Hurricanes-Maple Leafs: Leafs Play Well, but Lose to Hot Goalie Cam Ward

The Toronto Maple Leafs came up with probably their best team effort of the season in this 2-0 loss, but could not put the puck behind the Cane's goalie Cam Ward. The Leafs controlled most of the play during the game and each line played very solid hockey

Maple Leafs: The Trade That Made Me a Fan Forever

The time was 1945 and World War II was just coming to an end. It was Christmas time on Canada's eastern coast. Times, of course, were very hard at that time. For me, having a big family meant my folks did not have very much money...

Dear Vesa Toskala: Do You Want To Play for the Maple Leafs or Not?

It is unbelievable how a good goalie can end up being the worst goalie I have ever seen in the Blue and White. Absolutely terrible to say the least; either Vesa Toskala does not give a shit, or he wants out of Toronto...

Joseph and RayCroft Are Proof: Hind-Sight Is 20/20

I am by no means comparing Andrew RayCroft to Curtis Joseph. Curtis Joseph is probably one of the greatest goalies to ever wear the pads. The point that I will make here is this: We all know the reason the Leafs got Raycroft in the first place...

Maple Leafs-Bruins: Total Disgrace for Toronto

What in hell kind of hockey is that? A disgrace at its best. Would you not think that five goals would be enough to win a hockey game? Yes, but only when you have a five-goal lead in Toronto's case...

Brian Burke Needs to Buy a Leader

Can you imagine being a foreign pro hockey player trying to make it with one of the N.H.L.teams and you arrive in a foreign country, (North America.) You do not understand the language, there is also the culture issue, you do not know any of the players.
