The World Juniors are still a week away, but that didn’t stop Team Canada’s Leafs prospects from putting themselves on the scoreboard. In a 7-1 rout of Belarus, first round pick and TLN’s preseason #1 prospect Mitch Marner picked up a goal while second-rounder Travis Dermott added a goal and two assists.

The thing about this year’s Toronto Marlies team, above all else, is that you have to accept that every single night will provide an opportunity for you to be dumbfounded by them. Of course, I mean that in the most positive way possible. But tonight? Tonight took that to a whole new level, as they…
The Toronto Maple Leafs had their ideal tandem in James Reimer and Garret Sparks for a brief, brief time. The Toronto Marlies had an ideal tandem of their own during that period, with Jonathan “AHL Shutout King” Bernier and Antoine Bibeau. That left the ECHL with Ryan Massa and Rob Madore getting strong starts. Everyone was…
The holiday season is upon us and Christmas is just a week away. For some, that means spending time with family, visiting friends and eating enormous amounts of excellent food. For us at TLN, it means demanding presents and getting our grubby hands on gifts. We’re not good people. Now, it turns out we forgot…
The Leafs’ goalies get fed to the Sharks because of brutal defence.
On this episode, the guys try to figure out the Toronto Maple Leafs’ goalie situation and the perpetual gong show that is the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Vancouver TV ratings down, Jets unrestricted free agents want big dough, did the Leafs accidentally tamper with Steven Stamkos, Flames and Oilers righting the ship, Taylor Hall is Edmonton’s beating heart, a hockey advent calendar, Leafs new jersey ideas, Ryan Callahan drops Scott Hartnell, fantasy hockey and more in this week’s Nation Roundup brought to you by DraftKings.

I’m writing this through my tears (kidding, kind of), so bear with me if I misspell anything or just start mashing the keys in agony. How about that Bernier, though? *whispers* pity…
D MORE]Embed from Getty Images Leafs fans have been more than happy to give Garret Sparks as much ice time as he wants until he proves undeserving, and after Jonathan Bernier’s less-than-stellar last start, Mike Babcock was more than happy to give him a shot. In a twist of fate that screams “typical Toronto”, however,…
Embed from Getty Images Tonight, the Columbus Blue Jackets face off against the Arizona Coyotes at the Gila River Arena in Glendale. Savvy readers may have picked up on the fact that this is a Leafs pregame post on a Leafs-centric website and that neither of these teams are the Toronto Maple Leafs. That said,…
Embed from Getty Images The Jonathan Bernier story this season doesn’t appear to be going away. We’re over a third of the way through the season and he doesn’t have a win. He’s been passed on the depth chart by both Reimer and Sparks, he’s had an AHL conditioning stint, he’s been called out by…
