The Maple Leafs’ big bet on Matt Murray is off to a nightmarish start

Matt Murray injured his groin and will miss the next four weeks. He was traded to the Leafs from the Senators for a 25% discount. The Leafs took a risk by trading for him. Murray has a history of injuries. He won two Stanley Cups with Pittsburgh. His last injury-plagued season ended in the Eastern Conference finals. It's a bad start for the new team. They traded him for Petr Mrazek. Mazraek also had injuries and he was sold to Chicago. This time, the risk is not so great. Toronto traded for Murray. they were betting on his pedigree and familiarity with him, but he has had many injuries in recent years.

Mark Masters: 'It means everything': Fraser Minten defies odds to make Toronto Maple Leafs

The Maple Leafs practised at the Ford Performance Centre on Monday. Fraser Minten wears a bracelet with the slogan "No excuses, No limits!" "I've worn it for the past four years," he said.

Leafs beat Panthers 2-1 pushing series to Game 5

If the Toronto Maple Leafs want to keep their season alive, they'll need to win four straight games against the Florida Panthers, starting with tonight's Game 4 in Sunrise, Fla.

Leafs look good halfway through, but playoffs are true test

A team that's halfway through the NHL schedule with less than 10 regulation losses should feel good about itself and provide fans ample positives ahead of playoffs. But these are the Maple Leafs, whose string of six first-round defeats in the Shanaplan era keep clouding such semi-annual midway mirth. You can sense the pessimism in Leafs Nation.…

2022-23 NHL team preview: Toronto Maple Leafs

How you feel about the Toronto Maple Leafs' 2021-22 is a matter of perspective. Sunny side up: it was the best, most memorable regular season in team history.

Ilya Samsonov Turned Down More Years with Another Club to Bet on Himself With the Maple Leafs

Ilya Samsonov was a little surprised when the Washington Capitals elected not to tender him a qualifying offer this summer, especially when GM Brian McLellan had initially intended to do so.

Goaltending the biggest question mark for Maple Leafs with camp around the corner

Nearly eight weeks have passed since the Maple Leafs had news to impart, and that was little more than a rubber-stamp, when winger Pierre Engvall was signed to a one-year extension in mid-July. An uneventful two months for Leafs Nation - or close to it - is about to come to an end. Perhaps that happened on Friday, when the club announced it had…
