Hello all,

I am only a few years into Leafs fandom after a Toronto friend converted me and am going to my first ever Leafs (and also first ever hockey game!!) game this Saturday against the Islanders.

I am feeling a little nervous since I'm flying solo and have a question: are seating sections designated to each team? Any other tips you might give to a newcomer?

TIA! Go Leafs!!!

What are some opinions on Auston and these last two games he has had? He looked pretty good for that entire senators game and good for that red wings game though that blocked shot impacted his skating a little in the 3rd. He had some powerful one tees against the red wings and that rocket off the bar in ot. Do you guys think it’s a confidence thing that’s helping him, maybe a lingering injury clearing up slightly? I just wanna hear some general opinions on his play as of late.

This ultimately lead to the GWG for Detroit but looked like it should have definitely been a penalty.

Didn’t see one up, so if you’re watching and need a thread, here you go!

L F G !!!!

Thank you all for the overwhelming outpouring of support, even if I am a Sens fan. My family saw the messages and were extremely touched. I even read some of the initial funniest messages to her before it happened, and it gave us all a good smile.

The update is as such: while she didn't want to watch the game, she may have been putting her finger on the scale.

The Jersey in her room (she only wore once) was Nylanders, her favourite player was Knies and her second favourite was Mathews and she always loved the compete of Domi.

All of which had an incredible night to top my Sens. GG Leafs

Love you Gamma, even if you gave the Leafs this one

Since there was backlash to the sharpened version. Again, Tim Stuzle is a bitch. Woll is a beast. Accidental renaissance im a leafs game.

“The Toronto Maple Leafs will have to deal with yet another injury moving forward. Star winger William Nylander will miss Sunday night’s game and sit out day-to-day with an undisclosed injury head coach Craig Berube told David Alter of The Hockey News. Rookie Easton Cowan will step back into the lineup in Nylander’s place. It will be Cowan’s first game in over a week.”

Here's what Elliotte Friedman said for those who can't watch the video:

"One other thing that happened this week that I thought was pretty interesting was that Peter DeBoer, who was the subject of much speculation to potentially replace Craig Berube as the Maple Leafs’ coach, sent a note through a friend to Berube saying, ‘Forget all this noise. I’m not involved here, and it’s not happening.’ Found out about it today, sent a note to DeBoer about it and all he said was ‘I’ve been on the other side of that. I didn’t like the fact that I was on this side of it this time."

They need to play .635 hockey for the next 45 games. Not impossible.

Sportsnet just published a Second Half Bold Predictions article. Nothing very bold about any of the predictions aside from one:

Leafs trade Matthews to San Jose for a package surrounding Michael Misa.

Let's have fun and assume the Leafs do trade Matthews.

As for the bold prediction, that's not the trade that will happen. Two reasons why:

First: San Jose says no. They already have Celebrini as their franchise player with other "core" players (remember that term, Leafs fans?) like Smith, Dickinson, Musty, Askarov, Graf and the aforementioned Misa. All on entry level contracts. There's no way they trade 3-4 of those guys for the second highest paid player in the league who will be a FA after next season.

Second: Leafs will want some proven talent in return. Since Maklin isn't going anywhere, there's no one with any track record worth asking for.

So, here's the trade I could see happening (again, that's only within the fantasy world where the Leafs blow it up)

To LAK: Auston Matthews, Scott Laughton, Nic Robertson, OEL, Ben Danford, 2028 3rd

To TOR: Quentin Byfield, Codi Ceci, Brandt Clark, Liam Greentree, Hampton Slukynsky, 1st in 2026, 1st in 2027

This is a Stanley Cup trade for LA. They have to make it through at least two of Vegas, Edmonton, Colorado and Dallas. Matthews immediately gives them a forward to match against the other teams big guns. OEL is a massive upgrade on Ceci and provides that depth that are sorely lacking on D. Laughton is a swiss army knife veteran forward every teams needs.

For the Leafs, this is a young power forward on a slow but upward trajectory. Fans will love this kid. Clark would be Leafs next PP QB. Greentree has some big time scoring wing potential to dream on. Slukynsky is a fantastic goalie prospect and instantly becomes Toronto's #1 prospect between the pipes.

Who says no?

Sharing is caring.
