Game 15: Leafs Drop Hall of Fame Game 4-2 to Penguins

Before this one started, the Leafs held an incredibly emotional pre-game ceremony. The ceremony honored the 2022 Hockey Hall of Fame class but let’s be honest here; it was a homecoming for Leafs legend Borje Salming. Salming was in town for the first time since being diagnosed with ALS. Since being diagnosed with the disease, […]

Breaking: P.K. Subban Joins ESPN as an NHL Analyst

Confident, flashy, exuberant, electrifying, a game changer. Which of these terms would you use to describe P.K. Subban? Maybe you wouldn’t use either of these, and that’s completely fine. I thoroughly enjoyed watching P.K. play in the NHL, especially in his prime. You could always feel the anticipation and the volume in an arena rise […]

Habs Juraj Slafkovsky Suspended 2 Games For Hit From Behind

After being selected first overall back in July by the Montreal Canadiens, it wasn’t a lock that Juraj Slafkovsky was going to make the Habs’ opening night roster. He had a very subpar training camp which led many people to believe he would start the year with Laval of the AHL. Evidently, he would go […]

Game 14: Leafs Win Streak Snaps At Three in 4-3 OT Loss To Vegas

The Leafs give it their absolute all but unfortunately come up short as they lose 4-3 in overtime to the Vegas Golden Knights. It was a real treat seeing vintage Mitch Marner in this one, as he was around the puck the entire game making things happen. It was hardly an ideal start for the […]

Game 12: Leafs Continue To Roll With 2-1 Victory Over Bruins

There was a very evident buzz in the building to start this game involving an original six matchup (rivalry). The blue and white came into this one after what was arguably their best effort of the year thus far in a 5-2 victory against the Philadelphia Flyers Wednesday night. The Leafs welcomed back right-handed defenceman […]

Game 11: Leafs Make A Statement With 5-2 Victory Over The Flyers

The Leafs were finally home after an absolutely miserable five-game road trip that saw them post a pathetic record of 1-2-2. They defeated the Winnipeg Jets 4-1, lost to the Vegas Golden Knights 3-1, lost to the San Jose Sharks 4-3 in overtime, lost to the LA Kings 4-2, and lost to the Anaheim Ducks […]

Leafs POTW (Oct 15th-22nd): Oh, Captain, My Captain!

Utter chaos in large part thanks to the media, the fanbase demanding the team trade everyone essentially, and a head coach walking back his “comments” when he called out his star players for not playing well enough, all while going 3-1-0 since last Saturday. Just another week in Leaf land! Moving forward, I will write […]

Game 6: Leafs Defeat Jets With A 4-1 VICTORY

The Leafs came into this one after a 3-2 overtime victory against the Dallas Stars on Thursday. However, Leafs superstar Auston Matthews was roughed up several times in that one, so something had to give. Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe responded by putting both Wayne Simmonds and Kyle Clifford into the lineup for this one. […]

Game 5: Leafs Down Stars 3-2 in OT

To say there has been a little bit of drama in Leaf land since their loss to the Arizona Coyotes would be an understatement. The entire fanbase was curious how the team would respond after being called out by head coach Sheldon Keefe for their subpar performance against the Arizona Coyotes; you’d think the Leafs […]

Breaking: Leafs D Jake Muzzin Placed On Injured Reserve

The Toronto Maple Leafs have placed veteran defenceman Jake Muzzin on injured reserve as of Wednesday, October 19th. The 34-year-old Woodstock, Ontario native suffered what was determined to be a neck injury against the Arizona Coyotes on Monday night. Muzzin turned to head back up ice when he ran right into Coyotes forward Clayton Keller. […]
