- The Toronto Maple Leafs got their first victory of the pre-season, but did we get a clearer idea of which forwards are making a case for a job in the bottom six? Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti give their thoughts on the Leafs' 2-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens, which had some concerning moments with William Nylander leaving the game and John Tavares limited after a hit. With the victory, Mike and Dave get to hand out their Three Stars of the Game, highlighting strong performances for Nick Robertson, a pair of veteran defencemen and Easton Cowan. Mike and Dave end the show by discussing the tough decisions the Leafs coaching staff have to make, with a lot of forwards vying for jobs in the bottom six and only so many positions up for grabs.

@locked on leafs ... for the love of baby jesus get some decent lighting. Im sick of looking at shadowy faces that make you guys look like youre on your death beds. You have sponsors ffs, up your game fellas
Cowan couldn’t get through defensemen in practice and got easily knocked off the puck by AHLers himself. It’s been reported that Pacioretty and Lorentz basically have deals in place to join the team. Cowan isn’t ready or making the team. He’d get eaten up by the Panthers and Bruins. But y’all keep weaving fantasies because that’s what you’re being sold.
ya cowboy not ready he would best off ahl but cant go so back to the ohl
@@bennieirvine1861 Yeah, AHL would’ve been perfect for him.
didn't see him making the team being the questionable 28th overall pick. send him back down let hunter work on the issues management sees with him and let him play the world juniors and the memorial cup
..none of the 10 million dollar Leafs are players Berube would want...Craig expects his guys to run into the opposition..core dont play that...untenable situation..playoffs are not automatic..
Berube know what he signed up for. He's not stupid. Maybe Treliving sold him on future moves, specifically next summer when the Leafs have a lot of money to play with.
Kypreos going off on Robertson is pathetic. It was an incredibly unlucky play. Sure it was a lazy move but no one would mention it if Willy stays on his feet
To be honest , after watching Nylanderbfor years , i have a feeling he probably thought it was a Montreal player hooking so he took a dive
These guys are very hard to knock down when they dont want to go down , also the love tap to the helmet puts Nylander out of the game ? My god
no shit, if he didn’t get injured no one would care, but he did
Nylander just wanted to be done for the pre season. Saw Matthews chilling and got jealous.
Robo did nothing wrong. Guys do this all the time now and it CAN work. The outcome sucks but the play is common. Robertson's being told to compete at his hardest and he was.
@@Dx-so7jm i love nylander but you are on point. for sure he thought it was a habs guy and then dove
I've seen leaf player's and others do that exact same play to boost their teammates in the past and I always thought it was a good play. It might have been Reilly I believe done it in the Tampa series and it worked.
Willie falling and getting hurt is just unfortunate that's all.
It was a low-IQ play by Robertson. Montreal already had puck possession and starting to turn up ice. Plus, the Leafs had 2 defencemen back. The push made no sense.
@@timlee1794 Reilly did that same push in the playoffs when they played against the lightning and it was a good play, what's the difference?
There is none, only your opinion. Multiple players do that same move to help their teammates get back on defense, if you watched hockey you'd see that.
And if he went back on his own as some have suggested, to get Willie's man and the puck went the other way for a goal against, who's fault do you think it would be then?
It would have been Robertson's fault for not staying and covering his man.
Sometimes making the right play doesn't go as planned, it's called bad luck, and that's all that happened here on that play, bad luck.
It's too bad but it happens.
Nice intro. A bit long
Who would you rather have Kampf, Jankrok, Timmins or Cowan, Robertson, Greboken, and you'd still have money left over.
All of this tinkering isn't going to help when the so called Core Four remains with the Team. It has been proven countless times they don't go far in the playoffs. And whose on goal?
It's Dewar, Holmberg, Lorentz, as the fourth line
They don't really need cowan this year. Let him dominate another ohl season and win the mem cup. Pushing is elc another year is also very valuable to Toronto
Kampf, Jankrok and Timmins are the odd men out
It is nearly impossible to trade a player at this time of the year. You need to put them on waivers.
Yeah let's give Lorentz a shout out
Congratulations of beating the Laval Rockets
Thanks, even with Matthews not playing, Willie leaving in the second period, and JT only playing 12 minutes they still outplayed them badly, getting outshot 34-17.
All joking aside, MTL should be around a 40 win team this year and about a 88pt team, and next year pushing for a playoff spot.
Robertson's mistake was assuming the player in front of him was intent on backchecking hard and would benefit from a boost. If he would have hesitated long enough to view Nylander's number he would have known that impossible.
This was a Robertson game in a nutshell. He has a lethal shot but lacks hockey IQ. He wants to make a name, and get a raise, which means he's too trigger happy and not team oriented. He plays like he's on an island by himself. Berube needs to coach that out of him if they decide to keep him.
Low hockey IQ, he stripped his guy on the back ckeck of the puck, drawed a penalty, and went in and scored the game winning goal, all on the same play.
How is that low hockey IQ? Lol
I thought Berube was going to hold players accountable. I would have thought Robertson would sit the whole game.
How would he strip the puck, draw a penalty and get the game winning goal if he did that?
during regular season when you are not already down a man and the game means something. pre-season pretty much means nothing except having players go through the motions, getting reps in and seeing who fits in where.
