Tomas Kaberle News

Toronto Maple Leafs' players John Mitchell, Phil Kessel, and Tomas Kaberle celebrate teammate Jason Blake's winning goal against the Carolina Hurricanes during their NHL hockey game in Raleigh, North Carolina on Friday, Nov.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have reached a critical point in the learning curve. That point where it becomes easy to say, "We're close every night.

October was a month that the Toronto Maple Leafs would like to forget. They got off to their worst start in franchise history.

In Theoren Fleury's book Playing with Fire , Fleury goes on record saying that he would've liked playing in Toronto, except for one thing.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Tomas Kaberle, Nashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne and San Jose Sharks netminder Evgeni Nabokov were named the NHL's 'Three Stars' for the week ending November 1. Kaberle gained top honors by leading the NHL in scoring for the week with 12 points on two goals and 10 assists.

MONTREALWhile the Maple Leafs continue to lead the NHL in moral victories as they search for a second real win, they can take solace in that help is on the way.

Mike Cammalleri notched the winning score in the shootout as Montreal blew a two-goal third-period lead but rebounded to top Toronto, 5-4, at Bell Centre.

Tim Connolly scored a power-play goal 1:04 into overtime, and Ryan Miller made 33 saves to help the surging Buffalo Sabres beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 on Friday night.

Luckily for the club, team management has decided to keep him around. With Myers' status cleared up, the Sabres look to continue their strong play and win their sixth straight over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday night.

To say the Maple Leafs released some pent-up frustration in their first win of the season on Monday would be an understatement.

Niklas Hagman admits being "embarrassed." With the Maple Leafs winless in their first five games of the 2009-10 season, the veteran forward was shocked to learn that coach Ron Wilson had made him a healthy scratch for an Oct.

Niklas Hagman scored three of Toronto's five power-play goals, and the Maple Leafs finally earned their first victory of the season, 6-3 over the struggling Anaheim Ducks on Monday night.

Whether while getting his face sewn back together or while stewing in the press box as a healthy scratch, Maple Leafs defenceman Ian White understands the value of a stiff upper lip.

They had played paintball. They had been bag-skated. And they had spent the majority of a practice whipping tennis balls at each other.

Toronto coach Ron Wilson's next move to try and wake up the winless Maple Leafs is to give his players the day off.

This is an embarrassing time to be a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs. It is bad enough that the team has not won a Stanley Cup since 1967.

As the Maple Leafs were booed off the ice again last night, one fan's crude sign read 'Forget playoffs, just win a game', with the team's 0-6-1 record scrawled beneath.

The Avalanche scored the fewest goals in the NHL a year ago, but have found lighting the lamp a little easier so far in 2009-10. That shouldn't change against the Maple Leafs.

Written by: Mark "The Hard Hitter" Ritter Well, it was only a mater of time. Rumors have been swirling on a number of Web sites that Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke has been in contact with the Anaheim Ducks in an attempt to land veteran goaltender Jean-Sebastien Giguere.
