Matthews will compete in the accuracy shooting and the relay.

Auston Matthews could probably carry the show alone, but there are other players going to LA this year.

The gritty forward could be heading to Toronto a lot faster than Andreas Johnsson did.

It’s a classic good news/bad news situation, and that’s the good news.

Canada is sending a multi-national force to the United States today. No wait, sorry, that’s just the Maple Leafs going to visit the boys in red.

He fits in well in the Leafs top nine, and is part of their balanced approach.

He is an intriguing high-scoring defender who has had success in Orlando.

The Leafs are rumoured to be looking at a Russian player again. What’s it all about?

You’re not actually allowed to burn leaves in the City of Toronto, so I don’t know why they even came.

It’s one thing for a prospect to prosper in September on a men’s team. How are they doing now that playoffs loom?

It didn’t look like a goalie duel, but it kind of was.

It’s déjà vu all over again.

Another Leafs prospect receives the ultimate sign of respect from his team.

It’s so Swedish, there’s even a Volvo in it.

If someone opens the door for you, be ready to walk in.

Opportunity is knocking for Corrado

To that same old place that you laughed about.

Aside from a packed schedule of games, there are other dates to remember for the Leafs organization.

European teams are all back in regular action as they push to the playoffs.

You never know when opportunity knocks. You just have to be ready to seize it when it does.

The Canadian university player was signed to an ATO by the Marlies.

It’s a battle of red versus blue.

So, that vacation was a good idea. Five days of snorkeling between all games from now on!

The media sun has shone on the Marlies for a few days, and the optimism is thick in the air.

The Leafs are almost in a playoff spot halfway through the season. Is there cause for optimism or pessimism about the second half?
