It's actually pretty incredible after all the rookies that came in last season and earned spots 2 more good players force their way on again this year with Dermott and Johnsson.

Finally having a proper feeder system is paying dividends.

Best part is... Liljergen, Borgman, Rosen, Bracco, Engvall, and Grundstrom are with the marlies right now and looking good. Pipeline still has a lot in it, and the Leafs didn’t part with their first this season.

my prediction for next game is kapanen will get a goal

If hockey gods smile on him as much as they’ve shunned him these first theee games... he’ll win it singlehandidly.

I said the same thing earlier. Kadri could do a lot with Kap and Johnsson. They need some growing, and he can show them how to play that two way game with an edge. They may not have as much of his edge, but they definitely have more of the 2-way aspect than he did at the same age.

Lol, that would be a pretty sic third line. Leave Plek centering Patty and Marner as the shutdown line, then Bozak's line gets 4th line duty. Between the Kadri and Bozak lines, they're bound to produce some secondary scoring.

Yep and essentially a full rack of picks, extra 7th and no 6th but still. Hunter should be able to keep the depth rolling this year. Grab a center in round 1 and dman in round 2. Or BPA, after the Dermott pick in Hunter we trust.

Marleau, Andersen with huge nights in a Leafs win.


Apologies to UG and Max, for ruining their nights.

Pluckanits his game was worth a 2nd.

Game 4 put an A on Kadri and have him center the 4th line.

Nylander made a nice pass to Matthews.

Pleks was great as a shutdown guy.


Poor Max and UG

Moore had the 4th line buzzin'.

Every line was. That was a great team effort.

We’ll get one or two more sleeper Swedes thanks to Bergman.

UG is gonna look at the stat line for the game and it'll take him a half hour to realize the leafs won. The score is the 83rd stat he checks.

Kadri is out until Game 5.

Can't count the tequila's I have had either.

Yes absolutely. Shanahan having Russian connections too, having competent management is such a fantastic change (sorry Burkie)

Boston outshot Toronto, right? So they basically lost.

Kadri is out until Game 5.
- Steven_Seagull

Which they just ensured they’d get to play.

Kadri will score the series tieing goal, and the series winner back at home

I think the narrative that we can't live without a third line centre is crap

Kadri will score the series winning goal, on the PP, after Marchand gets a penalty.

Toronto out hit Boston which means we're playing into their hands and lost.

I think the narrative that we can't live without a third line centre are overrated.

As long as we have Bozec

The guy just needed a reason to play well

He was playing on a team he hates on the 4th line 9 mins a night

I think an important role helped him a lot.

True. Most of those hits by the Leafs shouldn’t even be considered a hit, more like a bump.
