The Toronto Maple Leafs have finally gotten rid of goaltender Andrew Raycroft so now what lie’s for the franchise in the back up role? Justin Pogge is the perfect candidate for the position. Pogge has proven him self both in the WHL and AHL so why not start your future star goaltender a few years as back up to Vesa Toskola.
Toskola with 1 year left in his contract could be pushed a side if Pogge does get the call and performs well. Justin Pogge was shaking in his first AHL season with the Marlies in 2006-2007 posting 19 wins 25 loses and 2 shootout loses but did manage 3 shutouts. Pogge rebounded this past 2007-2008 season with 26 wins 10 loses 4 shootout loses and 4 shutouts. He lead the Marlies in to the playoffs he recorded 1 win and 1 loss as Scott Clemenson was played most of the way. Bringing Pogge up to the leafs next season will give him experience and prepare him for many NHL seasons to come. Scouts have said nothing but good things about Justin some have even gone as fare as saying he will be just as good as Carey Price if not better. The 22 year old has proved his self in he AHL so why not test him as a back up in the NHL he is the leafs future so this move if made could be nothing but good for the Maple Leafs.

Affymetrix® Microarray Technologies Help Scientists Understand the Genetic Riskof Heart Attacks SANTA CLARA, Calif.–(Business Wire)–Affymetrix, Inc. (Nasdaq:AFFX) today announced that its GeneChip® genotypingtechnology played a part in the recently announced discoveries of six new genesassociated with susceptibility to heart attacks. Scientists from the Universityof Lübeck, Germany, and Massachusetts General Hospital, USA together withEuropean and American colleagues, conducted three separate studies. They haveall been published in the renowned scientific magazine, Nature Genetics.Researchers from the European Cardiogenics Consortium were involved with each ofthe three publications. The scientists leveraged the power of the Affymetrix® Genome-Wide Human SNPArray 6.0 and the GeneChip® Human Mapping 500K Array Set to conduct large-scalegene association studies focused on demystifying the risk of heart attacks. Bothproducts were designed to meet the needs of researchers focused on elucidatingthe molecular mechanisms of diseases, such as cardiovascular disease.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics in the U.S., almost 1.3million heart attacks occur in the country each year, and about 37 percent ofpeople who experience a heart attack in a given year die from it. This makescoronary heart disease the leading cause of death in America.1The results of these studies contribute significantly to an overallunderstanding of the susceptibility to heart attacks and add to anever-increasing store of knowledge about the molecular mechanisms of heartdisease. The first of the three publications describes a study by Jeanette Erdmann,etal., in which 1 million genetic markers were evaluated in 1,200 patients withheart attacks using the SNP Array 6.0.2 The study was replicated in a further 24,000 subjects. The authorsidentified two genetic loci on chromosomes 3 and 12 which they say were causallyrelated to heart attacks.
