Leafs at the Break
Posted on 24 Dec 2011 by Ben Fisher.
Complain all you want, Leaf fans. Complain about how your club lacks secondary scoring, doesn’t have the grit or that you’d expect from a Brian Burke team and are more penalty pacifists than penalty killers. The bottom line, as we arrive at the Christmas break, is that the 2011-12 Leafs are significantly improved from the 2010-11 squad. The record is the easiest point of comparison. The Bud...

The Leafs This Week – Nov. 3-10
Posted on 10 Nov 2011 by Ben Fisher.
What Happened The Leafs (9-5-1) are probably asking themselves the very same question as is written in the above headline right now. The week started out encouragingly enough, with a win over Columbus that was by no means a masterpiece but did get the club its ninth win and gave Ben Scrivens his first. Then, the roof collapsed. In two home games, the Buds surrendered 12 goals while just scoring...

Leafs’ Season Preview: The D-Men
Posted on 28 Sep 2011 by Ben Fisher.
As with any training camp, the prominent story on the Leafs’ blue line this September has been one of the fringes. That is, who can hold on to a spot in time for next Thursday’s opener and who finds themselves suiting up down the street at Ricoh Coliseum. The problem with that focus is that it ignores the bigger picture: Toronto is chockfull of young, inexpensive blue line depth. Regardless...

Things getting ugly in Leafs Nation
Posted on 10 Nov 2010 by Ben Fisher.
This is typically the point in the Leafs’ season where I appeal for cooler heads to prevail and fans not to engulf themselves into a full-scale panic. Pick any one of my trusty reassurance tools: ‘it’s still early’, ‘the Leafs’ 5-6-3 record isn’t that bad’ or ‘hey look, Toronto’s just two points out of the No. 8 spot in the East’. Not this time. True, they still have oodle...

Leafs Nation: Road Trip to FLA…”A Tale of Two Tweeters”
Posted on 9 Nov 2010 by Mike De Petrillo.
It’s game night in FLA…that brings me back to the immortal FLA hockey references in the movie Slapshot, which for the most part are not fit to print in a classy blog like Leafs Nation on PSB. If ever there was a time to step up and steal a couple of points it’s this swing through the sun-belt, hopefully with more than a few Canadian snow-birds going right from their early bird dinne...

Capital Heartbreak
Posted on 4 Nov 2010 by RJ Emptage.
After a few late goals in Tuesday's loss against the Ottawa Senators, the Toronto Maple Leafs look to keep their offense consistent, and who better to take notes from than the high flying Washington Capitals. Sidelined 4-6 weeks with a deep laceration to his leg, the Maple Leafs took to the ice without Captain Dion Phaneuf. Coming out with a steady pace and containing the flurry of chances cert...

Leafs Nation: Stop the Bleeding (Literally)
Posted on 3 Nov 2010 by Mike De Petrillo.
I’ll have to start by admitting that due to family commitments I wasn’t able to focus on the game last night as I normally would; I saw bits and pieces but not enough to make a good assessment of yet another Maple Leafs loss. On paper (and the ice), this season is starting to head down the same path as the rest of them since the lock-out… Scoring, not just secondary scoring, is an iss...

Leafs Nation: Notes After Nine
Posted on 29 Oct 2010 by Mike De Petrillo.
A disappointing loss for the Blue and White tonight. Another strong effort thwarted by a hot goalie, timely scoring and a more physically effective opponent. And to any loyal Leaf fan, the sting of the “Thank You…” chant from the Bruin faithful after Tyler Seguin's second career goal. Another largely ineffective effort was turned in by Phil Kessel in Boston – the ...

Leafs Bite Back In The “Big Apple”
Posted on 16 Oct 2010 by RJ Emptage.
Looking to start the season 4-0 for the first time since the glory days of 93-94, the Toronto Maple Leafs took to Broadway to display their new found attitude. In their first game at home the New York Rangers came out with a jump, much to the delight of the MSG faithful, and captured the early lead. Not once in this young season have the Maple Leafs surrendered the first goal, however the team ...

Quick Thoughts on Kaberle
Posted on 16 Aug 2010 by Ben Fisher.
As any Leafs fan knows, Tomas Kaberle has survived yet another heavy round of trade speculation and, now that his no-trade clause has come back into effect, will remain in the blue and white once training camp opens next month. Here are a few random thoughts on the deal that wasn’t: Keeping an established, puck-moving defenceman is a bad thing? I know that Leafs Nation is anxious to see their...

INCEPTION – Possible Instances in the NHL
Posted on 26 Jul 2010 by Corey Krakower.
I recently watched the movie Inception, and aside from being blown away by the movie itself, it got me thinking if the art of entering someone’s subconscious and planting an idea can actually be done. I started doing some research and found several instances where I believe Inception was performed on some of hockey’s greatest minds. Instance of Inception: On July 1, 2008, Wade Redden ente...

Leafs sign Marcel Muller
Posted on 14 Jul 2010 by Ben Fisher.
On a day when the Blue Jays swapped shortstops and the Raptors finalized the Hedo Turkoglu-for-Leandro Barbosa deal, Brian Burke and the Maple Leafs weren’t content sitting on the sidelines. The Leafs made their move on Toronto’s Acquisition Wednesday, dipping back into the European talent pool to sign 22-year old German winger Marcel Muller to a two-year entry-level deal. The 6’2” Mull...
