Toronto Maple Leafs fans are beside themselves with anger at the moment. They think, and I agree, that the top end players (specifically Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner) on this team didn’t do enough in the playoffs to warrant their respect and loyalty. Due to this they’re calling for heads to roll. I must admit, … Read more
Words are tough to come by at this point. How do you describe the complete and utter disappointment you feel from a team that promises big things, only to fail to deliver on anything other than regular season success? How do you defend your star players, when they are only stars when it barely matters? … Read more
Alright, here we are. Game 6, with another chance to end this series but even more heartbreaking for the Habs if we do so tonight, in their own barn in front of, yes IN FRONT OF FANS. For the first time this season a Canadian game will have fans in the stands, not for a … Read more
Here we go!!!! Game 2, Version 3! (game 5) Buds are at it again tonight at 8PM my time, hoping for another great outing from the Leafs. Few things to mention from last game (even though I missed half of it), Campbell was lights out and looks like he’s really settled in. Thornton stepped up … Read more
Here we are, game 4 already and up 2-1 in the series. It has been a close series thus far and the leafs have sustained some key injuries already. Obviously JT is out for an unknown amount of time, Foligno was lined up to play last night but just after warmups it was decided he … Read more
Here we go, game 3 tonight. The Leafs really stepped up their game last game (thanks to my article for game 2 no doubt). So lets keep that momentum going! Matthews really looked into it last game, has some nice hits and had a goal and an assist to boot! The Powerplay has found it’s … Read more
If there was ever a game less representative of a team’s overall capability, it was Game 1 on Thursday night. That 1st period was one where I wish I had a dog I could take for a walk to clear my head. It has taken me nearly 2 days to convince myself Perry was completely … Read more
So I’d like to start out this game day preview with a message for the players. FIGHT FOR YOUR TEAMMATES, SHOW SOME PASSION. Now that that’s out of the way, there were a few things that came out of game one that I’d like to voice my opinion on. Firstly, the injury of Tavares, I’m … Read more
Well slap my ass and call me Susan, the day is finally here!!! GAME ONE BABY!!! Two storied franchises with a rivalry that stretches as long as any in professional sports will battle it out tonight and if I told you I wasn’t excited, scared and anxious I’d be lying. I can barely contain myself … Read more
This is it folks, the last chance for the Leafs to work out the kinks and become playoff ready. They didn’t look good against the Ottawa Senators last game, so I can’t lie and tell you that I’m very confident in this teams ability to rise to any challenge, but cheer I will until the … Read more
