Good thing for Woll, because Arizona could have won that game. Just not a great effort by our guys tonight imo? We scored on our chances, they didn’t.
We will take the 2 points though.

Good to get 2 points. But what an ugly game. I don't know if they think they can cruise to a win..but
I liked Kneis n Willy tonight.
I thought Tavaras n McCabe were not good. Real bad giveaways by McCabe.
Oh well it's over n we get the points so we move on.

The Leafs were the worst in period 3. I'll take the 2 points. I agree, Tavares was pretty bad. I hope Gio is okay. It looked like he went head first into the board.

I'm listening to the post game show on TSN. Frankie Corrado said the Insider Desk just called saying the Ducks pulled Lyubushkin from the lineup and are supposedly in talk with the Leafs for him.

Lybushkin might be a good add. Leafs seriously shy of RH dmen. Dumba might be good too? All the pundits saying Tre should go all in but where does it stop? Dubas tried it to no avail. I know time is running out on the window to win but let’s not get too stupid trading assets. Let’s see what can be done when JTs deal is up?

TO played like a team that should be looking to somehow make the playoffs, it's these games that I judge TO on, are they worthwhile to go all in on, absolutely not. I didn't keep a running tab on Leaf giveaways in the 3rd but the total would've been astounding. Brodie back to playing the right side, he immediately goes back to his horrible play, Marner, Mattews, Robertson, in all honesty the entire team seemed intent to giveaway the game. That's what we saw last year until Dubie redid most of the d. The redo wasn't enough last year and TO needs the same again this year, Rielly, Brodie, McCabe need to go, TO will not ever be a true Cup contender with these players as the foundation of the d.

There was an update from the Insider Desk just before the post game show ended. Supposedly there is a 3 way talk with the Ducks, Leafs and Canes. Jim T. and Frankie C. said the Canes are probably in the talks to retain part of Lybuskin's salary.

No idea why Bert can't hit an empty net ? ? ?
The goal wasn't needed, but off the post, c'mon.
Boosh is back! Quite the cap gymnastics on that trade...

Luke Fox of Sportsnet is reporting that the 3Rd pick the leafs gave up for Ilya Lyubushkin is the 2025 3rd pick, so the leafs still have their 3rd pick for this years draft.

For once, I got to be the first one to announce a probable trade. I wouldn't have reported it if I didn't think it was practically done. From what Frankie and Jim were saying it sounded practically done. I liked Boosh when he was with the Leafs 2 years ago and wished he had resigned. If he plays as well for the Leafs as he did 2 years ago, he will be a good addition. The report is the Ducks will retain 50% of Lyubushkin's salary and get the Leaf 2025 third rounder, and the Canes will retain 25% of Lyubushkin's salary and get the Leafs 2024 sixth rounder, with only $687,500 going against the Leafs cap. I hope Gio will be okay. When I saw his head go into the boards I immediately thought of a concussion. It could also be a neck injury. I hope it isn't either of those, and he is just banged up somewhat.

Cheap salary with Lybushkin but a 3rd and a 6th for him? I liked him, physical guy but he is not getting us over a hump. He is an upgrade on guys like Timmins or Lagesson. I'm just not over the moon with the move. But he is a decent red.
Good to see Woll back. In a small sample he is our best option in net. Cool as a cucumber in net.
The Knies goal was sick but tbh if he doesn't score that I'm flipping on Marner. Clear Breakaway and he drops it back into a little traffic. It worked but rather not see that going forward.maybe it's just grumpy old me.

Like most I thought it was an ugly game. I believe Arizona should have won the game as they outplayed the Leafs. The 3rd period was a Leafs disaster. If not for a few hit posts and the heroics of Woll it would have gone down as an epic Leafs collapse. I really like Woll and Bertuzzi is growing on me a little bit. Brodie and Tavares were not good as was pointed out. If the Leafs play the same type of game against the Rangers they will get smoked. Things are gonna get tough now as after the Rangers on Saturday next week we get Boston twice and Buffalo as well. Loved Reavo kicking O’Brien’s butt after O’Brien went after him. I also like getting Boosh back as he is not afraid to use the body and the best part is he is right handed. Hope Gio is ok but it didn’t look good. I would think he’ll be out for a while.

Was looking more into Lybushkin. Statistics show one of worst defenseman in league. I don't understand all those Analytics at all. I go with eye test. He brings toughness/chipines. Who knows what to think. I'm sure Leaf scouts know all about the numbers so we just have to trust.

He was also on a bad team. Ducks gave up on Benoit too. Thought Tre had Klingon’s 4 mil to spend? Gave up a 6th just so Carolina ate some salary?
