The Toronto Maple Leafs have traded goaltender James Reimer, along with forward Jeremy Morin, to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for goaltender Alex Stalock, forward Ben Smith and a conditional fourth-round pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. I'm not going to write about every Leafs trade over the

The Toronto Maple Leafs have traded captain Dion Phaneuf, Matt Frattin, Casey Bailey, Ryan Rupert and Cody Donaghey in exchange for Jared Cowen, Colin Greening, Milan Michálek, Tobias Lindberg and a 2nd-round draft pick in 2017. Dion Phaneuf was brought to Toronto in a big 7-player swap with Calgary back

Last season was the first time in my life that I rooted for Maple Leaf losses, and I didn't start doing that until the second half of the season. I hated it. This year, I'm finding it much easier. At this point, unless my son wants to watch the game

When I first learned the Maple Leafs were going to change the logo for next season, I had one simple request: stick to history. Last night, the new logo was unveiled. I liked it right away. It reminds me a great deal of the old 50s logo on the front

Ford of Canada has partnered with the Toronto Maple Leafs to award 200 tickets for every home game. I scored a couple of these tickets last season and my daughter and I had a blast. Nothing makes a kid happier than free all-you-can-eat popcorn. Here we are, guests of the

According to Chris Creamer of SportsLogos.net, the Maple Leafs are expected to unveil both a new logo and entirely new uniforms in time for the 2016-17 season, which will be their 100th as a franchise in the National Hockey League. It’s all just part of the Leafs’ plans

With a 3-0 win over the Edmonton Oilers last night, Garret Sparks become only the 23rd goalie in NHL history to record a shutout in his first game. He's the first to do it as a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Right after the Leafs game ended last night, TSN aired episode one of The Leaf: Blueprint. It's a documentary series about this Leafs team, although drenched in extreme bias. It's an MLSE production, so it's as much a PR mechanism as anything. It opens with Brendan Shanahan talking about growing

Typically, I'm all over the Leafs in the preseason. This year, it's a different story. This year, I've been so consumed by the Blue Jays I haven't had the time or desire to watch the Leafs. I saw ten minutes of a preseason game against the Red Wings, was reminded

Brendan Shanahan, President and Alternate Governor of the Toronto Maple Leafs, announced today that Lou Lamoriello has been named the 16th General Manager in the Club’s history. Lamoriello joins the Leafs after previously spending the last 28 years in the New Jersey Devils organization. I didn't see this coming,

The Toronto Maple Leafs have traded Phil Kessel to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Way back in 2009, Brian Burke pulled the trigger on a trade with Boston that scored us Kessel a 1st and 2nd round draft pick in 2010 and another 1st round pick in 2011. That 1st rounder ended

With the fourth overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft, the Toronto Maple Leafs have drafted Mitchell Marner of the London Knights. I've had this feeling since April. This past season he tallied 44 goals and 82 assists to amass an astounding 126 points across 63 OHL games. He's not

My oldest son thinks he's Bob McKenzie. Yesterday I got a passionate and detailed analysis as to who the Leafs might draft fourth overall and why. Some scenarios have Noah Hanifin dropping to fourth, others have us picking Dylan Strome or Mitch Marner and then there's the Ivan Provorov wildcard.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have won the bidding war for Mike Babcock with a monster $50 million deal over 8-years. There's plenty of work to do before this team is competitive again, but this is a solid start.

The Toronto Maple Leafs hold the fourth overall pick in this year's NHL entry draft. Will they select London Knights center #93 Mitchell Marner?

What an awful, awful, awful, awful, awful 2014-15 season that was for our Leafs. So little passion, so little skill, so little entertainment... For the first time I can remember, I stopped tuning in. It's never been this bad, this early. But there are a few positives from this horrific

The Toronto Maple Leafs have traded forward David Clarkson to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for forward Nathan Horton. This is not a joke. This is the real mofo deal. Clarkson was signed in July 2013 but didn't last two seasons. My doppelganger has been given the boot and

When the Leafs traded Cody Franson and Mike Santorelli to the Nashville Predators, I felt the first flame had been sparked in operation Scorched Earth. Since then, I've readjusted my expectations. I no longer believe the Leafs will be able to trade anyone beyond the expiring contracts. Daniel Winnik signed

If I'm available to watch a Leafs game, I always tune in. This is even true for preseason games, and has been the case for as long as I can remember. I have always thoroughly enjoyed watching my hockey team, regardless of quality. This has always been the case, until

The Toronto Maple Leafs have traded defenceman Cody Franson and forward Mike Santorelli to the Nashville Predators for Nashville’s first-round selection in the 2015 Draft, and forwards Brendan Leipsic and Olli Jokinen. Operation Scorched Earth has begun...
