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...

It's Friday, and Loser Domi has been cruising youTube , seeking the perfect tribute to Mr. Glass, Mike Van Ryn.

Boston was already without Lucic, Boston had already traded Kessel, Boston was already dealing with Tim Thomas playing like a backup goalie, and now they'll have to play without their best player, Marc Savard, for 4-6 weeks. I don't expect the bruins to rush out and make another deal (they've made two in the last few days), but if things continue to go wrong for them, they will seek out some help down...
We here at Pension Plan Puppets Amalgamated Industries and Pillow Fluffing Inc. LLC, take our jobs as Leaf fans seriously. So, when it occurred to the movers and shakers of PPPAI&PF Inc. LLC that there was no manual on how to be a Leaf fan, we tackled the project with gusto. After a nap, and six weeks in Acapulco. We just attacked it. After thorough analysis, in depth interviews with lifers, and...
Penguins -Chris Conner and Luca Caputi ( right ) each had a goal and an assist for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in a 6-3 road win against the rival Binghamton Senators .

Toskala being useless? Check. Aaron Voros landing on his face? Check. Mike Van Ryn playing? Che- wait a damn minute. Wouldja look at that? View full size photo uploaded October 15, 2009 via AM640's Greg Brady : One of [Van Ryn's] doctors believes he should have an osteotomy. It's what Yzerman had in '02. I immediately said "What's an osteotomy" and then waddled off to Wikipedia (in my mind...
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,...

I hate official team sites. Can you imagine a more biased source of news? I suppose a site like mapleleafs.com would be fine if you were just looking for a schedule or to purchase tickets, but if you're looking for team news and insight, the official site is the last place I go. On the web, I've witnessed the birth of the Barilkosphere the past few years. There's a solid collection of Maple Leaf blogs...
