Another Leafs game, another loss.  Before this season began, I received some flack for calling this the worst Leafs team ever.  Then, they came out of the gate playing some inspired hockey and I heard rumblings about making the playoffs. That inspired play is long gone, and the one positive

Yeah, we lost another game.  We're 3-7-0 in our last ten games.  As bad as that is, it's not even as bad as Ottawa, which means we're doing something wrong. Repeat after me, Leafs fans.  Just lose, baby! Current Record Last GamesSeason Leaders16-20-6 38 points 4th in Northeast Division4-1 Loss

I missed this one because I was busy supplying the tunes for a parrr-teee at a corporate retreat at Horseshoe Valley.  It looks like I missed a real gem. I see Brad May got his first fight as a Leaf out of the way.  Sure, we lost handily, but that

Thanks to a tip from Elvis, we called this one.  The Toronto Maple Leafs have made a trade, acquiring Brad May from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for a conditional sixth round draft pick in 2010. May has been around forever, and is a toughie.  And Brian Burke likes the

Bryan McCabe  returned the Toronto and helped his Panthers beat us good, but I'm more interested in what might happen today. Elvis is a new local blogger who blogs at My Morning Expresso.  Today he wrote that his associate was at a breakfast today where Brian Burke was a speaker

My, how the mighty have fallen.  It wasn't that long ago that we couldn't buy a regular season win against the mighty Sens.  They were in the Stanley Cup final, we were missing the playoffs.  They were an all-star team, with Alfie, Spezza and Heatley leading the charge.  Now, they

There would be no 451st win for Curtis Joseph on this night. Going 0 for 5 on the powerplay didn't help matters. Cujo, by the way, has a 3.93 GAA.  Why not see what Pogge has? Current Record Last GamesSeason Leaders15-17-6 36 points 4th in Northeast Division4-1 Loss vs.

Curtis Joseph finally has his 450th career NHL victory.  He actually looked pretty sharp after allowing two quick goals and we came back to improve his record this season to 1-4-1. Cujo will be rewarded for his efforts with another start tomorrow night when the Maple Leafs host the Buffalo

The Maple Leafs have lost three games in a row, getting outscored 16-4.  We're in danger of becoming the Kazakhstan of the NHL, and that might just be what the doctor ordered. Brian Burke, listen up.  Outside of our young Jedi, trade anyone who will bring you a draft pick.

I don't know about you, but I've already started emotionally distancing myself from Tosky.  Clearly he's not long for the blue and white and he's not who I thought he was.  He had another rough start last night. We lost badly to the worst team in the league, but when

Tosky recovered quickly and got the start in place of my choice, Justin Pogge.  Tosky then allowed 7 goals before getting pulled for Cujo.  Admittedly, Tosky's not having the year I predicted he'd have, but I watched this game and these really weren't bad goals.  I think our D broke

Justin Pogge made 19 saves to earn his first NHL victory in his first NHL game.  Jeremy Williams scored again, giving him goals in five of six games this season. I'd like to see them put Pogge back in net tonight against Dallas.  Cujo can back-up Pogge until T'osky's healed.

It's finally happening.  Tosky hurt his groin and Justin Pogge has been called up to the NHL form the Marlies. We'll likely see Pogge make his NHL debut tonight. The entry I want to write was already written last January.  But it was written by me, and cleverly entitled "Nothing

Kic, you picked the right night to drive to Pittsburgh.  We annihilated 'em in a laugher. In a super fun Saturday night game, Jeremy Williams scored yet again.  That's goals in four of five games this season.

323 entries on this blog contain the word Sundin.  He's been the best player on our team since the 1994/1995 season.  Even casual hockey fans know Mats Sundin plays for the Toronto Maple Leafs.  At least he did—he now plays for the Vancouver Canucks. On June 28, 1994,

On the bright side, we were down 5-1 before storming back to within one.  We even chased Tim Thomas after two periods with the Bruins leading 6-5. Until we blew it in the third, this game was practically reminiscent of the greatest Leafs game I ever saw live.  In that

It seems we've finally found a team we can beat in a shootout.  And Blake is officially back in the good books with a pretty little spin-o-rama to win this one. But enough about Blake, let's talk about Jeremy Williams.  This guy scored again last night, and potted another in

It's looking like this is the week Mats makes his decision.  I'm hearing Thursday. Not surprisingly, I have something to say on the subject, but I need to find time to put these passionate thoughts to HTML. This is just a head's up that my open message to Sundin is

Jeremy Williams scored another goal as we took out the Sabres in Buffalo.  We all know Williams has scored a goal in his first game after being called up, each of the past four seasons, but is that an NHL record? It depends how you look at it.  In terms

Who was that wearing Jason Blake's #55 last night?  With six points in his last three games, including three last night, Blake is threatening to become an asset. One of those assists came on Jeremy Williams' first goal of the season after getting called up from the Marlies.  Williams has

During a write-off season like this, I enjoy focusing on the few bright spots, especially our young jedi Luke Schenn.  It was tough to see him go down last night with a lower-body injury, and he'll be out for at least two weeks. Remember when we outshot the opponent in

Let's talk about Tomas Kaberle.  He's still got that baby face, but can you believe this guy is now 30-years old?  He's been a Leaf since 1996, and is consistently one of our top performers.  Until this season, I don't recall any complaints about Kaberle.  He's just been solid. Now

So that's how a good team plays... I hope the Leafs were taking notes.  One day, we too can be the San Jose Sharks. Did you know Matt Stajan leads the Leafs with 21 points but is only 47th overall in the NHL in that category?  It's true, you can

Brian Burke is 2-0 as president and general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs.  Tosky was sharp and Grabs scored his 10th goal. The Grabovski pick-up was a wise move by Fletch, but I still shake my head at the Jamal Mayers trade.  We shouldn't be giving up draft picks
