I’ll preface this by saying that I like Robertson as a player. That’s not to say that I think he’s what they need in the lineup, because another small, skilled winger isn’t what’s missing from the organization. He’s a little feisty though and has an NHL caliber shot. He’s also very young at 22 years … Read more
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
Happy New Year to all you Puckers out there. I hope your holidays went well and you’re ready to face a new calendar year. If not, well, join the club, life sucks and so do the Leafs, deal with it. On to the Leafs resolutions that won’t be made or kept: Grow a spine: The … Read more
Merry Christmas folks and my apologies about the lack of articles so far this year. Business has been busy, kids have been sick and all that jazz. Life is good and I hope you can say the same. The Leafs sit 2nd in the Atlantic as of this writing, with a record of 16-7-6. Considering … 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

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.
Klingberg wasn’t a good addition to the team, but it’s tough to see any player sidelined due to injury. Silver lining? If this is a case of a player that can’t come back this season, his 4.15M caphit can be placed on LTIR and the Leafs can make moves to acquire help in other areas.
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
There has been a lot of talk about the Leafs lack of toughness today, spurred on by the injury of Timothy Liljegren: Some might say that things move fast on the ice and that this is purely accidental by Brad Marchand, but he’s been a dirty player since the first day he stepped onto a … Read more
