Christmas Special: Toronto Maple Leafs

Team Wishlist: Hot Chocolate from Mrs. Claus to keep Phil Kessel and Joffery Lupul to keep them both hot. They have been the most surprising players this year. They're both the leaders in points in the NHL and both leaders in the Locker room as well. Remember when the Ducks sent him to Toronto because he wasn't producing? Yeah I think the Ducks regret it now. They gave up promising prospect Jake Gardiner as well. I can't help but think the Ducks feel cheated in some way. Anyone else agree?

Christmas Special: Tampa Bay Lightning

Team Wishlist: A goalie prospect so when Roloson turns 65 and gets old age security someone can take over. Roly is so old... I wonder if he has arthritis half way through the game or like needs a walker to move around? Just a mean little thought but you get my point right?

Christmas Special: Calgary Flames

Team Wishlist: Time Machine to go back and undo the Dion Phaneuf trade. Yes another time machine. Seems to be the "in" thing this year. Everyone wants the time machine to undo that mistake they did. The Flames are no different. The team give up Dion Phaneuf, Fredrik Sjostrom, and Keith Aulie to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Niklas Hagman, Ian White, and Jamal Mayers. Now go back to present day, what has that trade done? Mayers is in the Chicago Blackhawks, Hagman in the minors after being waived, and Ian White is playing for the Detroit Red Wings.

Now lets flip the spectrum. How has Toronto done, Phaneuf is the Captain of the historic team, Sjostrom is in Europe, and Aulie even though has been scratched in favour of Jake Gardiner is a 2nd Line Defenseman that should reach his potential. Worse comes to worse he's a third line defenseman. I'm not going to give you a conclousion. What do you think. Does Jay Feaster redo this trade?

Christmas Special: San Jose Sharks

Team Wishlist: A free pass through the first round of the playoffs. They seem to never be able to get it past the first round of the playoffs. Always at the end of the season, oh the Sharks are going to do well right? Stanley Cup Contenders for sure! Then they lose in the first round. No biggie right? Yeah maybe for one time ,but year after year it gets repetitive and it really hurts the fan base..

Christmas Special: Pittsburgh Penguins

Just before we start, we just want to say that this might be a little bias because the author is a huge Penguins fan. Just going to say that so no one freaks out at us for being biased. Huge Marc Andre Fleury fan. The Flower is a freaking beast and the future of Team Canada goalie. Just saying.

Team Wishlist: For Sidney Crosby to come back concussion free. That's all we want because when Crosby is healthy, the team is undefetable. The team is the boss. They are the team to beat. It worries the fan me, that Crosby is injured for so long. My sources tell me that he will be out for the season. Do we need another Marc Savard? Savard had so much promise and so much potential, yet a few concussions later, he's practically done. Do you know how devastated the Canadian Media would be if Crosby retired because of this? This would be the the front page of EVERY newspaper in all of Canada. Could you imagine the headlines? "Canada's golden boy of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics retires due to injuries." People would be crying on the streets, ala  Kim Jong Il. Just youtube Kim Jong Il and injury. You can see. That in Canada? Oh yeah. OK maybe not to that much of extent. But you get the point.

Christmas Special: Phoenix Coyotes

Team Wishlist: Have an actual owner aka not NHL and move to a city where they make money. The team is losing money like there's no freaking tomorrow. NHL is supporting them while they lose money. No one really goes to the game. I bet you there could be a dirty laundry convention at Jobing.com Arena and there would be more viewers there than at a Yotes game. Why does NHL try to lose money there. You know instead of losing money there they could just give the fans some money. I mean it's like throwing money away ,so why not just give it away. It could probably count as a charity and be tax exempt. See I just saved the NHL money. I should be the NHL's accountant. Oh wait that's a stressful job. Trying to convince Gary Bettman that Phoenix is losing money is like telling a dead cat that it's dead. It's stupid, won't make sense and is the obvious.

Christmas Special: Philadelphia Flyers

Team Wishlist: Ilya Bryzgalov to play like the $5.67 Million player he is. He's signed there till he's 40. They freaking traded away Jeff Carter and Mike Richards to sign him! Yet he's under performing. To his defense so are Carter and Richards... Bryz (yes we're calling him that. his name is too long to type) is a great goalie, but he only plays well where there's enough parks.
