Thank you everyone for not jinxing it 🙂

Leafs are undefeated this season with McMann in the lineup. Please nobody jinx anything.

Okay so of course people will be complaining about how Leafs have so few regulation wins, but here's the silver lining: We want a team that knows how to be clutch in the playoffs instead of "shambles in our brains" in the playoffs. If nothing else, playing all this overtime is teaching them to...

As much as the Leafs have a rivalry with Florida after the playoff series last year, Bertuzzi was also eliminated by them and might be emotionally invested at the same level as the rest of his teammates because of that.

With Lagesson + Benoit doing fine & Liljegren returning... Not a bad time for Giordano to go on IR. Keep him fresh for the playoffs since we know he won't do that on his own.

Klingberg flawless GA, and +1 on the night. Sitting Reaves seems to have magically cured Klingberg's injury as well...

Yeah, and the last time Gregor scored, it was also (coincidentally?) without Reaves on the ice.

I thought the same at first, but then I noticed that if we rewind just a few seconds earlier: When Kadri passed the puck to Zary (leading to the weirdo shot), Reaves whiffed on what I assume should have been a routine pass interception, leading directly to the goal. Also, does Reaves not...

Positives after one: They've gone back to Kampf+Marner to start kills (and Auston taken off altogether) and the PK looks more solid now Reaves is ?1 but that's expected. All other lines have a clean sheet. Even the D-pair (Rielly+Brodie) that got dinged for Reaves goal-against are back to +0...

The best part about Domi is that Keefe isn't afraid to demote/bench him. With Kerfoot it seemed like he was always being promoted for no reason. He even played one playoffs on the first line with M&M.

It's only been one regular season game, but Klingberg was on the ice every time the Leafs scored a goal last night.

So if Jones gets called up, say, in December to fill in? does he need to clear waivers once again to go back to the AHL after that?

100% agree. The tricky part is that goalie performance requires a large sample size to avoid jumping to conclusions, and based on recent analysis https://twitter.com/IneffectiveMath/status/1638556996898045956 a full season isn't even close to enough to characterize a goalie (let alone a few...

Jones has been beaten 10 times in 2.5 preseason games, but 6 of them hit the post/crossbar.

Robertson's 20th shot of the preseason finally goes in. Thinking more about wingers who always took a lot of shots without scoring, but still created value as regulars on the team: Is Robertson better than Engvall? Is Robertson better than Mikheyev?

Samsonov with a clean slate is a good omen. Only two periods and it's against AHL-caliber shooters, but it's something Woll & Jones haven't been able to do so far.

In terms of pure offence, Timmins is better than Sandin. Liljegren also played his best hockey when paired with Sandin; I wonder if Klingberg is in fact injured for some stretch, they'll run Timmins + Liljegren together for some time. It would require someone (Rielly?) to move to RD though...

Ah, maybe I should have said "losing their spot to the salary cap". (Klingberg apparently trying to help out with that too 😉)

Timmins 2pts, Lafferty 2pts? you can tell who is scared of losing their spot to a rising prospect.

Klingberg hasn't played since the first TV timeout, I think. Edit: Looks like https://twitter.com/dalter/status/1707169782510805432
