[TheDebater]

Good God, what a player...

But since then Toronto has scored twice, Matthews and Hyman. Game is tied 3-3.

Didnt realize how long we had to wait for the first Tkachuk matchup

Wayne Simmonds is expected to miss 6 weeks with an injury. I wonder how Toronto will do having to face the stretch of MTL, MTL, OTT, OTT, OTT, MTL, CGY, CGY .

If there was ever a time for teams to take liberties on the Leafs players this would be it and these would be the teams in the division most likely to do it. I know the Leafs signed Scott Sabourin but I don't see him as much of a deterrent. It will be interesting to see what the Habs, Sens and Flames get away with and how much they target the Leafs players and how the Leafs team reacts to having its team toughness really tested.
