The Toronto Maple Leafs just picked up Travis Green from the waiver pool. He was just floating there after playing seven games with the Anaheim Ducks this season. Last year with Boston, Green had 10 goals and 12 assists in 82 games. I have fond memories of Green from his
Reports are blaming this loss on a trip the Hurricanes took to the Hockey Hall of Fame. Apparently, after watching a video of their Stanley Cup win, they were highly motivated and ready to play like champions once more. I'm blaming this loss on the fact we're not a great
They recently added a new ring to the Stanley Cup for the Carolina Hurricanes and future cup winners, and that meant they had to remove a ring to make room. The ring they just removed included the Leafs' championship wins of 1942, 1945, 1947, 1948, 1949 and 1951. That's right,
A trend has developed. Whenever we annihilate an opponent, we lose the next game. To be more specific, we are now 0-4 following games in which we won by more than four goals. How's that for riding momentum? The kids are alright, but alright doesn't earn you a berth in
We haven't scored that many goals in a game since 1998. Alex Steen had a good month last night notching a hat trick and adding a couple of assists in a game that makes me feel great about shelling out a few bucks a month for LeafsTV. Like you, I'm
It was worth the wait for this recap. Mats Sundin scored twice and added an assist to help the Leafs start the new year right with a big win over the Bruins. Kris Newbury, who I thought was our best player the afternoon I watched the Marlies, scored his first
There was 2:06 left in the third when Chris Kelly scored. That's all. With Boyd Devereaux and Alex Steen providing the unlikely offence, I thought we were actually going to win this one. A win against our provincial rivals to close out the year would have been something sweet,
I've written a recap for every Leafs game since game one of the 2003/2004 season. That first game was a 4-0 loss to Montreal. When we lost a season to the lock out, I switched my focus to the St. John's Maple Leafs. I monitor my team's progress this
Minnesota must be bad on the road because even we managed to beat 'em. Jeff O'Neill scored the winner at 17:42 of the third. Our winning streak is now at one.Current Record Last GamesSeason Leaders17-16-5 39 points 4th in Northeast4-3 Win vs. Minnesota 3-2 Loss vs. Washington 3-1
That was an entertaining third period, wasn't it? Mats Sundin scored on a penalty shot and then 14 seconds later and I could taste the comeback. I'm still shocked we couldn't come up with a third. The less said about the first two periods, the better. If you remove those
We lost our second in a row and Mike Peca with a serious knee injury. I knew we should have held on to some of those nine we scored Saturday night. As we turn our attention to the World Junior team, expect Finnish goalie Tukka Rask to shine brightest. Remember,
Mario Lemieux just took the Pittsburgh Penguins off the market. The writing's on the wall and it looks as if the Penguins will call another city home next season. Ever the optimist, I've found a nice silver lining for Leafs Nation. Kansas City, Las Vegas, Houston, Oklahoma City and Seattle
Happy holidays Leaf fans! Here's a steaming pile of shite for your stocking. It's time for another goalie controversy. Andrew Raycroft allowed six goals on 26 shots and we can't blame them all on Hal Gill. It was a horrible effort all around, but if we're going to make the
This team sure is streaky. We've now won three in a row and this one was awfully impressive. Even more shocking than the fact we scored nine goals is the fact we're now tied for fifth in the conference. Kyle Wellwood had three goals and two assists to lead the
We had it, we gave it back and then Alexander Steen of all people extended our winning streak to two. Mats Sundin and Bryan McCabe each had three points in the win. Sundin now has 858 points with the Maple Leafs which moves him ahead of Dave Keon into second
The Isotopes win a game! The Isotopes win a game! Chad Kilger proved why he excelled in our skills competition by coming oh so close to his first NHL hat trick. The pulling of Jean-Sebastien Aubin for Andrew Raycroft seemed to provide the required spark. I think it had more
That was shite... pure shite. Normally I'd write something about Hasek having our number because he's beaten us nine straight times but I think Detroit would have won with Mark Gowan between the pipes.

Ron and Don just finished their thing, so here are a few quick thoughts from Toronto Mike after twenty minutes. Yes, I'm going to start referring to myself in the third person. I miss the Canadian Tire guy. He got the boot back in March and now the Canadian Tire
It's deja-vu all over again. Another third period lead blown, another loss. That's six in a row my friends. I missed the only goal because James' kindergarten teacher insensitively scheduled a parent-teacher interview during the second period. We've only scored eight times during this slide so when you miss one
This sucks. Another third period lead blown, another loss, another pathetic effort from the blue and white. That's five straight losses. I'm trying to remember the last time we put in a solid sixty minute effort. A glance at the standings this morning is alarming. We're seventh in points but
On the bright side, we scored a whopping three goals and actually earned a point in the standings. On the down side, we lost our fourth in a row and blew a two goal third period lead to those damn Habs. We'll be last in the Northeast in no time.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are getting a new uniform. The new jersey will be unveiled next month at the NHL All-Star Game in Dallas. We're being assured the changes will represent a "modernization" of the logo rather than a dramatic redesign. I hate it when they mess with our jerseys.
We had outscored the Thrashers 37-9 in our eight straight wins before last night's debacle. In three straight losses we've scored a whopping two goals. We've lost six of our past eight. I know you're itching to press this panic button, but don't do it. It's premature overreaction. We're in
Why can't we beat the Bruins? It probably has something to do with Tim Thomas who seems to save his best for us. Last night he made 45 saves, the little SOB. The Leafs sure are scoring now that Mats Sundin is back. By my count, that's two goals in
Mikael Tellqvist has been traded to the Phoenix Coyotes for Tyson Nash and a fourth-round draft pick. I've already said farewell to Telly. I did it here and I did it here. When it comes to netminders, three's a crowd. Besides, Nash is someone we really, really needed. You can
