For those wondering about the Maple Leafs and killer instinct, we would argue we’ve already seen it in the Battle of Ontario. Whether the Leafs win Game 4 on Saturday night in Ottawa to sweep the Senators won’t be based on an ability to put a team away. It’s going to be more about continuing […]

18 h. ago What the Toronto Maple Leafs' unlikely OT hero said after huge win

The Toronto Maple Leafs are one step closer to pushing one of their fiercest rivals to the brink.The Leafs took a 3-0 series lead on Thursday night over the Ottawa Senators in their first-round playoff matchup, staking a serious claim to another Battle of Ontario crown.Though the game wasn't as much an invasion of Ottawa's arena as is often the case when the Leafs come into town, it was still a scenario that left much of the local fanbase heading home from Kanata unsatisfied.Taking the Senators to overtime in back-to-back games, defenceman Simon Benoit upgraded his assist on Max Domi's overtime goal in Game 2 into one of his own, playing hero for what he called the biggest goal of his career.SIMON BENOIT WINS IT FOR THE LEAFS!!! pic.twitter.com/s57inifTs2— Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) April 25, 2025Now in his second season with the Leafs, it was just the third goal that Benoit had scored in Toronto and his seventh career in the NHL after a combined 289 regular season and...

There wasn’t a whole lot of celebration or excitement when Craig Berube was hired as head coach of the Maple Leafs last May. He was just a guy who’d been around forever, or so a lot of us thought. He was just a guy with one Stanley Cup to his name, but not a lot […]

38 h. ago Watching a Toronto Maple Leafs game at Maple Leaf Square made me a believer

MLSE's Toronto Maple Leafs tailgate parties have become an integral part of NHL playoff season in the city year after year, and I, a non-sports watcher, went down to find out what all the fuss is about for the first time.Let's set the stage. It's the eve of Game 2 in the battle of Ontario, and I'm packed like a sardine in a southbound TTC train headed, alongside dozens if not hundreds of blue-clad compatriots, to watch the game from outside Scotiabank Arena at Maple Leaf Square.Now, I'm a Leafs fan by virtue of birthright only — I can count on one hand the number of full games I've actually sat through — but, already seeing the sheer volume of fans planning to be physically present at the game (a tiny fraction, surely, of their total fan base), it's beginning to dawn on me that I've been missing out on something major this whole time. I just have to figure out what, exactly, that major something is, and Maple Leaf Squar...

42 h. ago Leafs players roamed Toronto streets before playoff games and hardly anyone noticed

There's a common belief held that if you ever find yourself as a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs, your life will never be the same.With a rabid media market, eagle-eyed fans, and about as much pressure as any professional athlete could be expected to have, even fringe Leafs players are assumed to have a tough time being anonymous in Toronto.But that might not exactly be the case.Posted up on the corner of Bay and Front streets before Game 1 and 2 against the Ottawa Senators in the opening round of the playoffs this week, fan Brian Encarnacao shared a few videos on his Instagram page of Leafs players opting to walk down the street to Scotiabank Arena rather than take a car or public transit.With thousands of fans packed into Maple Leaf Square, the arena itself, and nearby bars, restaurants, and condos to watch the game, you'd imagine the players would be bugged by people trying to stop them for an autograph or a quick pic.One of the players spotted by Encarnacao before both...
