With just five seconds remaining in the first period against Czechia, the budding superstar from San Jose Sharks Macklin Celebrini potted […]

Despite being the most high profile member of the Flyers to get the call to the Milano-Cortina games, Travis Sanheim will have to wait at least one more game to make his Olympic debut.
On the day that Sanheim’s Canadian team was due to take on Dan Vladar’s Czechia, he skated with the other scratches, indicating that he wouldn’t take part in Canada’s opening Round Robin contest.

The Edmonton Oilers are one of the teams linked to Bobby McMann of the Toronto Maple Leafs and that's a move that makes a lot of sense considering he's a pending UFA and Toronto is sitting six points out of a playoff spot. But there appears to be another that the Oilers may have interest in as well. David Pagnotta said, "The Leafs aren't trading (Ekman-Larsson) for Mangiapane and a pick. So, sorry, that's not going to happen. You're probably looking at something like an Isaac Howard in a deal ...

The NHL's trade deadline is set for March 6, and once the Olympic roster freeze is over in less than two weeks, don't be surprised to see the Edmonton Oilers and Toronto Maple Leafs complete a trade together. Multiple reports have surfaced recently stating the Oilers and Maple Leafs are active in trade discussions, and have discussed multiple different scenarios. Their talks include one of Bobby McMann, Nic Roy, Oliver Ekman-Larsson or Scott Laughton heading to Edmonton. The Oilers are in the ...

The Toronto Maple Leafs are going to have an interesting week and a bit coming out of the Olympic break as they sit six points back of a playoff spot and have decisions to make about their roster for this season and in preparation of the future. This is seen as a transition year, the first without Mitch Marner, and attempting to build a more rounded team with the money. That hasn't really worked out, but they are still in the race if they have a strong finish to the season. According to Pierre...

The Toronto Maple Leafs might not be making many big moves this trade deadline, but Nick Kypreos ignited some serious speculation about a move they might make this offseason. On air recently, Kypreos said the Leafs should move Morgan Rielly out, then bring Toronto native Darren Raddysh home in free agency. The most interesting bit of the hypothetical was that he did not present it as a maybe. He said it was already a 'done deal'. Kypreos on Real Kyper & Bourne: "What will happen is that ...

The Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers don't often trade, but former Maple Leafs generally find themselves in Edmonton sooner or later. A lot have passed through over the last decade and some are still there thriving like Zach Hyman. The West and the East are so different this season that the Oilers are second in their division with 64 points in 58 games and the Maple Leafs have 63 points in 57 games, but Toronto is six points out of a playoff spot. While they have had similar seasons, th...

Despite the Toronto Maple Leafs winning three games in a row heading into the Olympic break, they still sit six points back of a playoff spot and it isn't an easy hill to climb with four teams in their way and only 25 games remaining. There isn't a ton of time or games before the trade deadline once the freeze is lifted, so some decisions will have to be made in the short term coming out of the break. Toronto has three goalies and only needs two for next season. If they don't go into the seaso...

The Phantoms hit the road for a quick trip up to Bridgeport this evening, for the final game of the weekend and their final game before the break. They were looking to close this one out on a high note, and prevent the Islanders from gaining any more ground on them in the standings, but between a stilted offensive effort and a bit of shaky goaltending, they struggled to get themselves off the ground, and instead came away with another quite lopsided loss.

The Bobby McMann market is only expected to get louder, and the Colorado Avalanche are starting to feel like a legitimate landing spot if a trade actually happens. With the Toronto Maple Leafs flirting with sell mode and reportedly asking for a first-round pick, McMann has turned into a deadline winger that contenders love to add in March. He has 19 goals and 13 assists in 56 games this season, he's a proven 20-goal scorer, and his $1.35 million cap hit makes him one of the easiest plugs...

This weekend marks the 50th anniversary of Darryl Sittler’s legendary 10-point game. On February 7, 1976, Sittler scored six times and added four assists to power the Leafs to a win over the Bruins. With the feat coming on a nationally televised Hockey Night in Canada game, the record became a defining moment of 1970s hockey. The record still stands to this day. Sittler’s record was recognized by the Maple Leafs during a ceremony last week, in the last home game before the anniversary. We dug ...
