I wouldn’t have gone with Stolarz, looks rusty and off, but the team in front of him, knowing what’s at stake & wanting to have a great game against your former teammate, it’s a lacklustre effort. Looking at pucks, not moving feet, poor back-check, it’s embarrassing #LeafsForever

New @thehockeywriters.bsky.social: The #LeafsForever missed out and probably dodged one with the Andersson deal. Pivoting to Dougie Hamilton is a good fall back option. My latest here: thehockeywriters.com/maple-leafs-...

With a top name off the trade board, the Toronto Maple Leafs can pivot to Dougie Hamilton as acquiring him would be more realistic.

Don’t look now, but Matthews is quickly rising the goal leaders board. #LeafsForever

HOLY HELL WHAT A PASS FROM KNIES TO MATTHEWS!! #LeafsForever
January 7, 2026 at 1:42 AM
Maccelli won’t get a point, but a great heads up play to quickly re-gain control leading to the Knies goal. Also, Troy Stecher continues to be an excellent addition. #LeafsForever
January 7, 2026 at 1:39 AM
That’s a textbook first period. Great looks in o-zone, strong defense not a whole lot of dangerous chances given up and matching their physical play. #LeafsForever
January 7, 2026 at 1:21 AM
Cowan at his finest. Turns on a dime to evade a check, joins the rush and finishes off a nice passing play at the front of the net. #LeafsForever
January 7, 2026 at 1:17 AM
Has the #LeafsForever grit finally showed up? Matching the intensity and physicality from the Panthers.

Ekblad upset over a clean hit. Love that Domi is just laughing while fighting. #LeafsForever

No goal, but a couple of dangerous looks including the Matthews breakaway. #LeafsForever
