Game Day Preview
As the Leafs get set to face the Blue Jackets tonight, all eyes will be on the two individuals that are reffing the game and Michael Bunting. I have to say, I feel for the refs on this one. Not only has Bunting consistently embellished during his time in Toronto, but it also sounds as … Read more
With a playoff spot in hand, courtesy of a win against Nashville, the Leafs return home to play the Florida Panthers, a team mired in a dog fight for the final wildcard position. This has all the makings of an upset, as I’m sure the Leafs are a little more relaxed now that theres an … Read more
The Leafs face the Carolina Hurricanes tonight at home, before they travel to Ottawa for Hockey Night In Awokeness tomorrow. This means the tandem of Ilya Samsonov and Matt Murray will get a game a piece, but we’re still not sure which goalie starts which game. Matt Murray has a combined 0.847SV% over his last … Read more

The only change for the Leafs is the inclusion of Nicholas Robertson to the lineup: That’s correct, Robertson, who is a shoot first winger that is … Read more
It’s been a terrible start to Matt Murray’s time in Toronto. First, he played terribly in the season opener against the Montreal Canadiens. Next is an injury that is expected to keep him out for a while: Ilya Samsonov will get the opportunity to run with the starters spot in his first season as a … Read more
