The Leafs host Columbus as the parade of Central Division foes continues. The Leafs have fallen to St. Louis and Chicago and managed to defeat Nashville and Detroit. Tonight's game will give them a chance to end their battles against the division with a winning record. The Blue

Nothing like a four day work week to put a smile on your face in the morning. The sun shines brighter and the commute is stress free when you know that you're looking at one less day to get to the weekend. Today also means that it'

Family Day's gotten off to a great start as you can probably tell. Three straight days of sleeping until at least 10am is a nice change from fighting with the snooze button. Anyway, here are some things to read on your day off or while you curse your

Everybody Loves Darcy but they also wonder why it took some asshat GM trying to depress his trade value so that he could steal Tucker to get him going. In the word's of some guy, the reports * The Deadline Schedule shows that some teams have made their GMs&

The other day George Cross in the local red top had a quote from an unnamed GM that "Tucker's done. I wouldn't trade my last draft pick for him." If Tucker is done then I hope he is as done for the next three

Great news from last night! Kings Win! So that means that with an LA win and a Toronto loss tonight the Leafs could find themselves with a 48.2% chance of landing the top pick in the draft. Even better, when they trade for Edmonton's pick from Anaheim

I won't lie. I am pumped about last night's results and I am not the only one. I started watching V for Vendetta and then my anti-Leafs (who swears he's a Leafs fan) roommate came home and saw that so I missed the third

I figured that I was spending an inordinate amount of time and space updating and posting the deadline schedule spreadsheet and then it hit me: I'm an idiot. I have used Google Documents before but until today it hadn't struck me to use it for this

Phew, the Leafs are that much closer to the bottom of the league. Good game last night and an interesting interview with JFJ. As clark4calder noted, he's eerily detached from the situation. Show some emotion man! Although, now I am really curious as to what his plan was

Just a quick note but good call by LeafFanInVan for calling the shutout. As soon as Stralman fell I hoped that the game wouldn't be decided on that play and of course it was partially. The other decisive play was Stajan's pass with 30 seconds left.

After the jump I have the updated Trade Deadline Schedule which now includes Tampa Bay, by virtue of their win over Montreal and because they could conceivably catch the SE division leading Canes, and Washington. Basically, the entire Southeast Division is in there because they could all just as easily

Another tonne of snow means that the morning drive will be spent trying to avoid those idiots that don't realize that you can't floor it when your wheels are half-buried in snow at a light. Anyway, read these to calm down. Remember, if you come across

First off, here's some great news for a former Leafs GM as JFJ got a job! He'll be taking part in a few segments but most notably a "GMs' Corner" with Mike Milbury in which I can only assume they'll look

Well, yesterday's trade was the big news and hopefully it kicks off two weeks of blockbuster after blockbuster because there is nothing more fun than a good trade. Other than some good wins but we don't want to see anymore of those. Anyway, here's

cross-posted (mostly) at The Battle of Ontario Well, glove tap to Mirtle and TSN for informing us that the senators agreed all along with the Leafs fans that the sens are a one-line team with only one good pair of defencemen. They've made a deal with the Hurricanes

So the Leafs are doing their best to suck us back into cheering for them. Well, I'd love to say that you couldn't trick me but if these bastards beat the Sabres, Islanders, and Bruins this week (no OT/SO wins either because those are gifts

Thanks to Loser Domi I can now find the historical standings for the past two seasons. I thought it would make a nice Sunday morning post so I'll try it out as that for now and if the Leafs managed to make up any more ground on the

What a week for fans of the Leafs. We've had the Slide for Stamkos going for a long while now and through most of it's existence the Leafs have been ensconced in 28th place. This week not only saw the Leafs beat bitter rivals ottawa and

Today's oddly timed game will be the first of a trio of NHL games that will highlight the Hockey Day in Canada celebrations. The CBC will be broadcasting from Winkler, Manitoba and will feature stories on Joe Juneau and Matt Stairs. The Leafs host the Detroit Red Wings

There is a theory among the ill-informed that what will topple MLSE will be some sort of revolution by the put-upon proletariat. MF37 and Dave Feschuk, of all people, handily disproved that falsehood. The truth is that the vast majority of the money that MLSE rakes in comes in from

Woo-hoo! Big win last night. LA and Tampa won which means that the win didn't even hamper the Leafs' shot at last place. The Habs look just like another rival of ours - the senators. Montreal basically has a one-line offence, questionable defence, and hot goaltending that

Tonight's game was obviously frustrating to say the least. On December 15th I made the trek to the Bell Centre and saw the Leafs lay an egg that kicked off the run that led to JFJ's firing. It was actually a great night other than the

This was always going to be a tough game despite most Leafs fans acceptance of the Slide since it came against a historic rival. It just got worse because tonight the Habs could move into first place in the Eastern Conference. HF29 correctly labels it a 'trap game'

We've all long accepted that it's better long-term for the Leafs to lose games. However, it's also crap to lose against your stupid rivals that finally have a team better than yours for the first time in 14 years. So tonight will be a

I don't often check the Ice Chips on TSN but MF37 alerted me that it held some wonderful news: Our prayers have been answered! Andy Fucking Wozniewski, aka Herpes, aka Make-A-Wish, aka the number one reason that beer glasses would fly into my wall every other night has
