Latest news and updates about the Maple Leafs
There’s strength in numbers. For the Czech men’s hockey team, that strength is their netminders, not the slim pool of players from which they select them. Their first big test will be taking on the powerhouse Canadian team Thursday morning. To do what Dominik Hašek and Jaromir Jagr did in 1998, shock the world and…
The Toronto Maple Leafs are going to have an interesting week and a bit coming out of the Olympic break as they sit six points back of a playoff spot and have decisions to make about their roster for this season and in preparation of the future. This is seen as a transition year, the first without Mitch Marner, and attempting to build a more rounded team with the money. That hasn't really worked out, but they are still in the race if they have a strong finish to the season. According to Pierre...
With the Olympic break officially underway, all eyes in Leafs Nation have turned to the March 6 trade deadline. I’ve already written on this subject and outlined the general strategy I’d follow if I were GM Brad Treliving. To summarize, can the Leafs combine selling off pieces for draft picks with taking back salary and/or […] The post The Maple Leafs shouldn’t sell just for selling’s sake at the trade deadline appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
Oilersnation is reviving the Top 100 Edmonton Oilers of All Time list, a project originally created by the late Robin Brownlee in 2015. Craig Muni comes in at No. 46 on our updated 2025 list. He was ranked No. 38 on Brownlee’s original list. Craig Muni was drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the…
“We were kind of expecting [the fights] at the start of the game, and [our players] did a great job. They gave us momentum. On the next shift that we actually started playing hockey, Vinnie (Lettieri) and I went out there and just fed off the energy that the boys gave us, and we got […] The post Toronto Marlies enter the All-Star break after a line brawl and a big victory over Springfield appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
Injuries and so-so performances have made it harder to find three players trending in a positive direction over the past couple of weeks.
The Toronto Maple Leafs might not be making many big moves this trade deadline, but Nick Kypreos ignited some serious speculation about a move they might make this offseason. On air recently, Kypreos said the Leafs should move Morgan Rielly out, then bring Toronto native Darren Raddysh home in free agency. The most interesting bit of the hypothetical was that he did not present it as a maybe. He said it was already a 'done deal'. Kypreos on Real Kyper & Bourne: "What will happen is that ...
In roughly 24 hours, the Men’s Ice Hockey Tournament at the 2028 Winter Olympics will begin, and for the first time since 2014, NHL players are taking part. Participating nations have been practicing in earnest since arriving late last week, and after months of worry regarding the status of the hockey arena in Milan, the […]
The Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers don't often trade, but former Maple Leafs generally find themselves in Edmonton sooner or later. A lot have passed through over the last decade and some are still there thriving like Zach Hyman. The West and the East are so different this season that the Oilers are second in their division with 64 points in 58 games and the Maple Leafs have 63 points in 57 games, but Toronto is six points out of a playoff spot. While they have had similar seasons, th...
Despite the Toronto Maple Leafs winning three games in a row heading into the Olympic break, they still sit six points back of a playoff spot and it isn't an easy hill to climb with four teams in their way and only 25 games remaining. There isn't a ton of time or games before the trade deadline once the freeze is lifted, so some decisions will have to be made in the short term coming out of the break. Toronto has three goalies and only needs two for next season. If they don't go into the seaso...
After arriving in Milan and participating in his first Team USA Practice, Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews discussed his acclimation overseas, first impressions of the Olympic arena, and life in the Olympic village. There has been so much build-up. What was it like to be on the ice with your teammates? Matthews: Yeah, it is […] The post Auston Matthews on the Olympic ice conditions in Milan: “The ice isn’t great in Toronto, either, but you live with it” appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotst...

The Edmonton Oilers have been linked to Toronto Maple Leafs forward Bobby McMann in recent weeks. About two weeks ago on Oilers Now, Bob Stauffer mentioned the forward, with Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman agreeing that he’d look good on the roster. From there, the rumour took on a life of its own, with The Fourth Period’s…

The Phantoms hit the road for a quick trip up to Bridgeport this evening, for the final game of the weekend and their final game before the break. They were looking to close this one out on a high note, and prevent the Islanders from gaining any more ground on them in the standings, but between a stilted offensive effort and a bit of shaky goaltending, they struggled to get themselves off the ground, and instead came away with another quite lopsided loss. The basics First period: 6:0...
The Bobby McMann market is only expected to get louder, and the Colorado Avalanche are starting to feel like a legitimate landing spot if a trade actually happens. With the Toronto Maple Leafs flirting with sell mode and reportedly asking for a first-round pick, McMann has turned into a deadline winger that contenders love to add in March. He has 19 goals and 13 assists in 56 games this season, he's a proven 20-goal scorer, and his $1.35 million cap hit makes him one of the easiest plugs...
Women’s Hockey (26-4) The women’s hockey team stayed unbeaten with 3-0 and 5-2 wins over Robert Morris last weekend. McKenna Walsh, Maddy Christian, and Grace Outwater all scored in the outdoor game at Beaver Stadium to lift Penn State to a 3-0 win. In Game 2, Penn State overcame an early 2-0 deficit and scored […]
This weekend marks the 50th anniversary of Darryl Sittler’s legendary 10-point game. On February 7, 1976, Sittler scored six times and added four assists to power the Leafs to a win over the Bruins. With the feat coming on a nationally televised Hockey Night in Canada game, the record became a defining moment of 1970s hockey. The record still stands to this day. Sittler’s record was recognized by the Maple Leafs during a ceremony last week, in the last home game before the anniversary. We dug ...
In the latest MLHS Podcast, Nick Ashbourne and Anthony Petrielli discuss the Leafs’ recent 3-1-0 road trip and the tricky balance of potentially selling at the trade deadline while wanting to remain competitive next season.

Just because the Toronto Maple Leafs have won three games in a row heading into their Olympic break doesn't mean GM Brad Treliving is going to slow down the trade conversations. Multiple reports have surfaced stating the Maple Leafs are open for business, which could include selling off some of their top trade assets, while also adding long-term options for the roster. Bobby McMann and Oliver Ekman-Larsson hold the most value on the trade market when it comes to the Leafs' roster, and don't be...
The Edmonton Oilers’ inconsistent regular-season play continued again last night in a 5-2 loss to Toronto. The Oilers had stretches where they controlled the game and generated many quality looks, however, the lack of focus at key points in the game cost them again. Toronto scored nine seconds after Edmonton tied the game, and then…
The Edmonton Oilers went 4-4 over a homestand that could’ve pushed them into first place in the Pacific Division. Instead, they got smoked 5-2 by the Toronto Maple Leafs at Rogers Place last night. Now they’re heading to the Saddledome for one more game before the Olympic break. Winning in Calgary won’t erase the frustration…
The Edmonton Oilers wrapped up their longest homestand of the season on Tuesday with a 5-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, closing the door on an eight-game stretch that offered far more uncertainty than clarity. The result, much like the homestand itself, felt like a missed chance. Another mid-pack opponent arriving in Edmonton on…
They aren’t dead yet. The Maple Leafs will head into the Olympic break on a three-game winning streak and five points out of a playoff spot. To me, it’s still not enough to consider changing course on selling before the deadline, but that’s a different story. For now, let’s discuss a nice Leaf effort to […] The post Game Review: Maple Leafs enter the break on a high note with a satisfying win in Edmonton appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
Oilers, Leafs. Leafs, Oilers. They’re games that always bring a big, split, noisy crowd to Rogers Place, and it was no different Tuesday night, with competing chants all three periods. The energy was nothing short of fantastic, and it’s a shame the Leafs are so far from being a Stanley Cup contender, because an all-Canadian…
