It might be that disastrous collapse in game 7 of the first round. It also might be the fact that their number one goalie and captain have just one year left of their deals. Dave Nonis faced many questions as General Manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs Thursday at locker clean out day.
Game 7. It is the most heart-wrenching 60 minutes of hockey you will experience until overtime. Then, it is downright torture. A Maple Leafs hockey fan- and I’m not talking about the ones that come out of the woodwork and jump on the bandwagon posting Facebook statuses revealing their lack of knowledge- has gone through ...
Twitter has become an online destination for fans of any sport of congregate. It creates a community that not only brings fans together, but is home to some pretty awesome comedy and chirping. That being said, why tell you what happened in game 6 of the Leafs/Bruins series when I can give you the highlights ...
It’s not over ’til it’s over. For the Toronto Maple Leafs… it’s not over, yet. They’ve managed to drop both home games and win two on the road to stay behind in the series 3-2. The Boston Bruins seem to be… not the Bruins who dominated the Leafs all season. That being said, the Leafs ...

There were expectations, there was hype, there was a blockbuster trade; that doesn’t secure wins. More often than not, blockbuster trades don’t live up to their expectations. Fans and analysts ...
Sometimes things don’t always work out the way you wanted them to. Sometimes things don’t work out the way they were supposed to, or the way 99% of NHL fans predicted. Case and point: the 2012-13 Carolina Hurricanes. Fresh new season for Head Coach Kirk Muller to work with, a couple new studs working up front ...
There’s something to be said for novelty. Nobody wants an Andy Warhol Campbell’s soup can screen print, but everyone wants one from 1962. It is one of the most iconic and redistributed prints of the pop-art era. The only value in one of these prints is if it is an original from Andy Warhol’s New ...
It may not be over yet, but the seven games the Hurricanes have left to play won’t be putting them in position to continue their season past April 27th- game 48. The hype surrounding this team before the season was warranted. They had acquired Jordan Staal from the Pittsburgh Penguins at the draft and gave ...
