It appears you jumped the gun on this one.
McCabe played all of 10 seconds so they were shorthanded on D all game.
They let in 1 goal against Dallas who had no regulation losses prior to this one.
Granted Woll was fantastic again but the D did look better.
Have to say though whenever Reaves is on Leafs are stuck in their own end.
I think the Leafs defense looked better without McCabe. Sometimes 5 defenseman works well they all get plenty of ice time and they get into the game.

I don't think they looked better because it was 5 D. They looked better because McCabe just hasn't been that good so with him out it brings up the average. Quite frankly Holl is probably better than McCabe. McCabe is -4 this year. Worse of all Leaf D. Holl is +7 leads his team.

Every team in the Atlantic Division has at least 4 wins.
Leafs and Montreal tied for 2nd both have 5 wins.
Boston still without a regulation loss. Vegas also.

The Atlantic Division has been the top 4 of TB, Boston, Leafs, Panthers since 2018 aside from 2019 where Montreal beat out Florida for 4th place.

The Leafs lost to LA Kings 4:1 tonight. Why are we still paying those 6 Leafs forwards $10 millions each? Why are we still paying Austin Mathews big bucks, as highest paid player in NHL? These guys should get a pay cut for losing like tonite. I expect them to be eliminated again if they make it to playoff.
Raptors are no better. Masai Ugerie should be fired, not Nick Nurse.

Because that is what they agreed to?

Really??? You think 5 years removed from bringing this city it's first championship in 25 years doesn't earn him a bit of leash? What's your expectations of pro sport executives? They should win a championship every year?

FYI, Nick Nurse had totally checked out. He needed to be fired as he didn't want to be here anymore.

Anyway, lets leave this thread to the Leafs as there is another thread for Raptors

I'd really like to see what another coach could do with this team.

Good for the fans for booing the team after the second period.

Agreed. Kings played well and Leafs didn't play particularly well. Hence the result.

Leafs played a good game vs Boston. Sammy's best game of the season, too bad the Leafs lost in a crap shoot. I know it's been 10 games but Domi and Bertuzzi kind of suck.

One thing still hasn’t changed with this team, they don’t stick up for each other. Nylander got ran into the boards in the other game, no one did a thing. Liljegren got seriously injured by a dirty player and no one did a thing. Adding just one tough guy makes no difference.
