McCabe on the blueline again! Great move, love this depth!

If Holl was just standing still its fine. Watch the replay on youtube a few times and you will see that Holl moved purposely to impede the forward momentum of the opponent. The whistle sounded and then Tavares shot the puck.  If he did it in a less obvious way without that direct impact he may...

Its disappointing, it was a great shot by Tavares, but I heard the whistle clearly on TV, so when it went in I knew it would not count right away. Im sure it was loud at ice level. Sucks but it was the right call.

I'd say no, a win is a win.  It was a good 3rd period effort.

And this all without Mikheyev, the King of No Finish, which is remarkable.

Missing Bogosian too - but moreso Hyman. Both gave it their ALL every night.  We could use that right now.

Joe likes playing with Brooksie; he made that clear in post game and I think thats the reason.

I think you have to go with Freddie in a back to back situation.  If you don't, what is that saying to him...he worked hard to get in shape and here is where you would play him.

When I was a kid, Wed night games at 8 was the normal routine. Its nostalgic!

Agreed, he would do well to be on a lesser team like Detroit and get a regular spot.

I totally agree LK.  I love the thought of having a Thornton who takes it hard to the net but I don't think he has that in him anymore.  Instead he dishes it along the boards.  He still makes some great passes and must be tremendous in the room.  But with that huge frame you just wish for a few...

So, the eternal question in this situation.  Is it smart to play the goalie against his old team because he knows the shooters? Or not, because the shooters know the goalie.

Looking forward to seeing how his grit adds to the overall chemistry.  Maybe he will do a Foligno leap for his first Leafs goal!

Sportsnet says James Neal will likely slot in for his debut tonight.  I see he had covid-19 IR protocol since Jan. 12. How long is the required time off, assuming he was negative?

I would say very similar in 'value' in terms of production and both being left wing, we really need both. 

At McCown?s request, there will be no fanfare or tributes during his final shows, Sportsnet said.

Agreed, I'm going to withhold judgement and see for myself.  Possibly a new environment shakes him out of these examples in the article.  If he is as bad as described, he will be in the pressbox especially when Dermott is back.

Nylander deserving any kind of bonus is laughable. I realize it's contractual and only in the real world do you get a bonus at your job as merit based.  I hope this is prorated at least for the months he did not report.

I don't see the need to identify the actual player, I get what he is saying and tend to agree with it.

I think a lot of this hinges on how otherworldly Matthews really is.  If you could go back in time and offer 4 first rounders for Gretzky, you would do it.  So I would say to the Leafs, pay him whatever necessary that this doesn't happen.
