I like Steve Thomas as much as the next guy, but I really didn't want him to make this team. I wanted a youngster or two to rise to the challenge and force us to say farewell to 42 year old Stumpy. Thankfully for all Leafs fans, I got my wish.
Alexander Steen is ready and will be in the line up Wednesday night. He's 21, full of skill and good lineage, plays both ways and kills penalties. He'll be playing with Matt Stajan and Jeff O'Neill on the third line. If he keeps this up, there will be many #10 Leafs jerseys under trees this Christmas.
How old is Stumpy? The man was traded for Al Secord. 'Nuff said...
