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

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!

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

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.
