Tomas Kaberle: Scoring Threat or Defensive Liability?
12/07/2009
Hey Bleacher Creatures! I have been writing here for awhile now and I am having a blast! I am a happily married father of two, and a life long fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs!
As a former blogger, I am discovering the independence of writing for a site like this and having some fun learning as I go! My writings have also been published on CBS Spots.com, T.O Sports .com, and a host of other sports sites.

Hey Dave, I kind of agree with you. The trouble for me is, that I have...
The Leafs embarassed the Habs at home on Wedensday, which pissed them off, so they embarrased the Bruins on Friday night, which pissed them off, so...

The Captains says: Better to be pissed off than pissed on!!
Eric Warren replied…
Very true!
Once again, I am weighing in on Toronto Maple Leafs Defense man Tomas Kaberle. Before I go any further, and all you Kaberle fans skip to the end and chastise me for picking on him, hear me out...
Hey Mark, great read as always! I think Carter, if it came down to the two of them should be the obvious choice, but it will...

Bruins fans should know that Kessel and the Bruins had to part ways. The Bruins are...
That was a flat out arse-kicking...an ugly loss, reminding Leaf fans that this team has a long way to go. Nice read!
Eric Warren replied…
Thanks again for the props Mr Ritter! Yeah, that was pretty brutal, do you think they...
The Last ten games for the Toronto Maple Leafs have shown us glimpses more often than not of who this team is meant to be, or what Burke has envisioned it to look like...
That's twice this season both Toskala and Gustavsson have been out at the same time. Both have been playing solid in net as of late as...

It seems so, though, like Kadri, he seems to be getting hot lately
