Game Day Preview
Your Toronto Maple Leafs (11-2-1) return home to take on the slumping juggernaut Montreal Canadiens (8-3-2) tonight and I would expect a better effort this time around from the Habs. They’ve dropped 3 of their last 4 games and have been held to 2 goals or less in all of those games. Are they due, … Read more
The best teams in the North Division face each other tonight for the first half of a home-and-home. I’ll keep this one brief. If the Leafs want to remain atop the North standings they need to feed the Habs a couple of quick losses. That won’t be easy. The Habs have been working hard this … Read more
I’ve been busy as of late, but I think I’ve caught up with all the news. Wayne Simmonds is out for 4-6 weeks with a broken wrist, which is a shame, he was doing very well and brought more to the team than just goals and a physical game. He’ll be missed: In an attempt … Read more
The Leafs rolled over the Canucks on Thursday, taking the win by a score of 7-3. Jason Spezza recorded a hattrick, which earned him 1st star honours. It was a full team effort though, as Mitch Marner (1g, 2a), William Nylander (3a), Auston Matthews (2g), Travis Boyd (2a), Jake Muzzin (2a) and Morgan Rielly (2a), … Read more
Things are quiet in Leafs land when the team is rolling and they are rolling right now. With a record of 7-2-1 to start the season and coming off a road trip in which they collected 7 of a possible 8 points, the Leafs sit second in the North Division, and are tied for 4th … Read more
The Leafs will ride a 4 game winning streak into their game tonight, with two of those games being played against tonights opponent, the Edmonton Oilers. That 4 game streak has placed the Leafs atop the league, with 14pts, heading into tonight, so if they want to stay there they’ll have to keep this train … Read more
The Toronto Maple Leafs walked out of Calgary with 4pts in the bank, while leaving the Flames with nothing to show for their efforts. It was a game in which they took their foot off the gas after taking a 3-1 lead in the 2nd period, thanks to goals from Wayne Simmonds, Auston Matthews and … Read more
The Leafs walked away with an ugly win against the Flames on Sunday evening, but the lucky bounces weren’t the story after the game ended. This was: Just a classic thing to blame you for indeed, Mr. Tkachuk. It’s amusing to me that the players that say things like that aren’t known as stand up … Read more
First and foremost I’d like to pass on my condolences to the family of George Armstrong, who passed away this morning at the age of 90. George played his entire 21 year NHL career for the Toronto Maple Leafs, was one of the first Indigenous players in the NHL, was a 4 time Stanley Cup … Read more
The Leafs dropped a 3-1 decision to the Oilers just two nights ago and are looking for redemption tonight. Sadly, they’ll have to do that without the help of Auston Matthews and Joe Thornton: How they arrange the lines is anybodys guess, however, the teams lack of depth is beginning to show. With Matthews and … Read more
