I hate being right.  My prediction following our 7-1 win over Washington on Friday night was a 2-1 loss to the Bruins.  It's been that kind of season.  Our best player returns and scores the only goal of the game. I happen to believe we'll make the playoffs, but we're

I play in a couple of different slo-pitch leagues each summer, and one is the RSPA.  The president of this league is a nice fellow named Randy Warren who just sent me a note. its Randy from RSPAI just printed a new book - an autobiography of Danny Lewicki, who

This is why I cough up an extra $3 every month to those bastards at Rogers.  This was a great game for Leafs fans that reminded me of the first game I watched on LeafsTV.  I cheered so often, I lost my voice. The second period was particularly impressive when

You didn't really think we could win two in a row in Buffalo, did you?  This was an entertaining game with the Leafs jumping out to a 2-0 lead and then fighting back to tie it at four.  The winning goal came after an Andrew Raycroft miscue knocked him on

Here in the land of ridiculously low expectations, John Ferguson gets rewarded.  The Toronto Maple Leafs have picked up the one-year option for 2007-2008 on the general manager's contract. Sure, we're off to a pretty good start, but does a 12-6-4 record translate into a birth in the playoffs?  Maybe,

The Leafs scored more goals during the opening ten minutes than they did in the previous two games combined.  Then, they barely held on. I might be out of my mind, but I thought Nik Antropov played a pretty slick game.  He wasn't his usual inept self and he finished

Ummm, not to alarm anyone, but remember when we were all worried about who would score on this team?  With two goals in two games during two losses, it might be time for us to flood sports radio stations with our valid concerns.Current Record Last GamesSeason Leaders11-6-4 26 points

We just didn't seem to have any offensive punch last night.  It could have been the lengthy layoff, it could have been the Willie Nelson, it could have been the wine. I was glad to see us escape with the point, and we owe it all to Jean-Sebastien Aubin.  The

Life is good.  Life is very, very good.  That's seven of eight if you're following along at home. Again, the defence led the offensive attack as we outshot Montreal 41-26 and scored three power-play goals.  Is there anything better than creaming the Habs on a Saturday night?  Now it's the

Just before Andrew Raycroft went down with a groin injury, I was thinking about how the guy has won me over.  He looked very sharp against his old club and we were coasting to our third win in a row.  I'm digging Raycroft's play for the blue and white and

After the first period last night, I thought we'd cruise to a 6-0 victory.  We were relentless and only the Philly goalposts kept it 1-0.  Then, we took the second period off before sealing the deal in the third. I wasn't happy with the Andrew Raycroft signing.  He was coming

I was just reading about the Curse of Muldoon.  The Blackhawks haven't won the Stanley Cup since 1961 and they're blaming Pete Muldoon and a curse he put on the club back in 1927.  That's their excuse for having the longest cup-less drought in NHL history.  Guess who's #2? The

Who says we can't win in Buffalo?  Last night we spanked the Sabres, becoming the first team to beat them in regulation all season. This game was a pleasure to watch.  Mats Sundin was awesome, young Ian White was flying, Jeff O'Neill and Darcy Tucker were scoring, the entire team

Rats, the winning streak's over.  We were badly outplayed last night and I just feel sorry for the suckers who coughed up $10 to watch it on the big screen. Believe it or not, this was Jean-Sebastien Aubin's first loss as a Toronto Maple Leaf. He's now 10-1-3.  He played

That's three in a row!  Back in September I openly wondered who would score on this team.  I predicted we'd get a bunch of goals from the blueline.  Until recently, I was very wrong.  But now, the blue line is leading the charge thanks to Tomas Kaberle's fifth goal in

I'm a winner again.  With a powerplay flurry in the first ten minutes we took the lead and never looked back.  86 seconds of strength to secure our longest winning streak of the season. Ok, I was there, and I want to talk about #80, Nik Antropov.  I've asked this

My bad luck streak when it comes to attending live professional sporting events in Toronto comes to an end tonight.  At least, I hope it does. Here's how it's gone over the past couple of weeks. Leafs vs. Avs, October 18 - We stink and lose 4-1Argos vs. Roughriders, October

This was the one that almost got away.  We were clearly the better team but our two goal lead evaporated in the last seven minutes and it ended up going seven rounds deep in the shootout before Kyle Wellwood deked the pants off of David Aebischer to win it for

Ottawa has won 10 of 12 games between the teams since the beginning of the 2005-06 season, outscoring the Maple Leafs 57-30 overall.  I acknowledge this regular season dominance.  I also recall defeating the Sens in four playoff series during a five year span from 2000-2004. You can keep your

The Leafs and Sens are taking turns stinking up their respective home arenas.  On opening night, we were shell-shocked at the ACC only to win 6-0 in Ottawa the next night.  Now, we've taken another beating at home and should return the favour tomorrow night in Ottawa. That can't come

I hate to admit it, but I'm rooting for the Habs tonight.  They're hosting the Sabres who are 8-0-0 out of the gate.  Back in 1993-1994 the Toronto Maple Leafs set the NHL record by going 10-0-0 to start the season.  If your memory of that tenth win is a

On the bright side, the Leafs applied some awesome pressure late in the third to force overtime.  That cheer you heard was me when Jeff O'Neill scored with three minutes left to tie it at 4. This shootout loss ended our longest winning streak of the season.  That's right, we've
