In honour of the return of Bryan McCabe , here's the list of my most-hated Toronto Maple Leafs of all-time (feel free to post yours below): 3. Larry Murphy No doubt a hall-of-fame defenceman. No doubt looked like he should have retired in 1997 after playing the worst hockey of his career. He then...

Steve Simmons has an interesting piece in the Toronto Sun this morning, as he tries to find out just what the hell happened to Chad Kilger (or Chad Kilgour, as Harry Neale used to say). The veteran winger was playing some of the best hockey of his career before being dealt from the Maple Leafs to the...

Will anyone be watching the Battle of Ontario tonight with Team Canada and Russia squaring off in a semi-final game at the WJHC? The odds of Ottawa winning this game are virtually nil. They come into this game having won their first road game in 13 tries. Somehow I can't picture them winning back...

The Toronto Maple Leafs are no longer overachieving. After months of showing glimpses of promise, they are no longer giving Leafs Nation hopes of making the playoffs. Are they "tanking it" on purpose? Probably not, but here are some reasons why you could speculate that they are: John Tavares...

1. Calgary (20-11-4) The red-hot Flames became the first member of the Six Pack to reach the 20-win mark this week. Not to mention, they have only lost one game in regulation in their last 10 outings. Don't worry Flames fans, this blogger is aware of your team's Northward move in the standings...

With the holidays just around the corner, I examine the Six Pack for the ninth time this season. While the Canucks find a 6-5 Swede under their tree, the Oilers and Sens continue to find coal in their stockings. Here is my latest take on Canada's six teams. 1. Montreal (18-9-5) The Habs capped off...

Mats Sundin is a member of the Vancouver Canucks . It's going to be really weird seeing him wear a different jersey. I just felt like he'd be a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs forever, but things change. However, I am glad that he chose the Canucks over the Rangers, and chose to remain in Canada...

After a two-week hiatus, the Six Pack Rankings are back for the eighth time this season. Have a look at where your team sits after a third of the NHL season has passed us by. Don't agree with me? As always, leave your comments, compliments, criticisms and insightful "feedback." Enjoy. 1...

I don't know if it's just me, but it just doesn't feel like a Saturday without a Toronto Maple Leafs game. I was shocked when I looked at the upcoming schedule earlier this week to see that the Leafs were playing on Friday night and not again until Tuesday. We've become so accustomed...

Sorry to just jumble a bunch of unrelated things into a post as though this were a Morning Link Dump, or... well... at least half of the post I write for this site, but to be honest, I've been busy all day trying to keep tabs on baseball's Winter Meetings over at Drunk Jays Fans , and the sweet...

Ron Wilson tried to send Tomas Kaberle a message. It looks like Kaberle didn't get it. After Kaberle's lacklustre play all season, Wilson benched him for the entire first period in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Phoenix Coyotes. Problem was, he was on the ice for all 4 goals against after returning...

1. Montreal (13-6-4) After being out of the top spot for one measly week, the Habs reclaim their rightful spot as the top team in Canada. They hit a bit of a bump in the road, and still aren't completely out of the woods, but a big win over the champs and a character win last night over Buffalo will...

Colby Armstrong strikes again... his latest victim is Jason Blake who took a high hit from Armstrong and suffered a concussion. Coach Ron Wilson called up tough guy Andre Deveaux from the Marlies to fill Blake's void in the lineup. I don't know much about Deveaux other than he has 57 pims in...

A couple things to discuss; Brian Burke and the All Star Ballot. First, everyone has heard the news by now that apparently Burke and MLSE have reached an agreement in principle that includes six seasons, $3 million U.S. per year, and full autonomy as general manager and president. In other words, the...

Leaf fans were forced to sit through Finger's Forgettable Five. Now Habs fans will hope they can quickly forget O'Byrne's Woeful One. Leading 3-2 at home late in the third period against the struggling New York Islanders on Monday night, the Montreal Canadiens were well on their way to securing...

The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired Lee Stempniak from the St. Louis Blues for Alex Steen and Carlo Colaiacovo today. I don't know about you, but it seems a little curious as to why Cliff Fletcher would make a trade when they are so close to having someone else, namely Brian Burke, take over the reigns...

The Leafs and Sens continue to occupy the Six Pack basement, while there is a shake-up at the top in the latest instalment of the Six Pack Rankings. 1. Vancouver (13-6-2) The Canucks reeled off three straight wins to finish the week, including two impressive performances over the Rangers and Penguins...

I am not sure that I've seen a worse game of hockey played than Jeff Finger 's masterpiece last night in the Leafs' 5-4 loss to the Blackhawks . Not only was he on the ice for all 5 goals against, but he was pretty much responsible for all 5. Judge for yourself: 1. He lets Patrick Sharp stand...

Whether it was his patented wrist shot, a punishing body check or a heavyweight fight, Wendel Clark has always been able to bring fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs to their feet. He may not have been one of the greatest players of all-time, but his heart and leadership made him one of, if not the most...

The Toronto Maple Leafs finished their unsuccessful road trip through western Canada with a loss to Kyle Wellwood and the Vancouver Canucks. They've struggled with inconsistent play recently and Vesa Toskala has been the biggest culprit. However, these concerns have been masked by the seemingly inevitable...
