-cant

I think we can close this thread now.

You know what? I think it is indeed time to close this thread now that Burke's first "term" is over with. Feel free to begin something new.
