Facts are facts, with Ben Ondrus in the lineup, the Leafs are undefeated.  He played his first career NHL game and we won an essential four-pointer.  It's amazing what can happen when your best players play as if they're your best players.  Ed Belfour and Mats Sundin played well and

Ok Leaf fans, let's summarize the night.  The Leafs lost their fifth in a row, Montreal won their third in a row and Eric Lindros most likely played his last game for the franchise.  Yet another night in hell. I'm predicting we'll finish this season twelth in the conference.  Our

Is there anyone who thinks we have a snowball's chance in hell of winning against the Senators tonight?  I sure don't.  Watching Maple Leaf games in 2006 has been a rather painful experience.  We've now lost four in a row and we're 2-9-1 on the road since January 1. I

I awoke this morning to find my Maple Leafs sitting in eleventh place in the Eastern Conference.  We're five points behind Montreal for the final playoff position.  The window's closing, it's getting dark and I can feel a chill setting in. The other day I received an email from someone

Bret Boone retired today.  Only a few seasons ago he was an MVP candidate and elite player.  It doesn't take long to go from hero to boob in the sporting world. Ed Belfour once owned this city.  In April 2004, less than two years ago and the very last NHL

Mr. Belfour, your services are no longer required.  Ed Belfour allowed five goals on 27 shots, including two weak goals in the first minutes of the game.  If we're going to start putting points on the board it's going to have to be with Mikael Tellqvist between the pipes. Montreal

It's deja vu all over again.  Didn't Jagr just score two goals to lead his Rangers to a 4-2 win? When you win just three of their last 15 games, you deserve to get booed off the ice.  The Olympic break couldn't come at a better time for this team.

With another loss last night, we're officially ninth in the conference.  Boston, the tenth place team, is merely a single point behind. Following the game, Bryan McCabe told reporters "Jagr put on a clinic out there."  Good!  We needed to attend such a clinic, I only hope we learned a

Just when I was about to stick a fork in Ed Belfour and declare him done like dinner, he's put together two fantastic outings in a row.  It couldn't come at a better time with our arch rivals breathing down our necks. Prior to the game, former Leafs captain Darryl

When Ed Belfour and Mats Sundin play well, this team wins.  They were in top form last night and we ended a painful eight game losing streak. Jay Harrison scored his first point.  He's looked pretty good out there as one of three rookies on the blue line.  With Bryan

Eight is enough! With a measly one goal lead heading into the third, the Leafs acted as if they were simply killing off a twenty minute Montreal powerplay.  There was no effort to extend the lead, simply a weak attempt to hold on and squeak out a badly needed two

In my lifetime, which gets longer by the day, my beloved Toronto Maple Leafs have never played in a Stanley Cup final.  How is that fair?  Some have it worse.  Those born during the summer of 1967 can make the same claim, and they're seven years older than me, about

Things haven't been this bad since January 1997.  For the past seven games the Leafs have looked uninspired, disinterested and alarmingly inferior to their opponents.  It's now safe to say a career year for Bryan McCabe managed to mask a number of our flaws.  Once McCabe went down, a paper-thin

The Senators must love facing us in the regular season.  In six games against us they have twelve points. Losing sucks. Current Record Last GamesSeason Leaders24-21-3 51 points 3rd in Northeast4-3 Loss vs. Ottawa 7-0 Loss vs. Ottawa 5-3 Loss vs. ColoradoB. McCabe - 49 J. Allison - 39 T.

The Leafs are 0-4 when the Boon boys hook up to watch any part of a game, 0-5 against our provincial rivals and have now lost five games in a row for the first time this decade.  There's no way to sugar coat this, we're looking awful. We're stuck in

Is it too early to hit the panic button?  That's four losses in a row with the next couple of games in Ottawa.  No Leafs team has lost five in a row since Pat Quinn strolled into town way back in 1998. Our defense is pretty thin with Bryan McCabe,
