Antoine Bibeau needed to have himself a great game tonight. Not because the staff was going to put pressure on him, not because the players needed his support, but for his own confidence. Bibeau looked pretty solid in his appearance that slotted in between Jonathan Bernier’s shutout streak but really needed a second good showing. Tonight,…
Embed from Getty Images It’s the logical move to make. Mike Babcock today confirmed what most had already expected: that Garret Sparks, not Jonathan Bernier, would get the start in goal for the Leafs tomorrow when they host the San Jose Sharks at Air Canada Center. Bernier, of course, has had a rough go of…
Jonathan Bernier wasn’t good but he wasn’t the only one.
Embed from Getty Images Jonathan Bernier is back, and nobody is celebrating. Bernier recently finished up a “conditioning stint” (with a heavy emphasis on those quotation marks) with the Toronto Marlies – one that started off very, very, very well before ending very badly. In his return to NHL action, Bernier got lit up for five…

Embed from Getty Images The Toronto Maple Leafs are in the midst of a nailbiter at the moment, about to head to overtime against the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Battle for Steven Stamkos. In the meantime, two of the goals have special significance to Tyler Bozak, who picked up his 100th goal and 250th…
One of the many homemade signs getting trashed by security at the ACC tonight.#Stamkos2016 pic.twitter.com/H0OYMTZOJz — The Leafs Nation (@TLNdc) December 15, 2015 We all had a little bit of a chuckle at the “Sign Stamkos” posters that a Toronto Radio station printed out to give to fans tonight, but it looks like the team…
Lately there has been a lot of talk of pending free agents signing with the Toronto Maple Leafs. This was my attempt to put together a recruitment video to entice all pending NHL free agents, or at very least, one of them.
These cards will handed out tonight by a local radio station tonight #Stammergeddon2015 pic.twitter.com/esvlWSm5ci — Erik Erlendsson (@erlendssonTBO) December 15, 2015 What could be seen as a harmless joke by a local Toronto radio station could turn into a punishment for the Leafs organization.
View image | gettyimages.com The Toronto Maple Leafs have yet to confirm whether William Nylander is heading to the 2016 World Junior Hockey Championships, but it seems like Team Sweden is preparing for his arrival. At least, that’s what a reporter from Swedish Publication Aftonbladet is reporting.
