When I saw this post… … it made me think about a variety of questions. Who are they going to trade for one of the better right shooting defenders on the trade market? What exactly do they believe it will accomplish? I mean, does Rasmus Andersson push the needle enough to make this team a … Read more
I just wanted to say Merry Christmas to everybody. I hope your holidays are filled with joy and all the good things in life. It’s great to start the season off with a win from the Leafs. Something we haven’t seen enough of this year. Hopefully their second half is either far better or far … Read more
I’ve honestly sat down to write a new article on multiple occasions now, but there is simply nothing there worth writing about. The team is dreadful. The coaching is dreadful. The management is dreadful. Far, far too many fans don’t even want to watch this show anymore. They need change.
The Assistants and the Powerplay The one thing that can easily sink a team is coaching. How good of a roster you have will factor into how deep you sink, because having enough skilled players can still allow you to win some games, but at the end of the day you simply won’t win a … Read more
Brad Treliving has made it known that he has no intentions of fielding offers on his core group of players. Namely Morgan Rielly, Auston Matthews and William Nylander.

As I watched William Nylander and Auston Matthews coast through the neutral zone on the backcheck with straight legs, as they watched a 4-on-3 develop and turn into a goal against (goal #2 of 5 … Read more
After last nights win against the Utah Mammoth, the Leafs now sit in 3rd in the Atlantic Division and 5th in the Eastern Conference. They’re just 2pts behind the division and conference leading… Montreal Canadiens? Huh. Good for them. It’s far too early in the season to watch the standings and that goes double in … Read more
I haven’t had much time to write these days. Life gets busy, so I’ll leave it to the folks that have….. Lastly, the latest from Luke Fox, who hasn’t posted a link on “X” yet. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/unacceptable-no-celebrating-maple-leafs-wild-comeback-over-penguins/
After seven games the Leafs are sitting with a 3-3-1 record, which you would think isn’t too bad at first glance, but there’s definitely something wrong within the group. A Fissure Appears We’ll start with the public cry for help from the teams starting goaltender, Anthony Stolarz. By now I assume we’ve all seen the … Read more
