Maple Leafs And Bruins From A to Z
Just some quick thoughts after the Maple Leafs’ 4-3 overtime win over the Bruins:
Assist for Phil Kessel is his first point in 5 games against his old team
Bozak continues to progress
Carl Gunnarsson had another solid game with a goal and a +3 rating
What’s Next For The Toronto Maple Leafs?
In the wake of Sunday’s blockbuster trades, one cannot help but wonder what’s next for the Toronto Maple Leafs? Who’s next to go? Who stays?
In any case, I think that it’s pretty safe to say that this season is a write-off. We’re not making any moves to make a run at the playoffs this season. [...]

Recap: Maple Leafs Undisciplined In OT Loss To Lightning
The Toronto Maple Leafs just can’t seem to do anything right. The Maple Leafs surrendered another lead in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Maple Leafs fell to 1-10 in games decided beyond regulation and more specifically, 0-8 in overtime.

Same Old Story: Maple Leafs Lose To Hurricanes

Kudos To CuJo: Former Maple Leafs Goalie Curtis Joseph Retires
Former Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Curtis Joseph announced his retirement today. He was perhaps the single-biggest piece of the Leafs’ two runs to the Eastern Conference Finals in 1999 and 2002. Joseph retires as the fourth-winningest goalie in NHL history with 454 victories.
Ron Wilson’s Rant
Don’t get me wrong here, I have no problem with Ron Wilson being critical of his players at yesterday’s practice. They know that they have to compete their absolute hardest in order to win, and yet, they don’t show up half of the time.

Lineup Notes: Stalberg, Schenn In

The Maple Leafs have recalled Viktor Stalberg from the Marlies and are sending down Joey MacDonald, as Jonas Gustavsson is ready to back up Vesa Toskala Friday night in Buffalo.
Probably a good idea to start Vesa on Friday. Give Jonas an extra night off (hopefully, anyway) and keep Toskala away from the [...]
