Leafs End Season With A Loss To Ottawa, 1-0
In a way, it was a perfect last game for both Reimer and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Reimer stopped 36 of 37, including several breakaways after defensive breakdowns, but got no goal support and was saddled with the loss. The Leafs had a goal called off by an obvious high
[Weekend LL] Last Dance, Last Chance
It's the last game of the Leafs' NHL season.
Toronto Maple Leafs Do Smart Thing, Lose 4-2 to FLA
I can't help that the NHL incentivizes losing, but I can sure as hell buy in to it for the good of the team.
Leafs Fail to Win A Must Win: Jets 4, Leafs 2
The defense was bad, the offense wasn't great, and the playoff hopes are pretty much shot.
Jets @ Leafs Gamethread
Pavelec is in net, Evander Kane is a scratch, and the Leafs need two points to keep their playoff hopes alive. Bum bum bummm...
[Weekend LL] Another Day, Another Do-Or-Die
It's yet another near-elimination game, as the Leafs take on the Winnipeg Jets. The Hawks spared the Leafs some trouble by dispatching of Columbus in regular time with under 5 seconds to play, but Columbus, Toronto, and New Jersey are all dogging it out (and the Leafs have
Leafs Win A Wild One: TOR: 4, BOS: 3 (OT)
A blown lead. An injured goalie. An overtime hero. This one was a nailbiter.

Well, not really "stand" so much as "skate around in the Leafs' zone."

Points against the tough opponents losses against the easy ones: that's how you know it's a Toronto Maple Leafs playoff run.
The Ugly, The Good, and The Bad - Caps: 4, Leafs: 2
The Leafs showed up to Washington one period late, and it put them in a deficit that even a strong second period couldn't overcome.
It's Hockey Night in Canada, But Not For Toronto
The Leafs have a rare Saturday night off, as they travel from the west coast to Washington DC, where they'll take on the Caps at 3pm tomorrow. Good news, though: I've got a whole bunch of links for you to read. Chat about whatever second-rate team
Oh Well: Sharks Over Leafs, 6-2
The Leafs played the Sharks in the second half of a back to back. Sit down for this: they lost.
[LL] It's Game Day, And the Playoff Race is On
As Chemmy pointed out yesterday, the Leafs can't drag their feet on any of these upcoming games, especially not tonight against the Flyers - they call it Death March for a reason (although to be honest, "they" don't call it that - we do)
[Thursday LL] Deadline Fallout
What. a. trade. deadline. St. Louis to the Rangers, Gaborik to Columbus, Vanek to Montreal, Moulson to Minnesota, Halak to Washington (on a night Holtby was chased from the net), and "goalies everywhere." I was talking on twitter about some icons that got traded. Legwand, the franchise'

[Weekend LL] Miller, Halak Kick Off The Trade Season
There's about one hundred hours between now and the trade deadline, but the season is officially open as Big Name Ryan Miller and Little Name Steve Ott head to St. Louis in exchange for Halak, Stewart, and some futures (reaction posts are in the links). Girardi extended, which
Leafs Lose to Leaderless Long Islanders, 5-4 (OT)
The Leafs played the New York Islanders tonight, and dropped the lead three times. They walked out with one point for and a whopping five goals against.
[Weekend LL] Medal Round
The matchups are set, and this weekend Canada and Sweden will play for gold. After the US-Canada matchup, which looked and felt like a gold medal game, I'm already starting to itch for some NHL hockey. Sadly, there's only one game scheduled for Tuesday, and we
[Weekend LL] Wake and Skate
Good morning! Did you get up at 7 AM on a Saturday to watch the US play Russia? Good decision. If you missed Canada's game against Austria yesterday, this gif sums it up nicely:
Holy crap Sidney Crosby is good at hockey. US v. Russia presents the first
