Preseason is presason, but three efforts from the Leafs where they’ve outshot, outpossessed, and outscored their opponent isn’t nothing. It’s close to nothing, but it’s not nothing.
What’s preseason for if not unbridled optimism?
Babcock: "I think we are going to have a team that can easily get better quickly." #Leafs

Notes
- Gardiner, arguably the Leafs’ best player tonight, was obviously instrumental in both goals and looked regular-season ready. Let’s hope it’s a sign of things to come for the start of his season because it’s almost always been a case of slow starts followed by late improvements for Gardiner throughout his young career.
