Toronto Maple Leafs center David Kampf has won gold at the 2024 IIHF World Hockey Championship in Prague, helping Czechia win gold for the first time since 2010.
David Kampf will be the Toronto Maple Leafs’ lone participant in the gold medal game of the 2024 IIHF Men’s World Hockey Championship after Czechia beat Sweden 7-3 on Saturday.
With the Toronto Maple Leafs out of the playoffs, there still is news to report about current roster players. Three Maple Leafs centers, David Kampf, Pontus Holmberg, and John Tavares, are playing at the World Championships.
You expect it at this point. It's the start of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, so it's time for the Toronto Maple Leafs' potent regular-season offense to disappear and for their players to panic in the glare of the postseason bright lights and do inexplicable things on the ice.
What does David Kampf do? The short answer is “frustrate you when overtime starts.” Given that we’re switching into playoff mode soon and 3 on 3 faceoff Kampf can’t hurt you anymore I’m going to attempt to expand on that answer.
With two weeks to go in the regular season, the Toronto Maple Leafs and Florida Panthers battled it out on the ice in Toronto for the third time this season and the first of two meetings in the next 16 days as both these teams get prepared for the playoffs, which could feature a rematch between the two Atlantic division rivals.
A while back our editor in chief was so good to remind me that referencing song titles from the 80s in headlines that aren’t living on a prayer is generally a bad idea.
For better or worse the trade deadline is now in the rearview mirror and while the results of the effort or lack thereof won’t fully be known until the after the last playoff game, the moves made by Brad Treliving and Co.
It’s been an iffy homestand thus far for the Toronto Maple Leafs record-wise, going 2-2-0 against Vegas, Arizona, New York, and Boston. However, for the first time since their embarrassing 9-3 defeat in late December, they will be hosting the Buffalo Sabres, looking to get revenge while snapping a three-game losing skid to them.
Toronto Maple Leafs forward David Kampf took the ice for the optional morning skate on Wednesday as his club prepared for a game against the Buffalo Sabres.
After a soul-crushing loss to the Bruins, the Leafs hit the ice for practice but with one notable absence: Sheldon Keefe told reporters that David Kampf’s illness leaves his status for tomorrow’s game against the Sabres up in the air.
The NHL trade deadline is less than a week away and Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving isn’t finished upgrading his roster. There continues to be a focus to find another defensemen and likely a depth forward for the middle-six.
The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired a familiar face from the Anaheim Ducks as right-handed defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin will make his return to the blue and white.
So help us all if Brad Treliving tries to portray Joseph Woll and Calle Jarnkrok as his key trade deadline acquisitions. That’s not to say that their returns
Despite losing their best defenseman to suspension, the Toronto Maple Leafs went 5-0-0 in Morgan Rielly’s absence, and they welcomed him back into the lineup as they continued their four-game road trip into Vegas last night to take on the Golden Knights for the first time this season.
David Kampf may be the most logical forward to be moved by the Toronto Maple Leafs by this NHL Trade Deadline. He has a cap hit that the Maple Leafs could move to allocate the money to other areas, such as defence.
I’m not even sure if Calle Jarnkrok had hit the LTIR before he had lost his moniker to Pontus Holmberg. Holmberg seems to be the next in the line of “any line, any position” players that Sheldon Keefe relies on in order to keep the majority of his lineup card intact while working through injuries, slumps, and suspensions.
The Toronto Maple Leafs announced late on Friday that they have called up defenseman Max Lajoie from the Toronto Marlies. In order to make room for the defenseman on their active roster, the Leafs moved David Kampf to the injured reserve.

Marner set the new record in the second period of Saturday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. With the Leafs on the penalty kill, Marner initially got a chance off a poor turnover in the Lightning’s zone but didn’t get the goal until a few seconds later when David Kampf set up Marner in the slot for the one-timer goal, giving the Leafs a 1-0 lead in the game.
When David Kampf was signed by the Toronto Maple Leafs before the 2021-22 season, many Maple Leafs’ fans wondered why. Why would the team take a chance on a player who was considered so valueless that the Chicago Blackhawks didn’t even see fit to qualify him?
The best thing about David Kampf is that, although he’s not glitzy, he’s highly effective. He helps the Toronto Maple Leafs win games; and, he usually does it behind the scenes where most of us as fans don’t see it.
