LGP 59: Leafs Last Home Game Before Trade Deadline

Well, last game, I highlighted O’Reilly and Tavares as two players to keep an eye out on, and they didn’t let me down, with O’Reilly netting a hat trick and one assist, and Tavares had a goal and three assists. While there’s much debate on where Tavares and O’Reilly will end up in the lineup, […]

LGP 50: Matthews OUT, Murray Revenge Game

The Leafs are back tonight with another Next Gen game as they take on the Senators while wearing their Flipside jerseys. Unfortunately, they will be without star forward Matthews tonight and for at least the next three weeks as he recovers from a knee sprain suffered last game. This will give the bottom six forwards […]

LGP 47: Leafs Look to Set Record Straight Against Habs

It’s hard to believe that it’s in the second half of January, and it’s only the second game the Leafs have played against the Canadiens. The Canadiens are without some key pieces of their lineup in Slafkovsky, Gallagher, Monahan, Evens, Armia, Caufield, and more. This season hasn’t gone well for the Habs, but they seemingly […]

It was made known to the public before puck drop that both Morgan Rielly and Rasmus Sandin were looking great in practice the past couple of days. Keefe said at this point, he would say both are close to returning, and he would consider both to be day-to-day. Great news for both the Leafs and […]

Game 16: Leafs Edge Out Canucks With 3-2 Victory

Last night’s pre-game ceremony was an emotional one but tonight’s was even more emotional, if that is even possible. The Leafs honored the spectacular career of Börje Salming. In my opinion, they honored more than what he accomplished on the ice. They honored the fantastic human Börje was and still is to this day. He […]

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, […]
