The Race for a Roster Spot
Posted on 7 Sep 2011 by Ben Fisher.
Here we are: about a week away from the Sept. 16 opening of Leafs’ training camp and GM Brian Burke has laid out what’s on the line. Burke acknowledged that most of the spots up front would be established heading into camp, although he opened the door to a battle for the third-line winger slot, as well as an opportunity to stay with the big club as the 13th forward. Already in place are the...

The Playoff Push is Over, Now What?
Posted on 6 Apr 2011 by Ben Fisher.
It’s official: this Leafs’ season will now end just as the past five have before it – with the team on the outside of the playoff picture looking in. Yet there’s an optimism surrounding the club among even the most hardened of Buds’ supporters that has been lacking before. They see a star player (Phil Kessel) suddenly playing like a star player, several talented young wingers (Clarke ...

Leafs Nation: This is the new plan?!?
Posted on 20 Dec 2010 by Mike De Petrillo.
Brett Lebda is playing LW tonight and Nazem Kadri continues to be a healthy scratch. In what bizarre edition of reality does this scenario even remotely make sense? Seriously? Brett Lebda. Makes sense that the under-achieving defenseman that is incapable of cracking the blue line when all Leafs defensemen are healthy is now taking NHL playing time away from the organization’s top prospec...

Leafs Nation: Game Night
Posted on 2 Dec 2010 by Mike De Petrillo.
Here we are on Leafs game night, welcoming the equally woeful Edmonton Oilers to town tonight for an all Canadian match-up. Both teams are sitting at 20 points for the year, with the Oilers accruing one more loss than our beloved blue and white. The Leafs are 8-11-4 this season, good for a share of 3rd last in the NHL. I guess Leafs Nation can consider that an improvement over last yearâ€...

Leafs Dance With the Devils
Posted on 19 Nov 2010 by RJ Emptage.
A second period outburst against the Nashville Predators dramatically ended the Toronto Maple Leafs eight game losing skid and lifted the weight of the world off of their shoulders. The win on Tuesday looked out of the question as the Predators attacked the Leafs for 3 first period goals, all but collapsing their confidence. A late first period goal from Luke Schenn seemed to lift spirits and s...

Leafs Call Up Kadri, Aulie
Posted on 12 Nov 2010 by RJ Emptage.
Looking to break out of their current slump and perhaps send a message to underachieving players, the Toronto Maple Leafs have called up forward Nazem Kadri and defenceman Keith Aulie from the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League on Friday. Kadri has five goals and nine assists for 14 points in 14 games with the Marlies this season. Leafs President and GM Brian Burke along with Head...

Leafs Nation: The Circus Is In Town…And They Brought Nazem Kadri With Them
Posted on 12 Nov 2010 by Mike De Petrillo.
In advance of tomorrow nights tilt with the Vancouver Canucks at the ACC, the circus is coming to town. No elephants, clowns – or my personal favorite – motorcycles in a spherical cage this time, just Maple Leaf golden boy Nazem kadri…riding into town (even though the Marlies play in Toronto too…true, I looked it up) to save the Leafs from themselves. If you could stom...

Leafs Continue To Dry Up In The Sunshine State
Posted on 11 Nov 2010 by RJ Emptage.
With frustration mounting to the point where efforts are being called into question by veteran goaltender J.S. Gigeure, the Toronto Maple Leafs are void the luxury of rest as they prepare for their second game in as many nights. The two game road trip to the sunshine state was viewed as a chance to bring the team together and encourage them to reestablish their identity as they attempt to ...

Leafs Suffer A Jolt Of Lightning
Posted on 10 Nov 2010 by RJ Emptage.
Coming off two disappointing and emotional losses in which they coughed up leads late in the third period before surrendering the shootout, the Toronto Maple Leafs headed for the sunshine state to take on the Tampa Bay Lightning. The game marks the first in two nights for the Maple Leafs as they look to propel themselves back into the win column. After starting the season with a bounce and regi...

Armstrong’s pain is Caputi’s gain
Posted on 27 Oct 2010 by Ben Fisher.
Luca Caputi’s demotion to the Marlies lasted just eight games, as he was recalled today by the Leafs to take the place of the injured Colby Armstrong. While Caputi may not have been the most deserving Marlies winger for the promotion, the team feels that he is the best-suited candidate to step in immediately and fill the third line void left by Armstrong. Six games into the AHL season, Caputi...

Mitchell hangs on as Leafs make final roster cuts
Posted on 4 Oct 2010 by Ben Fisher.
It isn’t often that Brian Burke and Ron Wilson opt to take the safe route, but that seems to be what the Leafs GM-head coach duo did in tabbing John Mitchell for a roster spot ahead of Christian Hanson, Luca Caputi and Nazem Kadri. Mitchell didn’t impress anyone in training camp and looked to be on the outs with Hanson, Caputi and Tim Brent having better camps. But the third-year veteran wo...

Leafs Nation: Final Cuts Expected Today
Posted on 4 Oct 2010 by Mike De Petrillo.
It is just around the corner – the 2010/11 Maple Leafs season is on the horizon! From coast to coast in Canada, Leafs Nation has collectively begun holding their breath. So many questions to be answered…will there be a win in the first 5 games? 10? Will the goaltending and defense hold up? Who's going to score the goals aside from Phil ‘the thrill' Kessel? Will the ...
