Following a 1-1-1 road trip, the Leafs are back home to kick off a three-game homestand against the Buffalo Sabres at Scotiabank Arena.

TNT’s Paul Bissonnette believes this version of the Maple Leafs has good mojo
The Toronto Maple Leafs are once again being led by their stars.

Matthews has recorded…

4 takeaways from Maple Leafs-Mammoth: Anthony Stolarz’s poor start proves to be insurmountable

Instant Reaction: Anthony Stolarz struggles mightily in loss to Mammoth
It’s not fair to pin the blame for a loss entirely on one person. Hockey is a team effort, and it’s about picking each other up when you struggle. That said, Anthony Stolarz owns a large portion of the blame for the way things went in the Toronto Maple Leafs‘ 5-4 loss to the Utah…

The case for Helge Grans as a Maple Leafs trade target
The Toronto Maple Leafs have been playing much better hockey and are showing encouraging signs that they are heading in the right direction, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t consider upgrades.
