Boyce... You'll be missed.
Darrel Boyce claimed off waivers by the Blue Jackets.
Off the bat I want to say I can’t play the hate card at Burke here. He’s making some room for trade deadline and so it remains to be seen what deals get made.
But as I said in my last posting here, I’m a huge fan of Boyce. He was one of the hardest workers on the Leafs and a key reason why our fourth line was as agressive...
F*&KKKKKK NOOOOOOO BOYCE PLACED ON WAIVERS :'(
Truth.
I love the man and I think no one works harder than he does. Can’t say I’m surprised though.

Leafs fans, it's not THAT bad... yet.
Following a disheartening loss to San Jose on home ice things are looking pretty bleak for those who love the Maple Leafs. But I’m here to tell you things are not that bad yet.
Did the leafs look shoddy the first two periods of the San Jose game? Hells yes they did. Did they look spectacular for the final 20? Yes, yes they did.
a 2-1 loss is not so bad. Of course when it follows the 6 or 7...
Why it's all Ron Wilson's fault...
REALLY?!?!
You’re going to play Keith Aulie vs. the Sedin Twins??
Aulie isn’t even our best defender on the Marlies farm team and because he played with Dion before you put him out there against Henrik and Daniel?
Ron Wilson is an idiot.
Where the hell is Korbinian Hulzer? That kid has skills, or how about mike EFFING Komeserek? Heathy scratch??? You gotta be kidding me.

Sometimes I hate the officials.
i usually try pretty hard to give the refs a break. No one has a harder job and no one catches more flack than the refs. I love Ron McLean and when he talks about being a referee and how much shit he took, i sympathize.
But f**K it sometimes if i can’t help but get furious with the stripes!
The second goal for the Ottawa Sens was total BS in my opinion. Spezza walks into Reimer and Reimer...

Toronto Trade!
blueandwhiteforever:

He has appeared in 31 games with the Syracuse Crunch (AHL) this season scoring 5 goals and 2 assists. He has been assigned to the Toronto Marlies (AHL).

Rumors & News: The Eric Staal Saga. →
Chemmy of Pension Plan Puppets: XM radio personality, Bill Waters (formerly on AM 640 in Toronto), claimed yesterday that the Maple Leafs and Hurricanes had a trade in place involving Eric Staal, but the deal is on hold because of Brian Burke’s Christmas roster freeze (10 days before the NHL…
While I doubt this rumour to be true, who would like to see the struggling Staal as a Leaf?

iftheshoefitz:
So last year while discussing Sidney Crosby’s concussion and extended absence from the NHL, a former teammate of mine (@Gollaher9) came up with an off-the-wall explanation for why Sid the Kid was out of the NHL. Essentially, he decided that there was an underground super league for hockey…

Leafs manage to solve stellar effort by Cam Ward
It was a close one, and it took overtime, but the Toronto Maple Leafs put another one in the Win column at home last night.
it was a night for Tim Connolly who had both goals for the Leafs as they skated away with a 2-1 Win in Overtime.
it was the first time the Leafs had ever gone 0-0 into the third period, and that was all thanks to the remarkable play of Cam Ward.
Through out the game the...
Leafs Director of Player Personnel Rick Dudley was...
This report is conspicuous after the mention by Sportsnet’s Jeff Marek earlier in the week of rumors of a Brassard for Nazem Kadri deal popping up in recent days. Brian Burke’s holiday trade freeze takes effect tonight after the Leafs game in Washington, so it is unlikely that a deal involving Toronto will happen in the next 10 hours, but Brassard is clearly in need of a change of scenery and...

OMG!!! REIMER BACK TO FACE BRUINS!!!
If there was one thing the Leafs could have used to give them a boost before their game tonight in Boston, the news that James Remier was back between the pipes.
Don’t look now, but Reimer will be starting tonight in Boston.
There’s not much else to say about the game. Boston has now beaten the Leafs in all 3 previous meeting this season. The last game, Wednesday in Toronto was by...
Reimer is cleared for action!

Leafs close out road trip vs Anaheim
The Toronto Maple Leafs look to win their 3rd in a row tonight against a struggling Ducks team. A win would also give them 3 of 4 on the road trip that started with a loss in Carolina.
The Leafs were lucky to skate away with 2 points in Dallas, find themselves hemmed in their own zone for minutes at a time but Lupul and Gustavsson stole the game in the shootout.
Gustavsson has now won his last...

Im going to say this off the bat: we won that off the skin of our teeth. In many ways, we shouldn’t have won. We got lucky. Really lucky.

Your shit stinks.
Get over the fact that your entire blogging staff hates Pittsburgh and its teams. And actually blog about shit people might care about.
Fuck you.

7-1 Victories becoming the norm for Toronto Maple...
Not unlike Sid the Kid, Clarke MacArthur tallied early on in his first game back in the Toronto Maple Leafs line up.
On his first shift, under a minute into the game, MacArthur got a piece of a Jake Gardiner shot from the point and redirected into the back of the Tampa Bay net.
Before the night was over, Joe Colbourne got his first, Bozak got a pair and both Gardiner and Matt Frattin had two...

Toronto Continues Road Trip in Tampa Bay
The Toronto Maple Leafs are playing their 3rd game in 4 nights tonight. And after a close but disappointing loss in Carolina the Leafs will look to rebound against Tampa Bay.
The Leafs got a couple of doses of good news today, Clarke MacArthur will be in the line up tonight on a line with Kulemin and Connolly.
The Tampa Bay Lightning have been 5-5-0 in their last 10 and are coming off a 3-2 loss...

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been remarkable this year, Sunday’s 3-2 loss to Carolina about 17 hours after the team wrapped a game vs. Washington not withstanding.
Currently, they’re tied with Buffalo for first in the Northeast, which approximately no one saw coming heading into the season, and that’s remarkable enough in itself. Very few people, if any, likely had the Phil Kessel leading the...

Washington, Leafs hoping to turn tide.
Tonight at the ACC with feature two teams, both looking to turn slumps around.
Washington has gone 3-6-1 in their last 10, a far fry from the way they started the season while Toronto has lost 5 of the last 6, a drought that has cost them the Lead in the North East Division.
The Leafs will face a tough task of playing without a number of key players, Komisarek is out for 2 months with a broken...

Banged up Leafs face rising Predators
The only meeting between the two teams this season will happen in Nashville where the Preds are slowly making a run towards Chicago atop the Central Division.
Nashville is coming of a big win vs the Washington Capitals where Goaltender Pekka Rinne showed why he is earning the big bucks. There is no doubt about goaltending in the Predators camp.
The same thing can’t be said for the Toronto...
