Dear Players With Questionable NHL Talent, After our game with Dallas Saturday night, I wanted to set the record straight with all you cement heads who sit at the end of the bench most of the night. I understand your role in the game and the fact that you're trying to provide for yourself and your family like the rest of us. I get it. But the next time I see an asshole like Steve Ott come after my...

Browse more photos » I wasn't on the ice, so I can't say for certain that the referees made a series of bad calls against the Blues tonight, but I can say this: anytime your team is guilty every time the whistle blows, it affects your game.

Penguins forward Mike Rupp (above, with another former Devil, Cam Janssen) talked to Rich Chere of the Newark Star-Ledger about playing his former team, the Devils, tonight. Rupp admitted it would be weird playing a team he spent the bulk of his career with. Rupp also suggested the 2009-10 Penguins might be the best team he's played with. That's a pretty strong statement considering Rupp played with...

Well, last night the Leafs managed to do everything but win. Details, details.... There was a lot to like in last night's game. Kaberle was playing like we haven't seen since Cam Janssen re-arranged his noggin. Stalberg made a bunch of great plays and showed a lot of speed. I'll be making the unjustified and unfair Stalberg LotD comparison later. The goals weren't really Toskala's fault, said coach...

As you may have noticed, the Maple Leafs have finally entered the Brian Burke era. Sure, he's been around since last November, but only now are we seeing a team that plays the sort of game Burke wants. And as you may have noticed, that means the occasional scrap. So this seems like as good a time as any to take a look back on some of the great fights in the Leafs history. (As always on DGB, "Leafs...
