It seems I caught Justin Pogge at Ricoh just in the nick of time. He's now a cab ride away at the ACC where he started for the Leafs last night. Pogge had another rough game, surrendering three goals in the first period. But this time, he gets to stick
Pittsburgh actually took a 2-1 lead into the third period before Jason Blake went crazy with a couple of nifty goals 19-seconds apart. It was a great period in which we'd score five goals in total. I'm sorry to see the Penguins mired in such a slump. With the Leafs
The last hockey game was played at Maple Leaf Gardens ten years ago yesterday. I have a lot of great MLG memories, having seen a number of games there during the 80s and 90s. I kept most of my ticket stubs, and here are some of the older style tickets
Justin Pogge was drafted in the third round, 90th overall, by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. He's currently a Toronto Marlie who gets called up to play for the Maple Leafs now and then. I had a few questions for him, as did you, and
Ya gotta love the NHL rule that saddles Cujo with the loss last night after Tosky got rocked for 4 goals in the first. Speaking of Maple Leaf goaltenders, I'm hooking up with Justin Pogge in an hour. No, that's not nearly as dirty as it sounds. I've got questions
I'm glad Jeremy Williams cleared waivers this afternoon and is headed back to the Marlies in the AHL. Firstly, that means I'll get to see him play on Saturday afternoon, and secondly, I like him as a player and hold out hope he can contribute to the Leafs. On February
If you were watching this one, you know we were up 4-1 in the third. This was a game I was willing to sacrifice. In fact, I'm willing to accept losing every game this season that isn't against the Senators or Canadiens. Right on queue, the Leafers collapsed and lost
I'm getting an interview with Maple Leaf goaltender prospect Justin Pogge. We're ironing out the when and where, but it's happening. If you could ask Justin Pogge a question, what would you ask him? Here are some I'll ask him..... Do you read what the press says about you? Do
Here's the Doug Gilmour bobblehead doll they gave us at the Marlies game last Saturday. It's way better than the Tomas Kaberle bobblehead they gave out last year. Kaberle is currently in three pieces, headless and without a right arm. And, Kaberle had a big sponsor sign on it whereas
I like Twitter. I can go weeks without checking in with Facebook, but I keep close tabs on my Twitter account. Today, thanks to Twitter, I finally visited Down Goes Brown's blog, one year old today. Ya gotta love a blogger with the handle "Down Goes Brown". What Leaf fan
I'd like to table something I've been thinking about for a while. In many regards, this is the greatest Leafs season a Leafs fan could possibly hope for. Allow me to explain... We're all okay with losing this season, so we find a silver lining when the Sabres cream us
You know the local sporting scene is desperate for anticipation when the main story heading into a Saturday night tilt between the Leafs and Habs in Montreal is Grabovski vs. Kostitsyn. Grabs never struck me as the fighting type, but he's been jawing at Sergei Kostitsyn all week. I think
My buddy Justin Pogge should sue his NHL teammates for lack of support. For the second game in a row he's been left out to dry. Believe it or not, I thought he looked pretty good in this game. It's official. Winning is no longer a priority for this team,
Finally, Bryan McCabe is scoring on Tosky when it matters. Unfortunately, McCabe scored in overtime, meaning we earned a point. We're a big six points up on the Sens and that's not as sweet as it sounds. Current Record Last GamesSeason Leaders19-23-9 47 points 4th in Northeast Division4-3 OTL vs.
That was another entertaining victory for the Leafers last night. Of course, I'm conflicted. I've come to terms with being content with a loss, but it was still so much fun hanging on for the win yesterday. I'd like to reiterate something I said back in September. Luke Schenn is
I was just checking in on Canadian Thinker when I saw Fred had posted a little tribute video for Dougie Gilmour. I have only ever owned two Maple Leaf jerseys: a #5 Bill Barilko and a #93 Doug Gilmour. Gilmour is my favourite Leaf of all-time. That's likely true for
Andrew Raycroft always had a knack for making the opposition look good. Last night, he didn't disappoint, as several Leafs broke out of lengthy slumps. Of course, we all agree now is not the time to secure two points. Once again, Raycroft is screwing with Leaf fans. Current Record Last
With Justin Pogge in net, I actually wanted the Leafs to win. Alas, it is as bad as it seems, and Pogge got pummelled, managing only 15 saves in his second career start. That's 12 losses in our past 15 games. It's interesting going back and reading this entry and
Justin Pogge gets the start tonight in Minnesota against the Wild. Then, no matter how he plays, he's returning to the Marlies. Apparently, the Leafs have a plan when it comes to Justin Pogge, and they're sticking to it. This is a good thing. It's good because the Leafs actually
This entry is for fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs. If you're not a fan of the blue and white, please stop reading. I need a forum with fellow life-long fans of the Leafs. It's natural for us to cheer Leaf goals and root for Maple Leaf victories. It's what
Remember when the Bruins sucked? It wasn't that long ago, and now they're leading the conference by a pretty good margin. That's where I want to be in a couple of years. I see we traded Robbie Earl to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for Ryan Hamilton. Although Earl only
Our Maple Leafs have gone 127 minutes, 51 seconds since scoring on home ice, and we lost for the 10th time in 13 games. Keep up the good work, guys! Current Record Last GamesSeason Leaders17-22-7 41 points 4th in Northeast Division2-0 Loss vs. Carolina 4-3 OTL vs. Atlanta 6-4 Win
The Leafs blew a 3-0 first-period lead and lost for the fifth time in six games. Yet another sign that Tosky ain't as advertised: Toskala was 5-0-1 with a 1.81 GAA against the Thrashers prior to last night. Current Record Last GamesSeason Leaders17-21-7 41 points 4th in Northeast Division4-3
I'm not at all comfortable with this. I'm actually disappointed the Leafs won this game. I shouldn't feel bummed when we're up 4-0. Blake had a monster night with three goals and two assists. Luckily for us, the Maple Leafs are 1-4 in the second half of games on back-to-back
