2020-21 Maple Leafs Thread

I think we are realizing that Marner is one of the leagues best players.
Dart does not think so. He gave a mic dropping speach.

Just when Ottawa was planning the parade, the Leafs bounce back with a 2-1 win.
And cap it off with a rout. 5 out of 6 points is good in any three game series.
 
3 goals in 15 games prior to tonight. 7 of those 16 points came on pp.
Those 7 points still count though, right?
Assists must have some value, no?
Some1 needs to get the puck to the scorer, unless he's lugging it all over the ice (I'm lookin' at you, McJesus).
 
Question.

Is the Leafs improved play due to better ice, they're not sharing the arena with the Raptors. The games I've watched on home ice look much faster than they did in the past.

I think they have more jump in their step, there's a good energy, they seem to be tightening up as a group, more life on the beach.
I also think Keefe's systems are playing to their strengths, they're aggressive on the forecheck, better structure on defense.
I think they've bought in, they want to play for Keefe. Babcock cast a long shadow over the guys.
 
Doing well, but wait til they have to play against the big boys - Boston, Tampa, Vegas, etc....

....well, that would be a good thing.
If the Maple Leafs are playing any of Boston, Tampa or Vegas,
that means they've made the Stanley Cup semi-finals.
 
Just after Matthews and Marner had a big night, McDavid responded with 6 points and a hat trick ! We’re fortunate to have the top 4 scorers in the same division going toe to toe.
 
Matthews is now tied with Gary Leeman with 176 alltime Leaf goals. Leeman scored 50 goals in a season. Matthews would have if it weren't for the pandemic.
 
Yes, but will Matthews sleep with Rielly's wife/girlfriend?
You would have to admire his taste...

Aim high.

Who amongst us wouldn't?

Oh man I remember that. LOL - great game last night - these buds are for real.
 
I know most people on here are Leafs fans but do you guys really think that Marner is a better player then McDavid. I actually like Matthews more then Marner but think all three are great players. Last thing I have been incredibly impressed with the play of the Leafs this year.
