Things were different four years ago. Only a couple of days after our men's hockey team won the gold medal in Salt Lake City, I hooked up with Tie Domi. I asked him about Pat Quinn's mood and if they had practiced since his return from Utah. Quinn had returned
If you've listened to any Toronto AM radio lately, you've probably heard the Joe Bowen ads for the new ACC condominiums. Maple Leaf Square is a two condominium tower that's being built next to the Air Canada Centre where our Maple Leafs and Raptors play their home games. The ads
I feel as if I've let my country down. All day today I've been dealing with snickers and sneers because my team failed to deliver when it mattered most. Everyone wants to discuss where we went wrong and why our play was so mediocre. Reading the Toronto Sun this morning,
It's deja vu all over again. Didn't Jagr just score two goals to lead his Rangers to a 4-2 win? When you win just three of their last 15 games, you deserve to get booed off the ice. The Olympic break couldn't come at a better time for this team.
For the second time in as many days, the CBC has messed me up with their scheduling. First they threw that extra zero in the mix and now I tuned in the Leafs game at 18:40 only to find out it's in the first intermission. Let me get this
With another loss last night, we're officially ninth in the conference. Boston, the tenth place team, is merely a single point behind. Following the game, Bryan McCabe told reporters "Jagr put on a clinic out there." Good! We needed to attend such a clinic, I only hope we learned a
Just when I was about to stick a fork in Ed Belfour and declare him done like dinner, he's put together two fantastic outings in a row. It couldn't come at a better time with our arch rivals breathing down our necks. Prior to the game, former Leafs captain Darryl
For a while, this game looked a lot like this one. We jumped out to a 3-0 lead and sat back while the opposition made a run. This time, Ed Belfour shone bright and we held on for a badly needed two points.Current Record Last GamesSeason Leaders26-23-5 57 points
I thought the Leafs did a really good job neutralizing Alexander Ovechkin. He took a number of big hits, had an angry Bryan McCabe in his face all day and had little room to work his magic. Unfortunately, there were other Capitals on the ice who made us look like
Despite having lost nine of their last ten games, the Leafs are still in decent shape to make the playoffs. We're currently sitting in the 8th and final spot with a three point lead over Montreal, Boston and Atlanta. Montreal actually has a couple of games in hand, but the
When Ed Belfour and Mats Sundin play well, this team wins. They were in top form last night and we ended a painful eight game losing streak. Jay Harrison scored his first point. He's looked pretty good out there as one of three rookies on the blue line. With Bryan
Eight is enough! With a measly one goal lead heading into the third, the Leafs acted as if they were simply killing off a twenty minute Montreal powerplay. There was no effort to extend the lead, simply a weak attempt to hold on and squeak out a badly needed two
In my lifetime, which gets longer by the day, my beloved Toronto Maple Leafs have never played in a Stanley Cup final. How is that fair? Some have it worse. Those born during the summer of 1967 can make the same claim, and they're seven years older than me, about
Things haven't been this bad since January 1997. For the past seven games the Leafs have looked uninspired, disinterested and alarmingly inferior to their opponents. It's now safe to say a career year for Bryan McCabe managed to mask a number of our flaws. Once McCabe went down, a paper-thin
We're down 2-1 after one period. Will this be seven in a row? Here are my favourite losing songs.... Losing My Religion - REMLosing California - SloanI'm Losing You - John LennonAngels/Losing/Sleep - Our Lady PeaceLosing Hope - Jack JohnsonI Can't Stand Losing You - The PoliceThe Losing
The Senators must love facing us in the regular season. In six games against us they have twelve points. Losing sucks. Current Record Last GamesSeason Leaders24-21-3 51 points 3rd in Northeast4-3 Loss vs. Ottawa 7-0 Loss vs. Ottawa 5-3 Loss vs. ColoradoB. McCabe - 49 J. Allison - 39 T.
The Leafs are 0-4 when the Boon boys hook up to watch any part of a game, 0-5 against our provincial rivals and have now lost five games in a row for the first time this decade. There's no way to sugar coat this, we're looking awful. We're stuck in
Is it too early to hit the panic button? That's four losses in a row with the next couple of games in Ottawa. No Leafs team has lost five in a row since Pat Quinn strolled into town way back in 1998. Our defense is pretty thin with Bryan McCabe,
Is there a guy my age who didn't love Guns N' Roses? I'm sure there is, but I'm not him. I was a huge fan. Although Axl Rose is the only guy left from the glory days of the band, he's been promising a new album for about a decade
I was enjoying a great road game with the Leafs leading by a goal when we took a penalty in the second period for having too many men on the ice. That put us two men down and Milan Hejduk promptly scored. That put us only one man down when
With a 3-0 lead in the first, I thought this game was going to be in the bag. I figured we could put it in cruise control and slap the two points on the board. I still can't believe we blew it. It was the first Saturday night this season
We outshot the Canucks 38-19 but couldn't salvage another win out west. Here's hoping Bryan McCabe doesn't miss many more games. He's the most difficult player to replace on this team. Saturday night we're hosting Gretzky's Coyotes and former Leaf Curtis Joseph. We went 1-2 on our west coast swing.
Has it been twenty years already? I have vivid memories of watching the Maple Leafs-Oilers game that took place on January 8th, 1986. The reason I remember the game so well is because of what transpired that night when my lowly Leafs met the best team in the league at
The Leafs have started another winning streak with a sweet victory in Edmonton. Mikael Tellqvist was sensational making 36 saves and Bryan McCabe added two assists to push his team-leading points total to 49. Ed Belfour is still a pretty darn good goalie, but he's 41 in April. I'm starting
Miikka Kiprusoff took care of our winning streak stoning us on a number of good third period opportunities to record his sixth shutout of the season. This was only the second time we've been shutout this season. It's Hockey Day In Canada with Ottawa and Montreal going at it at
