Now it is time for the big prediction. The one that will label you as an ardent homer, a hopeless cynic, or something entirely else come April. Jonathan Willis looked at what the fantasy annuals were saying about the Maple Leafs' playoff hopes. TSN has the Leafs slotted into

It's not an exaggeration to say that the Toronto Maple Leafs' season rests entirely on the shoulders on James Reimer. As he came out of the woodwork in the second half of the season, fans became obsessed with the quiet spoken goalie with the exciting comparables. Most

In case you missed it, Michael Langlois of Vintage Leafs Memories, Darren Yourk, and James Mirtle and I put together a podcast previewing the upcoming Leafs' season. Aside from being hilariously out of date a mere 20 minutes after taping it (thanks David Steckel), one topic that was touched

Nazem Kadri, taken with the 7th overall pick in the 2008 NHL Draft, is still young. However, that has not stopped speculation that the Leafs may have begun to approach the end of the line with Kadri: But more and more, it appears that there are serious concerns with whether

From the moment that Tim Connolly was signed by the Toronto Maple Leafs it was clear that it was a high-risk, high-reward move. Connolly has (had?) the potential to help address a couple of Toronto's biggest shortcomings: Penalty Kill Over the past three seasons, the Sabres have averaged

Phil Kessel has spent another summer having his game examined from a number of angles. Is he scoring a lot of 'clutch' points? Phil Kessel may not dig the team out of deep holes but if he is involved in a goal then there's a good

Puck Drop: 7pm TV: Hockey Night in Canada (CBC) Radio: AM640 Internet: LeafsTV Interactive The Maple Leafs play host to fellow Original Six member Detroit tonight. Last night's game resulted in a Clarke MacArthur three game suspension as well as an eventful night for the Jake Gardiner -

The NHL has suspended Clarke MacArthur for three games (tonight's final preseason game and the first two of the regular season) for his hit to Justin Abdelkader's head as time expired in the third period last night. Damien Burke, I mean, Brian Cox, I mean Damien

"The verdict's still out if it's broken. It's just always looking a little messed up. I think [the hit] was late for sure. My back was to the wall so definitely not a clean hit." - Darryl Boyce via @JonasTSN1050 If Darryl

The Toronto Maple Leafs' game production crew has often had their pre-game ceremonies compared unfavourably with franchises like the Montreal Canadiens. However, last night, prior to the beginning of their first preseason game against the Ottawa Senators the tribute video honouring the memories of former Maple Leafs Alexander Karpovtsev,

Hockey is finally back. The Toronto Maple Leafs dropped the Ottawa Senators 4-2 on the strength of two goals by Tyler Bozak and a surprisingly competent looking powerplay. As with any preseason game, it is wise to keep The Onion's pitch perfect story in mind: Basing his argument

Yesterday Icethetics posted pictures of the Maple Leafs' new third sweater courtesy a reader who was in the Buffalo Sabres' team store. It is a return to the crest that the team wore when they won their final Stanley Cup championship in 1967. It on its own was

Courtesy of Hockey Inside/Out, here is video of the Toronto Maple Leafs facing off against the Montreal Canadiens in 1932 narrated by Foster Hewitt. It's a neat bit of video with quite a few startling differences including the absence of a red line, face-offs being done with

The recent tragedies in the NHL have been difficult to watch as relatively young men have lost their battles with unseen and largely unknowable demons. If there is a silver lining it is that it has spawned a lot of personal sharing that has highlighted the reality of depression. Tapeleg
