If your favourite thing to watch is meaningless hockey then have we got a treat for you!! The Leafs, who have clinched the North Division title, are set to face the Senators, who were out of the playoff picture sometime in November (the season hadn’t even started yet). Seriously, the best result for both teams … Read more
At this point in the Leafs season this is one of the most mean-nothing games they can possibly play, and it just so happens to be against a team that’s still fighting for their playoff lives, the Montreal Canadiens. What Leafs team comes to play tonight remains to be scene, but we can all take … Read more
With just a few games left in the regular season the Leafs appear to be giving a final look to as many players as possible, as evidenced by tonight’s lineup: Stefan Noesen will draw in, while Timothy Liljegren comes out of the lineup in favour of Justin Holl and Pierre Engvall will slot in over … Read more
The Leafs’ win streak stands at 5 games and they’ll hope to extend that tonight as they take on the Montreal Canadiens. With just a few games to go in the season, it appears that Montreal and Toronto could face each other in the playoffs for the first time in over 40 years. Now, with … Read more
There are a lot of people out there talking about trading Morgan Rielly in order to give Rasmus Sandin his minutes, essentially freeing up cap space and avoiding giving Rielly a raise at the same time.

Your streaky Leafs are back in action and they’re riding a 4 game win streak. To start the season the team played a consistent level of hockey and it was enough to launch them into 1st in the North Division by a large margin. Since then it’s been one streak after the next. From March … Read more
There was a time not too long ago where beating the Montreal Canadiens near the end of the season was as close to a Stanley Cup celebration as I would get. Last night was probably the first time ever I almost felt bad for the Habs. Their claim to fame this year is 4 consistent … Read more
With 6 of the 10 season matchups in the books, the Leafs lead this series 4-2. Also, with the way the standings look right now, this could be the Leafs 1st round playoff opponent. These teams haven’t met in the playoffs in over 40 years, so that could be interesting to say the least. The … Read more
Here we go again, another battle between the best of the North!! Connor Hellebuyck, the reigning Vezina Trophy winner, had a tough run last game. After allowing 3 goals on 6 shots, he was pulled from the game in favour of Laurent Brossoit. They’ll turn back to Hellebuyck tonight, but I wouldn’t expect another poor … Read more
Leave it to the Canucks coming out of a 3 week long covid hiatus to bring me back from my own mini sabbatical. Like Frank Costanza said “Ive got a lot problems with you people! and now you’re gonna hear about it”.I think there was an underlying understanding that anything short of a win on … Read more
