  • Details emerge about Matthews' injury that kept Leafs star out of playoffs

    The Toronto Maple Leafs' 2024 playoff run began with all the familiar feelings of postseason hockey: a little bit of hope, but mostly dread, fear, and a 24/7 anxiety enveloping the city. Midway through Game 4, Matthews was pulled from the ice after 40 minutes by the team doctor, before eventually sitting Games 5 and 6. While Matthews returned for Game 7 and registered an assist on William Nylander's game-opening goal midway through the third period, Toronto ended up falling 2-1 in overtime. Speaking to the media today for the first time since the season ended, Toronto general manager Brad Treliving added more details about what was ailing Matthews earlier in the series.

    Auston Matthews' Ted Lindsay Nomination Outweighs Hart Trophy Snub

    Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs did not make the cut for the Hart Memorial Trophy on Tuesday (May 7) but was named a finalist for the Ted Lindsay Award on Wednesday (May 8). The competition for the NHL's top awards was fierce in 2023-24, with several worthy candidates, so there were bound to be some head-scratching omissions. Despite being among the snubs for the Hart Trophy, Matthews' inclusion in the Ted Lindsay Award chase, with Tampa Bay Lightning winger Nikita Kucherov and Colorado Avalanche centre Nathan MacKinnon, is much more significant than a mere consolation prize.

    Sheldon Keefe out as head coach of Toronto Maple Leafs

    TORONTO -- The Toronto Maple Leafs have fired head coach Sheldon Keefe. General manager Brad Treliving made the announcement Thursday after the Original Six franchise lost to the Boston Bruins in seven games in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Keefe had a 212-97-40 record over parts of five campaigns in Toronto, but was just 16-21 in the post-season, including a 1-5 series record. Despite finally getting the organization over a painful playoff hump last spring when the Leafs advanced for the first time in nearly two decades, Keefe was unable to keep that momentum going.
