This is yet another game we should have won.  We earned a point, but we needed two.  It was a road game and we rule on the road.  We currently have the most road points in the NHL with 38. When did the Islanders become so difficult to beat? Current

Again we outshot a team badly and lost.  We outshot Boston 43-22 but couldn't put a puck past Tim Thomas and slipped into a tie for ninth place in the East, a point in back of Carolina. Andrew Raycroft allowed three goals on 13 shots before getting replaced by Jean-Sebastien

If you read my recap of last night's Leaf game, you already know that I expected more from the pre-game ceremony honouring our 1967 Stanley Cup champions.  Why it all seemed so underwhelming has been bothering me ever since, but I think I know why the reaction was merely lukewarm.

The Leafs suck at pomp and circumstance.  I was totally underwhelmed by the pre-game ceremony honouring our 1967 Stanley Cup champions.  It was nice and all, but I expected something more.  I expected a longer ovation for Dave Keon, I expected it to at least feel like those awesome ceremonies

Tonight's the night.  Prior to tonight's Leafs game at the ACC, sixteen players from our last Stanley Cup winning squad will be on the ice for an emotional reunion.  The biggest draw is the inclusion of 1967 playoff MVP Dave Keon who surprised us all by agreeing to participate in

The Leafs could use a little luck.  Last night, Peter Forsberg skated for Philadelphia in the warmups but was traded to Nashville before the game, so we got a bad team without their best player. We chased Philadelphia goaltender Michael Leighton from the game after one period and held on

I thought we owned the Islanders?  Rick DiPietro stole this sucker for New York and we had to settle for the single point despite having outshot them 41-20. We're tied in ninth, but only two points behind 8th place Montreal.  That's right Hab fans, you're falling mighty fast.  Welcome to

I'm quite pleased this game even got to overtime.  Down 3-0, it was starting to resemble the last time we played these young guns.  Surprisingly, we came all the way back and even took the lead in the third.  I'll take the point. Kris Newbury was taken off the ice

In my recap of our 2-1 win over the St. Louis Blues I mentioned the brilliant save Andrew Raycroft made on Bill Guerin. YouTube, which gives me wonderful treats on a daily basis, has the video.  See for yourself.

Nobody is blaming me for this loss. This is the first game all season that I missed completely.  I learnt the final score from the info screen at St. George station on my way home from the ACC. The streak is over, but there's no shame in being beaten by

That's five... I didn't like him from the get-go, I saw him allow 1.5 bad goals a game and I begged Fergie to trade him and go with Aubin, and now I'm eating my words.  Andrew Raycroft has been stellar throughout this winning streak and last night he made

The post-all-star game winning streak has hit four, ladies and gentlemen.  Last night we coughed up a 2-0 third period lead in Ottawa only to win it in a shootout. With the East this tight, we have to keep winning.  We're currently sitting in ninth place and out of the

I don't know about you, but when Ian White sprung Mats Sundin on that breakaway in the third, everything slowed down for me.  It was as if I was watching our captain stride in one frame at a time.  When he snapped home the winner, I cheered so loud it

Lets face facts, since the All-Star game, the Leafs are undefeated, having outscored opponents 8-2.  The Rayzor has been sharp and even bums like Nik Antropov are contributing.  We've been more physical, playing with the heart and soul of a team determined to slip into that 8th spot in the

Pavel Kubina had his coming out party last night as we once again whipped our arch rivals from Montreal.  Kubina scored two goals and added an assist as we improved our record against the Haps to 3-0-2. We're tenth in the conference right now as we embark on a season-high

ESPN conducted a survey of 141 active NHL players.  They were asked questions like "who is the best natural goal scorer in the NHL" or "who is the toughest player in the NHL".  Players couldn't pick teammates. I got a chuckle from question number five.  "Game 7 of the Cup

This may come as a surprise to younger readers of this site, but the Leafs once won the Stanley Cup.  In fact, the Stanley Cup banner I'm staring at right now shows we won it eleven times, most recently in 1967. The Conn Smythe Trophy winner in 1967 was none

The big debate at my house yesterday was whether the Leafs would make the playoffs or not.  Ryan said we'd finish 8th in the conference and therefore make the playoffs.  Steve said we'd finish 10th.  I think we'll likely finish 11th. Ryan, I present last night's game as exhibit A.

The Rayzor stayed sharp and our all-star trifecta of Boyd Devereaux, Chad Kilger and John Pohl scored goals as our winning streak hit two. Kids, today's lesson is about goaltending.  When you get good goaltending, you can actually win games when you're outshot 41-19.  This is particularly true when the

Now that we all love Andrew Raycroft again, we have to get something sorted out.  Are we going to refer to him as Razor or Rayzor? I would have started Jean-Sebastien Aubin, and maybe that explains why I'm not a professional coach.  Andrew Raycroft finally played a great game and

Travis Green is no Ben Ondrus.  When Ondrus made his Maple Leaf debut last season, we went on to earn seven of a possible eight points.  With Green rejoining the team, our winning streak was stalled at one. Andrew Raycroft is clearly struggling.  I think I could beat him on

The Leafs are undefeated with Travis Green in the lineup.  Did you see that energy?  The season starts now... The line of Mats Sundin, Jeff O'Neill and Alex Steen needs a nickname.  Let's start calling them The SOS Line.  You read it here first, folks. Current Record Last GamesSeason Leaders20-19-6
