Toronto Maple Leafs News

Was it all a dream? I remember as a kid when we would get the neighbourhood together for a road hockey game we would choose sides and emulate the pros.

Mats Sundin remains the Maple Leafs' all-time leader with 987 points, including a franchise record 420 goals, in 981 games.

The Toronto Maple Leafs start on a 3 game western Canadian road trip where they will face the Calgary Flames on Tuesday, February 14. Then 49 hours later the Maple Leafs play against the Edmonton Oilers. Then finish off the road trip by facing the Vancouver Canucks Saturday evening on Hockey Night in Canada, before heading back to the Air Canada Center for a four game home stand.

vs Calgary Flames – Following three disappointing straight losses for Maple Leafs, the buds are in need of a dire win, in order to get the team back on track. The Flames have been playing .500 hockey over their last eight games. Maple Leafs and Flames have only faced each other once this season, where the Maple Leafs came back from a 2-0 deficit to win 3-2. This game should be a tremendous battle, as both the Leafs and Flames are in a tight battle just to make the playoffs.

vs Edmonton Oilers – The next game is in Edmonton, to face the Oilers. Over the last eight games the Oilers are 5-3, and have scored 27 goals. The Maple Leafs recently played the Oilers earlier this month where the Maple Leafs scored 6 goals and Phil Kessel recorded 2 goals and 1 assists. In my opinion this is a must win game for the Maple Leafs. It was unfortunate to lose against a below .500 team in the Montreal Canadiens, but you have to seal the deal with the Oilers.

vs Vancouver Canucks – The Canucks are currently ranked third in the NHL in points. The Canucks have recorded points in their last 9 games and are red hot. The Maple Leafs have only faced the Canucks once this season, where the Canucks won by the score of 5-3. This is one of those it would be nice to win games, but I do not expect the Maple Leafs to pull this one out.
