With the Leafs cap crunch looming, particularly with the flat cap and the potential that they may be signing Alex Pietrangelo, cheap depth signings are going to be key to maintaining success, especially when it could make up our entire bottom six on forward. Enter Alexander Wennberg, a center for the Blue Jackets who may…
With the NHL’s free agency opening date of October 9th creeping closer and closer, time is running out for Alex Pietrangelo and the St. Louis Blues to reach an agreement on a new deal. The two parties have apparently not started talking, and apparently Pietrangelo won’t be signing with them if he reaches free agency….
It seems like every year when he was in Philadeplhia, there was always some kind of a rumour about Wayne Simmonds coming to the Leafs, whether it’s actual trade rumours or just Leafs fans dreaming big. Well, now the pending UFA wants to come to Toronto. Could Wayne Simmonds be in a Leafs jersey next…
The Leafs are well into their offseason, and while there’s still hockey to be played, the Leafs focuses are on next season and what improvements they can make to the roster to finally put them over the hump. The good news for Kyle Dubas is that this will be, to some extent, his easiest offseason….

Well, it sucks that we’re at this point of the season, but honestly, should we really be surprised at this point? Come on, it’s the Leafs, they’re only allowed to play one playoff series a year at most, so once the first one is done, that’s it for us. So, with the Leafs out of…
To end my last column, I said that the blown lead only coming in Game 3 provided the Leafs with an opportunity to step up and prove to us and themselves that this team was different. With Game 7 against Boston in 2013, it was over for the Leafs, that was it. They didn’t get…
Normally with these columns, I try to keep them well-researched, well-thought out, so that even though it is opinionated, it’s supported by facts and not just bold claims. That’s not happening tonight. Unfortunately, my emotions are too high right now to form any sense of a coherent, well-informed thought. Now, I will start this off…
The Maple Leafs had a lot to prove after Game 1. The highly skilled roster fell victim to Columbus’ offense-stifling system and saw a big goose egg under their name on the scoreboard as a result. There were a lot of concerns going into Game 2. Would Keefe prove to us he’s not like Babcock…
That’s right, everybody’s least favourite column is no longer weekly during the playoffs. Instead of every Friday, I’m now going to be doing it after every playoff game, so that you all know exactly what I’m thinking going into the next playoff game, because I know you all care about my opinion. The Leafs had…
It’s probably a bit of an understatement to say that this year has created an extremely unique situation for the NHL playoffs. We’ll be watching hockey in the summer, see an extra round in the playoffs, see an extra eight teams get into the playoffs, as well as the fact that a playoff team that…
So last week I went all in on the Leafs beating the Blue Jackets in their upcoming qualifying series. And I still am. While the Blue Jackets have the advantage defensively, I think a lot of that relies on an extremely effective system put in place by John Tortorella to make up for the losses…
