Maple Leafs: Trade City + Rumours and Analysis

Maple Leafs: Trade City + Rumours and Analysis

February 24th, 2016 LEAFS DAILY The title of this column is becoming increasingly ironic as I struggle to meet the demands of writing and running a business, so my apologies for the infrequent posts recently. Our seven fans are probably pissed! Ever since high school when I would double back home after my parents went to work back on trade deadline...
Maple Leafs 7-2 Loss Better Than It Looks

Maple Leafs 7-2 Loss Better Than It Looks

February 16th, 2016 LEAFS DAILY Not only did the Toronto Maple Leafs lose last night and gain valuable points in the reverse standings, they did so in spectacular fashion, losing 7-2 to the Chicago Blackhawks. Now, when you lose by five, it might seem like a stretch to find any positives, but the Maple Leafs played a much better game than the score would...
Stupidest Idea Ever: Naming Morgan Rielly Captain of the Leafs

Stupidest Idea Ever: Naming Morgan Rielly Captain of the Leafs

February 11th, 2016 LEAFS DAILY What if I told you the Leafs had a player playing way over his head and being given responsibilities he isn't equipped to handle? You'd say: But Jim, we just traded Dion Phaneuf! But I would actually be talking about Morgan Rielly. Given top-pairing minutes this season -- paired with Matt Hunwick, the duo has played the...
Dion Phaneuf Trade End of a (Disappointing) Era

Dion Phaneuf Trade End of a (Disappointing) Era

February 10th, 2016 LEAFS DAILY Dion Phaneuf is one of, if not the most, unfairly maligned player in Leafs history. Though Leafs fans gave him a hard time and blamed him for being the best defensemen on a horribly constructed and coached team, he is and was one of my favorite Leafs of all-time. It isn't his fault he was never used properly. Phaneuf's...
Has There Ever Been a Maple Leafs Season This Boring?

Has There Ever Been a Maple Leafs Season This Boring?

February 8th, 2016 LEAFS DAILY Well, another week closer to the trade deadline. That's about all you can say for the last week of the Leafs season. They won two games during the week and then were blown out Saturday by the Senators. But who cares? It's hard to get up for losses and even harder to get up for wins that only hurt the...
If the Montreal Canadiens Had Any Guts...

If the Montreal Canadiens Had Any Guts...

February 7th, 2016 The Montreal Canadiens are having a terrible year. By now you know the story well: They started with a huge winning streak, all-world goalie Carey Price gets injured and then they go through two months where they are barely able to scratch out one win out of every five games. There is no main reason for this miserable run. Part...
Leafs Daily: Kevin Shattenkirk and Draft Watch

Leafs Daily: Kevin Shattenkirk and Draft Watch

February 5th, 2016 LEAFS DAILY: The Leafs beat the Bruins in overtime Tuesday becoming the last team in the NHL this year to beat a team in their own division. They still haven't done it in regulation but, that's just part of a solid rebuilding strategy! The Leafs played the Devils last night, and they eked out a shootout win after a very late goal by...
The Maple Leafs Trade Deadline Plan

The Maple Leafs Trade Deadline Plan

February 2nd, 2016 LEAFS DAILY The Toronto Maple Leafs begin what is ostensibly the second half of the season tonight in Boston. Considering the kind of run the Leafs would have to go on in order to make the playoffs, the best outcome the Leafs can have in this game is an entertaining loss. I feel like if Mike Babcock read that last sentence, he'd be...
