Hey, remember when the Leafs destroyed Calgary last night?
That was fun, hey? Against the team with the second most points in the league, Toronto came and handily walked right through them.

Barry Trotz’ “coach of the year” performance is a sham
Okay, okay. Tonight is not about Barry Trotz at all. It’s about John Tavares, his decision to come to the Maple Leafs, and a New York Islanders team who would like nothing more than to beat him in the barn he played most of his NHL home games in before coming to Toronto. But you…
Islanders to partner with local preschools in order to house entire arena of babies

John Tavares forced the Montreal Canadiens into a panic trade for maybe the NHL’s worst forward
On Saturday night, John Tavares scored the overtime winner in his first game in Montreal as a Leaf. In case you forgot, the Leafs signed John Tavares, while he did not even give Montreal the time of day to give them an interview. Today, the Canadiens decided to combat that by acquiring one of the…
Postgame: An Original Six(ty shots) matchup
Let’s look at a chart to start things off. The Leafs are in red, and their line goes up every time they attempt a shot. They scored one goal in this game. The Rangers scored four. Hrmph. The Leafs’ only goal was this beauty from Kasperi Kapanen, in which a bad guy (look it up…
