from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,

- NHL GMs will stop openly cheering against the embarrassing Florida Panthers now that former GM Dale Tallon is back manning the phones for the Panthers.

- Tweet of the week, from comedian, sports writer, and pal David Shoalts: “Don’t ever change, Toronto media. Leafs finally fun to watch; will be good when learn how to win. But all media cares about is 8th defenceman.” How about a moratorium on talking about Frankie Corrado until he plays, say, five games in a row and we have some kind of clue whether he can, in fact, help the Leafs or any other NHL team

- Crosby is scoring more goals than ever and converting at 25.6%, which is not sustainable. In his only 50-goal season, he shot at 17.1%. In other words, he’s shooting at 50% better than he did in his best scoring season. That can’t continue.
