Things have gone from bad to worse for the Toronto Maple Leafs , who are second last in the Eastern Conference, 10 points out of a playoff spot, no help is coming, and they have lost six games in a row and eight of nine. There are going to be some changes, and selling seems like a viable option for them unless something turns around immediately. The Maple Leafs have three capable NHL goalies, so someone has to go. With the injuries earlier in the season, Dennis Hildeby got the opportunity and ...
“We had a lot of really good moments in this game. We lost a little bit of momentum during the 5-on-3. For the most part, we’re happy with the point, but it would have been nice to get two.

And, while Anaheim’s Leo Carlsson (the second overall pick) is getting more league-wide talk than Fantilli at this point, the Columbus center (and Michigan product) has actually scor...

We are deep into silly season, so names are being thrown around among NHL fan bases like they’re going out of fashion. There’s an understanding among Edmonton Oilers fans that the team doesn’t have much money to spend. That has put them out of the running for someone like Artemi Panarin, and probably any of…

This is seen as a transition year for the Maple Leafs after losing Mitch M...
