While the trade rumours with Chicago continue to heat up, let's focus on the real burning issue that's been simmering for a while...
I just knew it. Last week I noted that it'd be our luck to see a couple of losses and then see a terrific game, of course, against Washington, and in particular against Ovie, who got clobbered early by Finger to set the pace, who then got benched...
Back in the day Toronto Maple Leafs fans did not debate the salary cap or even the depth chart and who was awaiting promotion from the farm; projecting points needed to finish in the playoff hunt was irrelevant...
Despite their recent play, t's going to take some time apparently before Red Wings fans realise it's not about a bad bounce or bad call, it's about which direction the team is heading...
Throughout this recent string of games, the Maples Leafs defense corps has solidified. They block shots, especially Finger, they hit, especially Komiserak, and they get to loose pucks faster than the opposition, again and again...
The Buffalo Sabres have started well this season. The Maple Leafs have not. Looking on the bright side, the Leafs team has claimed a possible 3 of the 4 points over the past two games...
In heightened anticipation of a lengthy playoff run, I've begun to grow my lucky beard, and will continue to grow it until the Leafs win the Cup, or until they win a game, which ever comes first...
After last night's unexuberant performance against the Rangers, there's certainly no time like the present to pull the white rabbit from the hat. No looking back now, what has been done is done and now we must look forward, on the way to The Cup...
Well, here we are about half way down the new season and, oh wait, no, it's only 5 games in. "What me worry?" I had an ale today at the pub and while at the bar had a chance to talk to some trusted confidants about the Leafs...
Like a heavyweight pugilist, the Toronto Maple Leafs have truly slumbered out of the gates. The team have certainly taken some solid shots in the opening moments of the season, and look to be gasping early...
Back in the day, Leafs fans could not lament the choices made by the vaunted (venerable) GMs. The team laced up the skates and fought the battles on the ice they needed to, in the corners, along the boards and in front of the net...
Notwithstanding the spectacular victories, the Maple Leafs preseason results have reinforced a lot of summertime speculation and supposition surrounding the highly-anticipated revolutionary youth movement...
Another Maple Leafs pre-season victory and indeed a great night for Niklas Hagman who is looking superb - definitely earning his first Star - and reinforcing my claim he'll have a stellar year...
It's pre-season. The second game for the Maple Leafs is now over. Not surprisingly, the team won against Philadelphia. Early days. It means nothing, but Mike Komiserek performed like a Captain...
You'd think everything was rosy these days over in Smallville, home of the Habs. After all, the recent roster changes made by the illustrious Mr Gainey have surely positioned the team for another run at the Cup in the spring...
As an Original Six team in the vaunted NHL, it's pretty easy to come up with a Top 10 list of great and memorable Maple Leafs captains...
I'm trying to think of the last Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman to play for Team Canada at the Olympics, or even attend an orientation camp...
Enough has been said about the Leafs new-look vaunted blue line corps, not to mention Brian Burke's intimations about acquiring a Top Six forward to complete his re-tooling. So today I'm going to have a look at our current high scoring forwards...
I was tempted to put together a SlideShow, but then I started writing, pondering the big question on the back of everyone's mind (in Toronto): "Who's going to be captain of the Toronto Maple ...
Apparently if Roy Halladay were playing for a real team he'd be making $40 million, which makes him quite valuable, given his present paycheque, in terms of what we fans might get in return...
Many years ago, and this statement had quite an impact on me, a General Manager, when being quizzed by Toronto media personnel about possible upcoming trades, replied that there was nothing pending ...
So I'm having a quiet ale in a nearby pub today and low and behold, a heated discussion breaks out about Brian Burke's next move. We all know the Leafs have a few too many tradeable defensemen at the moment, and a dire need for a sniper...
As we all know, it's getting a little uncomfortably crowded in the Maple Leafs locker room, especially along the blue line. Something's gotta give...
I wonder if perhaps there's any gas left in the Brian Burke Tank o' Miracles. The mainstream media would have us believe Burke left for Sweden to lock up the Sedins, which of course makes no sense...
The hockey season is over, and now comes the fun part for Leafs fans around the world. We know Brian Burke will not be sitting still over the next few weeks, as he will be squirming to land junior superstar Tavares...
