And Holl still hasn't been on the ice for a 5v5 goal. What in the world is going on?

This is as dominant 60mins as you can get against a team like the Pens
Liljegren is one of my favourites.
I think he looks like a Viking. That’s what I call him. The Viking.

Their most complete game of the season. The overall team defence has been outstanding. Lily and Sandin have really improved to the point they’re both top 4 defencemen. Even Holl has been playing really well. The top 6 scored, the bottom 6 hustled their butts off. And Kallgren, solid and calm in the net.
I wasn't really worried when Rielly went down. I figured the blueline would be fine - better defensively actually.
And that is exactly what's happening.

Pittsburgh's one goal is on me. I apologize.
For a moment I thought Kallgren is getting a shutout.

Holmberg has had really strong underlying stats and now is starting to score. He's quietly been really good and I think he probably sticks in the lineup permanently.

Solid team effort, props to Kallgren who held the fort down. Be nice if Matty goes on a terror now. And the backups on defence, can’t ask for much more than that. Go Leafs!!!

probably not going to be a popular opinion but I'd like to call it the "Liljegren effect"

I think I've been the most impressed with Liljegren. Missed camp and the start of the season with the injury but has quickly gotten up to speed and playing such a quiet, effective defensive game moving the puck well
What a player they've developed

We did the same thing last year, but this year we don't have to worry about Covid-19 cancelling all of December and forcing the Leafs to come back off a month's break and start from cold again.

If I can be frank, I haven't been impressed.with Reilly or Brodie in the few games I've watched this year.
The problem.is that Reilly may sometimes feel the need to create due to his role and contract and it takes away from his D. Along the boards he is strong, Brodie is great on the outlet, but they both seem deficient from.past years. Maybe just the games I've seen or my own bias.
Gio brings a serious "do what we need to win" attitude,.which Muzzin and Bogosian (yes, I bring up his name) also brought to this team. It's infectious. In my generation it was Rouse and Lefebvre who brought this approach and it was a very big deal in those Leafs runs.
So, even with the injuries I haven't been as concerned. Now that Dubas picked up Timmins, unless a great opportunity presents itself, I believe their need is some hard nosed Gamers in the bottom six.
I'm not saying I wouldn't try and find a Muzzin replacement if he isn't coming back because the playoffs are a different animal, but simply giving Gio many more minutes when all are healthy would alleviate most potential worries.
