It seems like it’s been forever since there was someone worthwhile on waivers. The reality of COVID and the value of depth, mixed with taxi squads has made it so players you wouldn’t normally touch with a ten foot pole are getting claimed, and worthwhile depth players are finally being treated as a commodity. That…
The Hobey Baker award is the most prestigious individual award in the NCAA. Every year there is a length process of creating a long list of nominees, and an initial round of voting takes place to get that list down to ten and the competition starts getting real. Right now we’re still in the initial…
In someways it feels later than usual, but from a scheduling perspective it’s much earlier than usual, but no matter how you look at, trade rumour season seems to be upon us. Now I fall into the crowd that loves trade rumour season. Most of my school workbooks were half filled with trade proposals I’d…
If I were to ask you which two Leafs would you most like to see get some rest over the All-Star weekend, you’d probably answer Jack Campbell and Auston Matthews. And to that the NHL will say you’re shit out of luck because… โญ๏ธ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ โญ๏ธ#NHLAllStar | #LeafsForever pic.twitter.com/PCUWnGEzF2 — Toronto…
It’s 34 games into the Leafs season. Well actually it’s 35 games in, because the Leafs played the Coyotes after I wrote this, and but for the purpose of what you are about to read, 34 games have been played. With that comes some pretty established trends in regards to how things are going for…
Some quick news out of Sheldon Keefe’s media availability this evening… Per Sheldon Keefe, Timothy Liljegren & Joey Anderson are in tonight Marner & Engvall expected to join the team in Arizona tomorrow @TSN_Edge — Mark Masters (@markhmasters) January 13, 2022 The most exciting aspect of this is the return of Mitch Marner (and Pierre…
We should just be able to enjoy nice things, and at this exact moment, Ilya Mikheyev is a nice thing for Leafs. His return from injury has seen him pick up 4 goals (5 points) in 5 games. He’s playing 16 minutes a night, and he’s still one of the fastest players in the game….
The idea of bonus hockey always seems appealing until it’s added to a game that already had a 10pm ET start time, is followed up with another late game tomorrow, and doesn’t involve blowing a 3-1 lead. Nevertheless, the Leafs picked up a win on the road against a very solid Golden Knights team, even…
The Leafs are back at it tonight in Las Vegas. A locale that the red hot Auston Matthews has thrived in… After a long series of NHL/World Junior postponements, @rayferrarotsn and I are back with Toronto/VGK tonight on TSN4 for viewers in the Maple Leafs region. Toronto won the 1st meeting 4-0 at home Nov…
We mentioned it around the time that Matthew Knies was added to the American roster, but USA Hockey seems to be making the most of the opportunity afforded countries by not having NHL players going to the Olympics and instead they are sending their up and coming talent to get their feet wet in high…
The Leafs flew to Vegas and put in a light day of practice work. Light day of work, means light news as well, but here’s what we’ve got… Keefe said it was a maintenance days for Matthews, Campbell. Kase skated early and is "progressing". He wanted them on the ice today for a while ="to…
How does it affect the Leafs? Well in the case of the Olympics, it could be the chance to scout some depth signings that could help out the cash strapped Leafs down the stretch. Heading into the trade deadline this year, Toronto doesn’t really have a lot of wiggle room, and they find themselves very…
