With the pain still relatively new, and the uninspired comments from locker room clean out day not exactly inspiring anyone to believe that the Leafs are committed to improving, but rather are waiting for the playoffs to align with their regular season, we’ve decided that someone needs to have reactionary plans for change if the…
Read More →Since the Toronto Maple Leafs have been eliminated from the playoffs, it’s now time for the trade rumours and free agent rumours to start swirling around, and since we talk about the Maple Leafs, I feel like the rumours are going to be coming out 24/7, simply because of how these playoffs ended for them…
Read More →Have a listen to the latest episode of Lamenting the Leafs featuring myself, Cam MacEachern, and Keith Whipple as we agonize over another postseason collapse by the Toronto Maple Leafs. Parental discretion is strongly advised. Discussions include: what made this collapse particularly maddening criticism for Matthews and Marner disappearing at the most important time how…
Read More →In what was undoubtedly the most physical, rough and tumble year of Auston Matthews career, it appears Matthews is still viewed as quite the gentleman. Sportsmanship combined with a high standard of play. Which finalist will be taking home the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy? #NHLAwards @NHLdotcom has more ➡️ https://t.co/Henp0vGuBW pic.twitter.com/N678HxOx0S — NHL (@NHL) June…

Read More →The Daily Face Off Rundown podcast dove into the next contract for Zach Hyman in their latest episode (around 8 minute mark) Jason Gregor sharing a rumoured offer from the Leafs of a $5M/yr contract, and Hyman’s cap rejecting that offer. Frank Seravalli went on to add that he expects Hyman to receive long term offers…
Read More →Ever since the Leafs were eliminated from the playoffs on Monday, I’ve been seeing a lot of how they should explore bringing in Seth Jones, especially since he’s made it clear with Columbus that he’s going to free agency when his contract expires. Whether that’s because he has an issue with the team, or he…
Read More →It’s hard to imagine getting much out of a press conference ever. Still for good or bad, they exist, and on a day when Leafs fans wanted to believe that sweeping changes were on their way or at least an identification of what went wrong, we were instead treated to muted endorsements of staying the…
Read More →There was a lot said from the players, management and fans over the last few days. Some good, some not so good. But after today, you sort of have a sense of where the Toronto Maple Leafs will be going when they move forward. It really seems like they won’t do much this off-season, but…
Read More →Welcome to a grumpy special edition of Page 6ix: Locker room cleanout. For today’s column, your writer is feeling salty and therefore will just be dumping the Leafs locker room cleanout quotes in here and snarking about them. There are many tweets from many reporters about what the players said, so I collected some…
Read More →Well that sucked. At the end of the day, I’m not entirely surprised, because this is the Toronto Maple Leafs and their entire brand is finding unique ways to crush your soul. But I definitely wasn’t expecting this. The Leafs had the best regular season in franchise history as far as points percentage goes, and…
Read More →The Toronto Marlies 35-game season came to a close on May 20th. It was an eventful last few weeks as the team played their final 13 games in the last 20 days of their season, due to AHL COVID-19 protocols. No playoffs, no Calder Cup — nothing.
