(You know, having today's Leaf of the Day mostly completed yesterday meant that I could post much earlier today. There's a lesson in there somewhere, I'm just not sure what it is....) Last season, Ian White was having a terrible time getting himself back into the lineup. Wanting to play, he jumped at the opportunity to try his hand at forward and he was surprisingly effective at it. He has since become...

More photos » by NATHAN DENETTE - AP O HAI MONSTER. What a shock that the team looks more confident, composed, and is more successful with a good goalie. Who was it that said that would happen? Browse more photos » and the defence clears the rebounds. That's how things worked tonight as the Toronto Maple Leafs stretched their point streak to 8 games and their winning streak to two games...

More photos » by Frank Gunn - AP Browse more photos » To paraphrase Jerry Seinfeld: what's the deal with Jeff Finger ? He's been a healthy scratch six games in a row and in those six games the Leafs defense has started to gel. There's a lot of Garnet Exelby hate around these parts but lately our defense has been rock solid. Compared to Finger, Exelby's salary is a lot lower. I think Finger's...

Browse more photos » The Toronto Maple Leafs fell, once again, in overtime to the Tampa Bay Lightning . 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...

It could be worse. [Checks standings.] Wait, I was wrong. OK, so maybe October didn't go quite as well as it could have. But that's fine, because now it's November (when it matters). And while some might point out that the Leafs have already fallen so far behind a playoff pace that the rest of the season if essentially futile, I remain optimistic. Because the Leafs still have Ron Wilson, and Ron Wilson...

The Leafs take on the Anaheim (Mighty) Ducks and sure there is a game to be had but I will be more concerned with the Face Accessory Battle that is Ian White versus George Parros . TEAM WHITE. This is your period one game thread. Please keep discussion topical, use language accordingly, keep it cute or put it on mute and do those SPG picks . Feel free to spam the comments with glorious mustaches until...

I'm glad we got to talk a little bit about old-timers yesterday because it gives me an excuse to have Leo Boivin as the LotD. Leo is in the Hall of Fame mainly (well, entirely) for his work as a Bruin, so he's not really a good luck charm for Bruin games. Leo Boivin is a Hall of Fame defenseman. He broke into the league in 1952 and established himself as a very heavy hitter who was also an excellent...

Ian White has been the Maple Leafs' best defenceman, arguably Toronto's best player, through the team's horrible start.

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...

White Not Practicing With Team Ian White not practicing today. Could this be related to him taking a puck to the face or is there something in the works? He probably just has a moustache injury. Jonas Gustavsson and Vesa Toskala skated with the Leafs' strength coach today, Gustavsson wore pads, Toskala didn't.

John Tortorella was trying to get a message out when he spoke up after the game that teams are being allowed some liberties with Henrik Lundqvist, and it strikes me that the man has a point. There are only so many times you can see your goaltender lying on his back inside his own net with a Leaf or a King on top of him before you wonder what the deal is - and what you have to do to put it to the curb....

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,...
