Sigh, it’s been a whirlwind of late for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and to be honest I needed to take a vacation from the blue and white. All apologies to the people that checked this site the past days and found a lack of content. I just needed to detach myself for a bit. While my sabbatical included a hiatus from writing posts and eliminating both highlite shows and sports radio, I did watch every painful moment that the Leafs [...]

Early in the afternoon on Wednesday, the Toronto Maple Leafs announced that top line winger Joffrey Lupul would miss the next three to four weeks with a separated shoulder. Looking at both the schedule and the standings, it’s safe to say that Lupul’s career year is over. Soon the talk began to spread that Lupul was the teams MVP on the season, and that his loss is the final nail in the coffin that has been this deflating season. I [...]

Eight years has been damned too long. It was 14 degrees and sunny in Toronto today and the fact that the Toronto Maple Leafs will most likely not participate in post season hockey for the eight straight year has finally become a reality to me. In the midst of the ugly 1-9-1 slide that saw them drop from contention, I think I was in denial. As people around me were seemingly aware of the fact that the Leafs had probably [...]

The time for moral victories is long over for this season, but one has to think that the Toronto Maple Leafs (30-29-7) feel pretty good about themselves despite the loss last night. The Leafs have an opportunity tonight to quickly put the memory of last night’s tough and hard fought loss to the Boston Bruins behind them as they face off tonight against the Pittsburgh Penguins (39-21-5). The last time the Leafs were in this building they blew a late [...]

A constant theme throughout this season has been whether or not the Toronto Maple Leafs would re-sign pending unrestricted free agent centre Mikhail Grabovski. The issue wasn’t only if they would get a deal done, but if they did what would the contract be worth. In the midst of the ups and downs of this roller coaster season the Grabovski contract has been a nagging splinter in the brain of Leaf fans. Yesterday morning it was released that the Leafs [...]

With the Toronto Maple Leafs (30-28-7) sitting five points behind the Winnipeg Jets for the 8th and final playoff position – albeit the Leafs have two games in hand – tonight’s matchup against the Boston Bruins (38-23-3) is a must win game for the blue and white. New coach Randy Carlyle had a successful debut against the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday, but how the Leafs fare against the Bruins tonight will be more of an indicator as to how much [...]

Numbers have begun to dominate talk as the NHL regular season winds down. The playoff push is in full flight and numbers are front and centre. One number in particular is five. There are five teams – Winnipeg Jets, Washington Capitals, Tampa Bay Lightning, Buffalo Sabres and the Toronto Maple Leafs – in the Eastern Conference that are within five points of each other in a mad scramble for the eight and final playoff spot. Make no mistake despite an [...]

Most fans have that player that they just can’t stand. Regardless of how the individual performs there always ends up being a way to complain and criticize him. Readers of this blog know that there are two such players on the Toronto Maple Leafs that I beat down on a consistent basis. The first being Tyler Bozak. Since the inception of this blog, I have called out Bozak and claimed he was not fit to be on the Leafs’ roster. [...]

On a night in which the Toronto Maple Leafs played their first game since 2008 without Ron Wilson behind the bench, the boys in blue and white defeated the Montreal Canadiens 3-1 at the Bell Centre. While one needs to reserve judgement for the next little while until new coach Randy Carlyle can implement his systems, there were many elements to last nights game that leaves fans feeling optimistic. Defensively the Leafs were dramatically better on the night, there were [...]

Hey, there’s a game tonight! While all the talk has been focused on the Toronto Maple Leafs (29-28-7) and the replacement of Ron Wilson as coach of the team with Randy Carlyle, the Leafs are in la belle provence tonight to face off against their oldest rival in the Montreal Canadiens (25-30-10). If you have been on vacation or in a coma since February 7th you might not be aware of the fact that the Leafs have gone an ugly [...]
