After Kapanen's last game. I was hoping for more from him tonight. He really didn't stand out for me at all.

Not bad for a bunch of inexperienced kids who had never really played much togather. It was a good chance to show what they could do. The Leafs weren't great but obviously better and more experienced. The game was enjoyable. Laval is going to have a very good team.

I saw a lot of good things tonight. Lane is a monster even on the right side...what a player!! He's on a different level than the rest of the prospects. Kid just always wants the puck and he's so comfortable with it. Tuch should be in the lineup. He's nasty and has real man strength. Liked Beck's game too.

I loved Beck's game he is obviously NHL caliber. I would like to see him with two NHL players.
He's more physically ready than Kapanen IMO.

really liking what I have seen from him, way premature hot take but I can see him being your top scorer by 2026-27
Hutson is 162 lbs and he’ll definetly make the team this year.
Secondly, remember that time we met up in the playoffs for the first time in 42 years and we came back to beat you from a 3-1 deficit?

I don't (as a Leaf fan for 30yrs I can memory hole anything) but Pepperidge Farm does lol
I think Dvo has now entered the Anderson level of "I can't bare watching him play anymore". Hopefully he gets some decent production and faceoff stats early season so we can ship him out for reasonable value by Dec.

The Flyers roster was much weaker than tonight's Leafs roster. The Leafs will probably have a weak roster for Saturday’s game. Then the competition should increase with the cuts coming over the next few days
Yup you could see that with a couple of tweaks using NHL players we will be fun to watch.
They definitely tweaked it.
We got hemmed a couple of times but nothing like we saw last season particularly in the second.

Had guys like Reaves on the forecheck pretty bad there in the 3rd, even at 180 he’d be Hutson ketchup if he doesn’t play sticks and rolls around. He’s got us all worried but then the team looks so much more dynamic soon as he’s on the ice. I have not seen him get hit hard yet… Hoping he survives for sure lol

He's not 150 that was just Sportsnet being clueless, like when they said Hutson was a 1st round pick.

Other than being spectacularly unlikable, Dvo is tradable and 100% NHL material, trading him shouldn't be a challenge. It's a matter of what kind of value they want for him.
To talk more about Habs "new" defence, wasn't as good tonight as the two previous games, but they still kept the Leafs on the board most of the night and/or forced them to take perimeter shots.
Despite the difference in shots, Dobes only saved one goal above expected (xGF/xGA score is 3-1 for the Leafs).

Man that lineup was thin, like wafer thin.
So when should we expect a trim? Gotta make a significant cut by Saturday night?

We need a Tuch in our lineup his checks are heavy and hard and he knows how to use his frame properly.
It may sound stupid but there are a lot of players who don't know how to throw a proper check.

Absolutely, not that I think he played badly. I was just hoping for more.

Lots of young turks.
Beck did not impress you, but he was a master at faceoffs against a real NHL lineup. He’ll be recalled for good this year.
Oh! DVo showcased? Just a thought.

Our young D got walked a ton tonight, but that's what happens when the vet in the mix is Xhekaj with like 100 games of experience.
Hutson looked good. He got run a couple of times, especially by Reaves. If he makes the team, we'll have to watch that closely. I thought Engstrom played decent despite the brutal play that led to Robertson's goal.
Reinbacher had a tough night, especially in the first. I thought Barron was pretty bad too.
On forward, no one really did a whole lot.
Dobes was fantastic. I don't watch a lot of Laval but I'll be keeping a close eye on him.
