The St. John's Maple Leafs handed the Grand Rapids Griffins their first road loss of the season last night.  Rookie Matt Hubbauer of "Making the Cut" fame scored the winner  midway through the third period. The Leafs have now won eight straight home games and are 13-3 over their last

Every once in a while, you're going to lay an egg.  By all accounts, the Maple Leafs stunk last night in their tenth and final game of a lengthy road trip.  Still, 7-3 during that road trip is pretty awesome. Today's Toronto Star has an article that suggests these Leafs

The Maple Leafs won another at the ACC in front of a Canadian AHL regular-season record 17,422 fans.  It was a great game with Carlo Colaiacovo, Nathan Perrott and David Ling scoring for the Leafs and Mikael Tellqvist making the one goal lead stick. That's ten wins in twelve

The Maple Leafs won at the ACC last night, their ninth victory in 11 games.  Unfortunately, these were the AHL Leafs and not our beloved NHL Leafs. Announced attendance was 9,424, well short of the 19,000+ the NHL squad draws.  The two teams will play another at the

Reviewing the archives, it seems the Toronto Maple Leafs were in the midst of a great run about this time last year.  With the Toronto Maple Leafs nowhere to be seen, the St. John's Maple Leafs have taken the torch and are embarking on a great streak of their own.

The surging Buds won their fourth straight on the road, whipping the Hamilton Bulldogs 5-1 at the Copps Coliseum to end an ugly sixteen game winless skid in the Steel city that dated back to October 28, 2001.  Jean Sebastian Aubin won his debut as the Maple Leafs have now

No, you're not seeing double.  Last night, the Maple Leafs defeated the Edmonton Roadrunners in a shootout for the second game in a row.  Kyle Wellwood, David Ling and Harold Druken continue to carry the offense with each scoring a goal for an injury-riddled club that has eight wins in

The Maple Leafs have won four games in a row to pull within eight points of the Edmonton Roadrunners in the Western Conference's North Division.  Edmonton, however, has three games in hand.  It was around this time last year the NHL Leafs went on a similar run, if my memory

The Maple Leafs have won three games in a row to pull back to .500 on the season.  Clarke Wilm scored his first two goals of the season, including the game-winner, as the St. John's Maple Leafs edged the Edmonton Road Runners 4-3 in American Hockey League play Saturday night.

David Ling's power-play goal 51 seconds into overtime gave the St. John's Maple Leafs an improbable 4-3 AHL victory over the Edmonton Road Runners in front of a Mile One Stadium crowd of 4,714 Friday night. Harold Druken, Jason MacDonald and Nathan Perrott also scored for the Maple Leafs.

Kyle Wellwood set a new franchise record by scoring five goals in leading the Maple leafs to an 8-3 win over the Cleveland Barons.  Wellwood broke a mark previously set by three other Maple Leafs: Yanic Perreault, Todd Gillingham and Kelly Fairchild. It was quite the performance and it blasted

If the Toronto Maple Leafs had gotten off to a 1-4-0-1 start to the 2004/2005 campaign, there would be bedlam in the big smoke.  The Baby Leafs lost again but because it's the AHL we're not going to get our knickers in a knot over it.  Are we? Ian
