Game Day Preview
There are rumours floating around that the Leafs and Corey Perry, who had his contract terminated by the Chicago Blackhawks earlier this season for breach of contract, have mutual interest in having Perry play in Toronto: Without knowing everything that happened in Chicago it’s easy for me to say that it would benefit the Leafs … Read more
It was announced today that Joseph Woll is week-to-week: This is obviously disappointing news, as it appears the Woll was just starting to hit his stride. He had started the previous 5 games, where he allowed 11 goals, sported a 0.928SV% and stole a win from Florida, stopping 38 of 39 shots in that game. … Read more
While so much attention is given to William Nylander and his inevitable overpayment of a new contract, because, lets face it, as soon as he signs his 8 year, $88 million extension (which has been my prediction for a calendar year now), we all know he’s going to regress back to his low effort, uninspired … Read more
Nylander will skate on the top line tonight, while Marner joins Tavares to try to shake things up and get the highest paid players on the team going….. which should be the last problem they ever have. Same team. Different year. Enjoy the game folks.
It’s ironic that the Leafs are hosting the Tampa Bay Lightning on the day that Leafs Nation is finally questioning Sheldon Keefe’s ability to coach a team successfully, because after all of the terrible playoff series losses that he suffered, it’s Lightning coach, Jon Cooper, that he was finally able to get the better of. … Read more

Unfortunately the Leafs will have to do without Jake McCabe for a little while, but he isn’t expected out long term: Meanwhile, this will be the first time that the Leafs play against Ryan O’Reilly since he chose to depart the franchise for a warmer climate at the end of last season. I have nothing … Read more
Max Domi, after Woll’s 13th career NHL game, had this to say: “He really kind of reminds me of Carey Price‘s demeanour,” the former Montreal Canadien said after watching Woll stop all 29 shots faced in a relief performance. “He’s very calm and relaxed both on and off the ice … He’s very similar to Pricey. Super low key. … Read more
The Leafs finally broke through in the playoffs last season by way of a 1st round series win against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Tonight, the Bolts will be out for revenge. Enjoy the game folks!! (sorry for the lack of game day write-ups. Busy times) GO LEAFS GO!!
After a very sloppy win in their season opener, the Leafs will look to clean things up and win another tonight, as they host the Minnesota Wild. The Wild are a cash strapped team, as they are dolling out almost $14.75M to Zach Parise and Ryan Suter by way of buyouts, but they have a … Read more
