Off-Topic: Favourite Christmas Song

It’s the day before Christmas and there is no Jays news to talk about. So I’m going to recycle a post. Let’s talk about our favourite Christmas songs.

The Maple Leafs at the Christmas Break: An Organization in Turmoil, the Matthews Mystery, and the Paths Forward Ahead of the Trade Deadline

Christmas time is here, although the mood is anything but merry right now for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Maple Leafs Still Looking to Add While Trading 2 Forwards

The Toronto Maple Leafs are not in a good place right now, and if things don't start to change for the better, there will be more changes, probably starting with the head coach and not just assistant coach Marc Savard. Toronto is one game over .500, sit second last in the Eastern Conference in a tight race where every team is at least .500, and are five points back of a playoff spot after their latest win. But the Maple Leafs have lost five of their past seven games and have been inconsistent ...

Insider Pitches Auston Matthews Trade To Western Conference Team

Auston Matthews trade talk is not a thing Toronto Maple Leafs fans ever wanted to take seriously, but the spiral has pushed it from internet noise into actual radio conversation.  On Sportsnet 590, Nick Kypreos flat out said it could be discussed as soon as this summer, and he tied it to one reality Toronto cannot ignore, the only way to truly change this era might involve touching the top of the roster.
