New on @hockey.bsky.social: The Leafs look to bounce back tonight against the Islanders. Just eight players who played in their last matchup against each other in April are playing tonight - and one of them is playing for New York! Game Preview: faceoffcircle.ca/2026/09/30/l...

Leafs Gameday: Long Island, Short Break - The Faceoff Circle

How an NHL team starts its season with a back-to-back is beyond me, but if anyone is going to do it, it may as well be the Toronto Maple Leafs. It could be exactly what […]

Live posts will be scarce for the Leafs game tonight, the U18 VK team I’m still helping out with this year also has their season opener. Around first the first few minutes if the ceremony isn’t too long but that’s it. Shouldn’t miss too many throughout the season though, and watching when I get home

The act of sports insiderdom has taken a beating across the board in recent years, but no one is more egregious at being a spin-launderer across the big sports than Fab. Integrity may as well be a curse word there

One thing I want to try to do is use @hockey.bsky.social to promote a whole variety of people doing work here, not just link to my own blog. Who do you follow in the hockeysphere that's regularly linking to their own articles / multimedia content? And yes, you can nominate yourself.

I do think they probably ran his texts through an LLM and it hallucinated crimes. That’s scary and bad and it’s funny they got caught, but imagine how many other times this happens on a day to day basis against people with no rights, let alone the ability to publicly humiliate the AI prosecutor.

New on @hockey.bsky.social: My look at the Maple Leafs' blockbuster trade this afternoon, which sees Toronto land (and extend) a star talent in Kirill Marchenko, finally trade Matthew Knies after several near misses, and all sorts of other sub-mechanic faceoffcircle.ca/2026/09/28/m...

Maple Leafs Make Blockbuster Trade With Columbus Ahead of Roster Deadline, Acquire and Extend Kirill Marchenko - The Faceoff Circle

Clock is ticking with NHL opening night roster submissions due in about twenty minutes. Lots of talk about the Toronto Maple Leafs trading Matthew Knies beforehand. Thankfully, this sort of situation has never gone awry for anyone involved before

Thinking of doing an accountability post before opening night. Any Leafs / NHL / other hockey questions that you want me to answer in it and revisit the outcome on in the spring? If I get some good ones I'll pull a few of the best.

I took a look at a rookie on every NHL team to watch this year. Not all of them will start the year in the NHL, but could end up making some noise when called upon: www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/one-roo...

One rookie to watch on all 32 NHL teams in 2026-27

From future NHL stars to young guns trying to carve out roles, these are the freshmen worth keeping an eye on.

New @hockey.bsky.social: The Leafs have either waived or directly assigned 25 players over the past 24 hours - six yesterday, 19 today. Here's the full list, who might get claimed, and some surprising names who avoided the cut for now: faceoffcircle.ca/2026/09/24/l...

The league has a billion beer sponsors and even if they didn't, we're talking about a guy whose nickname is literally Juice, so he has some plausible deniability as to what's in his (groan) air drink. Seems dumb as hell

Said in the preview that I was curious how the McKenna-Tavares-Nylander line would do after a flashy but unproductive first preseason game against Montreal Leafs with them on the ice at 5v5 tonight: - 16-2 shot attempts - 9-1 shots - 1.3-0.1 expected goals - 2-0 actual goals

2104

Jeff Veillette @jeffveillette.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Leafs A team up 2-1 after 1. Great period for the Nylander-Tavares-McKenna line in particular, who had some skill flashes in the first game but struggled to control play. Raddysh probably wants the Stutzle goal back, but preseason 🤷‍♂️ Like Nick Paul so far. Can I forgive him for 2022? TBD.

One of the reasons I think this went viral even in queer circles is because everyone has seen this dynamic play out in some form in our spaces. We need a better way to root out toxic people utilizing the language of liberation in narcissistic and sociopathic ways to dominate spaces.

Understanding that we are rightfully doing our best to not give Win Butler credit for anything, just listened to Funeral front-to-back for the first time in a while and the list of better albums to come out in my lifetime is unfortunately still shorter than most of us would like to admit

My cousin's really caught the Oasis bug lately, and he brought up Married With Children today, so I sent him this. Christmas after your debut album, front and centre on BBC Radio and you rip five b-sides and an electric version of the outro track. Incredible set www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W8c...

I've been tasked with making the playlist for a birthday lunch for my grandmother, which seemed inexplicable to me until my brother said "it's because if mom or our aunts/uncles make it and she doesn't like it she'll complain the whole time, but she won't complain about her first grandson"

Not ideal! Recap (both games) and notes (mostly from the home game) within.

Jeff Veillette @jeffveillette.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Pretty good first period for the Leafs in the home game. McKenna looks very slippery and willing to play at his own pace. Matthews is skating better than he has in a long time. Someone please tell Darren Raddysh that he doesn't have to sell out for shot blocks in preseason game 1.

It's weird because like, I think Arctic Monkeys turning into Alex pretending he's Codeine Sinatra is one of the greatest sins in the history of popular music, but also TBHC and The Car are still very good albums in their own right. Just wish they were side projects and that they still made bangers
