Hitchcock revives a struggling team again... I have said this before, Hitchcock is my favourite coach. Rather him then Babs... just saying...

Also, what's up with Philly? Another loss... is this all goaltending?

Hitch is one of the greatest coaches ever.

Wonder if we'll keep seeing Huawei on Hockey Night in Canada?

Money over National security...Bettman? I bet we'll still see it tonight.

It looks bad having that advertised and in the background when they speak.

Within tech circles Huawei has always been suspect.

Bracco has been on fire the last 10 games.

Sandin doing well too

I like Bracco.

People did it with kap and Johnnson. Called them busts because they weren’t in the NHL straight out of the draft and because the Leafs can’t have nice things.

Bracco is a solid prospect that has a high chance of at least being an NHLer

While he has a history of tweeting out support for various brands to his 209,000 followers, Tavares told me he wasn’t getting nearly as many requests to shoot commercials during his nine years on the Island as he has in his five months as a Leaf.

“For whatever reason, I’ve had a few of those opportunities come my way since coming here,” he says.

Yeah, I'm hungover, but that sentence hurts my head. So poorly written, it's almost meaningless. I'm assuming you just did a copy/paste from somewhere?

Alexa,

Is Trashpanda correct about Huawei? You don't sell my data right Alexa? Marry me!!!!!!!!!!

At some point, William Nylander will be promoted back to Auston Matthews’ right wing.

While he’s yet to show flashes of Peak Willy and is still looking for his first goal through four games, the newly rich young man has already amassed the best underlying possession numbers among Leafs skaters (tiny sample size, granted). Nylander excels at zone exits and entries.

What will be interesting is how head coach Mike Babcock juggles the left wing piece around the Nylander-Matthews duo. The Patrick Marleau experiment looked better on paper than in reality.

Although Kasperi Kapanen also plays the right side, we’d like to see him try skating on the off wing when Nylander gets bumped up.

Marleau and Kadri can take advantage of third-line matchups and excel in defensive situations.

Since being promoted to the top six on October 7 in Chicago, when he replaced Tyler Ennis, Kapanen has put up 12 goals and 22 points in 30 games — and Matthews is a fan.

“Especially Kappy joining us a couple games in, we all had some good chemistry. We all bring some different things to the table. All of us want to play fast and use each other as much as possible and play in the offensive zone,” Matthews said.

“He’s playing with a lot of confidence. He’s got the puck on his stick all the time. I think people don’t know how fast he really is until he’s blowing right by you. Everybody’s seen that now. They respect his speed, so that gives him and us as linemates more time and space.”

Babcock won’t tip his hand, but he has plenty of time to tinker with the ideal lineup.

“The beauty of it as you get more depth, you can move people around,” Babcock said.

Let’s see what Kapanen-Matthews-Nylander can do, with flyin’ Finn as the first man on the forecheck. Y’know, before they trade him.

Who was a pioneer of the SCS? Huawei. They practically designed everything that made that possible.

Has anyone checked recently to see if that puck from Thursday night has managed to cross the red line yet?

His shot production is up and, from what I've seen of him (which is limited), he seems to be committed to being a two-way player.

Right now he's pretty far down the RW depth chart but that could change in a hurry once big contracts are handed out and players like Brown (and Kap?) are part of the fallout.

Cautiously optimistic in Bracco's chances of being a Leaf in a couple of seasons... but part of me also expects he'll be part of a package deal to bring back a d-man at some point.

"Florida Panther: Species Profile. Once common throughout the southeastern United States, fewer than 100 Florida panthers (Puma concolor coryi) are estimated to live in the wilds of south Florida today."

Welp. Was supposed to end up at a titty bar but ended up at a burlesque bar with no performers. Woke up this morning with blood all over my hands....

Success??

I was thinking that the Leafs fans in FLA will outnumber the home teams fans.

Can't wait to see if the building is as empty as it is on most nights.
