Basically shut down or mitigate the one line, and you’re good to go

Anyone do a wellness check on the broadcast crew?

Great win. 7-4-2 has to be on the high end of optimistic results coming out of the gate with all the changes. The team is gelling right now

Leafs Team Stats
3.85 GF/GP is 5th in the NHL
3.08 GA/GP is 13th in the NHL
30.2 PP% is 3rd in the NHL
95.2 PK% is 1st in the NHL
.615 Pts Win % is 12th in the NHL

Given all the new players and new coaching staff changes, those numbers are collectively above my expectations.

One thing I liked about the game (and for most of the season), is the team's willingness to mix it up. There's a nastiness to Paul, Duhaime, Blueger(+ others) that rubs off on everyone else.

Not 100% ready to call this team a playoff lock, but they look good and are actually fun to watch again.

Cautious optimism?

Why is the first goal in unassisted? Looked like a rebound goal.

I think Cowan was robbed of an apple there.

I just rewatched the game and man Edmonton was desperately trying to draw penalties when they went down. A lot of floppy play and every whistle they initiated a scrum and the officials let them do it. Credit to the team for not getting drawn into the muck. Edmonton clearly knows that their butter is entirely made by McDraisatal Bouchard

The defence also seems to be responding to the extra whacks/presence in the crease, which is very nice to see.
