WASHINGTON–If the Maple Leafs ultimately miss the playoffs by a point or two, a position they find themselves in this morning, they can look back at this embarrassment as the night the dream died.
The Capitals, tired and replete with minor-leaguers, were supposed to play the Washington Generals to the rested, Globetrotting Leafs. They were, after [...]

OTTAWA–Those Maple Leaf special teams were anything but here last night.
Toronto’s misery on the power play was matched only by an equally miserable performance on the penalty kill, a double dose of futility that paved the way to a 5-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators at Scotiabank Place.

Leafs 3, Capitals 0
Darcy Tucker is slowly making his way back into the Leaf lineup. But he’s quickly making his presence felt.
