Christian Hanson knows exactly the address he needs to inhabit if his second stint as a Maple Leaf is going to result in permanent residency.

The Leafs have called up Christian Hanson to take John Mitchell's place in the lineup.

No one does goalie worship quite like the denizens of the Air Canada Centre. So in love were Toronto Maple Leafs fans with Curtis Joseph, they booed the early efforts of Ed Belfour.

Colton Orr of the Toronto Maple Leafs can't bear to watch as Minnesota's Derek Boogaard rides him into the boards in Toronto on Tuesday night.

Mike Komisarek will likely be in the Leafs' lineup tomorrow night despite suffering a lower-body injury that knocked him out of Saturday's game against Detroit.
