Lupul providing Leafs with big boost
There was no way to know which Joffrey Lupul the Toronto Maple Leafs were getting when they acquired him from the Anaheim Ducks a year ago. After all, this was a promising talent who had missed three days shy of a year recovering from injury and was underwhelming upon his return.
They aren't wondering any more.

Travis Yost: Respecting Joffrey Lupul, the Sweden Connection, and Seguin + Toronto
Make sure to follow Travis on Twitter and Facebook!

1.) If there's one takeaway from All-Star Weekend, it's how to handle a heated rivalry with perfection. With all due respect to guys like Dion Phaneuf and Phil Kessel, Joffrey Lupul is the one playing the role of incendiary and firebrand, and he's earning my respect in the process.

Predators fan kicks glass to taunt Lupul
A Nashville Predators fan was unhappy that his view was impeded by Maple Leafs left wing Joffrey Lupul, and he let Lupul know about it. Instead of slapping the glass, as is normal, the fan kicked the glass and as you can tell by Lupul’s reaction, he was none too pleased.

from Mike Brophy of Sportsnet, So perhaps a No. 1 centre may not be the top priority for the Toronto Maple Leafs at the trade deadline after all.

I'd never admit it to anyone else but you folks, but I actually am a fan of the Maple Leafs this season. Yep. Wanna know why? There are a few reasons, actually:

Happy Hockey Day in Canada
Let’s hope it’s a good one. As for the Habs, can they make it four in a row? That would tie their season high, and if it comes to pass it will likely be due to the play of two Habs: Max Pacioretty and Carey Price. Pacioretty is now 5th in even strength scoring in the NHL - pretty impressive for a guy coming off a broken neck. Price, meanwhile, has been lights out the...
