Despite peppering Antero Niittymaki with 41 shots the Leafs only managed one goal by way of the moustachulent Ian White and a healthy deflection. Jonas Gustavsson looked good...

Welcome to another installment of "Be a GM/Coach" where you faithful, huddled, unwashed masses, get to have your say. Sure, professional Coaches and GMs have a wealth of experience and education to draw upon. Of course they have contacts who know the ins and outs of the game. But you've got an armchair and some Cheetohs, and your buddy Steve down the street once knew a guy, who dated a gal...

They just may not be all that good either... Leafs247 has a few...

The Toronto Maple Leafs continue on their winless streak after losing yesterdays game to the Vancouver Canucks and setting the all time team mark for worst start in franchise history. Lets hope as fans that this is the only negative mark that we are part of this season but i wouldn't hold my breathe on this matter. The big question now is would the Maple Leafs be better off if they had kept Bryan McCabe...

from Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun, The angry glare in Luke Schenn’s eyes spoke volumes when a reporter brought up his third-period stint on the bench Saturday night. No, there wasn’t an injury behind the move and yes, he was humiliated about playing just three shifts in the Leafs’ seventh defeat (0-6-1). Welcome to Ron Wilson Roulette, where any Leaf might feel those splinters...

The Toronto Maple Leafs get a whole week off, so we know that when Saturday arrives we will still be sitting pretty in last spot. The Leafs are not as bad a team as it seems but far from how good we think they can be. The Maple Leafs fortunes could all come down to the back end, a back end that was suppose to be the teams strength and backbone and has been nothing but its achilles heel in the first...

from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun, What’s so wrong with Burke’s Leafs? A better question might be: What’s right with the Leafs? The answer: Next to nothing. Of all that is confounding, though, in this early season dive is the play of the Leafs defence. That was supposed to be the strength of the club. Francois Beauchemin, the veteran, at $4.2 million US a year. Tomas Kaberle,...

from Kevin McGran of the Toronto Star, The Flames, this year, will travel more than any other NHL team. The Flames will travel nearly 89,902 kilometres by plane according to a review of the league schedule conducted by the Star. That’s over 3,000 kilometres more than the Edmonton Oilers (86,772), and more than twice the travel load of the Buffalo Sabres (43,357), the team with the least travel,...

The Leafs have played two games this season and already fans are screaming about the teams goaltending. Vesa Toskala has looked average at best in four periods of play as the Leafs dropped both their games to start the season. Jonas Gustavsson didnt look out of place in his relief appearance and some might say looked better in the third period but lets not kid ourselves the Capitals took their foot...

from Mike Brophy of Sportsnet, In Toronto, where president and GM Brian Burke spent the summer overhauling his defence, his Maple Leafs lost twice and allowed 10 goals. His two prized pickups, Mike Komisarek and Francois Beauchemin, played poorly. Even worse for Leaf fans, returning goaltender Vesa Toskala struggled and some want to hang him from the CN Tower. Take a deep breath people, there’s...
