After Monday’s practice, Craig Berube discussed Nylander’s apology for yesterday’s incident, Jacob Quillan’s limited action against Colorado, and the message to the team amid the recent struggles. William Nylander apologized for what happened on camera yesterday and mentioned he was frustrated. How does the organization deal with him on the issue? Berube: He made a […]

A few weeks ago, we wrote that the Maple Leafs’ two-plus week stretch — featuring a gruelling four-game road trip, followed by a difficult five-game homestand — would likely decide their fate for the 2025-26 season. Unfortunately for the Leafs, it’s not been a positive outcome. Following an admirable enough 2-1-1 road trip, the Leafs […]

After Monday’s practice, William Nylander discussed his on-camera incident from the press box on Sunday and his progress toward a return from injury. Nylander: First off, I want to apologize for my actions yesterday. I acted out of frustration, so I am sorry about that. Leafs players in the press box realized they were on […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs are in a transition year after losing Mitch Marner and bringing in a few new players as tests to try to make up for it. The defense has been banged up, goaltending has been a rotating door due to injury as well, and more moves are going to be made for the team that is five points back of a playoff spot. While some players are playing their final season with the Maple Leafs, others will be sticking around due to their elevated play this season. Bobby McMann could very we...
With the way Connor McDavid’s teammates are playing — Zach Hyman, who’s been sizzling for the Edmonton Oilers for almost two months and connected with McDavid for the game-tying goal against the Washington Capitals, and Evan Bouchard, who recorded a six-point night against them — the topic on everyone’s mind just got even bigger: leaving…
The Boston Bruins have been playing very well as of late and are holding down a wildcard spot in the East. They have a better chance than many in the tight playoff race to make the postseason, but they are trying to add to get back in after a tough 2024-25 season. The Bruins may have been the final team taken out of the bid for Rasmus Andersson when he went to the Vegas Golden Knights , which shows that Boston is trying to make additions, whether that be a rental, players with term, or rental ...
The eyes of the hockey world were on Toronto this weekend. That’s not unusual, because it's the home of the league’s most important team and whenever they’re not on screen, all the other teams should be asking “Where are the Maple Leafs?” But this time, there were a few specific reasons. The first was Mitch Marner, finally returning to Toronto for the first time since his summer departure to Last Vegas. On Sunday, it was a rare afternoon game, this one featuring a visit from the league’s...
Toronto got hit with a 4-1 loss, followed by about 41 cm of snow
With Alexander Zharovsky’s rise in the KHL, I reached out to an old friend and colleague, Ivan Letyagin, to get his input on the Montreal Canadiens prospect’s situation.
“Zharovsky is a very talented player, playing now in my homeland city in Ufa,” Letyagin begins. “His talent and potential are so huge that I would say that there have not been any such hockey players in Russia for a long time.”
There is a slight pause before Letyagin moves on to try to compare him to other top talent...
Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 4-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche, which dropped the Maple Leafs’ record to 24-19-9. On his takeaways from the loss: I thought we came out and were fine. We made two puck-play mistakes, and it was in our net. Execution was the cause of a couple of […]

Brock Nelson wasted no time showing why the Avalanche went out and paid him. The veteran center torched the Maple Leafs for a hat trick as Colorado kicked off its three-game road trip with a convincing 4–1 win Sunday afternoon at Scotiabank Arena. Nelson scored twice early and added an empty-netter late to finish with his 26th and 27th […]

Today the Colorado Avalanche depart the friendly confines of home and embark on a four-game Canadian road trip during the coldest part of the year — pack your mittens. A change of scenery is welcome, however, as the Avalanche weren’t as successful as they’d hoped to be in a just concluded seven-game home stand where […]

Martin Nečas was the choice for Czechia and he opened his doors to show what life is like at home with girlfriend and adorable puppy, including thoughts on the trade and upcoming excitement in anticipation of representing […]
Things continue not to be great for the Toronto Maple Leafs on defense as Chris Tanev should miss the remainder of the regular season at least and there were recent injury scares for Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Brandon Carlo. The defense has to be upgraded, especially since there isn't a high chance the top-6 right now will even stay healthy for the rest of the season and into playoffs when games get rougher. A right-shot defenseman who has offensive capabilities, defensive capabilities, or both ...
Mitch Marner had this game circled on his calendar ever since the 2025-26 NHL schedule came out, and from all accounts, he's relieved it's finally past him. Marner and the Vegas Golden Knights made their way to Toronto to faceoff against the Maple Leafs, in what was Marner's first time back to the city since being traded last summer. It was a messy divorce with a ton of emotions involved, and you could tell from warmup, the crowd at Scotiabank Arena was going to be all over him. Prior to warmu...
