It’s been a while since we’ve done a mailbag, so in this the beginning of the dark of void of no transactions and no hockey being played, we thought we’d reach out to you, our beautiful readers to see what’s on your mind, and what we can answer for you. Our writers were eager to…
While the Leafs might be done with the on ice moves for a while, they are apparently not done overhauling the hockey operations department… Hearing former #FlaPanthers asst GM Eric Joyce is joining the #Leafs in a role expected to be Director of Hockey Strategy. — Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) October 22, 2020 So a couple…
It looks like Edmonton will be back for Hub City 2: Electric Boogaloo. A Hockey Canada press release announces the tournament will get underway on Christmas Day, a day early than the usual Boxing Day start: For the first time since 2005, the IIHF World Junior Championship, a holiday hockey tradition, will get underway on…
(NOTE: That was literally the only Leafs photo of him in our library. Sorry Tyler) Tyler Gaudet will be back with the Marlies next season… 🖋 News: We’ve signed forward Tyler Gaudet to a one-year AHL contract. #ForeverStartsHere Details >> https://t.co/n3KeNpk072 pic.twitter.com/b7sNg2iKuC — Toronto Marlies (@TorontoMarlies) October 16, 2020 Gaudet had previously been on a…
You know it’s a slow news day when we’re putting together Marlies roundups, but here we are. This is life a week after free agency, and hopefully this isn’t how we roll for the foreseeable future. I guess beggars can’t be choosers and Marlies news is better than nothing, so here we go. First up……

Wait, I’m being told it can absolutely be considered…
It’s been eight months since this site really committed some time to the notion of Joe Thornton being a Leaf. We were pretty sure it was going to happen at the trade deadline, and when it didn’t I don’t think any of us assumed it would be gone forever. Joe Thornton and the Maple Leafs…
A lot of the heavily lifting has been done. Tweaking remains, and it might be heavy tweaking, but there really only seems to be one must do left on the Leafs to do list and that is track down a third string goaltender. Toronto.. Thank You💙These last 4 years have been filled with amazing moments…
