Leafs/Bruins – 4-3 OT Win Live From ACC Press Row
KULEMIN with the game winner, and that’s all folks!!! Leafs win 4-3 in a thrilling overtime victory!

It feels like a spring day, almost like a playoff date.
This isn’t a playoff game by any stretch .. There are some interesting [...]
Luca Caputi – Tuesday Prospect Report
Everyone should know Bloge Salming and his extraordinary ability at visual arts.
His skits are over the top funny and when in collaboration with Down Goes Brown, the comedy has resonance beyond video.
They’re not only funny, but legendary. True comedic (and patriotic) genius.
I was proud to add a prospect scouting report to his creative visuals for [...]
Week 21 – Torontosaurus Rex
Before we get to the T-Rex, make sure to stop by Maple Leafs Hot Stove Tuesday night.
I will be live blogging the Leafs/Bruins game from the press box at the Air Canada Centre.
Stop by, bring the funny and join us for a good time. Boston will be without Marc Savard after the devastating headshot from [...]

Torontosaurus Rex is …
Pretty obvious choice this week, with two shutout wins making history after poured into Leafs silks.
J.S. Giguere stabilized the crease with immediate impact in a record setting arrival. The NHL draped him with second star of the week honours. He’s been rewarded and praised.
So, I’m going off the board.
RIP
Not only is it a life lost, so too are the future accomplishments.

Getting Out of Bottom Five = New Playoffs
Setting up a goal for the Leafs in lieu of a playoff spot, making up seven points to get out of the NHL basement is a good start .. but just how difficult will it be?
Let’s find out together.
Less Scoring? Play Better Defense
Where will goals come from? Toronto softened offensively with the moves on the weekend and questions abound about who will put the puck in the net moving forward.
Maybe it’s not about who will make up the scoring; instead, with all these moves – and proved in the 3-0 win over the Devils – in [...]
Kats Krunch: Phaneuf Regression In Context
In the end, perhaps the player to best describe the trades is … Wayne Primeau?
After all, the former Flame has been through this before.
