Game Coverage

The facts: Vesa Toskala lets in softies. Jonas Gustavsson does this: Power play goals from Stalberg and Gunnarsson bail out Vesa "dogshit" Toskala and power the Leafs to another preseason win. Discuss!

The Monster was sighted briefly off the starboard bow of the HMS Redwings last night. Though none perished the sighting rattled the men to their core. Eighteen men stood back from their stations during the incident and didn't return to their posts until the all clear was sounded

The Toronto Maple Leafs survived blowing a 3-0 lead to beat the Red Wings in a shootout on the back of goals by Nikolai Kulemin, on his patented (only) move, and John (effin'!) Mitchell, with a rocket glove side. A brace by Viktor Stalberg and another goal from Nazem

OdinMercer owes me $100. Yessss!

Yaharr, they speak of a monster what lives deep in the salty depths. Some say his tentacles have drowned one thousand men and posted a playoff save percentage north of nine sixty. It was an autumn day near Farjestads in the north of Europe when the Monster attacked our ship.

The Leafs lose. And you know, it's so hard to say good bye. Which newbie are you going to miss the most? Who do you figure has the best shot to become a regular on the roster. This is your post game reaction thread. Leave your comments and

If you're not asleep already jump on the fresh ice!

That's right, the Leafs will be playing the Sabres and Justin Pogge won't be in net which changes the over under on Leafs goals against from 5.5 to 2.5. Lineups are after the jump. Commenting has been going great in the game threads, pretty

The Toronto Maple Leafs picked up a fourth consecutive win as they topped the "Pittsburgh Penguins" for the second time in a week. Once again they came back from a two goal deficit but instead of capitalising on a five-minute major they punished the Penguins for repeated icings.

This is your post-game instant reaction thread. Kadri: great deke or greatest deke?

CHEMMY EDIT: PPP'S POST SUCKS TRY THIS ON FOR SIZE:

That up there  doesn't look good at all. I hope someone attended that guy's funeral. Anyhow, this is your gamethread for tonight's preseason game against the other team from Pennsylvania. Let's hope the Leafs keep up their strong play and violently assault

Shenanigans abounded. Daniel Carcillo continues his audition for "most hated opponent not wearing a Sens or Habs jersey" and Colton Orr and Garnett Exelby gave the Flyers a taste of truculence. Even Jason Allison had a truculent moment, breaking the helmet of a Flyer. It seemed to be

FREE AT LAST! FREE AT LAST! At least, not tonight. Hilariously, on Twitter Archimedies has seen people asking if Kessel will be playing tonight. For now we'll have to live with the guys after the jump. The Leafs' top four defencemen will be in the lineup tonight

Well la-dee-da. The worst team that the Leafs iced their weakest team but it was strong enough to capitalise on a five minute major with three powerplay goals. Pittsburgh carried a 2-0 lead into the second period, but right wing Craig Adams was penalized five minutes for elbowing and the

This is the overflow!

Mario keeps Sidney warm After the Penguins won the Stanley Cup last summer I made the seemingly insane argument that a Leafs' win had been the catalyst for their success. In retrospect, that was bang on. Tonight Crosby won't even be gracious enough to welcome the Leafs

The goalies that shut out the Philadelphia Flyers last night will get a chance to continue their shutout streak against the other half of Pennsylvannia's hockey duo. Jason Allison is back in the lineup and Matt Stajan is making his first appearance of the exhibition season as the

Well, my name is known all over the world By all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls. I'm goin' down in history As the baddest 7th overall pick in history. If you didn't get excited by Nazem Kadri's first goal in a

Oh yeah, light up that cigarette because that game was goooood. How good? Let me count the ways: 1. Leafs rack up the shutout 2. Nazem Kadri gets his first goal at the kind of NHL level 3. The penalty kill was perfect 4. Ponikarovsky and Kulemin woke up in

Grabovski says: dreenk cup of most delicious red pineapple joos and see me make goals

Stempniak got the game started by pouncing on a rebound before Kadri combined with Hagman for a real beauty. Ondrus had a pretty terrible fight and Luke Schenn showed Carcillo what happens when a deity gets upset with the common man. It was so flood but it sure floored the

The Flyers are resting their best fighter out of fear of Luke Schenn. Last night was a great game thread. People could come in after the game (me) and read exactly what was happening and follow the game vicariously through everyone's Bozak and Stalberg love. So this is

Puck Drop: 7pm Game Thread Drop: 6:45pm Broadcast: LeafsTV - Canada, NHL Network - USA This is why I love the pre-season. There are games almost every night and new players to evaluate. Last night's game is still a blur, mostly because that's all that

The Toronto Maple Leafs fell to the Boston Bruins in the Coca-Cola "Zero Fans" First Game 3-2. The Leafs' goals were scored by Brian Burke's twin college signings Tyler Bozak on a gorgeous shorthanded rush and Viktor Stalberg on the powerplay. Unfortunately, the more things
