There are fourteen games left and the Leafs need to win them all to have a 43.6% chance of making the postseason*. That starts now. * Disclaimer: lol And now a message from WAC: I can only hope this game is not a DISASTUH. The Leafs have been on a

Puck Drop: 5PM Leafs-TV While the Leafs were busy giving the people's elbow to Edmonton last night the Islanders pedigreed the Devils 4-2 on goals by Freddy Meyer (Go Terriers!), Jon Sim, Sean Bergenheim and Mark Streit. The Leafs have finally won three games in a row for

Celebrate because we got two points and have continued our fifth straight run of great play after we're mathematically eliminated. Gustavsson didn't have the best night and all in all it's not very encouraging that we gave up four goals to the Oilers. Sure

Yet again the Leafs are involved in a #29 vs #30 match. This is depressing. Jonas Gustavsson will start across from Jeff Drouin-Desl I'm not typing any more of that guy's name you know who I'm talking about. Looks like the site's

Puck Drop: 7PM Leafs-TV If you haven't seen Steven Stamkos you really should try to. He's got points in 17 straight games (16G 15A 31Pts) and comes home to Ontario tonight with 41 goals: three behind Crosby and Ovechkin for the league lead. The line of

Short NNN today, this article was as dull as it is long. In a game full of plot lines, including the heating up of the nasty Battle of Ontario rivalry and an unlikely outstanding goaltending performance by Senators goaltender Pascal Leclaire, the main story was about how the Senators managed

"Useful" player John Mitchell got hurt when Chris Neil breathed on him last night. He skated this morning and will play. Meanwhile Fredrik Sjostrom left with an apparent shoulder injury which is a shame as he was playing on the PK and looking relatively useful. Tim Brent and

I missed the whole game but I feel like I had a positive influence on the outcome. While at dinner I checked Twitter and saw we were losing 1-0. I refreshed twitter and apparently Phil Kessel scored a dandy. I arrived home in time for the shootout... enough said. Jonas

Puck Drop: 7PM ET CBC Eight Ottawa players have the flu including "goaltender" Brian Elliott and will be game time decisions. In the words of Owen Nolan: Boo hoo, so what. I don't care. We were tired, too, and we found a way to battle back

J.S. Giguere let in a laugher of a goal by Miroslav Satan in the first period and finished the game by getting fooled by Satan on a stupid little stick move in the shootout. It's hard to pin this game on Giguere because he played reasonably well

I return to my throne after a long absence to bring you a game thread. It's Don Cherry Night so one can expect a montage of his suits to burn the eyes. We're back in action and out a few bodies. We'll miss Our

Long time reader first time caller mf37 is sort of like my muse. If I had to credit him every time he gave me an idea for a post or shoved me in the right direction you'd all probably tell me to save the time and just have

Lee Stempniak has been traded to Phoenix for a couple of late round draft picks. We've successfully converted two first round picks in Alex Steen and Carlo Colaiacovo into a 4th and a 7th rounder. Really it's no wonder why Toronto never wins games. Lee Stempniak

Nobody score until the cup hits the ground.

Puck Drop: 7PM ET Sportsnet The NHL is back. I don't really like Olympic hockey that much; it tears cohesive fanbases apart and subjects us to a week of good teams vs. Norway and Belarus before spending two days on the actual good games. In a lot of

I woke up this morning to find out that the Canadian Women's Ice Hockey team, having won gold in Vancouver, is being investigated by the IOC for celebrating their medal win. Not that being investigated is anything of note; the IOC investigates more pointless gestures than the Vancouver

On May 5th Chris DiDomenico fractured his thigh bone when he ran into the end boards during the QMJHL finals. At the time we were all impressed with his commitment: Didomenico , despite his extreme pain, repeated over and over while prone on the ice "je veux la game"

This is an exciting time for the Leafs. I can't remember the last time we had a promising young playmaking center who wore #42. No I didn't forget about Kyle Wellwood but I didn't include "pear shaped" in my description and an

Jonas Siegel had a chat with Luke Schenn about Dion Phaneuf and his sophomore slump. Some interesting quotes: Well and [Phaneuf]’s got…I don’t know if snarl is the right word… SCHENN: Yeah, a little bit. Swagger? Yeah swagger. Is that fair, you’re starting to gain a
