Congratulations on the win guys.
I'm amazed how good Harding was, considering the sickness. Been rooting for this guy for a long time, so it's great to see him seemingly take another step in his development.
I like to research teams in depth, but I admit I didn't see Fontaine becoming this good. He was very noticeable throughout the game. Where did he come from? Is his play a surprise or has his development been so steady over the years?
Pretty hard to discuss the game without the Kadri incidents. Having looked at them another time I hope Kadri gets a game or two for the Bäckström-run despite what it does to our center depth, that was really ugly. I'm still undecided on the Granlund hit though. I think if Granlund is upright that hit is fairly basic.
The one thing I do know is that whatever happens, whatever the results of this is, Granlund CAN'T skate around with his head down like that. He has the potential to be one of the most exciting players in the game, you don't want that ruined as a fan of NHL hockey. He is eligible to be hit with Leaf players nearby, he needs to worry about his safety first and puck whereabouts second. Thankfully he seemed ok.
Once again, congrats to the win and good luck in the future. You got so many guys I really like that the team is finding a place in my heart.
