Fans grew to really hate the longer preseason that we got accustomed to for many years. Finally, the NHL answered, with most teams playing just four exhibition games this year. Some teams are already done, with the Toronto Maple Leafs, in particular, doing a pair of split-squad games to complete their run. It’s been well-received by fans, but it gives prospects a smaller opportunity to prove themselves in NHL uniforms. We’ve seen guys sneak into NHL starting-night roles because they went on ab...

Good morning Toronto Maple Leafs fans! One more weekend before the new hockey season begins, and while it may be tempting to sit and watch pre-season game highlights to avoid the cold that southern Ontario will sit in, I say we exercise those brain wrinkles by avoiding the screens and picking up a book. Or use your device to listen to an audiobook. I have a few hockey books I’ve enjoyed so here’s what I can go through on a nice day. Between the Lines – Ray Scapinello I’m not looking for to sta...
Toronto enters the 2026–27 season with a new starting goalie, the No. 1 draft pick, and a question that neither addition can answer on its own. After finishing 32-36-14 and missing the playoffs, the Maple Leafs need Sergei Bobrovsky to reverse a sharp decline in net. Bobrovsky posted an .877 save percentage with Florida last […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs are less than a week away from their first game of what promises to be a crucial 2025-26 season, and they may be without one of their newly acquired depth forwards when the puck drops. New head coach Jim Hiller told reporters, including Arun Srinivasan of The Leafs Nation, on Thursday that veteran forward Nick Paul is being held out of action on a day-to-day basis with an undisclosed injury, but he also said Wednesday that he did not believe the injury to be serious. Pa...
Steven Lorentz hitting waivers on Thursday is a mildly surprising development for a player who led a credible Maple Leafs penalty kill in shorthanded ice time among forwards last season and has shown he can capably handle a defensively-tilted fourth-line assignment. It may also say as much about Nick Paul’s uncertain status for opening night […] The post Steven Lorentz hits the waiver wire, Nick Paul’s opening-night status unclear as the Maple Leafs begin to sort through roster decisions app...

The Leafs finished 16th in the NHL in goals for with 252 last season, a steep decline compared to prior years when they scored 300-plus goals and finished in the top-five for offense.
