Maple Leafs' Wayne Simmonds Sparks Team

January 14th, 2021 There was a moment (or two) during the Toronto Maple Leafs' season opener that I wondered if I would have to write the sober second thoughts piece.

Maple Leafs Made a Mistake Signing Simmonds Over Perry

December 28th, 2020 The Toronto Maple Leafs had one clear goal this offseason: to get bigger, meaner, and tougher to play against.

Maple Leafs Loss to Blue Jackets Was For the Best

November 16th, 2020 It was an embarrassing loss. The Toronto Maple Leafs had the opportunity in front of them. They got to play in their home rink. They made an incredible comeback in Game 4 to force a deciding Game 5. But then thud. The Columbus Blue Jackets came back and shut the Maple Leafs out to end their season. Once again, all that top-end...

Maple Leafs Spent Less to Gain More in Free Agency

October 27th, 2020 Following another failed campaign from his Toronto Maple Leafs, general manager Kyle Dubas has been active this offseason. His philosophy hasn't proven ineffective just yet, though, as he's only entering his third year at the helm.

The Gordie Howe Hat Trick

October 23rd, 2020 From the Ted Lindsay Award to the James Norris Trophy, hockey (and sports) have a history of naming things after former players, coaches and integral people.
