These two won't be smiling when I'm done with them MF37's review basically sums up all that I felt about the book but that won't stop me from putting some of my own thoughts on the book here before letting you get

"This is a day that represents failure. I’m not happy. My teams have been in the playoffs for seven straight years and (missing), it burns my butt. Any day that you have to stand in front of the media and talk about not qualifying for the playoffs should

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're all fickle for 'suddenly' turning on Vesa Toskala. A lot of good from this game will be overlooked because of Toskalol's performance and a lot of bad won't be highlighted by anyone other than Ron Wilson. The Leafs&

By now you've all likely seen THE Gustavsson save from this game but it's hard to understand how crazy the reaction was to the save. People leapt from their seats and gave The Monster a prolonged ovation and spent from the until the end of the

The Toronto Maple Leafs survived blowing a 3-0 lead to beat the Red Wings in a shootout on the back of goals by Nikolai Kulemin, on his patented (only) move, and John (effin'!) Mitchell, with a rocket glove side. A brace by Viktor Stalberg and another goal from Nazem

OdinMercer owes me $100. Yessss!

If you're not asleep already jump on the fresh ice!

The Toronto Maple Leafs picked up a fourth consecutive win as they topped the "Pittsburgh Penguins" for the second time in a week. Once again they came back from a two goal deficit but instead of capitalising on a five-minute major they punished the Penguins for repeated icings.

This is your post-game instant reaction thread. Kadri: great deke or greatest deke?

CHEMMY EDIT: PPP'S POST SUCKS TRY THIS ON FOR SIZE:

Update September 21 10:11PM - Ice Chips has notes on the Leafs' latest cuts and it looks like Blacker is back in Windsor. Update: I've updated the training camp roster after Burke's first round of cuts. You can find the full list of cuts

As per the press release that Archimedies was so awesome to e-mail me: Brian Burke, president and general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, announced Saturday that the hockey club has trimmed its training camp roster. The following players were assigned to the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League:

FREE AT LAST! FREE AT LAST! At least, not tonight. Hilariously, on Twitter Archimedies has seen people asking if Kessel will be playing tonight. For now we'll have to live with the guys after the jump. The Leafs' top four defencemen will be in the lineup tonight

Well la-dee-da. The worst team that the Leafs iced their weakest team but it was strong enough to capitalise on a five minute major with three powerplay goals. Pittsburgh carried a 2-0 lead into the second period, but right wing Craig Adams was penalized five minutes for elbowing and the

This is the overflow!

Darren Dreger of TSN is reporting that Brian Burke, the truculent GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs, has acquired Phil Kessel from the Boston Bruins. Damien Cox has just reported that it's a 5 year deal for $27M and the Bruins will receive two first round picks and

Mario keeps Sidney warm After the Penguins won the Stanley Cup last summer I made the seemingly insane argument that a Leafs' win had been the catalyst for their success. In retrospect, that was bang on. Tonight Crosby won't even be gracious enough to welcome the Leafs

The goalies that shut out the Philadelphia Flyers last night will get a chance to continue their shutout streak against the other half of Pennsylvannia's hockey duo. Jason Allison is back in the lineup and Matt Stajan is making his first appearance of the exhibition season as the

Well, my name is known all over the world By all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls. I'm goin' down in history As the baddest 7th overall pick in history. If you didn't get excited by Nazem Kadri's first goal in a

Oh yeah, light up that cigarette because that game was goooood. How good? Let me count the ways: 1. Leafs rack up the shutout 2. Nazem Kadri gets his first goal at the kind of NHL level 3. The penalty kill was perfect 4. Ponikarovsky and Kulemin woke up in

Grabovski says: dreenk cup of most delicious red pineapple joos and see me make goals

Stempniak got the game started by pouncing on a rebound before Kadri combined with Hagman for a real beauty. Ondrus had a pretty terrible fight and Luke Schenn showed Carcillo what happens when a deity gets upset with the common man. It was so flood but it sure floored the

The Flyers are resting their best fighter out of fear of Luke Schenn. Last night was a great game thread. People could come in after the game (me) and read exactly what was happening and follow the game vicariously through everyone's Bozak and Stalberg love. So this is

Puck Drop: 7pm Game Thread Drop: 6:45pm Broadcast: LeafsTV - Canada, NHL Network - USA This is why I love the pre-season. There are games almost every night and new players to evaluate. Last night's game is still a blur, mostly because that's all that

The Toronto Maple Leafs fell to the Boston Bruins in the Coca-Cola "Zero Fans" First Game 3-2. The Leafs' goals were scored by Brian Burke's twin college signings Tyler Bozak on a gorgeous shorthanded rush and Viktor Stalberg on the powerplay. Unfortunately, the more things
