Toronto Maple Leafs fans are well accustomed to following the IIHF World Hockey Championship – that’s what happens when your team gets knocked out early as often as the Leafs do.
When starting to write this series I think there was either optimism or naivety involved. I didn’t account for how difficult it would be to come up with positive takeaways as the Leafs neared elimination, especially when there wasn’t a sense of urgency in the performance to get there.
With two weeks to go in the regular season, the Toronto Maple Leafs and Florida Panthers battled it out on the ice in Toronto for the third time this season and the first of two meetings in the next 16 days as both these teams get prepared for the playoffs, which could feature a rematch between the two Atlantic division rivals.
If you missed the game, you’re probably looking at the score and saying “We’re so back”. Then, you’d probably see that the Toronto Maple Leafs had a 5-1 lead over the Florida Panthers at one point in the game and say “It’s so over”.
Following a bounce-back win on Wednesday night in Washington, the Toronto Maple Leafs returned home to host the Edmonton Oilers on Hockey Night in Canada for the second and final time this season, with both sides looking to continue their winning ways in 2024.
Billed as a marquee matchup between two genuine Stanley Cup contenders, Saturday’s rendition of Hockey Night in Canada between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers featured the best and brightest the NHL has to offer.
Through the rigours of an 82-game schedule, opportunity presents itself in myriad, different ways in the National Hockey League. The story of the 2023-24
There is still a lot of hockey to play down the stretch. The Red Wings and Lightning now find themselves in a potential dogfight with the Flyers, the Islanders, and maybe even the Capitals when it comes to the wild card spots.
63 games into the season, the Toronto Maple Leafs are far from a finished product. GM Brad Treliving has done a reasonable job trying to set this team up for success, now it’s time to put the finishing touches on the roster before 3 pm est Friday.
Nick Robertson finds himself on the outside looking in at the Maple Leafs roster and soon, he could be on the outside looking in at the entire organization.
The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired a familiar face from the Anaheim Ducks as right-handed defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin will make his return to the blue and white.
So help us all if Brad Treliving tries to portray Joseph Woll and Calle Jarnkrok as his key trade deadline acquisitions. That’s not to say that their returns
Despite losing their best defenseman to suspension, the Toronto Maple Leafs went 5-0-0 in Morgan Rielly’s absence, and they welcomed him back into the lineup as they continued their four-game road trip into Vegas last night to take on the Golden Knights for the first time this season.
It’s been another weird week with the Leafs.
I’m not even sure if Calle Jarnkrok had hit the LTIR before he had lost his moniker to Pontus Holmberg. Holmberg seems to be the next in the line of “any line, any position” players that Sheldon Keefe relies on in order to keep the majority of his lineup card intact while working through injuries, slumps, and suspensions.
Although the Toronto Maple Leafs lost to the New York Islanders by a score of 4-3 in overtime, there was some good news from last night’s game. First, the team got a point in the standings.
It's been roughly six years since Pontus Holmberg last played on the wing but Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe was looking to utilize the forward.
I’m not sure that you can look at recalling Pontus Holmberg and saying the Leafs are close to fixing what ails them. That said, in my post earlier this morning, the exact move that the Leafs have made paves the way for what we can hope to see as far as lineup changes.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have swapped players with their AHL affiliate, the Toronto Marlies, recalling forward Pontus Holmberg and loaning out defenseman Maxime Lajoie, according to a team release.
Last week, before the Tampa Bay Lightning game, the Toronto Maple Leafs recalled Pontus Holmberg from their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Toronto Marlies.
Pontus Holmberg could be the first call-up from the Marlies to see an NHL game this season. Following Thursday night's game in Florida, Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe revealed that Tyler Bertuzzi was "playing less than 100 percent" right now.
The Marlies practiced on Wednesday with a few faces missing from the group. During Sunday's game against the Utica Comets, Roni Hirvonen took a stick to the face and went immediately to the Marlies dressing room.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed center Pontus Holmberg to a two-year contract with an $800K cap hit.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have a young player in their system who deserves consideration for a roster spot next season. That’s Pontus Holmberg. Over the past two seasons, Holmberg has showcased his skills with both the American Hockey League’s (AHL) Toronto Marlies and their parent club the Maple Leafs.
Pontus Holmberg has missed the past couple of games. This isn’t performance related, it’s just that he’s been sick. Now that he’s healthier he finds himself off to the Marlies: The first thing that needs to noted that Holmberg has seemingly established himself as an everyday bottom six player in the NHL.
