Giguere Will Fit Right In

I was just looking over at his W-L-OTL stats. 4-8-5. 5 overtime losses. Awesome. In all seriousness, of course, overtime losses can be a little random, especially with that damned shootout rule they added to appease the rednecks. But still, he'll fit right - hey, he just got a shutout? That can't be right! I thought that the post-lockout rules stated that goalies are not allowed to get shutouts in a Leafs uniform. Wait, you say he wasn't in a Leafs uniform?

I think we should let him keep his semi-ducks uniform until further notice. Yeah, that'll do it. I didn't see the whole game, but the fact that the three new guys were anointed the three stars seems kind of cheesy to me (I don't know if these were the same 3 stars as chosen during the game, but whatever). But I'm sure most Leafs fans enjoy that kind of cheese. New players!!!1 Playoffs!!!1

I'm not sure what to make of the trade yet, except this: their third best forward is... Lee Stempniak? That's not exactly depth on offense. And when you're giving up over 3 goals a game, that could be a problem. If Phaneuf ends up remembering how to be good and stuff, then it'll end up working out, of course. Oh yeah, and they got that prospect, which I guess is good, especially since the Leafs won't be picking much in the first round for the next couple of years.
