By Greg Wyshynski It's a little surprising there isn't more outrage on the Interwebs over the no-goal call during the Toronto Maple Leafs' 3-2 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks last night. Maybe we've all accepted that inconclusive is inconclusive; maybe Leafs fans have already used up all of their indignat...

By Jon Neely His 17 points (2 G, 15 A) not only leads the Leafs in points, but puts him on top of the list of defenseman scoring. The next closest player to him is San Jose's Dan Boyle, who has 13 points, but has played 15 games; three more than Kaberle. Now more than ever, Kaberle deserves to be the captain.

By Derek Harmsworth The Toronto Maple Leafs are beginning to look a lot like Charlie Brown. His name is Tomas Kaberle. Jonas Gustavsson watched practice from the bench, and while Ron Wilson has been quiet on tonight’s starter, though it looks like Toskala will get the start.

By Jon Neely Vesa Toskala There you have it, a night filled with ghouls, ghosts, and awkward karaoke moments for the Toronto Maple Leafs. From the costumes alone, it sounds like it’s going to be a rocking good time this Halloween after the Leafs take on the Montreal Canadiens Saturday night.

By Jon Neely With a coach and GM who are never afraid of sitting players, or sending them down, Mitchell better be careful that his two-way contract isn't exercised. He may find himself with the Toronto Marlies of the AHL. Coming over from the hated Montreal Canadiens in the offseason, Mike Komisarek wa...

By James Blackmore The retooled Maple Leafs are going to have to compete with the completely rebuilt Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals.  Those teams took the long hard road necessary to stockpile the kind of elite talent that they need to compete for the Cup for a generation to come.

By smcindoe@gmail.com (Down Goes Brown) But have a look at group three for the forwards -- you're telling me that only two of Sundin, Andreychuk and Borschevsky can be part of the Leafs all 90s teams? Really? Wayne Primeau as Wendel Clark? Ugh. They should have just had the real Wendel Clark take the skate. And then stay on the ice and p...

By smcindoe@gmail.com (Down Goes Brown) News is breaking tonight that the Leafs have acquired Phil Kessel from the Bruins and signed him to a 5-year, $27M deal. The trade will apparently cost the Leafs two first round picks and a second rounder. Pessimism: If the Maple Leafs draft them? None.

By TOsports.ca In Carcillo, the Flyers get a player who is capable of netting 20 goals in a future season and a guy who can straight up fight and hit, both of which are very valuable in the tough Eastern Conference. The two additions by the New York Rangers also caught my eye.

By MR CONTROVERSY In a disappointing shoot out lose against the Toronto Maple Leafs last night. The New York Rangers looked extremely good till the third period. Where it seemed, they ran out of steam. The Rangers did how ever leave Toronto with more then just one point. They nabbed Mark Bell off the Leafs waiver...

By Roy Steeves Wilson has coached the Leafs to a record of 11-12-6, which is one game ahead of the Eastern Conference perennial powerhouse Ottawa Senators.  THat isn’t too bad for a team predicted to be last in the league this season.

By Tyler Hill Now, before I even begin this article, I am in no way saying any of the following: Vesa Toskala is no longer a good goalie, Vesa Toskala should be blamed for where the Leafs sit right now and most of all, there is now way I am going to say that the Leafs should trade Vesa while they can.

By Lukas With the Maple Leafs trading Steen and Colaiacovo to the Blues today, a lot of people have been asking, and answering this question: Was Alex Steen treated well and given a fair chance while in Toronto?  So I don't understand why people keep saying that the Maple Leafs never gave Steen a fai...

The Rest of the Good - I'd like to see more of Ian White as a forward, The Finger looked solid in the one game I saw him play, the defence as a whole shouldn't be any worse than it was the past few seasons and I'm digging what Ron Wilson is saying. Oh yeah, and Tosky might be Turk Broda.
