April Fools day, who is the more foolish? the fool or the one who follows the fool? I thought the price of gas was a prank this morning, but evidently not. Great stuff, extra butter on the popcorn. Big night in the NHL with 10 games. Tampa and Florida will pick up their game in hand on the Leafs...
The Leafs got a wee bit of help last night. Montreal surprised Florida with a late game tying goal and then a quick one in OT, to send the Panthers to Toronto with a lost point. Lightning triumphed against the Islanders. So the Wednesday night showdown in Toronto has the Panthers sitting in third pl...

Leafs have officially clinched a playoff spot, this is their 9th straight post season appearance, longest active streak in NHL (Boston at 8, well they aren't making it 9). Carolina also clinched a playoff spot on Wednesday night, their 7th straight season trip to the post season dance on ice. Ma...
Canadian teams were 5-0-0 on Thursday night and the playoff picture still remains cloudy. Montreal winning and Columbus losing, means the Habs are in sole possession of the WC2. Ottawa winning means they are 8 points clear of the Rangers who are the first team on the outside looking in. The Jacke...
Tampa and Florida both clinched playoff spots yesterday despite both losing in regulation. Kings clinched a spot with their shutout win over the Oilers. The Leafs put a major dent in the Jackets playoff hopes with a 5-0 win at home on Saturday. Robertson back in the line up scored twice as did Wil...
The wild wild east. All of a sudden the Senators are two points behind the Panthers with both teams having 5 games remaining. Montreal occupies the second wild card and seem comfortable with a 6 point advantage over the Rangers. Looks like last years Presidents' Trophy winner won't be in the playoff...
Big night in the NHL, an Ottawa win, and a Florida regulation loss and the Senators will occupy third place in the Atlantic. Tampa took care of business at MSG last night, which puts the Rangers on the verge of "well.......bye" So tonight the Leafs can help out the Senators, by beating the sl...
So the Leafs have decided to make the top of the Atlantic interesting with their no show against the Panthers last night.Florida who has been struggling to not only win a game, but score goals. Hitting the mesh for the Panthers these past two weeks has been a challenge, they had to bring in the moti...
Leafs would not be De-Knies a victory in Tampa on Wednesday evening. A Knies three goal game did the trick for Toronto in beating the Lightning in OT. Knies (29) is now a goal away from doubling his output of last season. Knies had only scored twice in his previous 16 games. Leafs came out flying an...
The Leafs will have two games on TV tonight as the Wings are at Tampa, Detroit lost in Florida Thursday night. The other game of interest this evening is Montreal in Ottawa. Habs sit in the only unclinched playoff position. Over in the West, the Oilers will try to punch their post season ticket...
The Habs hit a bump in the road on their way to clinching a playoff spot. That bump was the Ottawa Senators on Friday night. The win by Ontario's other team last night, pretty much solidifies the Senators in the wild card 1 spot, and perhaps a collision course with the Leafs in the first round. Th...
Leafs took another step closer to the Atlantic title on Saturday with a 1-0 OT win over the Habs. Montreal suffering from Ontario fatigue after back to back loses in Ottawa and Toronto. Toronto absolutely shutdown the Habs Saturday night, allowing just 7 shots on net through two periods. Four strai...

And then there was 1. One point the Leafs need to clinch the Atlantic. One point for Marner to reach 100 on the season. One goal for Matthews to have 400 career goals. Marner will join elite company, only three players have collected 100 points in a season. Sittler, Dougie and Matthews, each reached...
Ten games in the NHL tonight, playoff positioning on the line. Calgary still has a life left in the west as they are in a must win game at home tonight against Vegas. Montreal blew a clinching chance on Monday as they blew a two goal lead at home against Chicago, Habs managed to get a loser point ou...

And then there was one. One spot left for the NHL playoff dance. Habs sit two points up on Columbus. Blue Jackets need to win in regulation on Thursday at home against the Islanders, they also need the Canadiens to lose in regulation on Wednesday against Carolina. And one of those teams will be off...
Last day of the NHL regular season. Then the quest for Lord Stanley's Cup is on. Playoff picture is all set, as of press time only two series dates have been confirmed, both in the west, both on Saturday. Canadian content for the playoffs, Leafs vs Senators, Capitals vs Habs, Kings vs Oilers and...
Are you ready for this? The Battle of Ontario has arrived. Hey all, this is Ek. Kevin Gibson is off today due to a family obligation. He will be back tomorrow for sure…. If you’ve read me for a while, you know that I am a big believer in playoff matchups: That certain teams have certain...
The Leafs, they came, they saw, they kicked ass on Sunday. Ottawa may have dominated shots on net early on. They were never in the game. Toronto controlled the game from start to finish. A team on a mission. The Leafs were all business. Senators looked like a team just happy to be there. Stolarz...
Game two in the battle of Ontario, part five. The Leafs have not had a 2-0 series lead since 2002 vs NYI. Leafs won that series in 7 games, home team won every game. The loss by Ottawa puts their road record this season at 18-20-4, 0-2-1 in their last 3 road games, with just 4 goals. Last line chan...
Leafs are on rare ice with a 2-0 series lead, something they haven't done in over two decades.They've never lost a best of seven series after going up 2-0 at home. Max Domi scored the OT winner, putting himself and dad Tie in rare company. They became the fifth father-son duo in NHL history to...
Simon Benoit overtime specialist. Benoit had a goal and nine assists in 78 games during the regular season. He has a goal and an assist in overtime in the series. Toronto took a 3-0 lead in a best-of-seven series for just the second time in the NHL’s expansion era (since 1967-68), following t...
Toronto holds a 3-0 series lead for just the second time since their last Stanley Cup win in 1967, both instances Ottawa has been the victim on the other end of the hockey stick. Ottawa is 2-3 in Game 4 when facing a 3-0 series deficit Simon Benoit who has two playoff points to his name – bot...

Stolarz faced just 21 shots in almost four periods of hockey. on Saturday. Defensively the Leafs were getting the job done. Offensively the power play dried up, going 0/4 including four minutes in OT. You kn ew bad things were going to happen after Ottawa killed off the high sticking penalty.And J...
I see that Brady Tkachuk said that he recently watched the documentary on the Red Sox 0-3 series comeback against the Yankees, so he knows that it's possible. Instead of referencing a more recent NHL version of an 0-3 comeback he goes with MLB. I don't think Pedro, Manny, or Todd Walker are availab...
