No trick, but here’s a treat for you @thehockeywriters.bsky.social. I had the opportunity to talk with #LeafsForever legend Darryl Sittler on retirement, being part of the org., Harold Ballard & more. Full interview here: thehockeywriters.com/catching-up-...

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social : The #LeafsForever continue to find a perfect fit for Auston Matthews on the RW. Though we have seen what did and didn’t work as they mixed up their lines. thehockeywriters.com/maple-leafs-...

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social: A lot is going wrong for the #LeafsForever through seven games. Inconsistencies, slow starts and no intent when they play. They should take a page from the Blue Jays. thehockeywriters.com/maple-leafs-...

That’s how you respond. Slick pass by Nylander on a 2-on-1 and feeds Maccelli for his first as a #LeafsForever.

Was that a 4-on-1 with Brenden Dillon scoring? Just embarrassing. After being called out by both goalie and coach, this team still continues to get walked all over and be atrocious overall. #LeafsForever

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social : I was not happy with Anthony Stolarz being run into. I was really not happy with the delayed response from everyone on the ice. The team needs to have his back & show it. thehockeywriters.com/maple-leafs-... #LeafsForever

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social: With a lot of heat being on the Buffalo Sabres and Rasmus Dahlin & Tage Thompson saying their needs to be improvements this season, the #LeafsForever should keep a close eye on Thompson. thehockeywriters.com/maple-leafs-...

Thought Primeau did a decent job tonight. Could’ve had 1 maybe 2 goals. Especially that one. #LeafsForever

That’s a slick ENG goal from Matthews to grab the pass mid-air and tuck it quickly. #LeafsForever

Oh that was a pretty passing play between Matthews and Knies. Cowan gets his first career NHL point. #LeafsForever

Love that response coming to Cowan’s defense. Wish they’d do it more when cheap shots are given. #LeafsForever

Bobby McHockey stays with it. What a quick breakout out pass from OEL to start it all. 5 points from the blue line tonight. #LeafsForever

Jake McCabe with a quick snap shot from the point. 1-0. That’s the start the team needed. #LeafsForever

The way Maccelli spots seams and passing lanes is outstanding. Great feed to find Benoit jumping in. #LeafsForever

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social : While it’s been an up and down start for everyone, Morgan Rielly is showing signs of a bounce-back season, keeping his word on his promise to be better: thehockeywriters.com/maple-leafs-... #LeafsForever

Rielly getting pucks on net from the point is definitely something I can get behind. Great deflection from Roy for his first. #LeafsForever

Killer Krok is on the loose. #LeafsForever

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social : With the preseason done and roster spots limited, both Easton Cowan and Nick Robertson did their best to make their case for different reasons: thehockeywriters.com/maple-leafs-...

Short handed clapper from Nicky Bobby? Are you kidding me? These are the plays you want to see. #LeafsForever

Bad read by Thrun. Really bad look to also give up a goal on the first shot. #LeafsForever

If Nick Robertson could make plays and turn pucks over like that consistently, he wouldn’t have to worry about his spot in the lineup. #LeafsForever

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social : With the preseason coming to an end, I look at 5 standouts for the #LeafsForever, including a few rookies. Full post here: thehockeywriters.com/5-maple-leaf...

OEL did a good job boxing out Larkin, just let up for one second and boom, puck is in the back of the net. #LeafsForever

If those are the kind of plays that Morgan Rielly starts on the PP, watch out. #LeafsForever

Ohhhh, Auston Matthews is hitting 60 this year. #LeafsForever

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social : With Easton Cowan still with the main group and finding chemistry with Steven Lorentz and Scott Laughton, the #LeafsForever may have a new look fourth line that can be very competitive: thehockeywriters.com/maple-leafs-...

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social: The #2026NHLDraft season is underway and with that here’s my preseason top-32. Close to 4,000 words on those players along with honourable mentions to keep an eye. Check it out here: thehockeywriters.com/2026-nhl-dra...

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social: Nick Robertson and Calle Jarnkrok were under the microscope coming into training camp. Two games in, both are doing everything they can to keep their roster spots. My latest here: thehockeywriters.com/maple-leafs-...

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social: Prospect and camp invitee Owen Conrad survived the first round of cuts. He’s still with the team and an ELC isn’t out of the question. thehockeywriters.com/maple-leafs-...

