I’m (45f) a couple days late but how come nothing was done about the hit / cross check of Draistl on Matthews’ ribs? It’s pretty obvious on video.

Us night shift and construction folk need somewhere to complain and exclaim.

Or is it a me problem?

Marchenko falls backwards awkwardly bending his leg under him, he immediately got off the ice then tested it again for 14 seconds before leaving the game. I will try to post the Gif.

Buckle in fella. Just please leave Cowan alone

Nylander already has 3 40 goal seasons at 30. All players with 6 are in the hall of fame. And most with 5 are in. So if he puts up 2 to 3 more strong seasons including this one. He will probably have a decent argument. Especially if he plays longer to pad the stats. So what do you think. Will he make the hall of fame?

Really encouraging to see Domi skating after what was assumed to be a potentially career ending injury. Glad he's doing better.

I’ve never liked Rogers much, but making hockey fans pay an extra $25-30 each month to watch Monday night hockey is ridiculous. Guess I’m watching the ball game tonight instead.

Dramatic wins, blowout wins, and a first career game-winner for Gavin McKenna. This was a memorable 4-0-0 week for the Maple Leafs, with plenty to talk about.

If hockey is just a business, then why doesn’t Scotiabank offer the opportunity to watch the game on the jumbotron when the Leafs are on the road? (I know this is a long shot) Make it free admission, first come, first serve, and all income is generated from concessions and merch. In some capacity, more profits on off days at Scotiabank could balance the books and potentially create an opportunity to reduce home game ticket prices? Just an idea. Lets discuss. Don’t rip me apart . I am not a finance bro from the lower bowl.

No secret the boys have looked faster and more energetic this year, and made me wonder whether their training and physical preparation has been better managed. Also wondering how much impact the depth is having on taking the physical load off the top line guys. Or is it more the new hires and not having dump and chase corroding their souls every night? I’m not and expert and happy to be schooled on these questions.

The Leafs are confidently winning the Matthews’ minutes again, scoring over 60 percent of the goals in five-on-five minutes. They outscored the Oilers 2-0 in the 11-plus minutes that Matthews’ crew went head-to-head with Connor McDavid and Draisaitl on Saturday.

It’s also worth noting that Matthews has been going about his business in a less physical manner than before. He isn’t throwing as many hits or absorbing as many himself as in his peak years. He is blocking fewer shots and executing fewer takeaways.

What this all points to is a player, in his 11th NHL season, after two turbulent, injury-riddled years, evolving and finding new ways to dominate.

I’m sure no one has been saying it recently with out win streak. People still say it though

The team save percentage is top 10 in the league

Stolarz has a percentage over .900
Bobrovsky is just under .900

Yes both goalies have had bad games but those happen and defence can be put to blame for most of it

Honestly, I feel like it’s less about our current tandem and more about the 2 goalies we gave away (Woll, Hildeby)

People need to shut up saying “Why did we trade Woll”? “Hildeby was our future”!

On Hildeby, remember who we have as our 3rd string… the Calder cup mvp Artur Akhtyamov. Now Artur hasnt proved himself at NHL level yet (I’m sure he will get chances), but he is dominant in the marlies. DONT FORGET HILDEBY GOT US PAUL, and he has been killing it for us so far and he MIGHT be our new 2C even if JT comes back (most likely goes back to line 3 but idk)

On Woll, Now I feel like Chayka just didn’t want Woll and wanted to dump him, the 2 guys we got back in the trade aren’t on the team anymore (Ersson to Ottawa shortly after, Andrae in the Marchenko deal after we got Blakenburg)

It’s clear Chayka wanted an experienced goalie in our tandem who yes may be old, but he can kill it at often times, and he’s our guy in the playoffs!

Bob’s contract may be a little high but honestly who cares the cap goes up soon anyways.

MAIN POINT: Our goalies aren’t a problem and the goalies we gave away aren’t a problem. And Akhtyamov is a very good 3rd string incase of injury

Anyways, Calgary tomorrow we move 👍👍
