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

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

Five goals, and none from #34 or #88. The Leafs' depth stepped up, the fourth line delivered twice, and Stecher played hero after a potentially crushing late goal against. This offense is rolling, even if there are still a few things to clean up 👇 mapleleafshotstove.com/2026/…

“There is so much passion around the city for the Leafs. I’ve really tried to embrace that. I love being a Maple Leaf. It feels like you’re playing for something bigger than just the 20 guys in there. It’s really special.” - Folk hero Troy Stecher to @markhmasters after the GWG

Two goals against tonight stemming from offensive zone faceoffs, for the Leafs -- has been a lowkey issue all season. Keep getting burned up ice on situations that should not be dangerous at all.
