All of us have forgotten to make a gamethread. Here's one for period #1. Enjoy this song:

7PM ET: CBC Pascal Leclaire stopped 34 of 36 in a 2-1 loss to Buffalo last night in their home opener. I'm not sure if that bodes well for the Leafs in that he might be tired or if it's a bad sign that he posted

Mike Komisarek played 12:08 last night broken down as such: Period EV PP PK TOT 1 4:40 4:40 2 2:48 2:04 4:45 3 2:36 2:36 Total 10:04 0:00 2:04 12:08 In his 10 even strength minutes Komisarek managed

The Leafs opened the game with a beautiful tip by Tim Brent before Kessel buried a goal on a breakaway faking to Price's left and sliding the puck into the net on the right. Montreal scored soon after; as Carl Gunnarsson failed to clear the puck and Mike

7PM ET: CBC Tonight there will be festivities at Dundas and a game in Helsinki. Tonight the puck drops on the Toronto Maple Leafs' 93rd season at the Air Canada Centre. Carey Price will start for our oldest rival but Andrei Markov and Roman Hamrlik remain out of the

[iTunes] [Direct Link] [Podcast RSS Feed] Game one is tonight on Hockey Night in Canada and I'm at work wearing my Kessel tshirt under my work clothes. This is exciting and a little bit sexy. Our sound guy is wearing Habs boxers on Twitter today but no worry

Nazem Kadri is a Leafs prospect which means that unlike other young NHL players he has to spend his development time underneath the microscope in Toronto. Kadri had a disappointing preseason save for a superhuman game against Ottawa's opening night roster but by all accounts Kadri understood that

The Leafs have cut more players. Danny Richmond announced on Twitter this morning he was on waivers and AM640 is saying the Leafs have assigned Christian Hanson, Nazem Kadri, Luca Caputi and Matt Lashoff to the Marlies. Using Mirtle's cut tracker (which will probably be updated soon) the

7:30PM ET: Leafs-TV, NHL-N (US) This is the third time the Leafs have played the Senators this preseason. The two teams have each won a game but the first two contests heavily featured rookies for both teams. Tonight's Leafs lineup sees most of Toronto's starters

I'm glad we have writers like George Popalis at the Toronto Sun to tell us what we think. Without someone like him telling us what our opinion is and why we're dumb some of us might consider ourselves free thinking individuals with rational takes on our

Tomas Kaberle makes a cross ice pass like you wouldn't believe

7PM ET: Leafs TV, NHL Network In the reverse of Saturday night's game the Leafs will be icing most of their opening night roster while the Sabres are bringing along their prospects. Personally I'm impressed the Leafs kids hung on and only lost 3-1 to a

7PM ET: Leafs TV There's basically no media coverage for these games; last night's 3-2 SO stunner doesn't have the rosters or shots on goal available from NHL.com for example. Luckily our Toronto beat reporters are dishing out the lines. The biggest news

Video review of how the Toronto Maple Leafs managed to score a goal.

7PM ET: Leafs TV, NHL-N (US) So far the Leafs have punched faces all game every game. Tonight they'll be playing a team that also likes to punch faces as opposed to one that prefers to turtle or hide in the dressing room for an entire period (sup

Phil Kessel scores! But how did he do it?

7PM ET: TSN-HD, MapleLeafs.com 10PM ET: NHLN-HD (US) Last night in the "free tickets because of soda" game the Leafs aptly exemplified the point that you have to pay for goals. Let's put that behind us and move onwards. It's a whole new

7:00PM ET SNET-O, Mapleleafs.com (Ontario) 10:00PM ET NHL Network HD (US) Tonight kicks off the preseason when our hated provincial rivals do us the honor of getting worked in front of everyone who won free tickets from a popular soda company who is welcome to sponsor us

Nazem Kadri is our best prospect. He's a feisty playmaker capable of slick moves with the puck and willing to get under the opposition's skin. He plays on the edge and his junior career suggests he can score (with 93 points in 56 games his NHL

Update: While the sentiment we expressed for Pat Burns is genuine we're happy to be wrong: he's still alive and has spoken with Bob McKenzie of TSN. We apologize for jumping the gun on this one and hope the Montreal Gazette, CTV Ottawa, and others who

Once again the other overlord overlooked his obligations for writing an FTB leaving it to one of his more quick thinking blogmates. This is your FTB and I use the FTB to read all my Leafs news meaning throw your link in the comments and someone will edit it in

Hello faithful readers of our slandering and libelous anonymous internet haven for thought crime: today we pull off our masks and expose our real names. In this morning's Globe and Mail (this was printed in a newspaper right? if not it's dangerously close to making Bruce

I'm bored so we're bringing back the Question of the Day. On the slate for today: how many goals will Kessel bury this season? Consider his goal drought last year. Fluke? Consider he'll be playing a full season with Kulemin and Bozak who should

The Maple Leafs have announced their rookie camp roster at the official site. There are some names we haven't seen before. Who wants to go on a PPP scavenger hunt to figure out who these kids are? I'm just going to list where we got these

If Lee Stempniak (14 goals 14 games in Phx.) rolls out 25-30 goals this season it will be a futher indictment of Ron Wilson's coaching. - Scott Burnside There's an interesting phenomena with the Leafs: if anyone we trade has any success he's "
