		<title>Deep Blue, See?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back after an extended holiday vacation. (Best Christmas presents: a new Stiga table hockey set in the standard Leafs vs. Detroit configuration, an extra set of Leafs players in their home blues and a bottle of white Testors clear-coat enamel. A quick coat of paint on the extra mini-Buds and the Bluebud household has been [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bluebud.wordpress.com&blog=613550&post=19&subd=bluebud&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A Little (Much-Needed) Holiday Cheer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a tough week for the Leafs; here&#8217;s hoping the Christmas respite did them some good (or at least stemmed the injury tide!). Meantime, here&#8217;s a little diddy to cheer up the faithful, courtesy of YouTube:

December 22, 2006
To Whom It May Concern:
Seasons&#8217; Greetings! I am writing on the subject of the league&#8217;s very innovative NHL Player Sites network promotional feature that is included at the top of every official NHL team and league Web site. I have followed closely the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bluebud.wordpress.com&blog=613550&post=17&subd=bluebud&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Greatest Ever To Wear Sweater #42</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the first in a series of Leafs Lists compiled exclusively for BlueBud readers and global hockey fans around the world. This particular edition may generate a bit of controversy, as the holder of the #1 slot has skated just 117 games in a Leafs sweater at this writing. However, ol&#8217; Johnny Bluebud isn&#8217;t [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bluebud.wordpress.com&blog=613550&post=14&subd=bluebud&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Let&#8217;s Make A Deal!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In central Alberta, everybody hates Joffrey and the Oilers need a veteran defenseman. 
In. T.O., two co-future Norris Trophy winners (Tomas Kaberle and Bryan McCabe), and two rising future superstar backliners in the making (Ian White and Carlo Colaiacovo) mean that the Buds probably could afford to part with a certain veteran blueliner. Meantime, up [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bluebud.wordpress.com&blog=613550&post=13&subd=bluebud&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Silver Lining A-Plenty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, so last night&#8217;s tilt vs. Florida wasn&#8217;t exactly a perfect 60 minutes of hockey from the Toronto perspective. From the mug-is-half-full side of the bar, however, the positives are as easy to spot as empty seats at a Blackhawks home game. A sampling:
The Leafs, who had every reason to pack it in after being [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bluebud.wordpress.com&blog=613550&post=12&subd=bluebud&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Wellwood, Steen Seek Streaks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Leafs sophomores Kyle Wellwood and Alexander Steen hit the ice tonight vs. Florida looking to extend a couple of streaks. 
Wellwood is on a four-game points run (3g, 5a). With a point against the Panthers, he would tie his career-best streak of five straight games in the scoring column, set Oct. 8-14. 
Meanwhile, Steen will [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bluebud.wordpress.com&blog=613550&post=11&subd=bluebud&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Let&#8217;s see, Mahovlich-Lindros-Gartner&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Still time to chime in on ESPN&#8217;s &#8220;Top Line of All Time&#8221; voting, where you assemble trios from a pool of 50 forwards and submit them as &#8220;your top line of all-time.&#8221; Thankfully, the &#8220;experts&#8221; (ESPN&#8217;s word) that assembled the pool saved Leafs fans some headaches. No need to agonize over Darryl Sittler vs. Teeder [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bluebud.wordpress.com&blog=613550&post=10&subd=bluebud&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Eyeing Sittler&#8217;s 916</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mats Sundin garnered much coverage as he skated by Dave Keon on the Leafs&#8217; all-time scoring list this week with a three-point night at Carolina Friday. (He also got career goal no. 508 in that game, surpassing Montreal centre Jean Beliveau on the all-time list and officially putting an end to that debate once and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bluebud.wordpress.com&blog=613550&post=9&subd=bluebud&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
