James and I watched that hit on Tomas Kaberle and while I was envisioning our playoff aspirations disappearing before our eyes, he felt the need to clarify something. He looked at me and reminded me "they're not bad grown ups, they just play for a bad team". I disagreed with
What did Jean-Sebastien Aubin ever do to piss off Paul Maurice so royally? Guess who's getting the start in net for the Toronto Maple Leafs as we take on red hot Martin Brodeur and the New Jersey Devils tonight? That's right, Andrew Raycroft for the 26th game in a row.
I hate losing. I really hate losing to the Sabres. But the worst thing is losing big to Rochester. I knew Paul Maurice was going with Raycroft again and I knew it was a mistake. How many games in a row has Raycroft started? Isn't it time Jean-Sebastien Aubin got
It looks like the Leafs only made one deal today. We've sent young defenseman Brendan Bell to the Phoenix Coyotes along with a 2nd round draft pick in 2008 for former Maple Leaf Yanic Perreault and a 5th rounder in 2008. Perreault is pulling a Wendel and returning to Toronto
Gosh darn it, I thought we were going to come all the way back in this one. It was 5-2 heading into the third and I wrote this rant. A couple of goals later and the momentum was ours. We came close, but no cigar. Tonight we have Buffalo, but
About a year ago, our playoff hopes were dashed by back to back losses against the Habs. Here's my recap of that first 5-1 loss and here's my recap of that second 6-2 loss. I mention those games because Jean-Sebastien Aubin started his first game for the Leafs the very
There are exactly twenty-four hours to go before the 2007 NHL trade deadline. I've bookmarked TSN's Trade List and I'm visiting often. In year's past, I was looking for the Leafs to add a proven player for the playoffs. Big names like Rob Blake and Owen Nolan would become available,
From Hockey to Basketball in Three Minutes - The Air Canada Centre is the home venue of the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Toronto Raptors. In as little as eight hours, a crew of 18 to 25 workers can transform the NHL ice to NBA hardwood. This video was recorded
There's nothing like a trip into Philly to snap a losing streak. The Maple Leafs have won five in a row against Philadelphia and seven of the last eight meetings. Alex Steen and Jeff O'Neill each had a goal and an assist and Bryan McCabe added three assists as we
This is yet another game we should have won. We earned a point, but we needed two. It was a road game and we rule on the road. We currently have the most road points in the NHL with 38. When did the Islanders become so difficult to beat? Current
It's official. Maple Leaf Gardens will become a grocery store. After years of speculation, the company also made the formal announcement to investors that it will develop a grocery store in downtown Toronto's famed Maple Leaf Gardens."This is an icon, just like Loblaws is an icon. I think it
Again we outshot a team badly and lost. We outshot Boston 43-22 but couldn't put a puck past Tim Thomas and slipped into a tie for ninth place in the East, a point in back of Carolina. Andrew Raycroft allowed three goals on 13 shots before getting replaced by Jean-Sebastien
If you read my recap of last night's Leaf game, you already know that I expected more from the pre-game ceremony honouring our 1967 Stanley Cup champions. Why it all seemed so underwhelming has been bothering me ever since, but I think I know why the reaction was merely lukewarm.
The Leafs suck at pomp and circumstance. I was totally underwhelmed by the pre-game ceremony honouring our 1967 Stanley Cup champions. It was nice and all, but I expected something more. I expected a longer ovation for Dave Keon, I expected it to at least feel like those awesome ceremonies
Tonight's the night. Prior to tonight's Leafs game at the ACC, sixteen players from our last Stanley Cup winning squad will be on the ice for an emotional reunion. The biggest draw is the inclusion of 1967 playoff MVP Dave Keon who surprised us all by agreeing to participate in
The Leafs could use a little luck. Last night, Peter Forsberg skated for Philadelphia in the warmups but was traded to Nashville before the game, so we got a bad team without their best player. We chased Philadelphia goaltender Michael Leighton from the game after one period and held on
I thought we owned the Islanders? Rick DiPietro stole this sucker for New York and we had to settle for the single point despite having outshot them 41-20. We're tied in ninth, but only two points behind 8th place Montreal. That's right Hab fans, you're falling mighty fast. Welcome to
I'm quite pleased this game even got to overtime. Down 3-0, it was starting to resemble the last time we played these young guns. Surprisingly, we came all the way back and even took the lead in the third. I'll take the point. Kris Newbury was taken off the ice
In my recap of our 2-1 win over the St. Louis Blues I mentioned the brilliant save Andrew Raycroft made on Bill Guerin. YouTube, which gives me wonderful treats on a daily basis, has the video. See for yourself.
Nobody is blaming me for this loss. This is the first game all season that I missed completely. I learnt the final score from the info screen at St. George station on my way home from the ACC. The streak is over, but there's no shame in being beaten by
Chris Bosh scored a career-high 41 points as the Raptors beat the Orlando Magic 113-103 last night at the ACC. That's the Rap's fourth win in a row and their ninth win in 11 games. The Raptors are smoking hot right now, leading the division by 3.5 games. Hell,
That's five... I didn't like him from the get-go, I saw him allow 1.5 bad goals a game and I begged Fergie to trade him and go with Aubin, and now I'm eating my words. Andrew Raycroft has been stellar throughout this winning streak and last night he made
The post-all-star game winning streak has hit four, ladies and gentlemen. Last night we coughed up a 2-0 third period lead in Ottawa only to win it in a shootout. With the East this tight, we have to keep winning. We're currently sitting in ninth place and out of the
I don't know about you, but when Ian White sprung Mats Sundin on that breakaway in the third, everything slowed down for me. It was as if I was watching our captain stride in one frame at a time. When he snapped home the winner, I cheered so loud it
Being a Maple Leafs fan in the 80s was tough. There were some awful teams in that decade, but hope arrived in the mid 80s when we drafted #17, Wendel Clark. I will never forget the 1985-86 post season when we swept the Chicago Black Hawks in three games. That
