It's been a pretty boring game so far. The Leafs have played pretty strong defensively, especially in the neutral zone. Phoenix has less than 15 shots through two periods. That said, the Coyotes aren't slouches defensively either, as the Leafs have had only a handful of

Leafs score two quick ones, including a beauty by Darryl Boyce off a 1-on-1. If you're watching, I hope you like terrible officiating.

Leafs down one after a pretty awful period.  If they don't pick it up, things could get ugly.

Not much to report on at the moment, as the Leafs had a rare Saturday night off this weekend. The Buds are on their second west coast swing of the season, visiting L.A., San Jose, and Phoenix this week. Those games lead up to the return of Matt Stajan

After the Leafs 2-1 loss to the Boston Bruins on Saturday night, a game in which rookie netminder James Reimer produced another excellent outing, questions about the young player's immediate future were all the talk. Ron Wilson walked out on his post game press conference over it, and

A season and a half of pent up frustration was unleashed last night, as the Maple Leafs pasted the Atlanta Thrashers 9-3 on the road. Not only did the Grabovski line pot six of those nine goals, but James Reimer was solid in net yet again, stopping 41 of 44

First of all, Happy New Year! As Chemmy reported yesterday, there seems to be growing interest in several Maple Leafs throughout the NHL. It's obvious to any and all that the Leafs are completely out of the playoff picture. Brian Burke has admitted recently that his team is

On behalf of my brethren here at PPP, I hope you all have a very merry Christmas today. Not much new on the Leafs front at the moment, although there are plenty of fanposts and stories written over the past few days that are still ripe for discussion. Be sure

After losing two of three on the road in Western Canada, the Leafs return home to Toronto for three of their next four games.  The Leafs continue to have issues pretty much everywhere, although the penalty kill has been improved the past week.  As Vintage Leaf Memories writes, an inability

Even though they have over $7 million invested in the position, the Leafs continue to have issues with their goaltending. James Reimer was recalled from the Toronto Marlies yesterday, as it appears Jean-Sebastien Giguere might have a serious problem with his groin and will miss some time. Giguere spoke with

The Buds are in Edmonton today as their annual Western Canada road trip kicks off. The last time we saw the Oilers, they were embarrassing Toronto on home ice: a 5-0 drubbing on December 2nd that wasn't the best Leafs hockey we've seen this season. Ron

The Leafs were able to pull out 3 wins in possibly their toughest five game stretch of the season. Phil Kessel scored on a rebound and Tomas Kaberle was able to pot his first goal of the season last night in a big divisional match-up. Kris Versteeg added an empty-netter

There has been a lot of talk about the current cold streak of Phil Kessel. Some are quick to criticize for his inability to score with regularity since October, while some are quick to defend the young forward who has proven to be a dangerous player on a weak team.

Good news:  At least the Leafs don't have to play and live in Philly.

Good news:  Only 20 more minutes until the Leafs get in the game! /kidding (partly)
