Battle of Ontario

The Maple Leafs travel to Ottawa this Saturday for their first meeting of the season with the Senators. The Leafs are looking to bounce back from a disappointing loss against the Hurricanes on Thursday night. They will need a much better effort from all four lines and need to keep the game simple. Here's to hoping they start another win streak.

Leafs travel to Carolina.

The Maple Leafs faced off against the Hurricanes Thursday night coming off a 4 game win streak. The Leafs didn't come out with the same intensity as the previous 4 games and a 3-1 became of it. Their lone goal came from Nazem Kadri on a deflection from a Dion Phanuef point shot. If the Leafs want to stay high in the standings while being the victims of multiple injuries (Reimer, Lupul, Frattin etc) then they will need a much better effort against Ottawa on Saturday.

Phil Kessel Trade Rumours.

I'd like to put this rumour to rest. Although Phil Kessel has yet to score his first goal of the season. He is still by far the Maple Leafs biggest scoring threat. It would make no sense to trade him now. Kessel is only 25 years old and has played 241 games as a leaf. In those 241 games he has 205 pts. Out of those 205 pts he has 99 goals. Pretty good numbers for a guy who is only 25, and who didn't exactly have the greatest line mates his first few years with the team. As he matures as a person and a player he's only going to get better, and that goes for Phil and this young leafs team.

Leafs Grind out the W

Last night the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals 3-2. The Maple Leafs were down 2-1 but rallied back with goals from James Van Riemsdyk, Nikolai Kulemin and Matt Frattin. Phil Kessel had an abundance of scoring chances but still couldn't pop his first of the year. Phil will look to get one on Saturday against his old team as the Leafs take on the Bruins in Hockey Night in Canada.
