For a team that had suffered through so much misery and was headed to a shootout, which they rarely win, the Maple Leafs displayed a surprising sense of fun as the Zamboni scrapped the ice for the penalty shots.

Because of the vagaries of the NHL's OT/SO system, even though Montreal has played just as badly as Toronto, they're tied for eighth in the East with 23 points, while Toronto's in last place with 14 points. If you think there's something about the Canadiens that allowed them to go 8-1 in the extra frames while Toronto's obviously a 1-6 team, I'd love to hear it. Even allowing for Vesa Toskala's crappy...

from Darren Dreger of TSN, On July 1st, the Toronto Maple Leafs may have as many as 17 free agents to contend with, and 11 of those players will be unrestricted. For many teams this would be considered a horrendous challenge. The Leafs look at it as a great opportunity. The corps of the 11 unrestricted free agents includes Alexei Ponikarovsky, Lee Stempniak, Matt Stajan, Vesa Toskala, Garnet Exelby,...

Well, didn't they lay an egg? There is no explanation to do justice to losing to a team that had one win on its own ice in nine tries, whose wins coming into this game came against teams with a combined 22-28-12 record. But the Caps found a way to lose to such a team tonight, dropping a 2-1 Gimmick loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs in Toronto. It isn’t even as if Toronto played an especially inspired...

You probably won't notice any difference. The Senators haven't sold out tonight's game against the Leafs. It makes me wonder if fairweather Ottawa fans are staying away or if...

I try to track the player who is the worst player who is playing a regular shift in the NHL. It is interesting to see what kind of player will continue to be played despite playing poorly. Early in the season it is usually a better known player, who was expected to produce and is failing. Earlier this season I picked Vesa Toskala as the worst player in the league. At that point he had a horrid 5.56...

from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun via the Toronto Sun, You see, it was Burke who threatened the Bruins with a Group II offer sheet before making a deal for winger Phil Kessel in September. The Leafs could easily be sitting in the same position if they don’t get the 25-year-old Swede signed. Gustavsson, who is making $810,000 (all terms US) on a one-year deal this season, has emerged as the...
