It's over. The Brendan Shanahan era with the Toronto Maple Leafs, that is. MLSE has opted not to renew Shanny's contract and they're parting ways after over a decade of The Shanaplan. Before that, I wrote about Brendan Shanahan's retirement. He was my favourite non-Leaf. Today that title belongs to
"We had too many passengers" is an actual line uttered by Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews following a gutless game seventh performance for the blue and white. The Leafs are now 0-6 in Game 7s in the Matthews era, after losing 6-1 to the Florida Panthers last night. Too many

We're watching game six of the NHL Western Conference final with Edmonton having a chance to win the series on home ice. My wife is from Edmonton, so she's invested. I was just thinking that it's June 2nd and my wife's NHL team is still playing. And no matter what

Remember the good old days when the Leafs would frequently meet the Ottawa Senators in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and Toronto was always the victor? I remember this happening four times between 2000 and 2004. We had their number. Boston has our number. The Leafs have now faced the Bruins
I didn't tune into a single Argos game this season until yesterday. That's not an anti-CFL thing, it's really much more of an anti-football thing. For the past decade, I've really only been interested in playoff football, be it of the CFL or NFL variety. But yesterday, when I got
Bobby Baun played in the NHL for 17 years, winning the Stanley Cup with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1962, 1963, 1964, and 1967. Bobby Baun is best knwon for scoring a key goal on a broken leg. On April 23, 1964, having fractured his ankle earlier in the game,

I'll spare you the details, but like many Torontonians, I've been rooting for the Toronto Maple Leafs since I discovered the joy of sport as a young man. When we swept Chicago in three (that's right kids, we could sweep in three back then), I celebrated like we'd won the
