Game Coverage

Tonight it is the Leafs and Flyers as our season sadly is nearing the end. It might be for the better. How about some fun? A bit of a dance party before the puck drop? SPG picks are here. Keep it cute or put it on mute.

Puck Drop: 7PM Sportsnet Phil Kessel may have injured his groin in Saturday night's professional insomnia curing seminar against the Boston Bruins. He attempted to get an MRI but couldn't due to the holidays and will be a game time decision. First off, how can a

Boston didn't show up until the second period tonight and though they left with two points I don't think squeaking by the Leafs on goals on two weird bounces should inspire confidence heading into the postseason. Good on them for playing a defensive style to make

What an odd setting for the video. A Boston Bruins fan who is quite disillusioned with his team. It's an odd YouTube video. He doesn't hate Matt Cooke, he doesn't think losing Savard is that big of a deal because the team is not

The Toronto Maple Leafs start the first of four games against the playoff bottom feeders in the Eastern Conference and still have a great chance to dictate who qualifies and where they will end up. It is the last Saturday night home game of the season and will wrap up

I haven't watched that movie in a while but it's an underrated story of effort triumphing over pure skill. The gist is, that just like tonight, it only takes one time for Danny O'Shea or any underdog to beat Kevin O'Shea. Tonight,

I feel old remembering this song but yeah, for the fifth year in a row this describes the Leafs relationship with the playoffs. This sucks but maybe not forever. So at least we have that going for us.

This is a quick one because Chemmy's busy at work and now I am too. Tack on anything about the game in the comments and this'll tide you over until the GDT. Brayden Irwin will be making his NHL debut and the word from Ron Wilson

"It’s a sixty minute game, generally you’re supposed to give sixty minutes of effort and that wasn’t necessarily the case tonight. Isn’t it a sixty minute game? So we get twenty minutes of effort or twenty-five, it should be sixty." - Ron Wilson via

Jonas Gustavsson has matched the longest winning streak for a goalie since Crazy Eddie Belfour won seven in a row before the lockout. There are other records but I won't mention them. His improved play has been a huge part in the Leafs' late surge for 28th.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have played five home games on a Tuesday night against a Southeast division opponent and are 1-3-1. Tuesday night games against Atlanta, Tampa, Florida and Carolina are usually soul crushing affairs where it looks like no one told the Leafs they had a game to play

The Toronto Maple Leafs' incredible run of seven straight wins in overtime or shootouts was snapped as the Penguins scored twice in the shootout to win 5-4. Canadian Hero Sidney Crosby scored two goals to take his tally to 47 while adding the shootout winner. Marc-Andre Fleury and Jean-Sebastien

Chemmy told me to use the original as my intro music on MLHS' short-lived podcast mostly because it mentions cocaine in the first verse and I'm Colombian. Get it? Anyway, the official video can't be embedded so here's a remix which is just

Don't look now but the Toronto Maple Leafs are the hottest team in the Eastern Conference. They are 8-2-0 in their last 10 and are top of the form table. The host Pittsburgh Penguins have been a thoroughly mediocre 4-3-3 over the same time span but they are

Well, well, well. Join us for the comeback indeed. 39 seconds was all that Mikhail Grabovski and Nikolai Kulemin, my Poni and Antro replacements (just kidding boys, you'll never be replaced!), needed to once again pair in ending overtime. Grabovski won the face-off back to Tomas Kaberle who

This made me laugh. Enjoy David Letterman. SPG Picks here.

The Toronto Maple Leafs welcome the New York Rangers to the Air Canada Centre tonight. Both teams are out of the playoffs right now but this game still has a lot of importance. The Leafs play Pittsburgh tomorrow so if a split is good enough they'd be well

At least I think it's the Monster and Kessel show. Big ups to my boy Mickey Grabs and congrats to Jonas Gustavsson on his sixth straight win after stopping 19 of 20 shots (0.950). PPP: The Leafs coughed up the first goal after a stupid bench minor

I could write things about a hockey game but mehhh. I'm more interested and intrigued at Nintendo's announcement that there will be a 3D DS. BUT WAIT, IT WON'T REQUIRE GLASSES. I can't even fathom how this will work. I just know

The Toronto Maple Leafs are lucky that this game is on the road. If it were at the Air Canada Centre then having not one but two major former Maple Leafs would probably cause the universe to implode. Pavel Kubina, like Jeff Finger, suffered from receiving a large contract and
