All in all, it was a great post 4 Nations return for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
They won both ends of their back-to-back this past weekend.
Naturally, that’s where the conversation started on the Monday edition of Leafs Morning Take. Additionally, we gave Mitch Marner a shout-out. In case you missed it, he and his wife announced that they’re expecting a baby boy. Future Leaf?
Brought to you by Firehouse Subs, we got into a full recap of the weekend. The big story was the depth pieces and the unlikely sources. When the Leafs are getting secondary scoring, they’re a tough team to beat —plain and simple. Of course, Pontus Holmberg was the star of the show notching three goals and an assist. Meantime, both goalies – Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll – had solid outings. We spent a good chunk of time discussing Toronto’s crease and how it’s amazing to essentially have two No. 1 goalies. Furthermore, it was astonishing to find out that prior to Sunday night, it had been 22 years (2003) since the Leafs had last won a game in regulation in Chicago. That’s some wild stuff.
Additionally, we did talk trade deadline quite a bit. Spearheaded by a comment from our chat, we had a fun debate about Mikko Rantanen, and trying to acquire him if the Canes put him back on the market.
Also, stemming from Elliotte Friedman’s report over the weekend, we did talk about the possibility of Toronto reuniting the Schenn brothers in Toronto. Wishful thinking?
Be sure to join us for the Tuesday edition of Leafs Morning Take (11 AM ET) where we’ll preview another battle with the Boston Bruins.
