News dumping this immediately after a win is WILD Don't love it. Mehta leaning so far into the nerd-talk feels like him taking all the pressure for Hellebuyck, basically making it his call and his fault if they lose. But going this extreme makes me feel like 37 doesn't want it.

The #Leafs are in trouble. There are injuries, but their overall play as of late is extremely concerning.

He’s right. As of late, the veterans have been making majority of the mistakes leading to goals against. #Leafs

Tanev on guiding McKenna after the turnovers tonight: "It’s on the veterans to play better. It's not on an 18-year-old." #Leafs

Initially, this was a team that looked like when things were getting rough, they kept fighting. Now, whenever they get momentum, they always find a way to lose a game. These are costly points being wasted and this will hurt them big time. #Leafs

Hiller not fully benching McKenna after his two mistakes and then scoring a goal is the ultimate, “Go out there and earn a chance to redeem yourself” moment. #Leafs

That 4-0 stretch where things were looking up felt like a lifetime ago. Now the #Leafs are playing like they did last season and no 1st to help them out.

They clearly haven’t done so. #Leafs

The #Leafs have a good break to figure things out before their next game. Another game where you lost valuable points, you weren’t ready and were forcing mistakes constantly. They should know better by now, but even with a new roster, they haven’t learned their lesson.

Stecher should not have been penalized there. Caufield stopped up and turned while Stecher was going for the hit. Also, how nice that the refs missed a crosscheck by Xhekaj on Cowan🤔

Somebody on the team better lay into them for that first period effort. #Leafs

The #Leafs aren’t skating, turning it over too much, losing every battle and positioning. Horrible start.

That was a bad turnover from McKenna. #Leafs

Carolina Hurricanes' Logan Stankoven in 2025-26 had 21 goals in 81 games, then followed it up with 11 goals in 19 playoff games. 18 games into the 2026-27 season, he's already up to 11 goals. Are we witnessing an elite breakout year? @TheHockeyWriter 🔗: thehockeywriters.com/hurrica…

This kid answers everything pretty much perfectly. Still think he should be on PP1. But when Marchenko comes back, having McKenna, Cowan, and Roslovic on PP2 should give them two dangerous units.

McKenna: "I'm 18. There's a lot of guys in this team who've been in this league for a long time & know how to play PP. When you see a guy like John come on & take your spot, you're not too butthurt about it ... even being on a 2nd power play in the NHL, that feels pretty good"

A couple of decent performances doesn't change the fact that the Senators can't continue with their current goalie duo of Sam Ersson and Jonas Johansson, and not even Linus Ullmark's return can fix this mess. #Sens thehockeywriters.com/senator…

The season is still young, but the Senators can't rely on their backup goalies, and that could do serious damage to their playoff hopes.
