This is a team that shows it is built for playoff success. A good playoff team needs defense to win. And, as the saying goes, the best defense is a good offense.
At this point, it is clear that the Leafs have the league's best offense, hence the best playoff descent. Matthews on pace for 246 goals
I also think it has a good degree of toughness this year, which I think is necessary for success.
Bertuzzi, Reaves, Domi, Knies and McCabe seem to be providing some grit.
I'm especially liking Bertuzzi.
Matthews seems much more animated than previous years.
It's only been two games but Marner seems a little off, and Nylander (the locker room cancer) is looking strong. Nylander is doing a better job of driving to the net.
Ottawa fans maybe should worry their own team.lol.
Leafs appear to be offensive juggernaut this year. Not so sure that's a plan for playoff success but time will tell.
I completely underestimated what Ryan Reeves brings to the table. Knocking a guy like Goudreau on his ass screwed them up for a bit. Basically took Faligno and Goudreau out of the game for a bit. Not to mention, you have to think Gaudreau would be weary if Reeves was on the ice again during one of his shifts.

Leafs fans have suffered enough! They need a cup. Toronto is the most important hockey city. Hope the Leafs, or Oilers, can make it all the way this year and truly hope that would end Betman's control of the league. We need to get that anti-canadian out!
I've heard that he's forced them to make bad trades, not draft or develop well, overpay their stars and hire bad coaches. Fuck Bettman.Yes, it's Bettman's fault that the Leafs haven't won the cup in almost 60 years.
Don't get me wrong it's not his fault. Yet Bettman's focus always was to sell the game to americans. He took all the revenue generated from canadian team to try to make a team in arizona, fort lauderdale or other obscure US town where no on fucking cares about hockey.Yes, it's Bettman's fault that the Leafs haven't won the cup in almost 60 years.
The MLS will soon surpass the NHL as a major sport league. Because the put franchise where people care about soccer. That's it.
Yes, it's Bettman's fault that the Leafs haven't won the cup in almost 60 years.
Has nothing do with Bettman at all lol, the reason why ? They more teams now than 60's 70's,80's and the 90's.
It harder chance to win the cup now .
Leafs are badly managed too over the years too, it takes a team to win the cup not just star or couple of stars players to do it all
Matthews is one of the best goal scorer currently in the NHL, he will finished atleast the top 5 when he retires
Now teams are starting to get scared to face the Leafs at Scotiabank Arena. Will Reaves lay a hit on Bedard and how will Foligno and Perry react?
