Game review and notes as a dominant second period was enough for the Leafs to beat the lowly Canucks. Notes on Dakota Joshua's debut, a nice bounceback game from L4, Chris Tanev's return, Jack Roslovic's 6 game point streak, and more: mapleleafshotstove.com/2026/…

Rather quietly Dakota Joshua has been really good in his debut. He worked the walls really well and generated a lot of zone time - he has 5 shots on net and 7 hits! Can say what you want about him, but he's a real NHLer and the Leafs haven't been dressing enough of those lately.

“Caring is cool. Nonchalance is a cop-out. Pour your heart and soul into what you love. You don’t get unlimited chances. Try hard. Give a damn.” A central theme in The Way of Excellence: bit.ly/4uCzeQ7

Five goals against on 17 shots, another five-penalty night, and a late comeback wasted. @APetrielli breaks down a frustrating loss in Seattle, from Bobrovsky’s struggles to Nylander’s underwhelming 5v5 play and Hiller’s in-game decisions👇 mapleleafshotstove.com/2026/… #LeafsForever

A cold splash of water to the face after four straight wins: The Leafs dug themselves a hole, couldn’t finish the comeback, and lost Marchenko to injury. Game review + post-game notes after a tough night in Calgary ⤵️ mapleleafshotstove.com/2026/… #LeafsForever

New Leafs Notebook up - On a 4-0 week, a team starting to gel, and plenty of reasons for optimism. Including notes on weaponizing the Leafs' speed, elite special teams, Cowan's big impact, a fourth line finding its identity, and encouraging signs at 5v5: mapleleafshotstove.com/2026/…

Clever play on the wall by McKenna here, dipping his shoulder as if he's going to beeline to the puck, then stopping higher up the wall to create space to breakout cleanly. He's giving up a lot of size and weight right now, but he's crafty and starting to find his way in battles.

21-5-2 against the Oilers in the Matthews era. 12-2-1 in Edmonton. This one might have been the best of the bunch. The Leafs roll to a 7-2 win, with all four lines scoring at 5-on-5 to cap a 4-0 week. Game review + post-game notes via @APetrielli 👇 mapleleafshotstove.com/2026/…

MacEwen absolutely earned that celebration!
McKenna on the celly: “We did it in college and it was like if someone did something cool or they're like a beauty, then you do that. I started doing it here with the guys, and it's pretty cool to see it catch on” Said it started in training camp. Case closed folks 🫡

Think everyone is expecting the Leafs PK to regress (it would be impossible not to, they are even in goal differential so far!), but the PP has a real chance to legitimately just be this good. Their top unit has 5 real weapons that can all score, and Hiller's a good PP coach.

I'm sure some are disappointed that Ben Danford isn't up, but this is the right call to let him keep developing in the AHL. It's still October! To say nothing of making his debut in EDM on a Saturday night would have been quite the ask. Mermis has been a solid veteran depth dman.
Toronto has placed Marshall Rifai and Nick Blankenburg on IR. They've also recalled Dakota Mermis and Cole McWard from the Marlies. #Leafs
