The Maple Leafs gain a few more players ahead of their final practice before the New Years Day game against the Ottawa Senators. Coming out of COVID protocols today for Toronto is William Nylander, Jake Muzzin, and Morgan Rielly. All three players are taking advantage of the new five-day isolation rules, allowing each of them…
In this monthly Maple Leafs Milestone Watch column, we’ll be recapping the milestones of the previous month and setting up which milestones are likely (or even farfetched) to occur in the upcoming month. Last Month December was one of the strangest months the Leafs have seen in a while. The Leafs played just 7 of their…
It feel likes a long time since we’ve seen the Leafs play. We probably forget a lot of the small little things about how they play, but one that isn’t likely to slip from the minds of too many Leafs fans is the underwhelming play of Justin Holl. Even in the strong outing against Edmonton…
There continues to be more and more Maple Leafs players returning from COVID protocols ahead of their game vs. the Ottawa Senators. Rasmus Sandin, Petr Mrazek, Ilya Mikheyev, and David Kampf were the four players who returned to practice today. Maple Leafs’ Goaltending coach, Steve Briere, also came out of COVID protocols. Players practicing Dec….
The Olympics are decidedly less fun to watch without NHL players, or junior players, or really any players that we still have some vested interest in. The idea of staying up until 4am in order to watch a high stakes Spengler Cup isn’t for everyone, nor should it be. You need your sleep. If you…
It’s an off day for the Leafs, so technically the news isn’t coming from the rink, but rather from various PR accounts. First there were the two news stories from earlier in the day: Timothy Liljegren has been added to the NHL COVID protocol: Timothy Liljegren added to the Maple Leafs COVID protocol Also Topi…
Topi Niemelä has been steadily climbing the Leafs prospect rankings since being drafted in the third round of the 2020 NHL Draft, and with him currently suiting up for Finland in his second straight World Junior Championships in Edmonton, fans are growing increasingly excited to see him playing in North America full time. It looks…
Another day, another COVID setback. While the Leafs have seen some players return, we are now seeing a player that has been in contact with the active roster in practice now join the Protocol list and potentially be the first of another wave of players who weren’t on the protocol heading into Christmas. The Maple…
Here we are. We’ve reached the end of the TLN roundtable series that has run throughout the past couple of weeks. And while there are still a few days left in 2021, we thought we’d close out the series with another 2022 question, and one specifically focused on the New Year. Of course that means…
As Canada moves into a phase where attendance at games is limited, the NHL has taken action. Our games vs. Carolina (Jan 3) & Montreal (Jan 6) have been postponed. https://t.co/bEyfkz1yZe — Toronto Maple Leafs (@MapleLeafs) December 28, 2021 The Maple Leafs’ game vs. the Carolina Hurricanes on January 3rd and the game against Montreal…
With four days remaining until the Leafs’ next game, more players have left COVID protocols and are back at practice. Over the last few days, there have been plenty of transactions between the Leafs and Marlies. If I had to pick a day that had the most, I believe today would be that day. Let’s…
Yesterday we ran some of our 2022 predictions. Predictably the predictions focused on whether or not the Leafs could make it out of the first round of the playoffs. I left the question too open, that’s on me. Today we’ll get more specific with our predictions and we’ll talk about which Leaf is primed for…
