The Leafs are waking up this morning, after another loss, with an eight point gulf between them and the final wild card spot. It’s over for the season. They won’t recover from the home stand that everybody called their most important stretch of hockey this season. Five games in which records that vary from 4-1, … Read more
Okay, maybe it isn’t the most “I told you so” moment of all time. Throughout the summer I told myself that the team that Brad Treliving constructed could make the playoffs if a few things happened. One of those things was the continued solid play from what looked to be one of the deepest bluelines … Read more
The Leafs begin a very tough stretch of games at home tonight again the Minnesota Wild. The Wild are tied for 5th in the NHL standings but have been off their game a little as of late. With a 2-3-2 record over their past 7 games, they’ll be hungry for a win in an attempt … Read more

Something we haven’t seen enough of this year. Hopefully their second half is either far better or far … Read more
I’ve honestly sat down to write a new article on multiple occasions now, but there is simply nothing there worth writing about. The team is dreadful. The coaching is dreadful. The management is dreadful. Far, far too many fans don’t even want to watch this show anymore. They need change.
