What the hell does it mean to “streamline” your roster? What’s next? “Synergizing” your power play? “Collaborative” odd-man rushes? “Logistical” penalty minutes?

Thank you, TSN, for bringing management-speak to the world of hockey.

Considering that the Leafs are much more of a financial venture than hockey team, I think it’s rather fitting. In fact, I’d go as far as saying that the 2008-09 Leafs are leveraging their assets to produce a synergistic result going forward for MLSE.

In English, that means they hope to suck bad enough to get Tavares or some other blue chip prospect in next year’s draft.

Tough break for Boyd. I’ll always have a warm place in my heart for the “Two Kids and an Old Goat Line” with him, Pavel and Brett.
