Tomas Kaberle has never been one to complain during his career in Toronto. He's been here through the bad times, and the really bad times, and has simply stuck to his game. He has been rumored in dozens of trades over the past three seasons, criticized for his lack of physicality, and constantly heckled for not shooting the puck enough. Fans cried for him to be shipped out of town for the ...

It's been a scary beginning of the season for the Toronto Maple Leafs to say the least. Their record is something out of a nightmare. They now have a monster in the crease, and plenty of people in the Air Canada Center have been saying "boo." Yes, it's beginning to feel a lot like Halloween in Leaf Nation. Dressing up for this sacred holiday is always great fun, and sometimes a costume ...

If I were to ask who needed to step up their game to get the Toronto Maple Leafs out of this terrible slump, the answer might be laughable. You could say that so far, every single member of the team has played far below their potential. You certainly could make a case. But things haven't exactly been as bad as it would seem for every member of the team. Don't get me ...

Think what you want about fights in the NHL, when two players drop the gloves and let the fists fly, no one in the stands stays seated for very long. A fight can gain momentum for your team or be the final blow in a game, either way they get people excited. Most of the time it's the team's two tough guys that go toe-to-toe in a good old fashioned ...

For most teams in the NHL, there really is no place like home. Playing a string of games on home ice not only means you get the advantage of having a crowd behind your back, but you also get to sleep in your own bed at night instead of fighting for the remote with your roommate on the road. Playing at home is supposed to be good for a team, ...

Unlike anyáfans in the NHL, those of the Toronto Maple Leafs have found themselves hoping for a lot of things since the last Stanley Cup victory in 1967. Hope is a word that is used at the beginning of every season, the signing of a new player, and especially at the draft, when a young prospect dons the blue and white, and is suddenly thrown into the spotlight of a hopefulácity. The ...

It's a feat that has only beenáaccomplished eight times in NHL history, by five different players, but Capital's winger Alexander Ovechkin finds himself on pace to be the next member in the illustrious "50 in 50" club. Yes, something we thought we may never see again might be unfolding right in front of our eyes this season. 'The Great Eight' has five goals in his first three games, and by the looks ...

With the third game of the season done, and lost, the Toronto Maple Leafs seem to have a rather large goalie controversy on their hands. At least the fans and media seem to think so. Coach Ron Wilson, as always, is staying straight-faced and steady when bombarded with questions as to which goalie, Jonas Gustavsson or Vesa Toskala, he trusts more with the starting job. He gave the start to Gustavsson, his ...

Ah fall, a time when leaves change color, the air turns crisp, and fantasy pool fanatics sweat overáwhether they should takeáCrosby, Ovechkin or Malkin first overall. Yes, a new season is upon us, and once again we find ourselves bombarded with overwhelming statistics and predictions from the experts telling us exactly what to expect in the upcoming season, as is the norm every year. And yet, there comes a time when ...
