Two Recalled
With the possibility of Kyle Wellwood and Alexei Ponikarovsky not being able to play tonight against the Blackhawks, forwards Ben Ondrus and Alex Suglobov were recalled from the Toronto Marlies. If both Wellwood and Ponikarovsky are unable to go, I don't see both Ondrus and Suglobov being inserted into the lineup. Wade Belak would most likely get the nod ahead of one of the two.
No Holiday Cheer at Leaf Practices
Tuesday's loss to the Florida Panthers was pretty painful, but not as bad as Maple Leaf practices have become. On Wednesday, Kyle Wellwood strained his groin muscle and is questionable for tonight's game. Yesterday it was Alexei Ponikarovsky's turn to injure himself. The big 225 pounder caught a rut in the ice and crashed heavily into the boards, injuring his left shoulder/upper arm. He immediately went to get x-rays, no word yet on the extent of the injury.So, Leaf practices have knocked 3 players out in the last couple of weeks. Nik Antropov has been out with an ankle injury after catching a rut in the ice. Maybe this is a sign to do something about the ice at their practice facility.

Not Leaf Related…But Funny
This is a pretty funny video clip from last year about Jamie McLennan, then of the Florida Panthers, on being the backup for Roberto Luongo.Page 1 of 1 pages
