You don’t need me to tell you again that the Leafs couldn’t have better-executed a road win in game one in Boston. We all saw it with our own eyes. Toronto will try to play with that same tenacity tonight in a game with absolute monster implications if they can take it down. I’d assume…
It should come as no surprise to many that the Leafs are going to be a playoff team this spring. Tonight made it official, as Toronto beat the Islanders and clinched at least third place in the Atlantic, putting 7 points between them and the Canadiens, with Montreal sitting at three games remaining. Look, it…
Though he narrowly missed making the Leafs out of camp, and has 46 points in just 54 games from the Marlies’ back end, Calle Rosen has yet to suit up for a single NHL game this season. That’ll change Monday night when Toronto recalls him for the game against the Islanders. Calle Rosen joining Leafs…
To say people are nervous about Toronto’s powerplay going into the playoffs would be a bit of an understatement. What was supposed to be an absolute destroyer of worlds when the season began has seen the Leafs’ conversion rate sink to 8th in the league to this point at 22-percent. That’s not exactly bad, but…
They might seem relatively minor, but there are plenty of updates to pass along regarding the Leafs’ lineup as it hopefully shapes into form before the playoffs. With 16 days until the postseason gets rolling, it looks as though this roster could get up to three substantial boosts with defencemen coming back off injury, as…
We’re about 20 days from the Leafs’ series opener against the Bruins, presumably in Boston with the way the standings are shaking out, and it looks like Toronto is on its way to at least getting one of its key blue-liners back before then.

In case you haven’t heard, Mike Babcock and Kyle Dubas are not on the same page. Or something. Maybe all of this talk about the team’s off-ice problems are completely made up for clicks, or perhaps this team is actually at a more critical moment than most of us believe. Personally I think things are…
“The best reality television going” is what Chris Johnston called the Leafs after their week from hell that eventually saw them get run over by the team with the best chance to win the draft lottery (for the Avalanche). And he wasn’t wrong; Last week was one of the most bizarre stretches of hockey I’ve…
I don’t know if you’ve heard, but the Leafs are almost surely going to start a playoff series against the Boston Bruins about four-and-a-half weeks from now (April 9th or 10th to be more specific). It’ll most likely be in Boston, since the Bruins apparently don’t lose games anymore, and the narrative machine will kick…
There’s been a lot of overblown opinion about the Leafs not being able to survive the playoffs in the way they’re currently constructed because they aren’t ‘heavy’ enough, or lack the toughness to make a deep run. Whether there’s a shred of substance to that or not, expect that type of talk to get even…
With the deadline now just a week away, we’re going to see almost-daily updates about which teams are circling each other and what names are out there from the teams selling off. And given Toronto’s position as a legitimate contender, they certainly fall into a potential buyer category; It’s just unclear about how big they…
Trying to get a handle on just how good the Leafs are this season has proven tricky to this point, as we sit just over a week from the trade deadline. Sure, they’re likely a contender as far as any team in that next tier under Tampa Bay can be, but you could argue that…
