Grabovski Is The Man

See? I told you there was no need to fear a Southeast opponent on a Tuesday night. Also of great note? Mikhail Grabovski is now tied for 14th in goals league wide. Hells yeah! Grabovski: Illusion or Future Difference-Maker? - Vintage Leaf Memories Even as he started this season well,

All-Star Weekend Has Come and Gone. Time for Hockey.

Well Phil Kessel didn't have a great All-Star Game. 0 points, 3 shots, and a +1 rating. However, he didn't have the worst. That honor would belong to Keith Yandle who had 0 points, 3 shots, and a -3 rating; the worst on either team. I

What More is Reimer to do?

James Reimer, good. Leafs offense, bad. The Leafs are simply incapable of beating a defensively orientated system team like Tampa Bay or Boston. I don't know if it's a personnel or a coaching matter, but it's got to change if the Leafs want to

The Emergence of Tim Brent

Who the f*** is Tim Brent? This is who the f*** Tim Brent is!  Two goals on the night and yet he played less than Colby Armstrong in the 3rd period. Seriously Wilson? Leafs Let Down By Power Play in Testy Loss to Hurricanes - James Mirtle One of the

Why Do We Fall Master Bruce?

So we can learn to pick ourselves up. Well obviously the Leafs are a big fan of Batman Begins because after falling down hockey's equivalent of a well and breaking their leg against the Rangers on Wednesday, the Leafs came back with a revenge and emerged with a

Are You Ready For Boring Hockey?

The Leafs play in Manhattan tonight and have never played a single interesting game there. Ever. Get ready for a snooze fest. Other than that, not a whole heck of a lot going on, so here are your Wednesday links. Pictures of Nintendo video game characters not needed. Leafs Links

Dion's Got A Case Of The Mondays

Phaneuf No Longer Power Play Weapon - Eat. Sleep. Leafs. Phaneuf’s slumping goal totals have drawn the attention—he has only one this season—but it’s his ineffectiveness manning the point on the powerplay that has directly resulted in his spiraling offensive numbers. When he scored 20 as

Mid-Season Reports and Ways to Improve

I'm writing this before the game last night ended so yeah, who won? Maple Leaf Mid-Season Report Cards - James Mirtle Jonas Gustavsson: C More was expected from the Monster in his second season in the NHL, but it’s been an up-and-down year – with more downs lately

Brian Burke to Hire Kevin Costner to Take Care of So-Called Untouchables

Burke's Reach His Point of There Being No Untouchables - As predicted by Vintage Leaf Memories My point at the time, in part, was that if the season didn’t go as hoped, he may eventually be reduced to using the classic line about "no one being

Leafs are Canadian, But Not That Canadian

Recap of Last Night's Game - St. Louis Game Time First of all, when Lee Stempniak came back to St. Louis as a Maple Leaf last year, did the fans boo him? Of course not. I cannot fathom why Leaf fans were booing Alexander Steen and Brad Boyes

Two Games, One Night, No Losers

Tonight at 7pm the puck drops for Leafs vs Bruins. At 7:30pm, it also drops for USA vs Canada in the WJC. Picking which game to watch is a no-brainer for me. What about for you? Here be your links. Crabb Reigniting Disappointing Duo How Bozak and Kessel became

Time for the Leafs' New Year's Resolutions

After a full week in the Midwestern desolation that is Toledo, Ohio I return to bring you your morning links. But before I give you what you came for, it's time to play a game. 2010 hasn't been the best year for the Toronto Maple Leafs

The Stanley Cup of Waffles

Waffles. Don't ask me why but they've became an integral part of the 2010-11 Toronto Maple Leafs season. Years of fan frustration with the team's failures has manifested itself into these delectable breakfast treats flung with fury unto the ice surface. After this latest

I Was Saying Booo-urke

Wilson Shrugs Off the Boos - James Mirtle at the Globe and Mail In his 17th season coaching in the NHL, Ron Wilson has pretty much seen it all. And the fact Leafs fans were again calling for him to be canned during last night's 6-3 loss to

Paging Dr. Wilson to the Leafs Dressing Room

Leafs in need of a transplant - Leafs Nation Almost thirty years ago, the Chicago Black Hawks (two words in those days) were ready to face-off against the about-to-explode Edmonton Oilers in the Campbell Conference Championship Series. The Hawks finished the season with 104 points. The Oilers had 106. Yappy

Leafs - 0, Canucks - 2. Three the Hard Way.

Let's play a game called the compliment sandwich. First you say something good about the team. Then something bad, and lastly something good. Luke Schenn is pretty. Beauchemin made a terrible play on the 2nd goal. I like Bozak as a 3rd line center for the foreseeable future.

Two Steps Forward and Two Steps Back

Well Leafs continued their rollercoaster run of late; 2 good games, followed by an absolute stinker or two. Our "2nd" line continues to put points up on the board like it's going out of style and boy do I ever thank them for that. Otherwise we&

WCW Week Game One Over - Leafs Win Cruiserweight Title

So...hell yeah! Leafs come out flying and take down the Oilers 4-1 to even the season series. The big boys came to play in Edmonton with Kessel, Versteeg, Grabovski, and Phaneuf getting goals. If someone asked you who you'd like to score in a 4-1 win for

Leafs vs Oilers - Old Goalie Showdown

Tonight is game 1 of the West Coast Waffle week and it will be a lesson in hockey dichotomy. Up front, both teams are extremely young. Hall, Paajarvi, Eberle, Omark, Gagner, Cogliano for the Oilers; Kessel, Kadri, Kulemin, Bozak, Versteeg for the Leafs. None with more than 3 full seasons

Saturday Was the Best Day

Let's see, what happened to me on Saturday. I slept in. Played some XBOX. Gorged myself on Shabu Shabu bacon pork. Find out the Leafs beat the Habs. And watched one of the greatest concerts in MSG history. That's right boys and girls, RAMMSTEIN! So yeah,

So Who Carries the Blame for the Team's Struggles?

Yesterday on Puck Daddy Radio, special guest Jeff Marek was talking to Pizzo and Wyshynski about the Leafs' struggles and gave a very interesting take on the situation. He said that at even strength, it's the GM's team. He chose those players based on the

Have The Leafs Rediscovered Their Much Needed Agitator?

Say what you will about intangibles, but the past two games since Armstrong's return have shown some true grit and determination from the Leafs; led by Colby Armstrong. Since Tucker and Domi left, the Leafs have been without a skilled shit disturber that the people love dearly. But
