3 d. ago Brad Marchand is sticking up for the Toronto Maple Leafs again

Brad Marchand seems to have a soft spot for the Toronto Maple Leafs these days. Despite being one of the most hated NHL players in Toronto and having eliminated the Leafs in the playoffs countless times, the little ball of hate is refusing to throw his arch-nemesis team under the bus.The Leafs are set to take on the Panthers on Tuesday night, and Marchand was asked about Toronto's slow start to the season. Through 25 games, the Maple Leafs are out of a playoff spot and sit tied for last in the Atlantic Division with the Panthers. Marchand had every opportunity to twist the knife, but instead opted to stick up for the team and call out people quick to hit the panic button. "What are we? 25 games in? If you think your playoff dreams are done 25 games in, you have bigger problems," Marchand said. "I know they don't think that in the room, it's just the media attention and fan support they have in Toronto, things get blown way out of propor...

2 w. ago All but four Toronto Maple Leafs players reportedly up for grabs in trade market

The Toronto Maple Leafs haven't hit the panic button on the season yet, but they might not be too far off.Heading into Thursday's games, the Leafs are sitting 15th in the Eastern Conference, and tied with the Vancouver Canucks for 27th in the entire NHL.The saving grace for Toronto is that they're still scoring plenty of goals, as their 70 on the season ranks fifth league-wide. But given that their 74 goals allowed ranks fourth-most in the league, it's not hard to see why they've been struggling to keep the pace of many recent seasons.Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported in a 32 Thoughts column on Thursday that Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving is looking to improve his roster, and is willing to give up just about anyone should a trade benefit the team."They do not want to trade futures (include Easton Cowan in that)," Friedman wrote. "They will listen to anyone not named [Auston] Matthews, [William] Nylander, [Matthew] Knies or John...
