He’s (almost) back, baby! After suffering missing 15 games due to a shoulder injury suffered on November 15th, then returning on December 21st and immediately landing back on the shelf with a concussion, Trevor Moore has finally been activated from Injured Reserve this afternoon. In a corresponding move, the Maple Leafs assigned the 24-year-old winger…
While neither has specifically asked for a trade, per se, three members of the Toronto Maple Leafs organization are seemingly on the lookout for new homes in the New Year. As reported by Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman in his “31 Thoughts” column this week, Jeremy Bracco, Dmytro Timashov and Ben Harpur have reportedly each asked Leafs…
Please don’t read too much into this. Then again, it honestly doesn’t matter if you do. Earlier this morning, the Maple Leafs opted to recall Schrodinger’s defenceman, Martin Marincin, from the Toronto Marlies in an effort to fuel the theory that the hulking Czech is somehow both in the NHL and AHL at all times….
Did you hear about Sheldon Keefe’s promotion? Pretty big stuff, right? Roughly two weeks ago, the long-time Marlies bench boss finally got the call-up fans had been waiting for, jumping into the NHL to take over a little team called the Toronto Maple Leafs and leaving his former employer without a coach. Until now, that…
Say what you will about Mike Babcock the person — and a lot of people have done exactly that following his dismissal on Wednesday — but the past two games have revealed in unflinching detail just how much the ex-coach was holding this Maple Leafs team back. My goodness, folks. How did we let this…
Mike Babcock is out. Sheldon Keefe is in. Things move fast in this wacky world we call hockey. Try to keep up. The Keefes Nation aha — The Leafs Nation (@TLNdc) November 21, 2019 The aftermath of Babcock’s dismissal will be filled mostly with eulogies, the majority of which seek to tie a neat little…
The Toronto Maple Leafs sit fourth in the Atlantic Divison at the moment. Their power play and penalty kill, both led by assistant coaches who were brought in this summer, rank in the bottom third of the league, respectively, while their odds at qualifying for the playoffs languish at precisely 33.4% prior to Saturday night,…
The Maple Leafs lost last night. Then again, you probably forgot all about it, what with the barrage of bigotry and discrimination spewed from the mouth of a notoriously unsuccessful former coach/executive who continues to preach his agenda of exclusion upon the nationally-televised pulpit given to him by Canada’s Public Broadcaster overshadowing it. #HockeyIsForEveryone, though….
Fresh off their first lengthy break of 2019-20, the Maple Leafs are heading to Philadelphia tonight to take on a Flyers team that is, well, not very good. On paper, at least, this should be a terrific opportunity — a chance to forget the struggles of the past and forge a new, dominant path ahead….
Let’s keep the good times rollin’! After besting a tired Sharks team in Patrick Marleau’s emotional homecoming last night, the Leafs have a chance to kick off a new winning streak as they enter into enemy territory. Divisional leverage is on the line, folks. Let’s see who the Leafs are trotting out to counter. Forwards:…
I’m a big Friday Night Lights guy (the show more so than the movie). It’s just darn good television, folks. You should watch it. But if you don’t, allow me to quickly sum it up for you. FNL centres around the Dillon Panthers, a plucky high school football team locked in a never-ending quest to…
I’m a simple man. I have simple takes. I love hockey, and like to think I know a fair bit about it, but I’m also not blind to the countless scores of people out there who happen to know more. Way more. Just open up Twitter. You’ll find them. Heck, you’re probably one yourself. Applying…
