If there's one thing that I can honestly say about having a radio show is that we, at no point in time, have ever claimed to have any influence on anyone when it comes to the game of hockey. We don't have the same reach or market share as a TSN radio nor a CJOB locally, so seeing local news stories covering something we were talking about on The Hockey Show just a couple of weeks ago seems pretty cool. Of course, coverage matters and a few of these outlets did what seems like the bare minimum,...

With an important two points on the line in this divisional matchup between two under-performing rivals, this was a complete team effort on the road from the Maple Leafs.

Brad Marchand loves to play the Toronto Maple Leafs, and apparently, he loves to defend them as well. Ahead of the Maple Leafs and Florida Panthers matchup on Tuesday night, Marchand spoke with the media, and essentially bashed all the 'haters' who feel the Maple Leafs are not a playoff team. Marchand made it very clear, he still feels they are, and everyone shouldn't be writing them off in December. "What are we, 25 games in? If you think that your playoff dreams are done 25 games in, you've ...

This past week was pretty busy when it comes to news and updates for Toronto's prospects, plus some small notes I didn't get from the previous week.
The NHL's trade market has picked up in a major way, and expect to see some action in the very near future. GM's around the league now have a pretty good idea of what their team's makeup is, as the American Thanksgiving milestone weekend has passed, and with the Christmas holiday break coming up, this is usually when we see a few trades trickle in before the calendar flips to the new year. According to hockey insider Chris Johnston, there's three teams to be on the lookout for: Chris Joh...
