https://mapleleafshotstove.com/2017/10/10/leafs-notebook-scintillating-start-october-10/Great stuff from MLHS as usual.What I really want to draw your attention to is the header image, and Bozak's facial expression to JvR's dedication to the safety of his teammates.
You can see his skating is still there, but what is really underrated game is how physical he is along the walls. It’s not hit-and-hurt physical; it is body positioning and using his 6’2, ~220-pound frame to win battles and dig pucks out. You can tell that he has played his whole career in the Western Conference.

If a shake-up of the forward lines ever happens, I'd really like to see Marner play with Marleau and Kadri. That line could really mimic how the Matthews line plays I think. And putting Komarov (or Brown) with JVR and Bozak would add a defensive element to that duo for the first time ever.
At first I was a bit miffed by the refs calling the game like it should be: do I need a cardiac event tonight?But in the clear light of day, I can now safely say, this is a good thing. Because after each PK:Kadri - Matthews - Nylander or Marleau - Matthews - Nylander
On the way to work today I was like "Leafs game tonite? ... no, Saturday."Tomorrow I'll be like "Leafs game tonite?? ... no, Saturday."Saturday I'll be like yeahhhhhhh.
So far the Matthews-Nylander-Hyman line has an expected goal differential of 3.07. The second best line (McDavid) is at 1.84— PDwhoa (@PDwhoa) October 12, 2017

It's so much fun now that the Leafs aren't a horrible team anymore. My kids sit and watch 1-2 periods with me before it's time for them to sleep, then they're excited the next morning asking me who won. Was great the Chicago game cause they went to bed thinking the Leafs would lose but I got to tell them that superstar Auston Matthews won the game for us.I wish the Leafs were this good when I was a kid. :-/
