Game Coverage

Well, aren't we all getting friendly and cozy. Apparently the NHL doesn't like to keep it fresh because once again it is the Leafs and the Sabres. Blah blah blah Ryan Miller versus Jonas Gustavsson. This is all a bit deja vu. What? I said, this

As some of you might know, I made the trek down to the Queen City as part of a friend's birthday celebration to catch The Heroes take on the Buffalo Sabres. I tried my best to talk myself into believing that the Leafs had a chance to win

Puck Drop: 7PM ET, Sportsnet / Versus Does anyone need an in depth game preview for a game against an in division foe we played three days ago? Gustavsson starts against Miller (ugh) tonight and we're long overdue for a win against the Slugs after getting Toskala-ed on Friday.

The boys bled for the team and emerged triumphant over the Boston Bruins. Jonas Gustavsson earns his first NHL shutout. Discuss.

You know, I'm getting a bit bored with writing about the Bruins and the Leafs. It feels like that's who they only play anymore. Hey did you know Phil Kessel used to be a Bruin? And there is like, bad blood or something? Whatever. This is

Puck Drop: 7PM ET CBC, NHLN-US I feel like we've covered this to death so today's preview is going to be really short. Goaltending matchups should be Jonas Gustavsson (16/17 = .941 last night) vs. Tuukka Rask (1.97 GAA .932 SV% this season, thanks JFJ)

Tonight the Maple Leafs will get a whole lot sexier. It's the return of Luke Schenn. And Viktor Stalberg. Out of control hottness. That ice is going to melt. Please remember to always use protection. Ensure your garments are flame resistant for your safety. These GQMFs Leafs are

Thaaaat's what she said. Now that that is out of the way, I will be hitting the road within an hour for an epic sports and gambling weekend that will likely see me cripplingly ill for the second Christmas in a row. The good news is two-fold of

On November 9th, 2007 Andrew Raycroft shut out the Buffalo Sabres. Since then the Leafs are 2-8-1 against Buffalo with their last win coming more than a calendar year ago on December 12th at the HSBC Center. To say Buffalo has our number is a huge understatement. The Leafs are

Chemmy Thought of the Night: The Leafs traded a 1st, 2nd and 4th for Toskala on June 22 2007. On Nov 17 2007 Bryzgalov was claimed off waivers by Phoenix. Since 2007 Toskala's save percentage has never been above .904, Bryzgalov's has never been below .906.

Vesa Toskala's back. Kessel, Poni and Mayers light the lamp but it's not enough. The Leafs play in Buffalo on Friday, Buffalo was just shut out by Brian Elliott which means the Sabres will be bloodthirsty. Sigh.

Yeah, so there have been two terrible calls by the referees leading to two goals and arguably one that they made a complete assumption on. Not a single angle showed that the puck was in so unless the ref was lying on the ice he guessed at it. Of course,

That might have looked very familiar to those that have watched the Leafs since the lockout but it's called a 'bo-dy-check'. Not a Czech like Tomas Kaberle (or anything Kaberle does) but a check. Like something you hate to see at the end of a meal

Puck Drop: 7:30PM ET TSN Our provincial rivals the Hamilton Coyotes are here in town for another big rivalry match. Oh. Well, nevermind. The Coyotes are from the Western Conference which means that they're probably better than the Leafs and none of us have seen them play

For most of Leafs Nation, hating the Senators is an interest and activity. In fact, some of you probably have it listed on your Facebook somewhere between "dipping fries in my frosty" and "pwning n00bz in NHL 10." The world cannot handle the venom for the

Apologies for the profanity in the title I didn't want it to be terribly vague; "loser team from shit hole city comes to glorious capital of everything that's good in this world". The Ottawa S*nators are in town tonight meaning their usual collection

This game came down to goaltending. Toskala outshined Michael Neuvirth and the Leafs came back from a 2-0 hole to lay a beating on Washington. Kessel had a goal and two assists, Stajan had two goals and an assist, Lee Stempniak scored a back breaker shortie and Niklas Hagman had

Kessel with a goal and two assists as the Leafs claw their way back to tie this game. Big third period here, go Leafs go.
