Toronto Marlies stay focused during fire alarm delays, record much-needed home win against Cleveland

“He’s stepped up, for sure. We needed him [to be good], and he had a great performance again.” – Cedric Paré on Vyacheslav Peksa “We didn’t come out with much energy. We were kind of flat, for whatever reason. I thought we played 40 really good minutes, for the most part.

The Blackhawks Week That Was and Will Be, 12/17: Shifting tides

That was a bad loss. Sometimes the simplest answer is the most correct one, and that seems to apply to whatever the hell it was that transpired in Toronto on Tuesday night, as the Blackhawks turned a 2-0 lead into a 3-2 loss to a Maple Leafs team that seemed ready for an implosion at the end of 40 minutes. It’s a bad loss, and the hours following it have found me in desparate attempts to avoid what’s probably my biggest pet peeve with sports media in 2025, which is how short-sighted ...

Insider: Rasmus Andersson Would Sign Long-Term with Maple Leafs

The seismic Quinn Hughes blockbuster is having ripple effects around the league on the trade market. Pierre LeBrun said on TSN's Insider Trading that teams in need of a defenseman are more desperate now, and the next most sought-after blueliner on the trade market, Rasmus Andersson, is getting even more attention. What I am hearing is that the  Calgary Flames  suddenly got more calls on Rasmus Andersson after the Quinn Hughes trade.  That’s not surprising. Th...

Islanders & NHL News: Points left on the board

The Islanders suffered a regulation loss in Detroit last night through some untimely penalties and failure to stop Alex freaking DeBrincat on the ensuing power plays. They had a 1-0 lead entering the third, got the equalizer (from Scott Mayfield!?) after falling behind 2-1, but Mayfield took a late penalty and the Wings cashed in […]

Game Review: Maple Leafs pull one out of the fire, win the Bowen game vs. Bedard-less Blackhawks

All at once, this was a vital two points, a very fitting final four minutes to the Joe Bowen tribute game, and a not-at-all-reassuring performance by the Maple Leafs overall. This was the actual reality of this performance for the vast majority of the game: Irrelevant if they come back in this game, too. That […] The post Game Review: Maple Leafs pull one out of the fire, win the Bowen game vs. Bedard-less Blackhawks appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .

Blue Christmas: Maple Leafs 3, Blackhawks 2

The Chicago Blackhawks squandered a two-goal lead, allowing three unanswered goals in the final 10 minutes — including two of them just eight seconds apart — to fall 3–2 to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday in Canada. The Blackhawks opened the scoring midway through the first period. After Dominic Toninato won a faceoff, Wyatt Kaiser picked up the puck, skated in, and beat Joseph Woll with a slick wrister from the high slot to give the Blackhawks a 1–0 lead. admin stands corrected, ...

Canadiens vs. Flyers Top Six Minutes: Montreal gives away a win to Philadelphia

I’m not sure about these defence pairings Martin St-Louis has come up with, but I suppose we’ll have to see how they do. First period Jayden Struble gets caught up ice on the first shift, and Fowler has already had to face one transition rush. Cole Caufield is given about one-third of the offensive zone all to himself, but Dan Vladar saves the situation. The checking is tight right now. It’s like watching five fencing matches taking place at once. Adam Engström is ...

My Snowman and Me: Blackhawks at Maple Leafs Preview

The Chicago Blackhawks travel north to Toronto as the Blackhawks and Maple Leafs each try to put an end to a two-game losing skid. The Leafs’ season to date has been defined by inconsistency and unmet expectations: instead of sitting comfortably in the Atlantic mix, they find themselves a handful of spots outside the playoff picture, stuck in the muddled middle of the Eastern Conference. The wins haven’t come in bunches, defensive lapses have been a recurring issue, and the overall produc...
