Leafs' McElhinney Has Found a Home

Leafs' McElhinney Has Found a Home

March 20th, 2018 After Curtis McElhinney's latest shutout, a 33-save whitewash of the lowly Montreal Canadiens on Saturday – his third in 16 games this season, and on St. Patrick's Day, no less – it seemed like the appropriate time to look back on the 34-year-old's journey to Toronto. Remember, this is someone who was claimed on waivers by the Buds...
Maple Leafs’ Top Playoff Performers

Maple Leafs’ Top Playoff Performers

March 13th, 2018 I’m bored. The Toronto Maple Leafs have been securely buckled into a playoff spot for what seems like forever. They’re probably not going to catch the Boston Bruins (seven points ahead), and definitely aren’t catching the Tampa Bay Lightning (13 points ahead). Likewise, they almost certainly won’t be caught by the Florida...
Maple Leafs HAD a Good Streak Going

Maple Leafs HAD a Good Streak Going

February 4th, 2018 Prior to last night's loss in Boston, the Toronto Maple Leafs played what was easily their most impressive stretch of this season – perhaps dating back to before the 2004-05 lockout. It wasn't so much that they put together a four-game win streak – they've had many of those since that time, especially the last two seasons – but...
Do the Maple Leafs Rely on Their Goaltenders?

Do the Maple Leafs Rely on Their Goaltenders?

December 31st, 2017 Hockey is the bitter old man of the sporting world, always pining for days gone by. One of the most pined-for eras is the 1980s, highly desirable on account of its high levels of scoring, legendary dynasties and obscene amount of generational talent. Never mind the goaltending, the Cooperalls and the fact there were only five or...
McElhinney Earning Keep With Leafs

McElhinney Earning Keep With Leafs

December 12th, 2017 When Curtis McElhinney was claimed off waivers by the Toronto Maple Leafs in January of last season, the consensus was it was a stop-gap move to give starter Frederik Andersen some much-needed relief while allowing the Leafs’ young goaltending talent to develop in the American Hockey League. However, when the veteran netminder was...
McElhinney Fighting for Job as Leafs Backup

McElhinney Fighting for Job as Leafs Backup

November 15th, 2017 Over the summer, there was concern over the Toronto Maple Leafs re-signing Curtis McElhinney as their backup goalie. He played half a season with the Leafs, with most of his play being mediocre and only the odd game where he was solid in net. The Leafs also had Garret Sparks playing amazing in the AHL with the Toronto Marlies, so it...
Who Will Backup Andersen Next Season?

Who Will Backup Andersen Next Season?

May 19th, 2017 After discussing the possible offseason changes to the Toronto Maple Leafs' defense, it only seems right to run through the rest of the team. Upgrading their defense is obviously a priority, but what about goaltending? Having depth is becoming more and more important in the NHL with how common injuries seem to be now. A team needs to be...
Maple Leafs Injury Update: Andersen Day-To-Day

Maple Leafs Injury Update: Andersen Day-To-Day

March 28th, 2017 Many teams in the NHL are entirely dependent on their goaltending. They live and die by their goalie, so to speak. A team could lose any one of its star players, but the worst thing that could happen would be to lose its starting goalie to injury. And on Saturday night against their rival Buffalo Sabres, the Toronto Maple Leafs lost...
