It’s a great day to be a fan of the Leafs. After winning the Draft Lottery they’re set to make the 1st overall pick this evening. I won’t say much here, instead I’ve written you all a poem. The Hurricanes wonMitch Marner is scum I have something else to tell yaThe Leafs are gonna draft … Read more

As of this writing the Leafs roster breakdown looks something like this: Forwards: Signed: Auston Matthews, William Nylander, John Tavares, Matthews Knies, Max Domi (IR, possible LTIR), Dakota Joshua, Steve Lorentz, Easton … Read more

Tinker tinker. When John Chayka arrived on the scene he spoke about wanting to add more puck movers to the back end. The result was Leafs Nation talking about the likes of Dougie Hamilton, Sean Durzi, Darren Raddysh, Rasmus Andersson and even the far more wild idea of chasing Thomas Harley. Adding any of those … Read more

If nothing else it’s a distraction from the fact that everywhere you look you get the narrative that the little twerp that bailed on this franchise was abandoned … Read more

It was announced last week that Max Domi would be out indefinitely due to complications with an offseason surgery he had: While I wouldn’t have been disappointed if they traded Domi the player, I wish Domi the person a quick recovery. The story goes that for a few days after he had surgery on his … Read more

Let’s start this off by talking about the coaching change. As we all know by now, Craig Berube was fired by the Leafs and the search for a new bench boss has commenced. Berube being let go should come as no surprise to anybody, as the previous season was very tough to watch and the … Read more
