Leafs @ Blues - Feb. 2nd, 9:00pm - TSN4, Fan 590

They really ought to. Look how much better Polak is now.

And the Blues have 0 rookie goals, while we have 70, all thanks to the lack of facial hair.

Ahem. They have 2 rookie goals. One from Wade Megan, and one from Brad Hunt (who, despite being 28, qualifies as a rookie, as he hadn't played 25 NHL games before the start of this season).

Per the NHL's definition, "any player at least 26 years of age (by September 15th of that season) is not considered a rookie". So neither of those guys are considered rookies.

Rookies older than 26 really ought to be banned from scoring. It's not fair, they're taking away goals from the real rookies who are there. #MakeRookiesGreatAgain

This reminds me of the two Japanese kids who were drafted by the Leafs in '03 at the draft in Ashland. Poor kids never had a chance.
