MAPLE LEAFS RUMORS & GOSSIP

Toronto Needs Goaltending Help

from Mike Brophy of Sportsnet, So perhaps a No. 1 centre may not be the top priority for the Toronto Maple Leafs at the trade deadline after all.

Leafs goalie James Reimer entered the night riding...

A meaningful game vs TOR

The Toronto Maple Leafs and the Philadelphia Flyers have had a relatively timid history in recent memory, but tonight should prove to be a nice change of pace. The Leafs actually have something to play for as the season winds down, and they find themselves well within striking distance of this hot-or-not Flyers squad. With a similar style of play, offense has been the root of success...

The Schenn Brothers Together In Toronto?

from Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun, Luke Schenn has a natural inclination to watch out for his kid brother Brayden. And while that task would be a lot easier if both were on the same bench for the Philadelphia Flyers, that’s not quite the close proximity that Luke is thinking of right now.

Unpopular Opinion: The Phil Kessel Trade
