Leafs 2023-2024 Thread

Martin Jones is not horseshit, he’s a veteran he’s been around and he’s won a lot of games.
 
Matthew Knies is looking like a prototypical power forward, a la Ken Hodge or Eric Staal. I just read surprisingly that his fight last night was his first at any level of hockey.

And after a slow start Jake McCabe has been looking a lot more solid.
 
Maple Leafs are 35-19-2 without Mathews in the lineup since he's been on the team.

Hmmm, perhaps you've found the solution for the playoffs
 
It has happened time and again in the NHL, with their “ best player “ out, everyone else on the team elevates their play and plays with more focus. Hockey is truly “ team sports “. That’s why balance is so important.
 
Leafs are 2nd in goals per game behind only Vancouver.
 
Auston Matthews is gonna score 70…he might break the Gretzky/Ovechkin career record.

If we want to talk about the greatest Leaf goal-scorer of all-time. Matthews is 8 back of Ron Ellis, 41 back of Dave Keon, 65 back of Daryl Sittler, and 96 back of Sundin for Leaf all-time goals. Matthews will pass Ellis and maybe Keon this season and Sittler next season, and maybe Sundin next season too, if not then the season after that. Matthews will likely have 500 goals at around 800 games, no Leaf has ever scored 500 career goals.
