I was told Matthews should take matters into his own hands, he should take a high shot on Mcdavid.

mcdcvid anf Matthews both being injured is good for the game.

Slow 'buzz day, so it's time for Wedgie to get the party started.

Here's the game (which will be played in four parts).

You are at a Leafs away game. They have a draw where you can get a personalized jersey of any player from the home team in history - and your seat is the lucky one.

What player do you get?

Today will be the Northern Division:

Montreal: Guy Lafleur. Smoked darts on the bench, drank like a fish, was still the most exciting player of the era.

Ottawa: this is a tough one. I think I'll go with Chris Neil - hated him as a Senator, would have loved him as a Leaf. Tough, dirty - but not in a chickenpoop way. And he had a little bit of skill.

Winnipeg (and yes, you can get a player from Jets v1.0): Nothing here really jumps out at me. I was trying to think if they had a really good goon back in the day. I guess I'll go with Hawerchuk here. Definitely not Tkachuk - that's for sure.

Calgary: Tempting to go Gilmour, but Lanny McDonald is the right decision here. Also considered Al MacInnis.

Edmonton: the obvious one is Gretzky, of course. A Paul Coffey would be cool.

Vancouver: Lots of interesting choices here. A Richard Brodeur would be cool - my brother was at the game where he got his ear ripped off at MLG. But I think I'm going to go with Trevor Linden here - total hockey player.

Bonus: Quebec Nordiques: many will be tempted by Sakic or Sundin, but it's gotta be Dale Hunter.

So much for his (Matthews) new training regiment helping reduce injuries....

StL played ok without their best goal scorer, let’s hope the Leafs can do it too.

Hope the select few of you got that testosterone boost from seeing Matthews cross checked, we are seeing the repercussions now.

The testosterone boost came from the injection.

He’s been hammering guys, maybe he did something then? Or did I miss that he was injured from a cross check?

Against MTL he was cross checked twice hard by two different players in the final 2 mins.

He favoured his back, made some comments about it after.

Yeah, unless it's a pulled muscle due to a lack of warm-up (which I cannot imagine happening to a pro athlete), no amount of conditioning is going to help that in a contact sport no less.
- gravyface

I agree, I am more referring to that specifically was called out during an article that was written abiut it.

If this injury is indeed because of the cross checks that is very annoying

I hope so too, even a minor back injury can be complicated...it can drag on even after it seems fine.

Luckily they have the best of the best taking care of them.

Agreed , we can hope. Unfortunately we're playing Edmonton where our depth actually matters.

The leafs are fairly deep, hopefully they respond

I'll play!

Toronto: Doug Gilmour, no question. Favorite Leafs player ever.

Ottawa: I'll go Chabot, if only because I don't hate him yet and he's gonna be amazing.

Winnipeg: Teemu Selanne! Can't go wrong there. Best rookie ever.

Calgary: Jarome Iginla. Probably represents the flames better than anyone.

Vancouver: Despite the temptation to buy a Messier jersey to (frank) with them, I'd go with a Pavel Bure jersey.

Edmonton: I don't remember Gretzky with the Oilers so I'd pass on him.... McDavid would also be a "boring" choice so I'll go with Bill Ranford.

Bonus: Quebec: Joe Sakic, without hesitation.

I'll play!

Toronto: Sundin: I wanted him to get a cup so bad.

Ottawa: Chara: Would be like having his rookie card, respect him for his game over the years, minus a few

Winnipeg: Teemu Selanne! Can't go wrong there. Best rookie ever.

Calgary: Theo Fleury: I feel asleep as a kid to peter mahar and doug barkley calling games. Fluery was one of my favorite growing up, Al McInnis a close second

Vancouver: Bure: the guy was a wizard, nedved would be cool too.

Edmonton: I was a fan of Paul Coffee, man was he fun to watch


Bonus: Quebec: Joe Sakic for the same reasons as Chara.

Ugh.

Montreal: Has to be Lafleur. Although my favourite Hab is still probably Racicot.
Ottawa: Alfredsson. My favourite Sen . . . Bonk or Sidorkiewicz. God they sucked.

Winnipeg: Hawerchuck. I always did like Roenick, but it's really no contest.
Calgary: Nieuwendyk. Roberts would be the close second.
Edmonton: Gretzky. Coffey would be my second.
Vancouver: Bure.
Quebec: Forsberg.

Toronto: Gilmour. No. Clark. No. Palmateer. No. Sittler. THE PASSION THAT UNITES US ALL IS TEARING ME APART!

Hard to choose any one player for Ottawa, but I guess if the jersey isn't to poop on it'd be Hossa
