3 takeaways from Leafs-Panthers: It’s not a matter of selling, it’s how aggressive the ensuing sale will be As the adage goes, a picture is worth a thousand words, but in this case, a video will suffice. Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube silently stormed to the dressing room after a listless first period against the Florida Panthers. Berube may as well served as the avatar for Leafs Nation, although the head…

Sleepless in Seattle: A listless performance vs. Kraken should accelerate Leafs’ attempt to rebuild If you didn’t stay up late to watch the Toronto Maple Leafs’ 5-2 loss to the Seattle Kraken, you made the correct choice. Don’t let the box score fool you, this was a listless performance by the Maple Leafs, defined by a complete lack of urgency. If they’re not checking the standings now, there may…

This game is for the fans <p>From our vantage point, the popular discourse surrounding Mitch Marner has been misapplied. It&#8217;s not a matter if Marner will be booed upon donning the Vegas Golden Knights jersey on Friday ag...

MLSE CEO Keith Pelley clearly understands the gravitas attached to the Toronto Maple Leafs. The boss is closely watching and while it’s incumbent upon the players to raise their games, the institutional weight of the next Leafs era lies squarely with Pelley. theleafsnation.com/news/institu...

I don’t use this platform often so I’m just logging back in to say that Shireen was far and away the most impactful sports journalist in Canada for the 2024 calendar year, she should win all the awards.

Leafs-Devils takeaways: Stolarz steals the win, Matthews delivers with massive OT goal In all fairness, the Toronto Maple Leafs had no business stealing a 2-1 overtime victory over the New Jersey Devils. Anthony Stolarz was downright phenomenal and was the primary reason why the Maple Leafs had a chance to win the game in overtime to begin…

Leafs-Lightning takeaways: Tanev’s best game of year, Woll remains on fire, Matthews’ sound return It was too close for comfort after a dominant 40 minutes, but the Toronto Maple Leafs closed out the Tampa Bay Lightning with a 5-3 victory. Toronto jumped to a 4-0 lead after two periods, as Matthew Knies, Chris Tanev, Nick Robertson and John Tavares…

Auston Matthews plans to return vs. Lightning after 9-game absence Toronto Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews will return for Saturday’s game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, after missing the team’s past nine games due to an upper-body injury.

Is Fraser Minten the best option for the Leafs at 3C right now? And if he is, how will the Leafs balance what’s best for the team today against what’s best for Minten long term?

Opening night prerequisite photo. I’ll have consistent coverage of the Maple Leafs/NHL this year for Yahoo Sports and will try to use this app more to post articles/notebooks.

I wasn’t planning on using this website seriously but with Twitter in shambles, I’ll likely use this app to post my work more often. Was going to shit post/pizza rankings/mundane observations about living in Toronto but I guess time to move forward.

All eyes are on Fraser Minten during tonight’s preseason game. Here’s what I’ve observed through Maple Leafs training camp:
- Knies looks awesome, Minten may get 9-game tryout
- Jake McCabe is the safety valve
- Noah Gregor is favourite for 13th forward spot
