Maple Leafs v. Sabres: Fresh Hell
This is a quick one because Chemmy's busy at work and now I am too. Tack on anything about the game in the comments and this'll tide you over until the GDT. Brayden Irwin will be making his NHL debut and the word from Ron Wilson
Steve Simmons: Lazy Reporter, Laziest Reporter, or Something Sinister?
As the sun set on the 2006-2007 season, Steve Simmons wrote a story that set of a bit of a firestorm in Toronto alleging that story that Mats Sundin's career was in jeopardy due to impending hip surgery:

Maple Leafs 2 v. Thrashers 3: Officially Done
"It’s a sixty minute game, generally you’re supposed to give sixty minutes of effort and that wasn’t necessarily the case tonight. Isn’t it a sixty minute game? So we get twenty minutes of effort or twenty-five, it should be sixty." - Ron Wilson via
Maple Leafs v. Thrashers: Tuesday? Check. SE Opponent? Check.
Jonas Gustavsson has matched the longest winning streak for a goalie since Crazy Eddie Belfour won seven in a row before the lockout. There are other records but I won't mention them. His improved play has been a huge part in the Leafs' late surge for 28th.

On Sunday Sean Leahy and Puck Daddy were kind enough to invite Chemmy and I to submit five reasons that we love hockey. The reasons varied from a paternal connection to the enjoyment of road trips to the finer aspects of

Maple Leafs at Penguins: Go Crazy
Chemmy told me to use the original as my intro music on MLHS' short-lived podcast mostly because it mentions cocaine in the first verse and I'm Colombian. Get it? Anyway, the official video can't be embedded so here's a remix which is just
Maple Leafs v. Penguins: Red Hot...Leafs?
Don't look now but the Toronto Maple Leafs are the hottest team in the Eastern Conference. They are 8-2-0 in their last 10 and are top of the form table. The host Pittsburgh Penguins have been a thoroughly mediocre 4-3-3 over the same time span but they are

Well, well, well. Join us for the comeback indeed. 39 seconds was all that Mikhail Grabovski and Nikolai Kulemin, my Poni and Antro replacements (just kidding boys, you'll never be replaced!), needed to once again pair in ending overtime. Grabovski won the face-off back to Tomas Kaberle who

The Toronto Maple Leafs welcome the New York Rangers to the Air Canada Centre tonight. Both teams are out of the playoffs right now but this game still has a lot of importance. The Leafs play Pittsburgh tomorrow so if a split is good enough they'd be well
Maple Leafs v. Thrashers (ie Former Leafs): I Miss Nik Antropov
The Toronto Maple Leafs are lucky that this game is on the road. If it were at the Air Canada Centre then having not one but two major former Maple Leafs would probably cause the universe to implode. Pavel Kubina, like Jeff Finger, suffered from receiving a large contract and
Maple Leafs 3 v. Canadiens 2 (SO): First Round Exit!
Seconds after the Toronto Maple Leafs wrapped up their 3-2 shootout win over the Montreal Canadiens the standing room section in 319 exploded in song. Specifically, the frequently deployed and often backfiring "Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole". The Habs fans beside us were not too impressed and one even
