Morning Mashup: Stars Aligned

Following a couple day’s break, the Leafs are back in action tonight with a stop in Dallas. After allowing only one goal each to Washington and Tampa Bay in his last two starts, the oft-maligned Jonas Gustavsson seems to have found his game, his confidence, and perhaps the starting role. “The Monster” will tend the net for the third time in four games against a surprisingly good Stars’ team, one which hasn’t missed Brad Richards at all.

In a bit of an odd schedule quirk, the Leafs will not play a Saturday night game this week (instead, HNIC viewers will see Pittsburgh visit Montreal).  After tonight, the Leafs head to Anaheim for a Sunday night tilt against the Ducks — the first visit to Anaheim for Joffrey Lupul and Jake Gardiner as members of the Leafs.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if Buttman is really calling the shots (suspensions) behind the scenes. Clearly there is no consistency in these assessments.

    There’s a real bad Canadian movie out there called Face-Off, Jim McKenny stands in for the real actor during many of the hockey sequences (Apparently he failed the audition to star in the movie) and many of the ’70′s Leafs are in cameo roles. Warning, really bad movie though.

    Awesome movie. Don’t ever watch it if it’s on regular TV though. They take all the fun words out of it.
