Mike & Mike Make History

Two of the unlikeliest players came up with a few big goals tonight to help the Leafs win their last road game of the preseason. Mike Brown potted two in regulation before Mike Komisarek won the game in overtime. Don't think we'll ever see anything quite

Preseason Game #2: Flyers 4 - Leafs 0

The Leafs didn't play very well tonight.  As you can see, the response on twitter was vicious: @felixpotvin Now that it's 4-0 the Leafs definitely aren't winning the Stanley Cup this preseason. @brianhuddle SCRIVENS HAS BEEN BETTER IN PRE-SEASON! OBVIOUSLY IT MEANS HE SHOULD

The Boys of Winter

The Toronto Maple Leafs hit the ice today for the first official practice of the season. With the first preseason game only two nights away, expect the competition to be fierce. Two spots on offense and maybe one on defense are up for grabs. Whoever has designs on winning one

Ten Terrible Ways to End Unemployment: #8

OK, so technically Lee Stempniak wasn't unemployed this summer. But we just couldn't keep him off of this list. Was there a more infuriating player to watch during his tenure with Toronto? The boards behind the opposing team's net actually cried tears of joy

Belarus. Fist. Talk.

Mikhail Grabovski believes in this team. "I think we went through 32 players in the time I have been playing for Toronto. I think the only people who are left from all those years are me, Kulemin and Schenn. But I think we have been progressing with every year.