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social : With the #LeafsForever releasing their camp roster, here are some things to keep an eye on. thehockeywriters.com/4-maple-leaf...

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social: the yearly Prospect Showdown happened this weekend. Despite not having a strong prospect pool, there were plenty of standouts for the #LeafsForever: thehockeywriters.com/7-maple-leaf...

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social: Matthew Knies recently made comments about pressure. He’s embracing it, but he’s the ideal player to change the team’s DNA going forward. My latest here: thehockeywriters.com/matthew-knie...

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social : It’s been rumoured that #LeafsForever talked to the Utah Mammoth about Mikhail Sergachev. It’s a move where Utah may not trade him but it doesn’t solve the Leafs main issue. thehockeywriters.com/maple-leafs-...

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social : the #Marlies will be going through a transition with their roster as younger players will be turning pro and getting more responsibilities. Here are 7 players to watch this season: thehockeywriters.com/7-marlies-pl... #LeafsForever

New @TheHockeyWriter: Training Camp is around the corner. So, here are six players to keep an eye on heading into camp for the #LeafsForever thehockeywriters.com/6-maple-leaf...

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social: Adding to some burning questions for the #LeafsForever as there’s a long list of ones heading into camp. Here are my three: thehockeywriters.com/3-more-burni...

Busy week, nerded out, but back to work @thehockeywriters.bsky.social with my latest. Bold takes are already starting with the #LeafsForever team so why not add some more? Here are mine for the season. thehockeywriters.com/4-more-bold-...

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social : the #2026NHLDraft season kicked off with #HlinkaGretzkyCup. Here are the standout performers from those eligible for the draft. thehockeywriters.com/2026-draft-e...

New post @thehockeywriters.bsky.social : Victor Johansson wasn’t a known name at the 2024 Draft. After a standout DY+1 season and impressed at the WJSS, he’s a top defensive prospect for the #LeafsForever thehockeywriters.com/maple-leafs-...

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social : The #HlinkaGretzkyCup is starting next week. What better way to kick it off than with some #2026NHLDraft players to watch. Here are my top-9: thehockeywriters.com/2026-draft-e...

Some #HlinkaGretzkyCup content @thehockeywriters.bsky.social Focussing in on CHL Rookie of the Year Landon DuPont as his stellar rookie season will carry over into the tournament. thehockeywriters.com/landon-dupon...

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social : Matias Maccelli could prove to be a great addition, but should he be on the top line? My take here: thehockeywriters.com/should-matia... #LeafsForever

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social : Even with a big prospect pool turnover, there are still plenty of names flying under the radar for the #LeafsForever. Here are my top-five. thehockeywriters.com/5-maple-leaf...

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social : The #LeafsForever prospect pool has seen a major turnover. However there’s still a lot of potential and quality that remains. My top 10 prospects for the 2025-26 season here: thehockeywriters.com/maple-leafs-...

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social : Yes, it’s early but why not get a glimpse at who to watch for leading up to the #2026NHLDraft. Here’s an early top-32 with reports on the top-16. thehockeywriters.com/2026-nhl-dra...

It’s beena while Blue Sky! Let’s get some interaction going #LeafsForever fans. I already got my list for a top 10 prospects piece @thehockeywriters.bsky.social: There’s been a lot of changes in the pipeline now, but who are some names you’d put in your top-10? (excluding Cowan, Danford & Chadwick).

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social : The #LeafsForever Ryan Reaves trade was one that needed to happen, but it’s one for the better as they have Michael Pezzetta and Henry Thrun. My take here: thehockeywriters.com/maple-leafs-...

1 of 2 posts today @thehockeywriters.bsky.social : With the #LeafsForever needing a top-six forward, Jared McCann’s name is coming up again in the rumour mill. He’s a perfect fit, but can Leafs afford to pay up? thehockeywriters.com/maple-leafs-...

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social : As the #LeafsForever look to change their ‘DNA’, the addition of Nicolas Roy is the start of that change. My take here: thehockeywriters.com/nicolas-roy-...

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social : my #2025NHLDraft recap for the #LeafsForever. While they left a lot of talent & potential on the board, they addressed being ‘mean’ and competitive with their picks. Analysis here: thehockeywriters.com/maple-leafs-...
