We start in Tampa Bay, where a team with so much talent continues to struggle. Alex Tanguay, where are you? Several sources tell me that Vinny could be dealt sometime in the new year, though the trade deadline makes the most sense. The usual (Montreal, NYR) seem to the be teams most rumoured. The Blackhawks definitely do have interest in Toronto d-man Tomas Kaberle, and Toronto is listening. A package...
The Toronto Maple Leafs have had their share of goalkeepers over the history of the club and after TSN's Best Goalie Masks in the league contest, I decided that it would be a great idea to gather many of the Leafs Keepers better masks over the years and get them together to display.

FIRST STAR -- TOMAS KABERLE, D, TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS Kaberle led the NHL in scoring last week with 12 points (2 goals, 10 assists) in four road games, helping the Maple Leafs post a 1-0-3 record. Kaberle registered a career-high five points (one goal, four assists) in a 6-3 victory over the Anaheim Ducks Oct. 26, recorded two assists in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Dallas Stars Oct. 28 and earned one...

I normally don't recap Leafs games until the morning after, to gain a little perspective, but I need to write this recap tonight. I hate the Montreal Canadiens. I hate the franchise, but mostly I hate the fans. With the Habs leading 4-2 late in the third period, the fans started singing "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye". This wasn't the clinching game of a playoff series, this was a early...

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...

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) About three weeks after Tomas Kaberle expected it, the Toronto Maple Leafs finally got their first win of the season. Niklas Hagman scored three of Toronto's five power-play goals, and the Maple Leafs finally slowed the worst start in franchise history with a 6-3 victory over the last-place Anaheim Ducks on Monday night.
The Leafs win a game! The Leafs win a game! And of course, sleepy old man Mike fell asleep when it was 3-1 and missed the celebration. It's worth noting the only period of Leafs hockey I've missed this season is the third period of our only victory. Coincidence? Tomas Kaberle had five points, Lee Stempniak had four points, Matt Stajan had three points and Niklas Hagman scored three of our five power-play...
