After this weekend's games, the Leafs find themselves at the quarter mark of the 2011-12 season in a condition they'd rather not be in. Over $19M sits on the IR including 2/3 of last year's most productive "2nd line", their #1

Caption Contest Challenge #1
Leafs fan @shell871 (even though she needs to abide by the 1 team rule and get rid of that horrid Penguins picture)(aka Leafer87, seriously girl. One team.), found this amusing picture from Leafs practice and thought it'd make a great pic for a caption contest. We here

Leafs 3 - Blues 2 SO: Bailed Out by Big Ben
Ben Scrivens won't be picking up any bar tabs for awhile because the rest of the Leafs owe him big time. Much like the game against Columbus last Thursday, the Leafs had no business leaving the rink with 2 points tonight. They were outshot 40-22, the worst differential
This is What Regression to the Mean Looks Like
You didn't think the Leafs would continue to shoot at 12.5% all year did you? That was the team shooting percentage about their game in Columbus last Thursday; a game in which the Maple Leafs scored 4 goals on 18 shots. Everyone knew that was a fluke

Leafs are First*. Leafs are Last.
First and Last - The 5th Line Centre
I think it is safe to say that this team will not be able to rely on keeping the puck out of their own net. With what can be generously be described as a pathetic PK and a PP that rarely establishes

How Long Has It Been Since the Leafs Had a Player Other Teams Were Afraid Of? - Mike Langlois at Vintage Leaf Memories

Movember is Moustache Month
