Because he's one of my favorite people in the world, I'm showcasing a two-pack of posts over at mf37's Bitter Leaf Fan Page; a name far too apt at the moment. Sympathy for the Devil Sportsnet’s Michael Grange filed a piece on the

Well just about dick all has happened today. Let's look at the highlights thus far shall we: * Andrei Kostitsyn joins his brother on the Predators becoming the 2nd biggest pair of tits in Nashville behind Dolly Parton's. * Tom Gilbert went to Minny with Nick Schultz going

It's trade deadline day and everyone is amped up to see who's getting moved, who's staying, to what team they're going, and what's coming back the other way. It's an exciting day to say the least. But let

Blah, blah, blah Jeff Carter blah. I GOTS LINKS. Leafs Links Our TML Deadline Wishlist There went BCP's Plan A. Five Maple Leafs Who Won't Move at the Deadline I don't know about that last one. Ring Around the Goalie TML Fan Fury looks

Per the Globe's Kevin Paul Dupont on Twitter Enuf's 'nuf in Toronto: Leafs going hard after a 'tender. INteresting to see if that impacts CBJ's attempt to deal Nash. If you could you would get rid of me, what you gonna do

Courtesy of @HannieWals so give her a follow. Leafs links after the jump. Leafs Links Breaking Down A Break Down A break down of the only goal against last night that requires more analysis than "fucking Gustavsson". Trading in a Hard Cap World BCP looks into just that.

It's a holiday in both the States (Dios de los Presidentes) and Ontario (Dios de la familia) (those heathens in Quebec put it off until Friday), so don't expect a lot of anything today. Instead, give Mike Langlois' piece at Vintage Leaf Memories a read.

Friend of the blog Justin Bourne put up a post on The Score's Backhand Shelf that I disagree with. Let me tell you why. The post titled "The Sedins and the Numbers Agree: Dead Puck Era Hockey is Creeping Back into the NHL", references an article

After last night, the Leafs now find themselves on their worst losing streak of the season and going into the tail end of a back-to-back against a rested, and quick Oilers squad. Those four straight losses may soon become five. Things aren't so hot in Leafs Nation at

Today is Valentines Day, and if the rest of the league loves the Leafs as much as we all do, then they'll make sure the other games tonight so according to plan. Ottawa Senators (-1.2) at Tampa Bay Lightning (+1.4) Failing to pick up a W

With news that Carl Gunnarsson tweaked his knee and will require an MRI after a collision with strip club connoisseur Jay Rosehill at today's practice, instantly we began to think who might get called up to replace him watch games from the press box. I'm of

Nazem Kadri Interview - Leafsnation Obviously enough, you're still a young player. What was your objective going into this season? Was it more of a I-need-to-be-on-the-Leafs sort of mentality or you just hoped to get as many games in the NHL as you could? Ever since I was

Let's get right to it shall we? Florida Panthers (-0.3) at New Jersey Devils (+0.4) This one's underway and currently 1-1 in the 2nd. With the South East shaping up to be a total cluster cuss, we want whoever finishes in 2nd there to

Last night wasn't just bad for the Leafs, it was apocalypticly bad. Every single matchup went counter to what would have best benefited the Leafs most, with only the Blues winning in overtime being the one slightly good thing by taking a point away from Jersey. What a

Leafs Still Want Reimer to Be the Guy - Mike Langlois from Vintage Leaf Memories In any event, here we are now. Reimer is the number-one goalie. (Funny, eh? A couple of weeks ago so many people were talking as though Reimer had lost the net, and Monster had won

Before Tuesday the Leafs' chance for a Playoff berth was around 90%, it could get back there after tonight with a win against Philly and some help from around the league. Winnipeg Jets (0.0) at Washington Capitals (+0.2) Atlanta is but 6 points back of the Leafs

What is Mikhail Grabovski Worth? - James Mirtle at the Globe and Mail After a slow start this year, the 28-year-old Belarussian has again been the best Leaf on the ice over the last 15 games, with 12 points in his last six and 20 during Toronto’s 10-4-1 run

After the dust settles tonight, the Leafs could find themselves anywhere from 5th to 8th in the East. Needless to say, it's a very big night for the Buds so let's get right to it. New Jersey Devils (-0.3) at New York Rangers (+0.2)

Now that the Superbowl is past us, we can all stop pretending to like the 4 hour light beer commercial called football and focus 100% on hockey. Speaking of which, there's a game tonight. Cool beans. Here are some links to tide you over until then. Leafs Links

Aside from the Islanders beating the Senators 2-1 in overtime rather than in regulation, last night's outcomes were exactly what the Leafs wanted thanks to the Panthers downing the Jets also by a score of 2-1. Now there are several impact games this evening so let's

Hockey fandom, especially when doing so for the sole purpose of hoping your team makes the playoffs, can be very tricky business. On Wednesday, we wanted Washington to beat Florida, they did not, and thus our allegiances have changed. But remember, the one team for which you should have unwavering

Some easy linkage on a Friday morning Kadri vs. Turris BoO has a total inferiority complex. Let's go ahead and compare a 2009 7th overall pick to a 2007 3rd overall pick. Surely they must both be at the same stage developmentwise, and surely all credit for Turris&

Well last night didn't go as well as hoped as it continued to draw out the battle for 3rd/9th place between Washington and Florida with the Panthers getting the 4-2 win. Hopefully tonight is a little kinder to the Buds. Montreal Canadiens at New Jersey Devils I

Well last night didn't go according to plan, but thanks to some timely losses by other teams in the hunt, our playoff chances only dropped by 0.2% down to a respectable 70.9%. Not too shabby, though 3-point games between NYR-NJD and PHI-WPG currently didn't

Is Mikhail Grabovski Playing Like a Top-10 Center in the League? - Mike Langlois from Vintage Leaf Memories I’m trying to remember exactly when, but at some point in this space last season I asked if Grabovski had become a top-10 NHL center. As I recall, some said yes
