Tavares has 322 pts as a Leaf. 78 pts short of 400 with the Leafs. Morgan Rielly has 394 pts.
Tavares has played 329 games as a Leaf.
For comparison his stats for the most recent 5 seasons as a NYI is 378 games 372 pts
His 4.5 seasons as a Leaf 329 games 322 pts.
He's producing points at the same rate as his prime years as a NYI.
Leafs for the last few overtimes have put some thought into strategy and set plays.
Kampf to win the faceoff to gain possession. If he loses faceoff he's out there to defend.
That goal by Marner was the exact same play made by Nylander.
Picks up puck at own blue line. Both other Leafs stay out of the way. Blow by forward defending and sweep puck past goalie.

Marner has become unpredictable to opposing teams before teams knew Marner would be passing, Rangers players were waiting for Marner to dish it off or circle around back the net, they didn't expect Marner to cut in front of the net. It looked like the Rangers just stood there.
Samsonov is 14-0-1 at home. That's a tremendous stat, Ullmark territory.
Unless Murray is able to develop a glove hand Samsonov looks to be the guy.
Overall for goalies who have played more than 20 games:
Samsonov is behind only Ullmark in GAA
Samsonov is behind only Ullmark, Hellebuyck, Oettinger, Sorokin, Gustavsson (19 games) in Save Percentage
Murray
H 4-1-1
A 7-4-1
Samsonov
H 14-0-1
A 2-4-1
Murray has a winning record both home and away and has played twice as many away games than home games.
Perhaps if Murray played more home games his record and stats would reflect better.
With what Samsonov is doing at home though it may just be better to go with the sure thing.
On the other hand Samsonov has played twice as many home games than away games and has a losing away record.

Samsonov was the only one who showed up. He deserved better.
Murray was suppose to start. Perhaps he saw this coming as well.

Let's start a rumour.

I haven’t seen any Patrick Kane hockey this year…I’m curious as to why he’s having the worse season of his career by a long shot…has he slipped that fast?

Man that was sweet...Leafs played the Sens game and got out skated from what I could see.
Toronto was lucky they didn't get a few more past them.
Big win for DJ Smith and the Ottawa faithful. The fanbase has wanted his head for awhile now. This will keep them at bay for now.
Leafs didn't look like they wanted this game bad enough.

IMO It would be a huge mistake to trade Knies for a rental who’s a 34 year old ufa forward. Surely Kane or Horvat will add potency to the offence but I don’t think you can win without a defence that can withstand the extra physicality and intensified forechecking of playoff hockey.
When the goaltending is good to great the Leafs look excellent in the regular season but I‘m still seeing a defence that can be overpowered and intimidated into making mistakes. Holl and Benn are the only two who are strong enough and are willing to engage in physical puck battles, but Holl doesn’t always make the right decision in tight situations and Benn is 35 and no batter than a 3rd paring guy. Giordano is great but he’s 39.
If Dubas is allowed to go all in and use Knies as a trade bait, I’d hope he‘s looking for a younger top 4 d man who can play a physical style, protects the net front and still has more than a few months left on his contract. I don’t who fits that bill is available but I‘d rather he sits still than makes a move only to lose more valuable assets for a first round knockout.
There’s no question that the Leafs’ top four forwards are among the best quartets in the league and I like what I’ve seen from Bunting, Jarnrok, Holmberg and Kempt. I think the offence is good enough to compete. They can always add more depth but the priority should be on upgrading the defence for playoff hockey.
The calibre of talent on defence is just nowhere near the offence. Rielly is the highest paid d man but he’s just average on defence and ineffective on quaterbacking the pp with the lack of a lethal point shot. The depth have improved with Liljegren and Timmins but top end talent is missing. The goaltenders will need to have tremendous performances to give them a fair chance in a series against the likes of Lightning and Bruins.
