Game Day Preview

I have to be honest, I’m not even sure what to say about this franchise anymore. The coach is saying that Saturday wasn’t that big of a deal, because a contender being blown out by a team that is missing their 5 best players is perfectly normal. Keefe on Saturday's game: "It's important that we … Read more

The fans are tired of the same old shit, but luckily Auston Matthews wants to learn from last night’s loss to the San Jose Sharks. I can’t begin to explain how exasperated I am with reading quotes like that. This team hasn’t learned a damn thing since they’ve been assembled. They haven’t learned to show … Read more

The Leafs are back in action against a Sharks team that are playing their 3rd game in 4 days and will be on the 2nd half of a back-to-back. While this should mean they have an advantage, this is exactly the type of game the Leafs tend to lose. Also, Michael Hutchinson is in net. … Read more

This team hasn’t changed, if anything they’ve actually sank deeper into their Leafiness. While I’d love to rant about their insanely terrible loss to the Senators a couple of short nights ago, there’s news to talk about. Justin Holl will be out of the lineup and it’s just as well, he’s been terrible through the … Read more

Thoughts on last night’s game are short and simple. Jack Campbell was terrific, while, in no particular order, William Nylander, Ondrej Kase, Michael Bunting, Nick Ritchie, Rasmus Sandin, Pierre Engvall and David Kampf were solid. However, it’s a lifeless win for me, considering it came a few months too late. So I’ll add some bigger … Read more

The players and coaches are saying the same garbage they’ve been spouting for too long now. “We’re ready” and some such. But they’re not ready, they’re not prepared and they’re not willing to do the work. This we know because this is what we’ve been exposed to for years. A lot of talk and no … Read more

Words are tough to come by at this point. How do you describe the complete and utter disappointment you feel from a team that promises big things, only to fail to deliver on anything other than regular season success? How do you defend your star players, when they are only stars when it barely matters? … Read more

Alright, here we are. Game 6, with another chance to end this series but even more heartbreaking for the Habs if we do so tonight, in their own barn in front of, yes IN FRONT OF FANS. For the first time this season a Canadian game will have fans in the stands, not for a … Read more

Here we go!!!! Game 2, Version 3! (game 5) Buds are at it again tonight at 8PM my time, hoping for another great outing from the Leafs. Few things to mention from last game (even though I missed half of it), Campbell was lights out and looks like he’s really settled in. Thornton stepped up … Read more

Here we are, game 4 already and up 2-1 in the series. It has been a close series thus far and the leafs have sustained some key injuries already. Obviously JT is out for an unknown amount of time, Foligno was lined up to play last night but just after warmups it was decided he … Read more
