“You don’t get another chance, life is no Nintendo game.” — Eminem — Mike Babcock Mike Babcock’s tenure as the coach of the Maple Leafs is finished. Cooked, done, over. He’s forever etched into the first three-and-a-bit seasons of Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, and William Nylander. But he’s all done in his opportunity to make…
The Leafs are bad right now. Six losses in a row, two regulation wins in sixteen, an inability to win unless Frederik Andersen is in net, and no home games for another ten days. Things are at the lowest point of the Mike Babcock era, and that includes a last-place finish in the NHL and…
The Leafs: not fun to watch right now! On a five game skid, they take on the Vegas Golden Knights way past my bedtime. Let’s see if any of us make it through tonight’s game.

The Leafs fell 3-2 to the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday night, for their first loss in quite some time. Well, we might get to see the Leafs without Mitch Marner In the second period, Marner fell down. Jim Hughson said it was a broken skate blade. Joe Bowen said it was a broken skate blade….
What a different world we lived in last time John Tavares played a game for the Leafs. Kanye West hadn’t yet released a gospel album, the Washington Nationals had never won a World Series, and there had yet to be a cat on the field during documented Monday Night Football history. But since Oct.16, all…
The Leafs haven’t been very good to start the year, at least not up to their standards. They’ve won as many games as they’ve lost, and each of their four losses have been what seemed like, at some point or another, winnable games. They’ve held the lead at least once in every game so far…

The defending Stanley Cup Champion St. Louis Blues came into Toronto and steamrolled the Leafs by a 3-2 score. Wait, what? More accurately, the Leafs fell behind 1-0, scored twice in 24 seconds, and then saw a pair of unanswered goals dictate the narrative as Toronto couldn’t find enough to muster up a late tying…
While many of you may have grown up playing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and Underground video games, my favourite in the franchise was actually the 2006 release of Tony Hawk’s Project 8. The premise of the game was relatively simple: increase your clout and abilities to be named as one of the 8 people on…

Let’s get into it: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor prospect profile. When the Leafs signed Joseph Duszak in the spring of 2019, it sent shockwaves through the hockey wor- Okay, okay. We’re not fooling anyone here. Duszak was an interesting pickup with an impressive offensive resume in his final NCAA season. A three-year player with…

At 6’7″, he’s going to always been known as a “really tall defenceman”, whether he likes it or not. Always thought of as a bit of a project,…
