Arm-not-so-strong!

Nick Kypreos state that Leafs forward Colby Armstrong will likely miss 4-6 weeks with a hand injury that could require surgery.

Looks like Caputi will take his place on the third line!

What can Brown do for you?

Mike Brown and Colton Orr dropped the gloves at practice this week, but practice is just what they were doing.

With Brown falling during several fights early in this Leafs season, Orr and Brown decided to step aside and work on balance.

This work ethic Brown shows in every part of his game is just the type of attitude this team needs. Get better at ALL areas of the game! The new attitude has shown itself this year, as the Leafs have won 9 of a possible 10 points so far this year!!!

GO LEAFS GO!!!

Lebda in... Gunnar out...

The Leafs look to continue their winning ways, facing the New York Islanders tonight.

Only one major change for the Leafs; Lebda in, Gunnar out.

This will be our first chance to see Lebda in regular season action!

Here are a few clips to get you prepared...

If the Sjoe fits!

A great opening night win by the Toronto Maple Leafs!

Although the team had some ups, and some downs, overall one player really stood out for me!

Freddie Sjostrom.

He was fast, strong on the forecheck, hit, and did all the little things you need from a shut-down third line winger!

I now pose this question to you... WHO IMPRESSED YOU THE MOST?

GoLeafsGo!

Leafs are tied for 1st in the east, and Kessel is on pace for 82 goals. Just Sayin'

Is the curse over?

It's 1967. The Leafs have just won a Stanley Cup, their fourth in six years! But as the champagne began to flow, a dark shadow began to creep across the ice at Maple Leaf Gardens.

That Shadow was Harold Ballard.

Ballard was beginning to make his move, whispering into influential ears, launching his plan to take over the Toronto Maple Leafs.

By 1972 Ballard had complete control over the team. His term as the Leafs' owner was marked by fights with key players, including Keon, McDonald, and Sittler, poor win/loss records, and not a single Stanley Cup championship. It was a dark time for the team.

The storied franchise known as the Toronto Maple Leafs have not touched the cup since.

But is that about to change?

In 1983, a new cement pad was laid at Maple Leaf Gardens. Harold Ballard's footprints, along with a date were etched into the drying cement, serving as a long lasting reminder of the mans control over this team.

As the Loblaws/Ryerson University renovation continues at the historic building, construction crews unearthed the footprints. After contacting the Hockey Hall of Fame it was decided the slab of cement would be dug out, and donated to the HHOF (see article here!)

With Ballard's final mark on the team removed, will the curse of Harold Ballard finally be lifted? Can the Leafs once again claw their way to Lord Stanley's mug, earning the respect of the hockey world?

Or is there a new curse just beginning to take shape ....

Good-bye Wellwood!

Sportsnet analyst Nick Kypreos reporting that Kyle Wellwood will earn around US $1 million with KHL’s Atlant Moscow Oblast.

He will be joining former NHLers Jeff Hamilton, Jan Bulis and Chris Bourque with the team

The former Toronto Maple Leaf, and Vancouver Canuck was often criticized for not being in peak physical condition.

Maybe he can work off his gut in Siberia

Good Bye Wellwood!
