Thank God! The NHL is going to change the schedule with proposals being presented in November. Having Crosby, in his third year, only now making his debut in Western Canada is a farce. Furthermore, the Leafs have lost their 6 point road trip of Western Canada. The TSN.ca article

This the first game day open thread. If you want to comment you can create an account with a valid e-mail and you As with all of the pre-season games they are available only on LeafsTV. Tonight the puck drops at 9pm with the pre-game on at 830pm. Here are

Anyone that visited my previous site knows that Nik Antropov is a personal favourite. He has always teased Leafs fans with flashes of the potential that made him a #10 pick but injuries have conspired to limit his effectiveness. Fans were quick to forget his fantastic end to the 2005-2006

The Leafs take their first step to becoming 2007-2008 Stanley Cup champions today with the first practice of training camp. Some might scoff at that assertion but when Maurice said that the Leafs would be in a dogfight to make the playoffs he was right so in terms of predictions

Well, it looks like the Mark Bell suspension is not set in stone. Mirtle has a statement up from the NHLPA and it includes what can only be called fightin' words: "We are currently reviewing all of our legal options with respect to this matter." This case

It's finally here! The Leafs' new jersey courtesy of Alec Brownscombe at the site that shall not be named. No more TML logo, simple Maple Leaf, and classy stripes. All in all it's keeping the hit (or non-disaster) parade going for the Original Six. Could

New Jersey Day is ruined. 15 games without pay is a fair punishment and the commish is hoping that it sends a message to the rest of the league: "Playing in the National Hockey League is a privilege, and with that privilege comes a corresponding responsibility for exemplary conduct

In about 17 hours the Leafs will be revealing their take on the new Reebok jersey template. There have been some rumours of what the jersey might look like but the roll out of the Red Wings', Habs', Bruins', and Rangers' seems to indicate that the

The following table is taken from a great Oilers site www.mc79hockey.com. Ironically, he is based out of Toronto so he is lucky enough to be force-fed tonnes of Maple Leaf content. He is running a season preview of teams focusing on shots for and against and related rates

Well, hopefully this isn't an omen. The baby Leafs coughed up a 5-1 lead before losing in the shootout. It almost makes it feel like spring again.

The team's annual rookie tournament begins tonight with a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. This year's tournament will be held at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium which is a bit of a shame because last year they held it at Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto which resulted in

The full Leafs schedule is now up with the television stations that will be carrying the team's march to a title. Now, you're probably thinking to yourself "How can God's Team have 20 games without television coverage?!". Well, fear not. Just dish

After examining the Mark Bell situation the league has suspended him indefinitely. Bell has said that he will not be appealing the decision which one would hope would take into account the changes he has already made. He was admitted into Stage Two of the NHL's Substance Abuse

Mark Bell, acquired from San Jose in the Vesa Toskala trade, has been admitted to the NHL's Substance Abuse and Behavioural Health program and will miss the start of training camp. The good news is that he will get more of the help that he needs. I'

The Toronto Star noted yesterday that Tony Salmelainen, formerly of the Oilers and Blackhawks and recently bought out by the Canadiens after the Samsonov trade, was in Toronto negotiating with the Leafs. Rumours abound (guess where) that this deal has been completed and Lowetide has a good look at his

The official unveiling of the Leafs' new jersey will take place in two weeks on September 13th. So far the new Reebok updates have ranged from the classic to the garish to the utterly confused. The Original Six jerseys have been dealt with pretty well thus far by Reebok

Welcome to Pension Plan Puppets. This is the latest addition to SportsBlog Nation's growing stable of hockey blogs. I'll be joining Die By The Blade, Winging It In Motown, and Mile High Hockey. It's fitting that the Leafs blog would be the 4th to
