The Flyers-Devils game went to overtime, with Ponikarovsky pushing the Devils ahead. Kovalchuk had three points in his return. New Jersey leads the series 2-1. The Blues continue to have no answer for the Kings, who've jumped to a 3-games-to-none lead. Barry Trotz will make an interesting and

Every year, for some reason, I look forwards to the absurdly long hockey game of the playoffs. Not just the 95 minute game between Rinne and Luongo from 2011, but the 107 minute game between Leclaire and Fleury of 2010, the 101 minute game between Osgood and Hiller of 2009,

The Leafs played the last game of their season tonight. It, like every game since February 6, was not pleasant to watch. The loss ties the Leafs' end-of-season points with the Ducks, but as regular-and-overtime wins are tied, and the Leafs only played one game against the Ducks, the

Dion Phaneuf looked more like a leader than ever tonight, since the Leafs beat the Sabres 4-2. Ben Scrivens was called up to replace the injured Jonas Gustavsson, and his 29 saves on 32 shots were brilliantly motivated by the inspirational angle at which Captain Dion left the volume knob

The Toronto Maple Leafs stood on a sheet of ice with an NHL team tonight. It was called a game, but I'm not sold. Someone recorded 17 shots for someone, but every one save for Grabovski's goal was completely forgettable. The flaccid power play went 0/

It feels like summer's already here, because the reruns have already started: the Leafs pulled out a yawner of a performance against a team from the south east on a Tuesday night. A couple people mentioned on twitter, but there wasn't anything to get excited about.

The Toronto Maple Leafs blew a two goal lead to give us the gift of Nazem Kadri in the shootout at the cost of gaining two points in the standings (Bozak also had a slick move). With the win, the Leafs fall to seventh place, but have two more games

74 down, 8 to go. With tonight's loss to the Islanders, the Leafs sit in 6th place (from the bottom) with 72 points, and have one more game played than every team ahead of them. There's not much to say. The team looked deflated, flat footed,

The Toronto Maple Leafs made a statement today. They said, "We'd like to profusely apologize for winning last Saturday's game against Ottawa. This team is committed to a certain style of play, and on Saturday, the game got away from us. We want to show

The 12th-in-the-East Leafs went to Tampa tonight to play against the 11th-ranked Tampa Bay Lightning. And in stark contrast to their rolling 1-8-1, they looked...good. It's worth noting - though many have already pointed out - that each win isn't exactly helpful to the Leafs

The Leafs set the tone early in tonight's game, allowing a goal 59 seconds into the first. Mike Komisarek went for a tour of the defensive zone - a bad game of "Where in the defensive zone is Carmen Sandiego?", with the role of Carmen being

By now you've probably read or heard about the You Can Play (YCP) Project - an effort to eliminate homophobic and sexuality-based slurs from the game we all know and love. YCP put out a great youtube video (featured above) with dozens of NHLers either in it or

It was one of those games you hate to watch. The forwards played well, the defense played well enough, with the exception of a couple rookie mistakes by Gardiner, but Gustavsson put up a decent showing for maybe a grand total of ten minutes. Though the Leafs spent most of

When I was a kid, there was a lot of corporate and fan support for the Winnipeg Jets. Haha, not really - I was a kid in the 90s, a time when Winnipeg's barn could only be filled by talented teams coming to town, and still averaged two

In the first of their back-to-back games against the Islanders, Jonas Gustavsson and the Toronto Maple Leafs shut out John Tavares and the New York Islanders. The shot total was a meager 25, but Gustavsson looked strong through a series of tough saves late in the second, and a flawless

It's restaurant week here in DC, but I could've just stayed at home and eaten some of the delicious crow that Gustavsson was serving up in Toronto. He's stopped 93 of the last 96 shots he's faced, and has two shutouts in

The Hurricanes came to the ACC, but only Cam Ward showed up to play. The Leafs outshot the 'Canes 21-7 over the first 30 minutes (38-18 over the full contest), but couldn't couldn't make the game interesting until 15:46 in the third, when MacArthur
