So far so good, 1 - 0 lead after 1, nice PP goal

Love the kids+brother line. Love Steeves for Reaves. Love Woll in. As good as Stolarz has been, this is our starter. The way it should've been. Nylander+Nylander? Berube will make us wait, but he will deliver. Imagine being excited about a game against Utah, in November.....Leafy things! Enjoy folks!

I'm glad they're playing Woll tonight. Wednesday is all about a statement win for Stolarz.

Do you believe.

There should be no excuses..they've had a few days off they should be ready from pick drop

I’m taking the under

Say what the fuck you need to say zack, jesus christ, on and on and on. Holmberg at 2nd center very sketchy.

How brothers have both been drafted 1st round i know a few

As a leafs fan of 20 years this is our year guys

What's with the rainbow coloured stuff on the boards?

Yea Samsonov was a bum still is a bum but it is the system there playing this year compared to last year berube is going to take this team deep if they stay committed like this in playoffs but we all know an epic playoff meltdown is prob on the way lol

And hes still missing the net, looking good

Horrible take bud. Nurse having his head up is IRRELEVANT. It’s the hitters responsibility to adjust the level/height of his hit to the opponents shoulder/chest height. Sometimes that requires bending your knees to match the height. Reaves did not do that. How do we know that? Because he hit nurse in the head. I don’t care if an opponent is short, or reaching forward, or bent down, etc. The hitter must adjust his own height/level to match the “hittee’s” shoulder/chest height. This is very simple. And has nothing at all to do with Nurse “protecting himself”. Players take hits to make a play all the time. He probably knew a hit was coming and was willing to take it to make the play. If Reaves simply bent his knees and went shoulder on shoulder/chest, it would’ve been an awesome, hard, legal hit and nobody could whine about it. If Reaves can’t bend his knees anymore, then he needs to retire. Btw, I’m not an Oilers or Leafs fan. Also, this “principle point of contact” standard that’s used is a joke. Players wear weapons on their shoulders and elbows nowadays (part of the problem) and just because they graze an opponents shoulder on their way to a head shot does nothing to prevent brain damage. Keep hitting in the game. Nothing better than seeing an opponent get rocked. But the hitter MUST bend his knees to make a level hit to opponents shoulder/chest. This is a simple, common sense standard.

I love tough, hard hitting hockey. But the league sucks at making the rules clear on head shots. “Principal point of contact” is a horrible standard. Players wear weapons on their shoulders and elbows nowadays. Grazing someone’s shoulder on your way to a head shot is a joke. Here’s a very simple, straightforward standard for hits: -The hitter must adjust the height/level of his hit to make contact with “hittee’s” shoulder or chest. If the hitter is unable to lower his hit to the height/level of opponents shoulder/chest and as a result makes head or chin contact, it’s an illegal hit. This solves the problem and is a clear, easy to understand and enforce standard that will keep hitting in the game (as it should be), and prevent brain damage. What is crucial is that the hitter must bend his knees or lower his body for the hit.

If he can sustain this game ovver an 82 game season AND playoffs then he's worth the money. History points to he cannot sustain all this ice time and have an impact in the playoffs

Figures the next day A Nylander gets an NHL contract

Hard hit. It's not a dirty hit. Knies head hit the ice, which is very unfortunate.

it was a clean hit in my opinion and there was no head contact

reeves is just a dirty player and deserved more then 5 games and leafs fans are just salty

Love it when your #1 goalie shits the bed and your gm does sweet puck all about it. Hmm sabotage the team much.

Ok I respect you Rosie but explain how this is a penalty then? …. The two hits are pretty comparable Macabe gets Eyssimonts chest first then his head but this was still a penalty so why did Whitecloud get no penalty?…McCabe hit on Eyssimont : kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWTHkqqQatyAa7sfeature=shared

Nurse is a meathead that holds grudges.. im sure Reavo will make sure to deal with him next time they meet

What happens if the defenseman stays in the crouch he was in, as he closed the distance, through contact? He misses Knies??? Wrong! He throws a solid body check, and separates Knies from the puck. From that crouch, at impact, Physics/inertia lesson aside, he is basically on his toes. Still in that crouch, zero intent. Tiptoes? Some intent to hit high. BS decision. The league is either protecting heads, or they are not.

