Intermission 1 2 3 Total Boston Bruins 3 3 Toronto Maple Leafs 3 3 Join the Game Thread I am going to go ahead and assume that neither Claude Julien nor Ron Wilson are particularly pleased with their goaltenders tonight. Pogge looked absolutely lost on that second goal by Ryder

The Gerberserker expresses mildly annoyance with Stevie Wonder's brother from a different mother Mike Leggo I missed the first period but from all accounts the game that crescendo to a roaring finish began with a pianissimo passage. Phil Oreskovic's first career NHL goal raised the temperature

I guess it's true what they say about Alex Ponikarovsky: You cannot hope to stop Poni you can only hope to contain him. The Habs fans should be delighted that their team were able to hold him to only two goals and two assists. Not to mention that

Courtesy blue with age behind enemy lines After the last Leafs' game it looked like the continuing feud between Mikhail Grabovski and the younger Kostitsyn sister would be the primary storyline since the playoffs would be a sure thing for the Canadiens and the Leafs would be playing out

Final - 3.19.2009 1 2 3 Total Toronto Maple Leafs 1 0 0 1 Florida Panthers 1 2 0 3 Complete Coverage > This game was eerily similar to Tuesday's game except for the empty seats, the smaller contingent of Leafs fans, lack of a stirring

Those fans aren't cheering they're angry Leafs fans There was no rant. Barely even an icy stare. Instead, with his work-in-progress team down 3-0 to the Tampa Bay Lightning, Ron Wilson called a timeout to help his team find what he called "our equilibrium."

The trade deadline did not exactly result in the massive firesale that we had hoped for but a couple of players did move on to greener pastures. It goes without saying that the bigger move of the two was Nik Antropov heading to Broadway. He has taken to Madison Square

A lot of the older commenters here like to remind us that things have been much worse. Those of us of the 22-32 vintage have one man to thank for revitalising the Leafs in the early 90s - Doug Risebrough: Forced off the ice because of the knee injury, Risebrough

On a fine English afternoon the glorious Reds of Liverpool FC entered daunting (and crumbling) Old Trafford to face off against some other team playing in red. It quickly became apparent that they would be facing off against not just the 11 men on the pitch but the man in

How bad was the Leafs' performance last night against the Tampa Bay Lightning? Bad enough to precipitate a closed door team meeting immediately after the end of the game. Any more suggestions from Working Class bloggers that this team should be trying to lose on purpose should be met

Geez, for a team that is being lead by a coach that Howard Berger would have you believe is trying to lose on purpose the Leafs are really feisty. One night after Wilson got engaged in a one-sided feud with Bruce "Malkin to the Kings" Garrioch Ronnie was

Bruce Garrioch watches the game wtih Hillary Duff I find it ridiculous that an idiot like James Duthie will imagine that he has the right to dismiss bloggers as rumour-mongerers that live in their parents' basement when he hosts segments that do nothing but monger rumours. Blogger v. journalist

It was flashback Monday as CuJo stymied the senators for most of the game The 2-1 loss to the senators is the kind that I think most Leaf fans can live with this season (and maybe next year's as well). The Leafs outplayed the senators for the majority

The main talking point from Saturday night probably feels like a re-run. Just like last week Donald S. Cherry targeted the Washington Capitals with a rant against Ted Leonsis and the loss of tradition: Obviously, on the heels of last week's rant against showing emotion, this week'

If Marc Pouliot is ever the victim of a headshot or any sort of dirty play my mind will wander back to early in the first period and I'll think that karma has once again settled the score. Mike Van Ryn, sporting the 'A' and seemingly

The Streak is over! It certainly didn't end in the way that we thought it would. There was no 8th straight overtime game for the Leafs so they'll have to share the record of 7 with the 2003-2004 Oilers. They did, however, manage to push their

It's always helpful to have signs that tell you when to panic. A lot of ink has been spilled about the impending salary cap collapse after the 2009-2010 season. Thanks to the NHL's opaque accounting policies it's difficult to predict just how far the

Wow. The Maple Leafs just acquired Olaf Kolzig, Jamie Heward, Andy Rogers and a 4th round pick from the Tampa Bay Lightning for Richard Petiot. Olaf Kolzig #37 / Goalie / Tampa Bay Lightning Height: 6-3 Weight: 225 Born: Apr 06, 1970 GP MIN W L T EGA GA GAA SA SV

Who needs Batman? Gotham just got SuperAntro It is official. The Toronto Maple Leafs have traded away my favourite player. They sent him to the New York Rangers for a second rounder and a conditional pick. Does that properly compensate the team? Considering he is a rental it's

The Leafs have picked up Martin Gerber off of waivers. This is apparently a humourous response to the senators trading for Pascal LeClaire. Leaf fans need no introduction to the hilarity that is Gerber. Below are his stats for a good giggle. Remember when he got the 'flu'

I am the prototypical bookworm. I'll read anything and everything I can get my hands on wherever I am. I love paperbacks because I can fit them in my jacket pocket where they are ready to save me from boredom. I'll likely meander my way through

"Wilson's sending you out against the sens? The sens really do suck." If you need musical accompaniement to what you're feeling this morning as you realize that the Leafs are 7-1-1 against the senators in their last nine meetings I suggest you give this
