The Leafs and Penguins participated in hockey's favourite score yesterday, 6-5. To say that goals came fast and furious is an understatement. Leafs up 2-0 with 2 in 2 minutes, Penguins then had 3 goals in 3 minutes in the first period. Then we fast forward to end of the second period and Leafs s...
Well that was some kind of ugly in Toronto last night. Leafs up 2-0 in the third period against the worst team in the league. Sharks tied it up in the third period. OT solved nothing, which meant the Leafs had to participate in their first shootout of the season. It did not go well. At least t...
On February 1st the Leafs began a stretch of playing 11 of 13 games on the road. They're 8-1-1 through 10 of those games (7-1-0 on the road). Now they embark on their final 3 road games before 4 at home. Tonight's opponent, The Golden Knights have picked a point in each of their past eight g...
Trade deadline eve. Nine games in the NHL tonight. I think that's a song by Def Leppard and Tim McGraw. Oh wait, that's Nine Lives. The Leafs did it again last night. Scored two goals and lost. Amazing, they outshot Vegas 16-8 in first period and were down 3-0. Time to hit the nickle slots....
The Leafs made a couple of key moves on Friday. Scott Laughton and Brandon Carlo. Both deals cost the Leafs first round picks and players. However the Leafs had little cap space and Philly retained 50% of Laughton. Laughton has 11 goals on the season, 4 of which came in the same game (Dec 12 v...
So, no turmoil in Leafs land as we head to the playoffs. Toronto tried to trade Mitch Marner and he blocked the move. Leafs asked him to waive his no trade clause so he could be shipped to Carolina in a deal for Rantanen. Toronto and Rantanen apparently had agreed on an eight year contract. Whe...
The Leafs stretch of 11 games on the road during a 13 game stretch, comes to an end tonight in Utah. Then they head home for four games, with a key match up against Florida on Thursday. Toronto and Florida have 3 more games against each other this season. Matthews (3G, 15A) during a 12 game point s...
The Leafs picked up two points last night, but they gave one to Utah. A fate that has come too easily lately for Toronto is that they are blowing multi goal leads. Last night was a three goal lead. Leafs up 3-0 in the second period, then Utah scored three goals in 4 minutes to tie it up. Nobody scor...
Leafs got some help yesterday from their old buddies the Boston Bruins as they took down the Panthers in regulation. Heading into tomorrow's matchup in Toronto, the Leafs are two points behind Florida with a game in hand. Panthers had a 2-0 lead in the third period last night and couldn't close it...
Leafs kick off a 4 game home stand tonight. Florida, Ottawa, Calgary and Colorado are on the home stand menu. Panthers beat the Leafs, 5-1 in South Florida at the end of November. Toronto is 2 points behind the Panthers, with a game in hand. The top two teams in the Atlantic have been separated by...
Max Domi showed up last night with a goal and a fight. He's never had a Gordie Howe Hat-Trick, his dad had four of them. The Leafs took a big step backwards last night in the battle of the Atlantic. The depleted Panthers are now four points up on the blue and white. Matthews and Marner both playe...
No time to panic in Leafs land just yet. Just concerned. Toronto still has a 10 point cushion in the playoff race. Now they are tied with Tampa in the division. Ottawa has won five straight games against Toronto (regular seasons or otherwise) for the fourth time in the history of the rivalry....
