these kinda starts is what scares me. they come in take it easy and before you know it you are down a few goals. In the playoffs against good teams it won't be easy to tie the games or get goals back.

Gotta f***ing start on time

If Leafs remembered how to play D at all like earlier in the season and Campbell could stop a puck... Jersey I don't think looks very good at all. It's the Leafs shooting themselves in the foot again. Please just take over here... 40 solid minutes and no bullshit.

Earlier season Campbell played out of his mind. Even the games we won we played bad D
I remember the game against LA, they had 3 2 on 1s

Alright, you got out of the early nightmare... Now you have 40 minutes to get Matty his hatty and get this game back under control.

Need that second line to get into this one.

Said to Mrs koho before the game that Mitch was good for a 4 pointer tonight, which is good news for Matty

A sloppy, but somewhat entertaining 1st. Hughes can fly. Good to see Mrazek come in and shut it down. By no means our best period, but satisfied to be down only by 1 after the way we started.

Like I said "more time in the cooker"... AKA, he needs to be replaced in the lineup before the deadline, and he needs to go back to playing big time minutes with the Marlies for another year. It looks like he's going to take the more traditional route to becoming a decent NHL defenseman, coming into his prime at 25-26 years old. He's simply not ready at 22 and that's ok. Not every guy is.

Look at a guy like Mackenzie Weegar in Florida. At 22 and 23 he was still with Portland and Springfield. He played his first full time season in Florida as a 24 year old and he contributed 2 goals and 8 total points on the season. He was better as a 25 year old and even better as 26 year old. He came into his prime 2 years ago, at 27. Now he's a stud... But he wasn't even sniffing the NHL at 2022.

Liljegren reminds me of Weegar, both in terms of play style and trajectory. He's going to be good, but they have to stay with him.

He does not need more time with the Marlies. He needs a chance to make mistakes at the NHL level, and lets not pretend like this has been a persistent issue either. He has been great a lot more than he has been bad, and he makes fewer glaring defensive mistakes than Sandin.
