Thought Anderson played great not a lot of rebounds, glad to see after 3 bad games in a row.

Nylander is showing his true self looks like a 75p guy, Tavares missed a bunch of shots but looked great and Matthews looked great.

I liked kerfoots game had a lot of speed and that great shot. Marner was decent.

Surprisingly didn’t hate marincin for once.

Happy New Years and hope for the continued success in the new year!

I think folks are really learning that raw numbers/production are not as impactful in contract negotiations as initially thought.

Nylander's camp was pretty god damn adamant that he could do a hell of a lot better than 61 points. Babcock can reek havoc on your production if he doesn't like you. Even if you aren't in his doghouse, he just wasn't a coach that players could blossom under offensively.

Don't understand what your statement has to do with anything but we are very clearly a much different team under Sheldon Keefe. Small sample size but he's already gotten these guys to do the one thing Babcock never could; consistently compete. They look like they're having fun out there again and it shows in the creativity of their play. We are getting to the point in the season where teams are beginning to tighten up and the fact we are playing so well is really encouraging.

In short, thrilled with Keefe so far. He's made this team a team again and a damn good one to boot.

Yeah I completely agree. I was mocking the opinions of the main board.

Totally agree. Since 2019 ushered in the Leafs looked like a listless, disinterested team that wasn’t much fun to watch. Now I look forward with breathless anticipation for the next game. They might be one of the most offensively entertaining Leafs team in their history.

Excellent win after a great run.

Love the Keerfoot-JT-Nylander line right now. Matty just keeps on trucking ey?

Im still concerned with Reilly - not sure what the hell is up with him.

View attachment 300657 Gonna leave this here before month ends. Babcock supporters and Dubas/Keefe haters on here went back into hiding and just waiting to come out if we lose 2 or 3 in a row.
Leave that there all you want, seriously what do you want? a medal?

Yes Keefe has turned this team around no question, us Babcock supporters get the point already but seriously, we can tell Babcock lived rent free in your head. Maybe you might want to look into moving on as a new years resolution for 2020. At the end of the day, We all support the same ******* team no matter who the coach is.

13-4-1 we get it. Thats a great stat. Now beat the guys we're chasing like Boston. Lets beat them or get past them in the 1st round. Focus on the bigger picture not hte continuous "I'm right you're wrong" **** that I see in here all the time.

Much needed type of win after giving up 16 goals against in the last few games. Settle things down and keep rolling.

Let's do it again tomorrow.

Also Nylander has been playing some inspired hockey since moving to Tavares' line.
