The first masked man between the pipes was actually a woman who played for Queens University in Kingston Ontario Canada in 1927. Her name was Elizabeth Graham and she wore a fencing mask when she took to the ice reportedly because her father had invested a lot of money to give her a nice set of teeth and wasnÆt about to let them be knocked out during a hockey game. Clint ...

The buzz in the ACC on Monday night ahead of the game with the Sabres, a team which has somewhat owned Toronto recently, was one of optimism and anxiety after "the Monster" had shut out the hated division rival Boston Bruins Saturday. Buffalo scored the first goal of the game and a unanimous groan from the audience blanketed the arena, followed by the rumblings of how this had happened way too ...

By Louis “King of Roncesvalles” Pisano The Toronto Maple Leafs have now risen from the smouldering ashes that it seemed their franchise had become and are now beginning to soar as the fiery Phoenix of myth and legend. After a horrid start in their first 12 games and before getting their offseason acquisition in to the line up, young sniper Phil Kessel, the Leafs had an abysmal record of one win seven ...

By Louis “King of Roncesvalles” Pisano Jimmy Hayes is a 6’5” 210 pound power forward who was drafted late in the second round and 60th overall in the 2008 NHL entry draft. He is yet another player in the Leafs organization coming out of the US college hockey program, hailing from Boston, MA, currently playing for the Boston College Eagles. He sits sixth on Toronto’s top prospect depth chart, just under Victor Stalberg ...

After a convincing 6-3 win for Toronto in Columbus with third string goalie Joey MacDonald between the pipes, the Leafs are on a roll. They have won four of their last five all on the road and have points in seven of their last eight games. This is certainly what Leafs Nation was expecting more of with the retooling by their GM Brian Burke in the offseason. Boston lost a surprisingly ...

By Louis ôKing of Roncesvallesö Pisano Jonas Gustavsson will undergo another surgery to correct a problem with his heart and will missáup toáthree weeks. Stand tall, Jonas Leafs Nation is behind you! Another blow to TorontoÆs goaltending situation, which, as Leafs Nation saw early this season, was tough on their team. With Toskala out with a groin strain and now Gustavsson out with what we all hope will be an easy procedure to fix ...

By Louis “King of Roncesvalles” Pisano One of the big off-season signings by the Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke was that of defenseman Mike Komisarek. As any fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs will tell you, he hasn’t been the pillar of strength on the blue line the Leafs had hoped he would be, at least so far. He's been out of the line up and missed eight games from November ...

Toronto is looking to continue their streak of points in five straight games, including two wins in a row, as they return victorious from a sweep in the state of Florida to face the Buffalo Sabres. No, that isn’t a typo—points in five straight games and two wins in a row. With the influx of some inexperience has come something the Leafs have missed this season—winning. While having the combination of "The Monster" ...

  As all Leafs Nation saw their team fall behind early against the Panthers, yet again giving up the first goal of the game, they also saw their team fight back to get the sweep in the state of Florida. Jonas Gustavsson, the Monster, is definitely giving Toronto fans the hope of having solid goal tending for years to come if he can be resigned by Brian Burke, as he is only ...
