from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,

- Who will be coaching in the NHL next? Alain Vigneault? Joel Quenneville? Sheldon Keefe? Dallas Eakins? Darryl Sutter? Maybe Eakins in Anaheim. Maybe Keefe in Ottawa. Maybe Vigneault somewhere else — maybe in Ontario? There should be lots of interest in him.

- Buffalo will miss the playoffs for the eighth straight year, the fourth straight with Jack Eichel on board. Can’t believe Phil Housley will be back next season to coach the Sabres. Carolina has missed nine years in a row but is looking like a playoff team with three weeks to go.

- About a week ago, Frederik Andersen seemed a likely choice as one of the three nominees for the Vezina Trophy as best goaltender in the NHL.

Now, we’re not so sure.

This has probably been Andersen’s worst week as a Leaf. Toronto had three games at home and allowed 17 goals against, Andersen was pulled twice and he probably should have been pulled a third time Friday night against Philadelphia, where he almost put two more pucks by him with his own difficulty trying to make a play.

more on Andersen and othe topcis too...
