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. On a night when Tyler Bozak, who skates between Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul on Toronto’s top line, scored two goals, the focus moved off him and directly into the goal crease. Leafs goalie James Reimer entered the night riding...

Unpopular Opinion: The Phil Kessel Trade

Back on September 18, 2009 the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs made a blockbuster trade seeing budding star Phil Kessel traded from the Boston Bruins to the Toronto Maple Leafs for the Leafs 1st and 2nd round picks in 2010 and a second 1st round pick in 2011.  The prevailing thought on the trade was that the Leafs gave up too much for Kessel.  I have always believe that the...

Jets score more than once, win game (!)

Finally back in their own barn, the Winnipeg Jets broke the Toronto Maple Leafs’ five-game winning streak with a hard-fought 2-1 win in a game that had many a momentum shift.

Richard Cloutier: Oilers vs. Leafs: Which Team is More Interesting?

I'd never admit it to anyone else but you folks, but I actually am a fan of the Maple Leafs this season. Yep. Wanna know why? There are a few reasons, actually: 1. Phil Kessel is a player lots of people made jokes about, and Joffrey Lupul is a player many people had given up on. I love the underdog, and both guys have been lights-out all season. Kessel is going to be a 40...
