LGD: Bounce-Back SZN
The Toronto Maple Leafs have been the league’s most confusing team for the last handful of games. They’ve started out horrendously slow in all three of their most recent games, allowing a combined 17 goals to boast a horrendous 5.67 goals against average as a team since March 11th. While they all but flatlined against…
LGD: Nazem Kadri Returns
The Leafs are staring down the possibility of yet another first-round exit at the hands of their playoff bogeymen in Boston.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have finally started to turn things around, squeezing out a few wins after struggling through the meaty part of January.

LGD: Bernier v. Sparks no more
The last time the Detroit Red Wings and the Toronto Maple Leafs squared off this year, the teams opted to deploy the Tandem of PTSD and Sadness in Garret Sparks and Jonathan Bernier, letting the team’s most controversial duo from the 2015-16 season face off in their respective redemptive roles. It was supposed to be…
LGD: Matthews’ team vs Matthews’ team
The Toronto Maple Leafs have had a mediocre month, dropping to a 4-6-0 record in their last 10 games while their fellow Atlantic Division standings-toppers have each been on a bit of a tear.

The Leafs completed their Floridian back-to-back Friday night and it did not go according to plan.
Postgame: Leafs on the other end of comeback against the Avalanche
Sometimes it’s tough to just close out games – shut down the opposition earlier on so they wouldn’t be able to blow past you in the score. But the Avalanche did exactly that against the Leafs, coming back from a 2-0 deficit to win 4-3 with two empty-net goals for the win.
