Sheldon Keefe on using John Tavares as a primary matchup center: "All season long, he has done a terrific job of managing the game when he is out there"

John Tavares excels as a matchup center with a focus on responsible decision-making and game management.
William Nylander's evolution in the NHL has been marked by increased consistency and ability to be a game-changer.

Sheldon Keefe on the Maple Leafs' strong response win in Florida: "It was a great collective win... The guys did a really nice job of giving them nothing in the third period"

Sheldon Keefe addressed the media after his team's 6-2 win over the Florida Panthers which improved the Leafs' record to 43-19-9.On the team's response after the loss to NYI:
I thought they did a good job.We went out and started like we did the other night.Tonight, we stayed with it.On Matt Murray's performance:
I thought he looked great.

Toronto Maple Leafs Ideal Lines for Game 1 of the Playoffs

The Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Florida Panthers last night on the backs of a two-goal Auston Matthews performance.Though many are quick to excuse the Toronto Maple Leafs recent horrible play by referencing the new players and line combinations, I don't think it's that simple.Without Ryan O'Reilly in the lineup, the Leafs are simply a worse team than they were before the deadline, because Rasmus Sandin and Pierre Engvall are superior to the rest of the players they added.

Game in 10: Maple Leafs manufacture good rebound win in Florida led by their stars and Matt Murray

The Leafs came up with a good response game after their loss to the Islanders led by their star players and Matt Murray, who put up 34 saves and had the type of game you want to see from him at this point in the season.Your game in 10:
It was a sleepy first shift for the 1.Leafs as Auston Matthews started the game with an empty-calorie shift before the John Tavares line went out with William Nylander and Michael Bunting, and they gave up an early opportunity as Carter Verhaeghe got off two shots in the high-slot area.

Toronto Maple Leafs New Lines Could Make Them Unstoppable

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been experimenting with new lines over the past few weeks and may have just found the best combination.Throughout Sheldon Keefe's tenure as the head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs, he hasn't done anything too unique.For the most part, John Tavares and/or Auston Matthews will play with either Mitch Marner and/or William Nylander with a hard-working player on the other wing.

Ryan O'Reilly Could Be The Missing Piece For the Toronto Maple Leafs

It's common knowledge at this point that the Toronto Maple Leafs haven't won a playoff series since 2004.The Toronto Maple Leafs have had successful regular seasons every year since 2017, but have gone 0-for-6 in playoff rounds.In the first round of the 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs, the Leafs were their closest to winning a playoff round in the "Auston Matthews era," leading 3-2 in the series before losing game 6 in overtime and losing a hard-fought game 7 by a 2-1 score to the eventual cup finalists Tampa Bay Lightning.

Dale Hunter wins 900th career OHL game with London Knights as players drench him in locker room

Alex Ovechkin isn't the only Capitals legend to get drenched in the locker room after a big milestone this season.Former Capitals captain Dale Hunter was honored by his players on Saturday night after his London Knights defeated the Windsor Spitfires, 6-3.For the 62-year-old Hunter, it was his 900th career victory as head coach of the Knights.

Islanders News: Brock and a hard place; Bo and Barzal; Noodles

The New York Islanders are on an impressive run, but of course now we're left to wonder if it can continue if they have to go without Mathew Barzal and Brock Nelson.Will probably get some kind of generic update on Nelson, but it will probably be just "upper body injury" and all we can hope is that he resumes skating now or soon.
