I didn’t mean to go in this hard on Matthews but he needs to be so much more for this team than what we’ve seen so far this season.

The time has come to learn whether the guy who scored 40 as a rookie while centering rookie Zach Hyman and rookie Connor Brown will still be able to score without Mitch Marner

Is this thing on..?

When you're hot, you're hot. #Leafs prospect snipes top corner from almost the goal line for his 26th goal of the season, and his 8th goal in 8 games since being traded to Flint. What a shot.

Excited to see Quillan get a look with the Leafs. I wrote about him in yesterday’s Maple Leafs Prospect Roundup over at @tlndc.bsky.social: t.co/a5hMnn7GWW

It's funny, @nickrichard.bsky.social and I were recently talking about how underrated Quillan has become as a prospect in Toronto's system. Pretty sure he mentioned he was well thought of within the org, and now here we are!

Elon Musk: Why isn’t there enough water in California? Grok (burning through an entire lake to generate an answer): Wokeness

Give Joe Woll the belt before he even gets off the ice

Matt Knies on fire. Great feed by Rielly.

We're back this week to provide the multiple layers of analysis that our listeners have come to expect

Max Domi has made a few strong defensive plays tonight. Not exactly what he’s known for.

The Leafs are extremely fortunate to be hanging around in this game

Mitch and Auston pick up Timmins big time

Conor Timmins get ready to learn press box-ese bud

John Tavares has been as steady on the rudder as it gets

Leafs just submitted a new contender for their worst period of the season.

Truly pathetic stuff from this Leafs power play

If Ryan Reaves must come into the lineup, I hope he at least does what he’s supposed to and causes some chaos.

Quick thoughts on another disappointing WJC for Cowan and Canada, plus notes on Holinka, Hildeby, Chadwick, and more. My latest for @tlndc.bsky.social:

First goal was a stinker but Hildeby was otherwise outstanding tonight. His best showing in the NHL, and a well deserved win.

Suspension incoming for Domi

Pacioretty has put together quite a hit reel through the first half of the season

I hate that so much for Jake McCabe. Great soldier sticking up for his guys as always, hope he’s alright.

I really like this fourth line

Alright, Hildeby has made amends for the first goal.

Dewar can’t buy one

A goal and two assists, a bunch of strong plays along the boards and in his own zone, and a couple of healthy runs at Marchand. Top line combined for 12 points. Nice to have Auston Matthews back.

I’m so impressed with Mitch Marner not forcing that pass to Knies and securing the empty netter

That’s a real pretty hat trick for the first of Matty Knies’ career.

Hatty Knies!

Pretty excited to watch Auston Matthews play hockey tonight, you guys

Still a small sample size at just 115 minutes together at 5v5, but the pairing of Morgan Rielly and Philippe Myers has been good. They’re at 54% xGF and nearly 57% of actual goals scored when playing together.

This has been one of Max Domi’s better performances this season, if you ask me.

Maple Leafs Prospect Roundup: Cowan & Holinka at the WJC, Hildeby named AHL Player of the Week

I’ll be joining @snsalli.bsky.social to chat Leafs on @sportsnet590thefan.bsky.social at the top of the hour

I like it better when the Leafs are the ones that get elite goaltending

Don’t look now but Bobby McMann is scoring at a 28 goal pace

Really nice hesitation from Domi to set up McMann. Makes up for putting one in Robertson’s feet earlier in the period.

Save of the year candidate from Thompson on Nylander. Holy.

Third line sagging way too low, but Murray should get across and make that save.

@ejmichele.bsky.social look away from that replay…

Don’t see the Leafs come out flying in the second half of a back-to-back like this very often. Impressive start.

More like Connor Due-ar, amirite?

Nice road win coming out of the break to bump the two-game skid

Hahahah that stuff never happens for the Leafs. Robertson deserved an easy one.

Felt like the Wings had the puck quite a bit in that period but the Leafs still gave them nothing

Imagine not having Mitch Marner on your team
