    Keys to Winning against Montreal

    1. Force them to play defence the majority of the game
      1. Some good young players here but if you trap them in their own zone for long periods they won’t be able to hurt you.
    2. Defensive positioning
      1. Be solid down low don’t let them cycle. Break it up and transition quickly
    3. Powerplay
      1. This needs to go in order for the Leafs to be successful.

    Keys to Winning against Ottawa

    1. Play fast and hard. Stick to your gameplan
      1. Some of Ottawa’s younger players like to play the body don’t let them get you off your game.
    2. Defensive positioning
      1. Don’t take try and come in with the mindset that you should beat Ottawa. Be hard in the defensive zone and keep in position.
    3. Powerplay
      1. Got one last night hopefully that kick-starts the powerplay

     

  • Breaking News: Auston Matthews signs 5 Year deal with Toronto Maple Leafs

    Breaking News: Auston Matthews signs 5 Year deal with Toronto Maple Leafs

    auston
    (Source: The Canadian Press)

     

    The Toronto Maple Leafs have begun their journey to keep their core intact as the Maple Leafs have signed star Centermen Auston Matthews to a 5 year deal with an annual average salary (AAV) of 11.6 million per season.

    Details of the contract are below as Per Bob MacKenzie:

    Look for Mitch Marner to be next and although Marner’ camp has stated they don’t want to talk until the off-season, don’t expect the Leafs to not at least kick tires.

    My prediction is Marner will get 2 offers…

    a short term, probably the same as Matthews 11.5-11.6

    or

    a long term, probably 10.5 for 8 years.

    wouldn’t be shocked to see Marner take the long term contract to help the team build.
