The Leafs and Penguins participated in hockey's favourite score yesterday, 6-5. To say that goals came fast and furious is an understatement. Leafs up 2-0 with 2 in 2 minutes, Penguins then had 3 goals in 3 minutes in the first period. Then we fast forward to end of the second period and Leafs s...
Well that was some kind of ugly in Toronto last night. Leafs up 2-0 in the third period against the worst team in the league. Sharks tied it up in the third period. OT solved nothing, which meant the Leafs had to participate in their first shootout of the season. It did not go well. At least t...
On February 1st the Leafs began a stretch of playing 11 of 13 games on the road. They're 8-1-1 through 10 of those games (7-1-0 on the road). Now they embark on their final 3 road games before 4 at home. Tonight's opponent, The Golden Knights have picked a point in each of their past eight g...
Trade deadline eve. Nine games in the NHL tonight. I think that's a song by Def Leppard and Tim McGraw. Oh wait, that's Nine Lives. The Leafs did it again last night. Scored two goals and lost. Amazing, they outshot Vegas 16-8 in first period and were down 3-0. Time to hit the nickle slots....
The Leafs made a couple of key moves on Friday. Scott Laughton and Brandon Carlo. Both deals cost the Leafs first round picks and players. However the Leafs had little cap space and Philly retained 50% of Laughton. Laughton has 11 goals on the season, 4 of which came in the same game (Dec 12 v...
So, no turmoil in Leafs land as we head to the playoffs. Toronto tried to trade Mitch Marner and he blocked the move. Leafs asked him to waive his no trade clause so he could be shipped to Carolina in a deal for Rantanen. Toronto and Rantanen apparently had agreed on an eight year contract. Whe...
The Leafs stretch of 11 games on the road during a 13 game stretch, comes to an end tonight in Utah. Then they head home for four games, with a key match up against Florida on Thursday. Toronto and Florida have 3 more games against each other this season. Matthews (3G, 15A) during a 12 game point s...
The Leafs picked up two points last night, but they gave one to Utah. A fate that has come too easily lately for Toronto is that they are blowing multi goal leads. Last night was a three goal lead. Leafs up 3-0 in the second period, then Utah scored three goals in 4 minutes to tie it up. Nobody scor...
Leafs got some help yesterday from their old buddies the Boston Bruins as they took down the Panthers in regulation. Heading into tomorrow's matchup in Toronto, the Leafs are two points behind Florida with a game in hand. Panthers had a 2-0 lead in the third period last night and couldn't close it...
Leafs kick off a 4 game home stand tonight. Florida, Ottawa, Calgary and Colorado are on the home stand menu. Panthers beat the Leafs, 5-1 in South Florida at the end of November. Toronto is 2 points behind the Panthers, with a game in hand. The top two teams in the Atlantic have been separated by...
Max Domi showed up last night with a goal and a fight. He's never had a Gordie Howe Hat-Trick, his dad had four of them. The Leafs took a big step backwards last night in the battle of the Atlantic. The depleted Panthers are now four points up on the blue and white. Matthews and Marner both playe...
No time to panic in Leafs land just yet. Just concerned. Toronto still has a 10 point cushion in the playoff race. Now they are tied with Tampa in the division. Ottawa has won five straight games against Toronto (regular seasons or otherwise) for the fourth time in the history of the rivalry....
Happy St. Patrick's. Last day to get a shamrock shake,So get two. Speaking of two. Leafs have 2 goals for or less in 5 of their past 6 home games (1-4-1). Flames are 2-3-3 over their last 8 games scoring just 15 goals (6 in one game). Leafs are 1-0-0 vs Calgary this season, a 6-3 win in Calgar...
The Leafs were back in the win column last night. They broke open a 1-1 tie after 20 minutes, with 4 unanswered goals in the 2nd period. Leafs put the game early in the third period on a McMann goal to go up 6-1. Toronto only had 3 shots on net in the final period. Their third period lack of offence...
The Leafs end their 4 game home cooking tonight with a backyard BBQ with the Avalanche. The teams met 11 days ago in Denver. Toronto had a 4-2 lead in the second period, yadda yadda yadda they lost 7-4. Avs are 8-0-1 in their past 9 games, outscoring opponent 40-17, going 10/26 on PP. They are 1-...
Well it's spring. It sure felt like that weather wise on Wednesday. I wore shorts and sandals, it was glorious. The Leafs came up most triumphant at home against Colorado, thanks in part to referee Kelly Sutherland setting up Steve Lorentz for the shorthanded game winner, so Benoit to Sutherland...
It's that time of year when teams start getting x-beside their name in the standings or e-for Well Bye. Capitals clinched a trip to the post season. Chicago and San Jose both got the Michael Kay, "C Ya" The Leafs are close to clinching a playoff spot. Definitely come back from their upcoming Cali...
Your tied for first Maple Leafs are in Nashville tonight. Toronto is 1-0-0 against the Predators this season, 3-2 win at home in December. Leafs are 4-0-1 in their last 5 games against Nashville, 1-0-1 in Tennessee in that span. I don't know if this is breaking news or not, but the Predators w...
Once again the Leafs blew a multi goal lead. It's like a broken record or a scratched CD. Toronto dominated the first period. At the end of 20 minutes Leafs were up 2-0 and outshot Predators 12-6. An then that was it for the offense. Managing only 14 shots the rest of the way and a disallowed goal...
Leafs have an espresso home stand, when they host the Flyers on Tuesday before they head to California. Big Thursday dilemma in Toronto. Jays season opener at 3PM, Leafs play at 10:30PM. I don't know if I'm in pace myself condition yet. It's a struggle. Philadelphia in town Tuesday, they had a...
The Leafs dominated the Flyers from start to finish last night, even though Philly scored the opening goal, they only managed 3 shots on net in the first period. The Leafs took a 2-1 lead to the dressing room. Then the flood gates opened in the second period with 4 straight by Toronto. Nylander and...
The Leafs are on their California dreams tour with stops in San Jose, Los Angeles, Anaheim and Wally World. Tampa also in action tonight as they host Utah. And then Utah is at the Panthers Friday night. Wonder if they are capable of a Florida sweep? Leafs, Panthers and Lightning all with 11 gam...
Thankfully the Leafs don't have to see the Sharks again this season. 0-0-2. Two shootout losses, But let's be half the glass full on this one, Toronto down 5-3 with under a minute left and they tied it up to send to OT. So a bonus point. Which has now reduced their magic # to clinch a playoff spot...
