September 14th, 201801936The start of the hockey season is just around the corner. For Leafs fans, it couldn't come soon enough.
After an extremely nail biting off-season, things continued to go the Leafs way by landing the biggest free- agent and hometown boy in John Tavares. With the acquisition of Tavares, the Leafs have recently been given 13/2 odds...

It’s something that every kid dreams about. The opportunity of a life time to meet and skate with their idols.

July 3rd, 201801394It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity that every kid playing hockey dreams of.
You grow up idolizing your favourite team. You watch them for years and years and it convinces you to follow in the footsteps of your favourite player(s). You work hard to get to the big league with constant practicing, hard work and dedication. You’re...
May 1st, 201802569History has repeated itself for the Toronto Maple Leafs. It’s not as bad as the 2013 Game 7, but it’s still bad. And it hurts.
It’s the same dialogue. Another Game 7 with the lead and another collapse in the third period where they were poised to win.
After a season where much was expected from this team to take another big...

After the 2004/05 lockout, the Leafs have made some risky moves that brought ire to mainstream media and of course, the fans.

Finally the World Hockey Championships had some meaning. Usually it's a tournament that is on in the background of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs, but with the Ottawa Senators still around in those.....who really cares? I understand that some will be enjoying the Western Conference finals as Leafs fans go searching for...

How to Upgrade the Blueline?
Shortly after the lovely start of our 2016/2017 season, as some of you may recall, I wrote a piece called “Pimp My Blueline” outlining what I’d like to see the Leafs do to improve the corps on the backend for the short and long term. The piece mentioned potential unrestricted free agents to...
May 18th, 20170659In the end, the Marlies just didn't have the depth to keep up to a very skilled Syracuse Crunch team, and are now out of the Calder Cup Playoffs after a Game #7 loss last night.
