B2B wins is nice

Woll was good, 3rd line was good (mostly)

Didn’t like the core 4’s game, but we won so I won’t be too harsh.

I liked Steeves game, he created a few chances from the fourth line.
Willie looked good I’ll say that still needs to be better though ffs he needs to play center its the position best suited for his skillset like f****** light bulb go on already
 
The Domi line was good. Woll solid. Tanev and McCabe solid again. I liked the 4th line. Glad to be back in first.

BUT

There were some concerns. PP 1 completely ineffective. Marner and Matthews have the Nations hangover. Tavares with his second terrible game.

AND

What are we going to do about Rielly? What was he doing on that 2nd Chicago goal? Why Berube had the Domi line with Rielly on to close out the period I don’t understand. If it was Keefe he would have been vilified. Be smarter in games that matter please.

I would say 85% of the pieces are there. For a strong playoff run.

They need a couple of deals and a rework of the top 3 lines. It needs to be spread out.

Agree but how Tavares with marner Matthews with knies Willy with mcmann? Good start
 
Nice to see a win... Chicago's been brutal to the Leafs, add the travel on a back to back and it seemed like a letdown game.

Great start for the depth guys coming off the break.
 
Good game, time to go a run. Steeves excellent again, I like him.

Benoit ain’t it. Dunno what happened, he was pretty good last year, but he sure is a pumpkin now. Can’t play in the playoffs at this rate.
 
That was a botto, 6 win vs a bottom tier team. Is it too early for the Bedard is not him discussion? Probably.

Well done. Sketchy start, but once they got going they were fine. PP1 is gross though.

Haven't played near as good as they can, and two wins. Woll solid.

I like it.

I think it's safe to say Bedard ain't no McDavid.

The hype around that kid was something else. Seeing him play he's obviously a very good player. And he's still young so lots of time to get even better.

But he's looking more Taylor Hall than Connor McDavid.

Remember when the Oilers traded Hall for Larsson. What an uproar that one was. But they made the playoffs the following season for the first time in ten years.

Proving that you can give up the better player and still end up a better team.

The Leafs can afford to take a downgrade on Marner if it means upgrading 1RHD. Furthermore a culture change is desperately needed. And when you're among the anointed on a team you bear the most responsibility for that team's culture.

God on skates isn't McJesus in that regard either.
