Great win.. McDavid turned it up to 11.. always nice to blow out the Leafs in Toronto .. and on HNIC..
Top forwards were on fire, 97, 29, 93, 18
Podz had a great game.. not best skater or puck skills.. but shows you what a guy can achieve with sheer determination and will.. some other roster players should take note.
I thought Statsney was good.. he and Emberson were sheltered, but his skating looked great, quick and agile.. seemed to be where he was supposed to be defensively all night..
Leafs looked awful.. I can understand now why Stetcher has worked his way to their top defence pair..
Will be happy to see McDavid vs. Matthews in the Olympics.. 34 had nothing going on.
Jarry hung out to dry by his defence on at least 2 of the goals (Bouchard on the 1st goal.. total spectator) .. he made some good saves.. have to say he looks way more agile in the net.. especially side to side.. very early days.. but positive indications
Also nice to hear Simpson and Cuthbert on the call.. even though they are the Leafs home broadcast duo.. it was what a hockey game PxP and colour should sound like.. Jack keeps yapping through the play like he's calling a baseball game and has to keep adding time filler in between the plays.. super annoying
