The Leafs open training camp today, but a couple of players won’t be there due to injury: This could leave a couple of spots open on the roster come opening night. Presumably for hopefuls and/or players that have been signed to PTOs (Zach-Aston Reese, Nick Robertson etc) to crack the opening day lineup. It could … Read more
I’m tired of reading idiotic, over-the-top proclamations on Twitter and making fun of it, but I’m also tired of being so damn negative, so, instead, I’m going to join the “It’s Always Sunny In Leaf Nation” crowd and point out a few good things about this team that aren’t insanely out to lunch: Goaltending Yeah, … Read more

It’s been a few years since the trophy of all trophies landed on The Rock, so it’ll be nice to see it happen … Read more
Talk around the water cooler these days seems to revolve around what players the Leafs can sign for cheap and gain maximum potential from. While this is a tough ask for any GM, Kyle Dubas did well last season by signing the likes of Michael Bunting, Ondrej Kase and David Kampf to cheap contracts and … Read more
That’s the word from Brendan Shanahan, Kyle Dubas and Sheldon Keefe right now. One more kick at the can (at least). I’m not about to write much on this. I’m too disconnected to really care at the moment, but will have some thoughts as the days pass by. Next up for the Leafs is the … Read more
This tweet seems to have Leafs Nation talking: Which is hilarious to me because nobody seemed to pay attention when I said this exact same thing 5 months ago. They didn’t pay attention when I said it every 2-3 days since then either, but big shot Chris “hey look at me and my hipster beard” … Read more
