Preseason: sens @ Leafs - Sept. 23rd, 7:00pm - SN1
- Thread starter CarltonTheBear
- Start date
Game in Toronto has everyone but the 4th line rostered, with MacEwen and Pezzetta filling in there for obvious reasons.
Akhtyamov gets his first chance to back-up Bobrovsky too.

Cowan is back with the main squad, and they're also carrying a full complement of available goons, while the NHL 4th line spearheads the effort in Ottawa
I am looking forward to the real games when we can see the Brandon Duhaime effect on the top 6

Liked McKennas game - every time he touches the puck he makes something happen. He'll only get better as he grows into the NHL game. Knies otoh looks a bit lost out there which is concerning. Also good on the B squad.
Hard to accurately predict what his ceiling is but he demonstrated some special gifts and you could hear the crowd reacting to them. Vision. Speed. Stick-handling. Hockey IQ, etc. 18 years old. Pretty special.

Games were with roughly 50% AHLers against roughly 50% AHLers so we have to keep that in mind.
Though the game in Toronto last night was mostly NHLers on the Leafs except for the 4th line.
In terms of goaltending over the 4 games, I didn't see a bad or soft goal.
Saw some good saves. It is a tough enough position to judge as it is.
Four games against 50% AHLers isn't enough to be very conclusive.
No complaints

Of all the things that happened, I was mostly excited to see Matthews make a little toe drag and rip a shot from the slit that beat the goalie clean.
