Game Coverage

7 hours to freedom. It was a valiant effort but it was far too little far too late. 41 and counting. SPG guesses in the comments and guesses at whether Mats or Antro will aggravate injuries.

That's all she wrote folks. Real pressure returns and they turn in a terrible performance. Operation Cock Tease is over. Time to play spoilers I guess. I'll write more tomorrow when I am slightly less despondent. Stupid Leafs. Morning Update You know what? The Leafs are

Tonight is the seventh matchup of the year between the Leafs and Bruins. Unfortunately for the Leafs they don't have the same kind of dominance that the Habs have had over the beantowners or they'd be ensconced in a playoff spot. Luckily for the Leafs, they&

The plausible predictions went pretty well. A Thrashers' loss, a Flyers' win over the Rangers, and a Bruins' OT point were the only blemishes. The Leafs did their part with a huge win over the senators Saturday night. The open thread was a cauldron of emotions and

It's nice to know that the Leafs have started to win in front of their dedicated fans. While they have continued to alternate between competent and brutal performances at home when the Leafs take the road in front of their travelling band of support the Leafs have been

This is late so I imagine most people will miss it. If you make it in time put your SPG guesses in the comments. Sabres have won the last three meetings and the game is at the Alphabet Arena. Have mercy.

You're probably wondering what the hell is at the top of the post. Well, through the good graces of Microsoft, I was able to make a mobile post using my cell phone. Yes, that eloquent and articulate voice to hear dripping with zip and verve is my own.

Alex Steen, your time has come to show us what you can do with top billing. The King of Kings is out of the game tonight so the 3rd year NHLer, the third liner per The Omen, will be stepping into the massive skates of his countryman on the first

Wow. In the words of John Tortorella, that was a shit-kicking. It sure helped that the Leafs picked up 3 goals via the extremely lucky break play. What would have helped more, in the larger context, would have been to see those breaks come during some of the overtime

Tonight's game features everyone's favourite opponent: the Boston Bruins. Aside from being the one team in Boston that has no chance of winning a championship the Bruins are also a constant thorn in the Leafs' side. Last year they played each other three times from

Not only did the Leafs score in the last minute to tie the game when their net was empty but they also won in the shootout. Can someone please tell these idiots to stop playing so well? Five wins in their last six games have catapaulted them out of the

Day 1 of the post Frozen Five Era begins the inevitably heartbreaking, ultimately fruitless, and great draft pick ruining playoff run begins tonight. To refresh everyone's memory, after two tight wins against the Panthers this season and while coming off of a big win at home over the

GO LEAFS GO! So, the Leafs once again win a game that at the start of the year should have been expected. Of course, last night it certainly wasn't wanted but that's the way the cookie crumbles. I actually fell asleep after the first and woke

The Leafs host Columbus as the parade of Central Division foes continues. The Leafs have fallen to St. Louis and Chicago and managed to defeat Nashville and Detroit. Tonight's game will give them a chance to end their battles against the division with a winning record. The Blue

The other day George Cross in the local red top had a quote from an unnamed GM that "Tucker's done. I wouldn't trade my last draft pick for him." If Tucker is done then I hope he is as done for the next three

Great news from last night! Kings Win! So that means that with an LA win and a Toronto loss tonight the Leafs could find themselves with a 48.2% chance of landing the top pick in the draft. Even better, when they trade for Edmonton's pick from Anaheim

Just a quick note but good call by LeafFanInVan for calling the shutout. As soon as Stralman fell I hoped that the game wouldn't be decided on that play and of course it was partially. The other decisive play was Stajan's pass with 30 seconds left.

After the jump I have the updated Trade Deadline Schedule which now includes Tampa Bay, by virtue of their win over Montreal and because they could conceivably catch the SE division leading Canes, and Washington. Basically, the entire Southeast Division is in there because they could all just as easily

What a week for fans of the Leafs. We've had the Slide for Stamkos going for a long while now and through most of it's existence the Leafs have been ensconced in 28th place. This week not only saw the Leafs beat bitter rivals ottawa and

Tonight's game was obviously frustrating to say the least. On December 15th I made the trek to the Bell Centre and saw the Leafs lay an egg that kicked off the run that led to JFJ's firing. It was actually a great night other than the

This was always going to be a tough game despite most Leafs fans acceptance of the Slide since it came against a historic rival. It just got worse because tonight the Habs could move into first place in the Eastern Conference. HF29 correctly labels it a 'trap game'

Tonight's game: What must be done to this team: What we are aiming for:

Here's a look at the Leafs' injury situation: Injuries have also been a problem for Toronto, which is without forwards Alex Steen (shoulder), Alexei Ponikarovsky (shoulder), Chad Kilger (personal), Mark Bell (orbital bone), John Pohl (ankle) and Nik Antropov (suspension) and defenseman Bryan McCabe(hand). Of course,

Even though we have agreed that the Leafs are supposed to lose their remaining games it was certainly nice of them to treat us to a win over the senators. If they had done that more often over the past two seasons they might have made the playoffs but that&

So most Leafs fans have resigned themselves to watching the Leafs bungle their way to a top 5 draft pick but even still I am sure that the highway robbery of last night rubbed them the wrong way. Greener has a round up of the bad calls but he misses
