The nautical theme suits the location.

With the win last night, the Maple Leafs are back on pace, with an extra point for good measure.

It was a grinder’s duel for one period, and then all hell broke loose.

The Leafs need to start a new winning streak, this looks like a good time to do it.

The word is that Roman Polak is coming off of IR for tonight’s game.

When you make your “pick and a prospect” fantasy trades, it helps if you first know what a prospect is.

If Gary Bettman has killed tanking, then who sells off at the deadline?

Has the good soldier in the press box run out of patience?

He has 16 points in his last 15 games.

Or just shutout everyone from now on.

Two weeks after it was first brought up, the Leafs send off Nikita Soshnikov to get ready to play again.

Their shutout of the Islanders made it three wins in a row. Now it’s time to make it four.

It’s not Matt Martin, however.

Justin Holl was brought to the Leafs under the emergency recall rules.

Two rookie defenders score, as the Leafs show off organizational depth in the best possible way.

Why is that, exactly?

Everything from facts to speculation.

It seems simple, until all these weird rules crop up you’ve forgotten about since last year.

There was a practice, and roster news, and now I want a game, dammit.

It’s starting to look like one of those puffy coats all the kids wear these days.

I wasn’t expecting to even get a number that high, so this is all a bit of a surprise.

He did score a nice goal, however.

You never know who will have a great week on the ice.

It all makes sense. I’m sure of it.

They call off hockey for this, so I guess it’s either that or find another sport.
