The Weekly Leaflet: Maple Leafs at Senators, February 23 2013 and the week ahead.

Okay, I've gone ahead and done it. For the time being this segment has been given a name, apparently, that name being "The Weekly Leaflet", courtesy rasiqra/revulva.

Today's edition features another round of the Battle of Ontario with the Leafs facing off against The Sens, on the road, sort of.

The Buds headed into Ottawa to cap off a fairly eventful week on their schedule.

Starting the week of in Florida, the Leafs downed the Panthers by a score of 3-0 (continuing their shutout ways) before heading into Tampa Bay and playing a much better Lightning team (better than who? well, the leafs and the panthers I'd wager). The Leafs laid a bit of a stinker in this one, with Scrivens pulled late in the game and the team ultimately falling by a score of 4-2. Two nights later, they were back home in Toronto, facing the Ruff-less Sabres, who they trounced 3-1 on the back of a big 2 goal night from JVR.

tap, tap, tap-a-roo

The Ottawa Senators record was one win better than the Leafs, as they beat most of the Atlantic Division this week, dropping the Isles, Rangers and Devils since we saw them last.

This made for many questions heading into the evening:

-how will each team respond to their litany of injuries?
-why in the hell is this Alfredsson guy still playing ? (yea, yea, great player, whatever)
-which Ben Scrivens will show up ? Back to back shutouts Ben Scrivens, or four goals on 16 shots Ben Scrivens?

I know you're clearly very excited to find out, as there's certainly no way for you to have gleaned this knowledge before, so hit the jump and let's see what happened

The Weekly Leaflet: January 26, 2013 - Leafs at Rangers

this'll be my very first leafs-related post, so some pre-amble.

i'm not going to post about every game i watch, just some of the more notable ones.
as a leaf fan of nearly 20 years now, i tend to catch most of the season, and i won't be overloading
[redacted] with tons of leafs news, just a bit as i see fit.

last night, the leafs rolled into new york city to play the rangers, hot off the heels of a 7-4 flub against the islanders at the ACC.

i'm certain you wonder why i didn't chose to cover this match as well?
i find the islanders insanely boring, and i fear contracting dipietro's boneitis through my television set.

so come on then, hit the jump, and we'll talk about the game that was.
