Game Coverage

Well, apparently Ghandi, while able to drive the British out of India, cannot inspire a group of professional hockey players to work hard enough to break the most passive of passive traps. As much as I hate watching the Leafs play the Bruins (they are the only team on my

Ugh. Another Leafs-Bruins matchup. While Damien Cox might love the idea of playing everyone in your division 54 times I like to spice things up once in a while with at least one game against every other team in the NHL. I guess that makes me dimwitted. Considering the

Don't look now but the Maple Leafs' juggernaut rolls into the Big Apple tonight on the back of some consistently solid and often spectacular goaltending and three great pre-game harangues. After taking the reins myself to get the win streak started I have farmed out the

Toskala better be careful playing so well. The Leafs are going to expect him to do it every night and they'll be back to the Pat Quinn run and gun, defence optional days in no time. Actually, it only took two huge saves last night for the Leafs

Breaking News! This excerpt from an article outlining why the Leafs are playing well is hilarious. LESS WOZ: Kubina isn't returning to watch from the bench. He was averaging more than 24 minutes before getting hurt and it likely won't take him long to get into

Last season the Leafs were plagued by a dearth of timely saves. Time and time again a weak goal would come at the worst time possible. Whether the Leafs were pressing for the equalizer, had just pulled even, or were pressing. In the Leafs' last two games Vesa Toskala

The Leafs' host the Penguins tonight. I went to the open practice and if that was any indication of how they practice it's no wonder the defence can become so shambolic at the drop of a hat. It was interesting to see about 8,000 people at

Break up the Leafs because it's just not fair to the rest of the league. They should have left this juggernaut sleeping but they poked the beast one too many times. After reading a barnburner of a pre-game speech the Leafs showed that they are not, at

The Leafs' Jekyll and Hyde season continued Tuesday night as they once again snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Actually, considering that the Leafs do not really feature a refined Dr. Jekyll-like game nor do they ever exhibit the Mr. Hyde-like tendency to violence a more

What was the extent of my developing shock as the game continued? After spending a day trying to keep 8 kids from either killing themselves or each other I completely forgot that they were all in bed a scant 50 feet away as I celebrated Darcy Tucker's powerplay

Hooray! The Leafs get to play host to the regular season juggernaut that is the ottawa senators. What a great way to end a losing streak. Of course the team will come out flying and give 110% because why would they do otherwise? Here are some predictions for the game:

Thanks to my brilliant foresight I was at a relative's house for dinner last night. By the team the wonderful meal had ended and I made it back to my apartment the Leafs had pulled back within one and were headed to the third period. Unfortunately, getting home

Just got back from the game and needless to say I am not and never will be a card carrying member of the Bryan 'Handlebars' McCabe fan club. Of all the players to allow to score the game winning goal it makes me sick to think that Mike

Other commitments prevented me from watching this game but it was probably for the best as the stress would have probably killed me. I hate Sean Avery and judging from the description of his antics he was on top of his game. Belak especially was raring to go: "The

The Leafs host the New York Rangers tonight in the Hall of Fame game. The 3-0 win last night should provide some momentum for the Leafs but they are playing at home where there is apparently a memory wipe machine that erases all notions of defence from the players&

Thanks to D.O from Die By The Blade for the graphic and for taking part in today's 5 Questions feature. This will be the Leafs' first visit to HSBC since the now infamous Own Goal by Bryan McCabe. It will actually mark the return of McCabe

[Note: I didn't put up a poll for player of the game but if someone can make a case for a player actually deserving it then put it in the comments. Otherwise, "No One Worthy" is going to jump into a tie for the lead] Last

If the guest of today's 5 Questions didn't tip you off before the Leafs will be visiting the Sc'ank in Kanata to take on hockey's version of the Patriots minus the titles, the large fan base, the brilliant coach, the rehabilitated superstar,

Last year the Leafs missed the playoffs by 1 point. While you could point to any number of terrible games as the one that cost the team a playoff spot three came against the Leafs' arch rivals. The irony of that quote below is that in all three of

The best laid plans of mice and men eh? Despite taking the game to the Devils for the majority of the game the Leafs managed to let their long suppressed nature emerge at the most inopportune time (lazy on a powerplay? Those points get you paid!) and let the game

As much as senators fans would want to lay claim to ending the Leafs' playoff hopes it is the Capitals' fanbase that has the stronger claim. Over the past two seasons the Leafs have thrown away 10 points (3-5-0) against a team that boils down to

Who is this team is blue and white that plays defence and has solid goaltending? I feel lost when I am watching games and I don't curse at least one weak goal and one defenceman's parentage. But I could definitely get used to it. Once again

Move over Patrick Kane, Jiri Tlusty is ready for his closeup. The Leafs faithful finally got a look at the only teenager in the team's system last night as he made his debut against the Penguins. And what a debut! His first goal may have come on a

The Leafs travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Penguins. The small news is that Anton Stralman will be in the lineup in place of Bryan McCabe who was nursing an injury that has now become too painful. Where have we heard this story before? Jiri Tlusty will be making

Why would opposition fans hate the Leafs? They are the perfect tonic for any struggling team since they inevitably lose games against supposedly inferior opponents as was the case last night. Just to make things fun for Leafs fans they also found a new way to lose the game. Just
