[Deebo]

If I had to bet, Moore for Ennis will be the only will be only change to the line-up other than Sparks getting the start.

Might be Holl coming in for Marincin if Oz is still not ready.

yup.

You're probably right but why not give a few different lineup looks. Leafs have to see what they have in the minors and if they can replace higher paid guys like Brown and Hyman.

your buddy Johnsson...

I mean I don't know him personally, I just think he's a good player and want him to do well. *shrugs*

Morgan Rielly deserves Norris consideration this year because he's no longer playing behind Leo Komarov.

The Maple Leafs as an organization have two mantras:

Trust the Process and its developmental sibling the Aggregation of Marginal Gains.

It's how he's programmed.

Babcock wanted the Leafs to play like a machine.

The Leafs goaltenders so far: (taking into account goal differential)

Total team (expected) PDO:
8.8 (5v5SH%) + [.927] rounding off to 92.70  (5v5SV%) = 101.5

I'm confused.  Andersen + Sparks have played a combined 47 games?

If I had my druthers, I'd swap Brown and Moore too.

Brown is like Hyman so I see the reasoning but I'd def be tempted to put Moore with Marner and JT.
