Those Nylander rumours are the reason that I have a Matthews Centennial Classic jersey in the closet, and not a Nylander jersey.  I was afraid of paying big bucks for a jersey of a guy who was gone by the big game.  With that said, a Matthews jersey is not a bad consolation prize.

Ha Ha Ha, reminds me of when the Jays had Dickie, Johnson and Wang in their rotation.

How many are left in camp? I'm heading to Buffalo to see the Bills Sunday.  We're catching tomorrow night's Leafs/Sabres game.  Am I safe in assuming that if a guy is in the lineup tonight (Matthews, Nylander), that I won't see him tomorrow?

Looking into it, I found a cool stat.  William wasn't the first Nylander to get 60+ points in under 1300 minutes.  Dad Michael did it in 2001-02 (although at a much older 29).

Does anyone know the story behind the different number on the one kid's jersey? It is, or starts with, 9.  It could be a Gilmour jersey, but he's too young to have seen Dougie play.  I doubt it's a Charlie Conacher jersey.  Glenn Anderson?  Was it just his jersey number?  That's the likely...

I see the Leafs losing Marincin.  When he got in the lineup, he was a valuable, dependable D-man.  At 25, he's still young, and ready to contribute.

So, who gets win number three first, the Leafs (2-1) or the Jays (2-11)?

I feel good about tonight's game.  The team showed they can keep up with the Capitals.  They shut down the threats, and ultimately got beat by their depth.  If they can shut down the scorers again, I think they can take game 2. 

Is that a guess, or a rumour?

What's the over-under on how many times we hear the phrase "most important game of the season" tonight?  Who says it first?  My money is on Elliotte.

You know you've made it when the Iron Sheik takes time out of his busy day to tweet about you.

TSN Senior Hockey Reporter thinks so:

Lamoriello is the king of loopholes though.  If anyone can find one, Lou is the man.

It would not surprise me if Lou finds a loophole, and Marner spends a significant amount of time in the AHL on a conditioning stint.  I am not sure on the rules, but I think that AHL conditioning stints are allowed.

Do the Leafs have goaltending scouts outside of California? Over the last 10 years or so the majority of non-homegrown goalies in the system have come from California based teams. Vesa Toskala from San Jose (2007-10) JS Giguere from Anaheim (2009-11) Jonathan Bernier from LA (2013-16)...

With Polak back, can we all agree to pretend that he was never traded away, and therefore, agree to pretend that Raffi Torres was never a member of The Maple Leafs? I know Torres never suited up for the Leafs or even Marlies, but man, I hate that guy, and hate that he was even technically a...

My favourite day on the calendar... December 29th in Tampa.  I already had plans to be there anyways.  Now I get to see the Leafs.  With any luck, it will be Stamkos's first game back in Tampa.

I was just talking about the difference between those two words.  I saw a restaurant that offered "complementary dinner" on you birthday.  We joked that after dinner, the waiter would bring a bill (because it was complementary, not complimentary), and tell us how good the dinner looked beside us.

Thanks for the link.  Works well.

I came here wondering the same thing.
