7 Biggest NHL Players in Today's Game

7 Biggest NHL Players in Today's Game

September 4th, 2020 In today’s NHL, speed dominates. No longer can teams roster slow, hulking defensemen capable of obstructing opponents into submission. But, if a player has speed and size, they can be lethal. According to Hockey-Graphs, the average NHLer stands six-foot-one and weighs 201 pounds (as of the 2014-15 season). When compared to the...

June 15th, 2020 In today's NHL rumors, there is more news as it pertains to a possible return of Jesse Puljujarvi to the Edmonton Oilers. Plus, will the team sign Mike Green for another season?

Stars' Polak Has Sternum Fracture After Going into Boards

October 4th, 2019 DALLAS — Stars defenceman Roman Polak has a small fracture in his sternum and will be re-evaluated next week. Dallas didn't offer a timetable in the update on Polak on Friday. In the second period of Thursday's season-opening loss to Boston at home, Po...
Roman Polak’s Future with the Stars

Roman Polak’s Future with the Stars

June 5th, 2019 It was only a year ago that Roman Polak received a nomination for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy after recovering from a broken leg to have one of the stronger seasons in his career. However, after carrying that momentum through his debut season with the Dallas Stars, Polak’s future is once again in question. There is no denying...
Carrick or Polak More Deserving of Playoff Ice Time?

Carrick or Polak More Deserving of Playoff Ice Time?

March 20th, 2018 It's no secret the Toronto Maple Leafs have a weak right side of their defence core. This has been the case for a while but because no moves were made in the offseason or at the deadline, we're stuck with four right defenders who would probably all be on the third pairing on most good hockey teams. With Hainsey jumping into a top-four...
Babcock's Favouritism Doing Maple Leafs No Favours

Babcock's Favouritism Doing Maple Leafs No Favours

February 14th, 2018 With 24 games to go in the 2017-18 National Hockey League season, the Toronto Maple Leafs are 18 points clear of the Detroit Red Wings, the team closest to knocking them out of the playoff race. So, yeah, we’ll be seeing the Leafs in the postseason come spring. However, despite the sizeable cushion, there are causes for concern with...
Breaking Down Leafs' Logjam on Defence

Breaking Down Leafs' Logjam on Defence

February 9th, 2018 For the first time in a while, it seems like the Toronto Maple Leafs have too many defencemen. Not necessarily too many distinguished, All-Star defencemen, but too many defencemen who are worthy of a roster spot. Add on that the trade deadline is quickly approaching and it makes for a very interesting situation on the Leafs' back end....
Maple Leafs Travis Dermott Is Here to Stay

Maple Leafs Travis Dermott Is Here to Stay

January 10th, 2018 For the past few years, the Toronto Maple Leafs' stance on prospects has been to take their time with developing players so that they aren't rushed into the NHL before being ready. The Leafs have been taking their time with developing Travis Dermott so that when he does enter the NHL, he's prepared for the demands of an NHL defenseman...
Connor Carrick: Falling Down the Depth Chart

Connor Carrick: Falling Down the Depth Chart

December 13th, 2017 Under coach Mike Babcock, the Toronto Maple Leafs seem to always have a player that is benched for most of the season despite stats and analytics saying that the Leafs would be better with them in the lineup. Babcock likes to have an extra forward and defenseman on hand in case of injuries, which has, at times, drawn the anger of...
Maple Leafs News: Roster Changes, Brown Seizing Opportunity

Maple Leafs News: Roster Changes, Brown Seizing Opportunity

October 25th, 2017 The Toronto Maple Leafs were at it again Monday evening with a game against the last team left without a regulation loss in the NHL, the Los Angeles Kings. Although the win resulting from the game is important, I will focus my attention on the roster changes that were made before the game, their impact, and how forward Connor Brown is...

Should the Maple Leafs Bring Back Roman Polak?

September 4th, 2017 It's almost time for the NHL season to begin. The Toronto Maple Leafs are looking to take the next step in their development after an impressive year that saw them sneak into the playoffs and take the Washington Capitals to six games. They got huge years out of many of their rookies, chief among them being Auston Matthews, Mitch...
Offseason Changes to Leafs Defense

Offseason Changes to Leafs Defense

May 11th, 2017 With the season over for the Toronto Maple Leafs, attention turns to the offseason and the expected changes to the Leafs blue line. The Leafs defense has been the talk of the season. Most of it has been focused on how it needs to be improved going into next season. Now it's easy to say that the Leafs need to bolster their defense, but...
Leafs Need Better Defense Via Free Agency

Leafs Need Better Defense Via Free Agency

May 3rd, 2017 As the Toronto Maple Leafs' season came to an end, there is a unanimous sense of optimism surrounding this team moving forward. They pushed the Washington Capitals to six games, five of which were decided in overtime. Statistically, this series was the closest of the first round. Heading into the last game, the shots were tied at 175...
What Lies Ahead for the Maple Leafs?

What Lies Ahead for the Maple Leafs?

April 25th, 2017 The Toronto Maple Leafs have been eliminated from the playoffs, and you know what, that's okay. While the elimination of the Chicago Blackhawks has some asking whether it's the beginning of the end for them, it's the opposite for the Maple Leafs. This is only the end of the beginning for them. The 2016-17 season will go down as a...
