Vid Of The Day - One And Done
There is Brett Lebda's lone goal last season for the Leafs. He played in 41 games, had 1g, 3a and was a -14.
Another Lebda fun fact is that he managed to be a -3 in a 9-3 Leafs' win last year.
The signing is pretty much being universally panned by hockey fans around the league. Lots of stuff like:
"Well that makes sense, if you are going to Fail For Nail leave nothing...

Is Brett Lebda Worth 1.45 Million?
When one sees these comparisons it is quit interesting how a role player has an effect on their team. But you could also add in there that Brett Lebda has only recorded 1 point over the 22 games he has played this season. Now the Toronto Maple Leafs are no Detroit Red Wings, but if the same comparison was done when Brett Lebda was playing in Detroit I am sure those numbers would...

Pound Per Inch, Who Are The Biggest Leafs?
This is a quick-ish post, but here is a quick look at some numbers I took a look at after Brett Lebda signed with Toronto. The first thing I noted when Lebda signed was that he's listed as being 5'9. Not exactly truculent sized, and actually it's a height that most NHL GM's don't actively seek out. The next thing I noticed was that Lebda is listed at 195lbs, the same weight as the...

My First Thoughts on Brett Lebda
Sigh! Has anyone told Burke that it's okay to offer players under $1,000,000? It's especially true if they're 5'9 defensemen who have never played in a top four pairing in their career. That's what our fearless leader has done today, as many of us prepare to embrace the mediocrity that his two NHL-level free agent signings provide. This is contract number 48 out 50, so at best we...

When you think about easy targets for angry Leafs fans, perhaps there are none easier than John Mitchell and Brett Lebda.
