Howard Berger: More Hysteria in Leaf Land

TORONTO (Feb. 12) – The irony of the situation began to take hold midway through the second period, when it was all but certain the Maple Leafs had nothing on a night that meant everything. My memory backtracked almost 13 years to the day – Feb. 13, 1999 – when another pre-game party was ruined by the clash that followed. It was the final night of hockey at Maple...

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. While gainfully employed by the Maple Leafs, there continues to be speculation Luke...

Toronto’s trade deadline do’s and don’ts

By Dan BerlinThese Leafs aren’t falling. Instead, they appear to be on the rise up the standings this season. Despite losing their last two games, Toronto currently sits in seventh spot in the Eastern Conference, sporting a solid 10-6-1 record since the New Year. So with the trade deadline looming, and his phone surely ringing, Toronto GM Brian Burke is now on the hot seat, looking...

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...

Mikhail Grabovski still Focused even with Trade Rumours still Swirling

Toronto Maple Leafs forward and soon to be unrestricted free agent, Mikhail Grabovski has certainly dealt with his share of trials and tribulations this season.

Mike Augello: Leafs Still Have Lots Of Work To Do

The results of the last two games have proven one this to this hockey observer. While the Toronto Maple Leafs are a significantly better team than they were last season and have a better than decent chance of making the playoffs for the first time since the NHL Lockout, they are miles away from being a legitimate contender for the Stanley Cup. On Tuesday night, the club played...

Toronto Honors Sundin Tonight

from Doug Gilmour at the Toronto Sun, Over the years, I’ve heard about how Mats didn’t really get the full respect he deserved from Leaf fans during his time in Toronto because he might not crush defenders all over the ice like Wendel did, or perform with the same style as yours truly. In my mind, that has never been a fair comparison. Everyone is different. Everyone...

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...

When the Maple Leafs re-signed John-Michael Liles, the prevailing thought was that Mikhail Grabovski was about to become a cap casualty. Liles took less than $4 million to stay in Toronto, putting next year's cap space at slightly over $11 million. The problem was that Keith Aulie, Cody Franson, and Nikolai Kulemin become restricted free agents in line for raises, and Jonas Gustavsson...
