I think more and more players are beginning to realize that playing in Toronto is a good thing. Lou set a standard for professionalism which Dubas has maintained, while adding his personal touches that include: attempting to do right by the player when things don't go as expected here (Leivo, Lehtonen), his concern for a players' well being (Mikheyev), putting a player into a position where their efforts can succeed (Galchenyuk). Of course there are other examples, but as an organization the Leafs are showing the league that a player, should he come to Toronto, will be treated well and professionally. This approach will bear fruit.
Post-Game Talk: Jack Campbell is a Toronto Maple Leaf. Leafs win.

Just finished watching the game. We dominated these losers.
Also, goodbye Frederik, hello Jack.

i never said he wouldnt be "fine" here. but given the past 3 years hes more likely to end up that galy then the 30 goal galy from mtl. regardless, hes a better version of vesey at minimum so im not unhappy hes here no matter what transpires.
i still think we should be trading for a top 6 winger though.
we have that top 6 winger,,
now lets get some D depth so Marincin is not the 2nd name on the D depth charts
lets find someone who might be a OK ish 2nd C if one of the big 2 goes down,,Like Eric Staal

Tbh, I've started to care less about the Rocket and all these individual awards.
Just hoping for Matthews to get back to being an impact player, doesn't have to score every game tbh. I'd like to see team play well and they go strong into the playoffs.
Team success will always trump the individual awards for me.
I know the individual awards are sexy especially on this forum board, but meh.
I didn't have that thought. My thought process was: "There's not even a rebound for Andersen to save there as he gives up that goal on the weak point shot itself"

well thats the thing, we prob pick up somebody who plays wing and can slot in a center if need be, aka a top 6 winger haha. really nylander can play center if needed..i think hes a better center than winger personally.
Teeder Keon
Defeat does not rest lightly on their shoulders
I like seeing that from him
I get that, fair enough, Submarine LONG gone. Early 90'sish. People out west wonder why I like visiting Toronto so much other than family and friends. More to it than that. I love walking in High Park Toronto islands is beautiful, the Tower over looking a Jays game is neat. Niagara falls a quick trip down the highway etc.
Just love his attitude. Constantly tapping his D shins to let them they did good
I didn't mind Gally. He's definitely better than Vesey. He needs more opportunities
I would put him with Spezza instead. Spezza could use a finisher

i lived in calgary, banff and lake louise when i was younger. loved the mountains. calgary was cool too...spent alot of time at cowboys haha
When we are talking about a serious cup run ,,you want those 1000+ games of experience there(surrounded by young fast legs Gal/Willy),,not some guy who probably does not have 25+ nhl games in that spot
and if Engvall and his limited experience gets owned in the POs,,you have ES to fix that.
I really like the idea of a #2C injury replacement that has been there,,done that and maybe with some fast legs/with skill,,Galy/willy , he stands a chance at a rebirth,,kinda like Spez on the 4th line.
Staal would not be a tire fire replacement,,,i'm not sure i can say that about any other players we have
and they hate us. Believe me. Everytime i've gone to a Leafs game here, its been a great time though, they drop their little "six-ty se-ven chants" which we drown out with GO LEAFS GO!!!
Only benefit, is I get all the Leafs if I want every regular season and playoff draft.

Yeah, I am sure it gets rowdy there when the Leafs are in town.
yeah, I know they hate us right back. Just go to the Main board here... lol.
Damn, loved the Submarine. Swear I saw it in the late 90's (still remember buying a Leaf's jersey there shortly after we signed Cujo)
You missed my edit, this is just fans talk, if you enjoy Edmonton, that's all that matters. It's just not for me. I've seen Calgary, Drumheller, Pichers Creek, Banff, Jasper, and Edmonton. I'm a city kid, it was entering a different universe.
