FTB - Opening Day Edition!
Wooooo-hoooooo!!! The puck drops in about 11 hours and our long, long, long, looooong summer of despair ends and the first season of renewal begins. We'll have lots of stuff for you today including previews from Chemmy and I, a look at the experts' predictions for the
I Dream of Draft Day
We are just over a day away from the beginning of the season so it's time to make predictions for the upcoming season. Throughout the day we have brought you a number of previews and the latest to step up to the plate is The Muppet. He'
Reading the Tea Leafs: What We Learned
The journey that began on August 27th with Nik Antropov was completed yesterday as we completed punfully-named season previews for thirty three players. When Chemmy and I embarked on the journey we were not sure how this would work out or if we would forget to finish or if we
Reading the Tea Leafs: Luke Schenn
Following on the success of two other dormant series Chemmy and I have decided that in order to fill the gap in NHL news that we'll take a look at each of the current Leafs, possible Leafs on the Marlies, janitors, marketing interns and prospects. We'll
FTB - Now What? Edition
So the preseason is over and now we wait to figure out who is sticking around. Paul Hunter makes his guesses and notes that a quintet of guys have been sent to the Marlies (no surprises). Reality and his guesses have been close to what I predicted so far. If

I wonder what the playoff picture would have looked like if the Leafs had been able to play the Blue Jackets more
Leafs 3 v. Red Wings 4: Reaction Open Thread
Well, I ended up missing this game in favour of watching Toronto FC continue to give me a ray of hope of seeing a team in the playoffs this year. A huge 3-1 win over the New York Red Bulls keeps them in the hunt although it will require running

The Bubble Boys Episode I
Tonight's game will be the last one before the Leafs try to work their way down to a 23 man roster. Here's a look at who's left with the Leafs:
Forwards: Nik Antropov, Mark Bell, Jason Blake, Boyd Devereaux, Robbie Earl, Mikhail Grabovski, Nik
FTB - Morning After
The Leafs continue their hectic end to the exhibition schedule with a rematch against the Red Wings tonight at the ACC. The NHL season actually starts at noon today in Prague and Stockholm but the rest of the league has exhibition games. Weird. Anyway, while you wait for tonight'
Leafs 3 at Red Wings 5: A Pattern Emerges
Ron Wilson has his troops ready to execute the Leafs' Tank for Tavares game plan. They've seemingly already mastered the ability to play very well for 56 minutes helping themselves to develop all aspects of their game and their decision making process while still throwing away points
Preseason Game 7
The game is of course on the official station of Leafs Nation so most of you are SOL. The free online preview of LeafsTV Interactive is, predictably, swamped and useless but this post comes to the rescue. Plus, there are some very cool pictures of 1967ers old radio.

FTB - Game Recap Edition
It's a super post! Part game recap, part FTB, all sadness. What can be said about last night that wasn't said in the game thread? On the bright side, the game thread was once again a good place to share the pain of watching a Leaf

FTB - Hissy Fit Edition
Before you do anything, read the post below this and make sure to take a look at the hissy fit Cox posted after getting some logical replies. Now, look at what he wrote this morning in which he suggests that the Leafs should trade two players that will be veteran
Stopping The Spin
No idea if I'll do this more often but here's my first response to Damien Cox's "blog" (ie extra column that didn't make the newspaper because it wasn't good enough). I submitted it as a comment and we&

Leafs 4 v. Blues 3 (SO): The Future Is Now?
Obviously, the thought of hearing "LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKE" ringing around the ACC as Schenn wallpapers another opposition forward or dekes his way to a shootout winner has all of us daydreaming about how many Norris Trophies he will win in his career (early over/under: 3.5) or when he
Preseason Game 5
The storylines are set for this game. First off there is the "will they blow another third period lead" view of the game. The media will be salivating at the thought to hit back at Ron Wilson for trying to get the "does the media do even

FTB - First and Last Impressions
I really, really enjoy movies. I love going to the theatres, plonking down $25 for a ticket, some popcorn, and a large pop and suspending belief for a couple of hours. Come to think of it that might explain why I cheer for the Leafs. Sadly, this weekend one of
Leafs 2 at Sabres 3 (OT): Have Your Say
Computer problems kept a game thread from going up or a preview. My apologies. I actually only caught this game on the radio and only some portions. Here were tonight's rosters. By my count, the Leafs'scratches included eight NHL players and the Sabres only three so
