We looked like a hockey team tonight. That was nice, we should do more of it.

TORONTO -- Toronto Maple Leafs forward Jason Blake has been diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia.
Blake announced Monday that he has chronic myelogenous leukemia, a slow-growing cancer of the white blood cells. He issued a statement on the team's website.
"It is highly treatable and I have begun taking a pill on a daily basis that has proven to be very effective in controlling this cancer," Blake said in the statement. "The prognosis, and certainly the expectations of my physician, myself and my family, is that I will live a long, full and normal life."
Blake is in no immediate danger and shouldn't miss any playing time, according to team doctors. He has already started treatment.
"This situation will not impact my ability to live my life as I otherwise would, and will not affect my ability to perform at my highest level for the Toronto Maple Leafs," Blake said. "I'm looking forward to my first season with the Leafs and helping our club compete for the Stanley Cup."
The 34-year-old native of Moorhead, Minn., signed a US$20-million, five-year deal with the Leafs in the off-season. The four-time 20-goal scorer had 40 goals and 29 assists last year with the New York Islanders.
The team said that while Blake's on-ice performance won't be affected, they will be mindful of his condition.
"Jason will be able to continue to play fully with the team and will be monitored closely by both the team's physician and his CML specialist," team doctor Noah Forman said.

That sucks about Blake. Afterall, he's the only good change and fresh for the Maple Leafs at the moment. But my team is doing in' well, Washington is 2-0-0 already, off to a good start, Alexander chipped his tooth, and whatnot. It's a good life.

Yeah Perry's a bum. He can't fight. I remember when he faught Mike Richards in 2005. It was rather entertaining. They decided to skate up to centre ice first to get it going. Aww how I miss 2005. (Incase you don't know. The 2005 London Knights were the best team in Junior hockey that year. Going 59-7-2 in the regular season. Eventually winning the Memorial Cup Oh, and they also started the season out by going 29-0-2. Longest streak to start a season without a loss. Oh btw this is the Perry vs Richards fight. It was the Third round of the playoffs that year. Speaking of Corey Perry, I used to go to High School with him.. He was only there for about a year and half. I remember the time when he got beat up in the boys locker room after gym, Perry was just getting WAILED on by this other guy.. Of course, Corey was such a ing prick which made me sour towards him forever pretty much, and it was great seeing him getting his ass beat up.

Speaking of fighting, I don't know that I've seen someone who beats as much ass as Derek Boogaard.
- What a nasty mofo. This poor bastard just gets smoked.

It's nice knowing that you don't have to flinch every time Toronto's opponents take a shot. The past two years, it was terrifying to see anyone take shots on them. Toskala's numbers won't be as good as they were in San Jose, but he has a pretty poor defense in front of him in Toronto. But otherwise, I think he'll be great for the Leafs this year. The team isn't spectacular, but Toskala seems like he can win them games. Something Raycroft is incapable of.

Toskala was great both nights, especially in Ottawa, he gave them a chance to win, and Sat night against Montreal he was amazing, especially in OT. And borden, I just realized we both have the same pic in our sig

Toskala made 32 saves. Seven goals, but the defense was making mistakes all night. I'm not placing all the blame on Toskala. Blake was also just diagnosed, and regardless of how it's treatable and he's alright, that'll still affect the team. Like when Lindy's daughter had a tumour and the Leafs stomped on Buffalo a couple of seasons ago, when they had absolutely no business in doing so. It was that one game right after the news that noticeably affects the team.
I'm not losing faith in Toskala. I'm thinking positively about it - it could have been Raycroft in net. That would have been much worse.

Now I wonder why the hell didn't Maurice pull Toskala though, I woulda pulled him after the fourth goal...
Oh hell, It was totally a Category Seven in Toronto last night.

Yeah now I can say the same thing to you lk. "lol at the nucks". It's funny how the two Canuck fans I know were all over me the other night when the Leafs lost 7-1, yet, tonight they're not saying anything at all
