The Leafs took a big step by letting go of Mike Babcock on Wednesday. As far as moves that could be made that would have the greatest impact on the Leafs players and this season that was it, and frankly it’s foolish to think otherwise. The coach controls the locker room, the strategy, the systems,…
The Leafs get to hit reset tonight as they face the Coyotes in Glendale. Well, not so much reset, as they get a chance to start playing their asses off for someone who isn’t committed to trying the same thing that hasn’t worked in the previous 23 games. Initially this was going to be a…
Toronto Maple Leafs President and Alternate Governor Brendan Shanahan announced today that Mike Babcock has been relieved of his coaching duties and Sheldon Keefe has been named the Club’s new head coach. #LeafsForever — Leafs PR (@LeafsPR) November 20, 2019 The Leafs have made the termination of Mike Babcock as Head Coach official, and with…
It seems like the end is nigh for Mike Babcock and the Leafs, and we are past the point of no return on his time as the Leafs coach. Whether you agree with that being the right decision or not, the fact that the fans, the team, the league, the media, etc. are collectively holding…
The @MapleLeafs have recalled forward Pierre Engvall from the @TorontoMarlies (AHL). Forward Trevor Moore has been placed on Injured Reserve. #LeafsForever pic.twitter.com/6GYUUncYIq — Toronto Maple Leafs (@MapleLeafs) November 18, 2019 Well, if you thought the Leafs could use a bit more size in the line up, good news, Pierre Engvall has been recalled. If you…
I’m going to start off by arguing that when the status of a coach’s future with the team has become the number one story in a team’s news cycle you’ve probably past the point of no return on whether or not you’ll be able to salvage that coach.
So the first quarter of the season definitely could have gone a lot better. I don’t feel I’m too bold by saying that. And you know, the fact that the Leafs likely won’t even have a first round draft pick to show for this season if they don’t make the playoffs, well, that’s not lost…
We’re going to start off with a positive because what we all need now more than ever is to hear something positive about the Leafs. The positive is that after tonight the Leafs don’t play Boston again until March and that will be last time the two teams face each other until the first round…
Kerfoot originally sustained the injury on Nov. 5 vs. Los Angeles. After Kerfoot reported ongoing discomfort while the team was in New York to face the Islanders, consultation testing determined that surgery was required to repair the facial dental fractures. (2/2) #LeafsForever — Leafs PR (@LeafsPR) November 15, 2019 Bloody hell. First, this sucks terribly…
Kyle Dubas spoke with the media today, and since he wasn’t announcing the firing of Mike Babcock, a trade for a generational defensive talent that will fix special teams and defense, or a loophole in the CBA that would allow them to spend millions more on the roster, it’s safe to say that he didn’t…
Babcock’s goal is six points every five games “We’re at the end of our four segments & we’d be set up perfect with 24 points. That’s exactly what we were looking for coming in & so we’re two away, we need this” Segments so far: 2-2-1 (5) 3-1-1 (7) 2-2-1 (5) 2-1-1 (5 + ?)…
It’s game 20, that world point when we stop complaining about sample size and can start embracing the stats we’ve seen throughout the year. It’s like nerdy Christmas, so I hope you all enjoy reading about High Danger scoring chances and the Leafs struggles with expected goals, because we’ll be churning out a lot more…
