This should be fun.

Schneider not Brodeur in net tonight. Half the Leafs are sick with the flu. Should be fun.

Uh...Friday night hockey? OK. This should be fun.

Here's the HNIC Montage for Tonight.

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the US. Hopefully the Leafs can avoid another drubbing.

The new deal between Rogers Sportsnet and the NHL cuts out TSN and gives Rogers editorial control over HNIC. Could we see the Leafs shift to Sunday nights?

Bozak returns!

Caps. Leafs. Hockey. Go.

Grabovski returns to Toronto. Will he make the Leafs pay?
