Vote, Weep, Whatever
It's Monday morning which means two things: that it's time to head to the polls and vote in the Fan Confidence Poll. Last week's tally was 42 which gives us a run of 64-68-66-60-61-66-73-77-64-53-42 since the inception of the poll. We're setting

There's no doubt the Leafs have been better tonight than last night. They've been more engaged physically and creating some pressure. On another note, the game
Maple Leafs 0 v. Lightning 4: Blanked
"I don't understand why it's not happening. There's nothing given in this league. It's a tough league to win in, especially on the road. You need to show up ready. Things might not go your way, that's understandable, and
Measuring The Impact Of Special Teams
Last Thursday Chemmy wrote a post looking at the Maple Leafs' special teams play over the course of the season in individual games as well as on an ongoing basis. It's a seemingly simple concept for a post: the Leafs' PP and PK are getting worse

Enhancing The Fan Experience: Getting The Banter Going
Micheal Grange has a story in the Globe and Mail wondering why the North American fan experience is so sanitized and lacking in both genuine activity and ritual:
It's not as if we can't do rituals.
Canadian sports fans trot out theirs when needed, from the
Maple Leafs 2 v. Senators 3: Mental Errors Costly
Tonight's 3-2 Maple Leafs loss to the Ottawa Senators was a lot of things, nothing good of course, but it was above all a clear sign to both fanbases that there respective teams are no more than bubble teams in the Eastern Conference. The game started out pretty
Maple Leafs 0 v. Senators 3
This is your third period thread for the Leafs' glorious comeback.
4-3! We're going to win 4-3!
4-3! We're going to win 4-3!
p.s. if you're here commenting just to be an asshole then just get the fuck out.
Maple Leafs 0 v. Senators 1
Mr. Underwood potted a penalty shot past Jean-Sebastien Giguere to give the Senators a 1-0 lead. The game has alternated between choppy and poor. Giguere was likely bored out of his skull until the last 6 minutes when the Leafs decided to graciously remind the Senators of the days when

Stopping The Spin: Draft Schmaft And CBA Problems
It is time for our third installment of "Answer Damien Cox's Mailbag Without Being A Jerk...Unless It Really Calls For It". For those of you new to this new feature I take the questions from Damien Cox's Mailbag at The Spin and provide
Maple Leafs 3 v. Panthers 1: Eye For An Eye
The Toronto Maple Leafs played a stifling defensive opponent in the Florida Panthers and came away with a 3-1 win. It wasn't pretty but it was two points against a team that has had their number recently in Toronto. The Panthers had won five of the last seven

Maple Leafs 2 at Flyer 5: Listless
The Toronto Maple Leafs have a history of laying eggs in Philadelphia. For at least as long as I remember, and certainly beyond, they have struggled first at the Spectrum and now at the Wachovia Center or whatever it's called this week. Saturday night was no different as
Stopping The Spin: Back In The Saddle
Earlier this week I decided to take a tried and true way of finding material for a mailbox: Toronto Sun'ing it. You guys enjoyed the first installment so much that you're getting another one. The real fun comes in trying to figure out who has the
Maple Leafs 1 v. Rangers 2: One Of Those Nights
What the Leafs need to do is call it a learning experience and keep moving.

Remember last year when this was the only silver lining to practically every game? Yeah, I do too but only because I dredge through the memories during therapy so that I can
Maple Leafs 1 v. Islanders 2 (OT): Them's The Breaks
The Toronto Maple Leafs have been slayed. All it took was a spectacular game by 41 year old Dwayne Roloson, a borderline call going against the team, and a John Tavares laser to stop the Leafs' march towards an undefeated season. The bright side is that not every team
Maple Leafs 0 v. Islanders 0
This game has been played at such a fast pace that this guy would be left behind. Lots of good pressure by both teams but no goals. This is for the people that don't have their passports stamped to go to Islanders Country or that have to come
Stopping The Spin
I've always wondered what happens to letters to the editor. People write in expecting an answer to their query and then they get Damien Cox's reply? Poor people. Cox then uses these misdirected inquiries to create a weekly mailbag. Since I usually disagree with his answers

Maple Leafs 4 at Penguins 3: Gee Thanks!
The undefeated Toronto Maple Leafs strolled into the Pittsburgh Penguins' new home, the Consol Energy Centre, and emerged victorious 4-3. Now, we Leafs fans are obviously prone to veering from glee-filled highs to morose lows so it is fabulous(!) to have so many people ready to remind us of

It's Monday Tuesday morning which means two things: that it's time to head to the polls and vote in the Fan Confidence Poll and that Canadian Thanksgiving is the only one that makes any sense. It's about the harvest dummies. Last week's