Jay, Nurse got blindsided! Enough already! 😊

People still watch the Leafs😂

That Nylander NHL contract Leaf-It didn't age well......lasted 5 hours.

If the body is hit first the head goes forward, if the head is hit first the head goes back. Unthoughtful take.

C'mon Rosey, get yer head on straight, Reeves reputation proceeds him, he's a goon and we all know it, well except you I guess. Reeves has one job and that's to hurt the opposition.

If nylander was asking for 14 mil... Then that point is valid, I take Nylander at his money and skillset over Marner at 14 mil

Nylander isn't asking for 14 mil either

I watch lots of videos on this I tube and wow is this guy a idiot

It was an awesome legal check.I am a Leafs fan and I thought nice frigging hit.Knies did the same thing a bunch of times and ran people over,this time he got caught.

My worry for Tavares is him playing hard all season and having nothing left for the playoffs. Really, I don't care how much players are paid, I just want healthy team for round 1.

You're an idiot You don't know anything about hockey.

He will be a Hall of Famer ...enough said

No bad players only bad contracts

Sam Reinhart makes 8.6m. So Marner shouldn’t make more than 10. Marner does more than Reinhart aka PK and 200ft player. Marner has a way better +-. So 10M-10.5. If he plays well in the playoffs. But Marner gets them into the playoffs. Hard to replace someone like that when they walk. even if you have cap. space. Nylander is great but Marner is a totally different player. More responsible and less turn overs.

penguins reject lol he's a bum 😂

Another big reason is having two goalies bringing their A game every night. I remember screaming at my TV a lot more with Samsononv in net last year.

Don't forget that reaves actually went to the Edmonton dressing room to apologize to nurse face to face.

They’re dropping like flies because they’re not used to playing this style but it’s good for them to get used to it during the season so they toughen up by the playoffs

I'm sorry, but I disagree. It's not because I'm a leafs fan. But when you see the players head recoil first, starting either at the head itself or even the neck area, that's a high hit. If the chest is hit first, then the head as a result of the whiplash, and then I understand. If a guy is skating low with the puck......I dunno, lower yourself. I dont know what to say because knies was stating low, but it's still a hit to the head. That's what this debate is about. Look at shorter players? I'm not saying they're unhittable, but find a way. I don't know what that would look like, but by this standard, saying "he's basically not eligible to be hit" is basically saying that shorter players have to accept that they're going to be hit high more often.

Head shots are now legal for all players is what you are saying…. all players… might come back to bite you in the ass…KARMA has a funny way of showing itself

Nurse seems like a hard guy to like…always seems sour or complaining agree with Rosehill here.

The Leafs have played solid hockey in their first 20 regular season games, even though the injury bug has ravaged the team! Berube is getting the best out of his current roster, an instilling his style of hockey. The Leafs are bigger, grittier, and heavy too play against, than the past 8 years? Reavo should have hit the body, and not the head. Nurse should have had his head up! Referee calls inconsistent, a major concern. Tre, has more moves and/or trades up his sleeve, to make the Leafs a true Stanley Cup contender, next year. GO LEAFS GO!!!!

Get rid of Mathews, he’s not playoff calibre and we’re close to having a real team now.

Next time Reaves put him threw the boards at least he has an excuse to complain.

WTF? Are talking or throwing up Running around head hunting Because that's all he's capable of doing Give your head a shake Einstein

Lets see what Alex provides, to the Leafs?

This idiot actually brought up trading marner at the trade deadline lmfaoooooo The good news is these guys are actual living proof that anyone can do this job.
